As I can see in my letter, there is HO reference number. So, how can they have ref number but not application in th system?
It is rhetorical question. |

Thanks again for your comments.
The spreadsheet ,I've done is in date order of biometric examinations for June applications.
Worrying is that UKBA have only processed 110 apps up till end of last week, (in the week that my wife applied) - still 660 to go.
at least we are looking at the most, from now to 2 weeks-Hopefully.
To fellow applicants, who observe the board,
Please register and post your timeline - it does help all of us, who are waiting. |

Im now in a similar position to Leekybob we have had a missed delivery attempt today but ours was from DX? I am not expecting anything else to be delivered... This was the people that delivered my daughters passport recently so could this be it???? Anybody that has had there visa recently please let us know??? Its now being redelivered wednesday... fingers and toes crossed trying not to get our hopes up as this could mean we can take a trip home before I return to work soon..... No letter received.

Hi! My adviser said they haven't received it, though I have a sneaking suspicion that they've lost it. I don't really care, as personally not needing it, and money has been taken, plus have Royal Mail delivery confirmation.

As for acknowledgement letter, I have not received it yet, though my legal adviser may have lost it. My feeling is that letters are not always received?
|
You should ring yours legal advisor and ask for Ack letter.Let see what he reply..In most cases home office send acknowledge letter to legal advisor within 2 weeks..Normally in one week. |
