Something is wrong with your basic maths. If you sent it in Nov 2012 and received it in October 2013, that takes only 11 months Unless there's a typo?

Hi Alimanu, simple thing is to call ur council with ur HO ref # and tell that u recievd approval letter. if the council has recieved already u should be on their system which tells u about the status. HO are very cheeky and the telephonic associates are not pleasant in this regard since they are trained that way. i think some law needs to control and regulate the HO itself with thier service transparency. I am sorry to say this but this is an accumulative of bitter experiences.

That is long, most people only wait for less than 2 months or just about 2 months. I know they are having delay problems due to rule change but you should have received your application by now. IO would advise you to call them so you can have a piece of mind
