What could be happening to those of us that applied early August ? |
I know you are frustrated, the waiting time for the biometrics letter and then waiting again for your visa. You will get your invitation letter soon, you have to find ways to stay positive. There may be a lot of reasons for the delays, no 2 cases are the same. |

|
|
Congratulations to those who are out of this mess - successfully. I wonder how come the timings of the outcome of a case vary so much?. I have been waiting for nearly 5 months now. (applied 06.06.), however, a friend of mine got his case sorted in 4 months and 13 days only!....I see people are waiting since April and May  (sad)....
Does that mean efficient or inefficient case workers? I am comparing like for like cases here and of course that friend of mine had an exact same case as me..
Any June-12 applicants out there with some good news??Come forward please!
Sam |

r u left this place. why you are so quite these days. keep this place live plzzz. |
Still very much here and checking this thread on a daily basis. Just that there is not much to report.
It has been almost 8 months since I made the original application, and keep chasing up UKBA on a weekly basis to be given the same response - No decision has been made yet, you need to continue to wait!
I've been in touch with my MP, whose prodding last time resulted in the application moving forward slightly and resulting in me getting the Biometric letter. I've recently asked him to intervene again, and am hoping that it brings about some result.
I have to say my MP has been quite helpful through all this, usually replying quite quickly to my messages though dealing with UKBA has taken a huge toll on my professional career and mental wellbeing.
All I can really do at this stage is to wait with bated breath and keep checking my letterbox... |
Hi,
Did you have any issues during your 10 year stay? any visa rejection, overstay, any financial issues? Please share your experience.
Thanks. |
If you look at the spread sheet OttoMatik has stated that he has lost a passport. This usually further delays the process. |

No rejections, no overstays, no financial issues.
5 years student visa, 1 year SEGS visa and 4 years Work Permit.
Pretty straightforward case, apart from one last passport. Supplied police report, photocopies of all visa pages, photocopies of lost passport and documents that covered last 10 years addresses. |

You say that, though I'm not too sure how relevant that is.
After I lost the original passport - I needed to get a TOC (Transfer of Conditions) as my replacement visa would not have had any vignette. I applied for this on a premium basis at the Croydon PEO, and it was all done with my BRP arriving 4 days later.
Now I agree that an ILR application will take longer, though going on 8 months is an absolute joke IMO. |

Hi guys,
Is there anyone out there who applied in late July/Early August who has received their biometric letter yet? I applied 16th August and have not, and from what i can gather on this forum, we all have not received our biometric invitation letter yet. Late August and even 1 applicant from early September I noticed, have received theirs. The unfortunate trend may mean that we 'Olympic applicants' have had our applications moved to one side and later ones are being dealt with first. Lets hope and pray they will 'dig' out the applications and start sending out the Biometric invitation letters. its a long agonising wait!!!!! Any Late July/Early August applicants, please update us so we see if this is just a coincidence. can we speak up against this?
Thanks. |

Hi,
I applied on 11th August and still waiting for Biometrics. I think we should all write letters to Home Office raising concerns that applications sent between late July and mid-August are not getting Biometrics whereas late August and early September are receiving. Specially when it is in Home Office guidance that applications are dealt with in receiving order.
As many of us will write it will make impact and HO will dig out are cases.
Everyone July to August, please respond and make suggestions and find out HO address on which we should send these letters.
Thanks,
Shad. |

@Smshad, it will be nice if all late July and early August applicant can come up with a letter to raise concerns to the HO. I will definitely sign the letter, only God knows why they are delaying our applications. What I intend to do by the 6th of Nov which will make up 3 months of my application is to write to my MP and raise a concern about this and also to let him know that I need to travel asap due to bereavement in my family, hopefully this will speed up my application. Is it worth it ? Has anyone done this before ? What was the outcome of it. I need suggestion as the wait sucks
Thanks Y'all
We shall all smile @ the end
I rep 9ja

i am in the same boat applied on 8th of august and still waiting for Biometrics letter God knows when it will come its really frustrating that people who applied after me they are getting the invitation not me even lots of us .
Dont get it wrong i am happy for others who are getting them but you know how human heart is its really frustrating i hope i will get the invitation in this coming week.
for some reason my heart says that people who applied in end july till mid august will get invitation late but they will get indefinite quick may be they will make the time up .
UKBA is very busy i know but the way they handle things i dont agree they take such a long time the fees they charge is high but the service is no good but what we cant even do anything its like a waiting thing wait and see what happen . |

I applied on the 10th of May and Biometrics done on 01/08/2012..
Nothing heard since, despite writing letters. Waiting is hard for everyone, some of us are luckier than others , by looking at timelines I can see.
Its getting close to six months. Calling and writing to them is equal to banging your head against a brick wall. God help us all.
Are there any other silent observers who applied in May or even before? Please share your experiences.

Fee Deducted 2 days after the above date
No acknowledgment letter received

Not sure how long it will take from there. All I could is wait and hope for the best. |
