Fingers crossed!superstar wrote:@Beige
no they haven't taken money yet. I rang this morning to my bank and asked them if there was any attempt to take £840 and they confirmed that no there wasn't any attempt, then I instructed them and they(bank people) left a message in bank system for my account regarding money £840 will be taken some time in future.
So finguers crossed
I'm gearing myself towards that but at the same time, praying for a response within the 6 months..kiwigirl25 wrote: There comes a time when you start preparing yourself for the 6 month "onslaught" and I think this about the time you resign to yourself that you will have that 6+ month wait.Not good, is it?
I know what you mean. I'm 6-7 weeks away from the 6 month point. There comes a time when you start preparing yourself for the 6 month "onslaught" and I think this about the time you resign to yourself that you will have that 6+ month wait.Beige wrote:I mean as long as 6 months = 24 weeks! It is rather crazy isn't it?! I hope so too.. I'm trying to only check post once a week before I end up tearing my hair out, out of sheer frustrationkiwigirl25 wrote: Only 5 weeks away!?! Boy, time flies when you're NOT having fun. I really do hope you get your decision before then. Fingers cross for all of us

It's simple really. You can either send an e-mail or a letter to your local MP via your local constituancy (excuse my spelling) office outlining your complaint and details of your application etc, remember to include your reference. You should be able to get the address via this link: http://findyourmp.parliament.uk/
You can ask them to raise it with the Parliamentary Ombusman but I would be wary of doing this unless you've passed the 6 month mark AND have already complained to the UKBA. The ombusman will only get involved if you've raised a complaint to UKBA and didn't get a satisfactory response.
I would only take this action before the 6 months if you need your passport back for urgent reasons, i.e. business or family emergency. I've seen responses whereby the UKBA states they advise not to book travel until you have received your passport back or within the 6 months. The MP then siding with the UKBA.
NWO complained to their MP recently so maybe able to get further advice.

. I think I'll wait till the 6 month mark, its only 5 weeks to go so it won't really kill me to wait! I'll see what happens after that.It's simple really.
