Hey "Dsin" thanks for your wishes and congratulations as you have received the docs back, i hope you would receive BRP soon ( you might already have).
Thanks "LE80" and I sincerely hope you get the good news soon as you have been waiting for almost as long as i waited.
"CDNgirl" Thanks alot for your kind words and I do sincerely hope you get the good news soon. Well my solicitor mentioned the same thing that legitimate students like you or me dont need to worry much as UKBA appreciates the genuine people who got good study record and have a genuine relationship to switch categories. I hope you can share your good news on this forum soon. I wish you good luck.
Also, guys I dont know if its worth mentioning but I have noticed that the letter that comes with documents to confirm the approval, has been signed by someone who is in "Temporary Migration Team"
Basically as on this forum people mentioned that ukba has hired temp staff, looks like it is true. Because i have checked my old visa extension letters and they were always signed by a migration officer but this FLR m is signed by temp team.
I hope the temp staff they have hired do possess the skills to decide people's future. I aint complaining cuz mines decided but just hoping they make right decisions so genuine people like us here dont face a problem.
Good luck to everyone and congratulations to everyone who has received it. This forum has come a long way because when i joined it was on page 4 now it is on page number 58. |

"Temporary migration team" just means the team that deals with applications in non-settlement categories such as FLR(M) - not that they're temporary staff. |

After looking at this sea of good news come through, now I'm anxiously waiting for UKBA to bring down the backlog....
The signs are all there: select committee review, increased MP involvement and now hiring of temp staff. UKBA is trying to fix things.
I am a July applicant and now actively reviewing this forum on a daily basis with the hope that there will be good news coming through for all. Please keep sharing ...
Key dates below
Application date: 4 July
Biometrics enrolled: 4 September |

My husband's biometric card arrived yesterday, a day after we received the doc's back. Our updated timeline:
Applied online: 10/6 (payment taken same day)
Documents sent: 11/6 (received by UKBA 12/6)
Acknowledgement letter: 21/6 (dated 19/6)
Biometrics letter received: 2/8
Biometrics submitted: 7/8
Documents received: 23/10
Biometric permit received: 24/10
Visa: FLR(M) from Fiance visa
Applicant nationality: Cambodian
Both the card and the letter were dated 20th October which was a Saturday so perhaps they are on overtime to help clear the backlog?
Good luck - hope your visa arrives soon  |

Hi guys,
I have been following this timeline for awhile.
Heres our details
sent form - 26th feb
acknolgment - 28th feb
payment - 1st march
wrong biometric given 28th then a new one was issue
biometrics submitted - 12th april.
rest is anyone's guess.
Have called ukba (useless being told no decision is made, even i know that)
- sent a letter to casework - no response
- mp sent two letters - received a letter from ukba saying all applications are being processed we need wait our turn.
Since sending the application I am expecting and need hubby to start work before i go on maternity leave not that they care.
I do not know what is taking so long.
Fingers cross we hear something, getting depressing now... |

| My wife has a theory about why June+ applications are getting done over remaining Feb - May applications. She thinks that the 6 month benchmark is already shot for those souls, so UKBA or the temp contractor are working more on statistically salvageable months. If true, good news for June+ but more of the same for the rest. |

I have to admit that we have the same theory. It does seem like there's a sudden burst of speed on the June applications. There are some Feb ones coming through so perhaps the temp team are working on June & later, leaving the original teams to work on Feb & later?
I just hope they really push on with the Feb, Mar, Apr & May ones as it's agonizing for those who've been waiting that long. |

Well I called UKBA again and the lady on the other line just told me that it still has a "PENDING DECISION" status! 
I contacted the local MP and they sent UKBA a letter on 2nd October and they still haven't got any response from UKBA yet. I also already filed a complaint to UKBA about their super slow process.
Timeline:
Date Docs Sent: 23 March 2012
Received by UKBA: 27 March 2012 (saw it via Royal Mail tracking service)
Acknowledgement Letter: Didn't receive any!
BRP Letter: 4 April 2012 (although in the letter it was dated 30 March 2012)
BRP Done: 10 April 2012
Docs & Result: STILL WAITING
BRP Card: STILL WAITING
