i provided special delivery return envelope with my application but i have lost my receipt and certainly could not track it.does anybody know alternative how to get the tracking back.

thanks
No alternative except one. If you didn't deleted the internet history then go back to same device (phone/tablet/laptop) and open same browser then open the same royal mail track link then there you can reveal it by at least remembering first two letters of that reference number. Many times brower reveal that reference number even without remembering two initial letters. In all case use same device, same browser and same website then hopefully it will be revealed there if you notdeleted history.

Dear seniors,
I need to sit for my English test as requirement of ILR application. I got previous IELTS but that has expired last month.

I got one question, for ILR purposes HO requires only speaking and listening scores (correct me if I am wrong), in that case can I sit IELTS test only for Listening and Speaking test?? I don’t want to go for further boring(!) Reading test. Please I need your honest suggestions.

Kind Regards,
Tuhin :? :? :?

Its hard to say abidzahid, as approvals are really tricky these days. I was expecting it this week but hey.... this is Friday night, i checked my return envelope and status has not changed so hopefully next week. I was also expecting Malibu.B to have received his/her approval as his/her date is 28th of August 2014.
Fingers crossed. :lol: :lol:

Since you already got freedom so keep all evidence which make you inconvenient about accessing post even after paying the redirection services and ask for heavy compensation. If possible the relevant royal worker staff asses must be stamped with burned irons. They will try to make you happy by offering 1st class stamps when you complained but don't accept that rather ask for refund of redirection costs plus return envelope price plus the ticket you bought.
Universal soldier i totally agree with you brother. :D

zzzindagi wrote:I applied on 16 August and still waiting. (that was Saturday)

All those who applied with me or before me have already received their approvals. Many people even applied after me have received their approvals.

One person @die hard applied before me but his delay is logical as he gave his Biometric after two months.

@kash and @leo never logged in the forum so they might have received their decisions.

If personally think, i am the last one waiting pre 18th august applicants.

RHYMER2K : The first active person waiting in the forum after me is @ rhymer2k. who applied on 19thAug. Two days after me if i take Sunday out.

Can any one please comment what seems to be the reason in delay on some applications.

Congratulations zzzindagi,
I see you applied on the 16th of August 2014 but i could not find you on google drive?

Now, I realise I've just lost £800.. :( HO is sooooo useless!!!!!

Sorry to say but you jumped too far ahead by booking tickets ....we never know you might get the docs soon and you might find it hard but ...its your mistakeywords if u loose 800 pounds ...HO clearly mentions don't plan anything for 6 months because it's 6 months customer charter .......

I really hope you get docs by 19th atleast so u don't have to cancel your plans and see u r hubby best wishes
Oh yes, maddysheffield, I knew the risk that's why I cannot be mad. The tracker gave me hope, though :)... Actually, I just need to receive the approval letter by 20th. I was thinking that my lawyer could send me my BRP by DHL.

Thank you for your note...
