Hi.
Is there anyone still waiting for a biometric letter for July Application?
Response from ukba "Application is not in the system, write to liverpol" after passing 14 weeks. |

The address is mentioned on the acknowledgement letter.
UKBA
PO BOX 306
Liverpool
L2 0QN
But I believe there is no point of doing this. |

Dear All,
Today I received my BRP for my SET(O) application that I made at the beginning of March. It has been one week off 8 MONTHS since I applied for this.
I have been observing this forum for quite some time now - and will probably not visit much more - therefore I am going to take this opportunity to say a few things:
Firstly, this is a hateful process and I'm sorry that ANYONE has to endure it. Although the UKBA is clearly a shambolic (dis)organisation I would encourage people who have had their applications in process for longer than 6 months to 1) contact their MP and get them to make a formal request for expedition 2) if you hear nothing, do it again, and again, and again. Don't be afraid to nag them. They are the government and therefore are the only people with access to this government agency. Make it their problem.
Secondly, write complaint letters to UKBA.
Thirdly, to all those who have applied 2, 3, or even 4 months ago - STOP MOANING! There are people who are waiting twice as long as you so SHUT UP.
Again, for all those waiting longer than 6 months I feel your pain but remember this - if you satisfy all the requirements and you've filled out the form correctly then you'll get your visa.
Best wishes. |

Hi dear,
Your details are similar to me but I am still waiting....... 
| Scanner wrote: | | Justiceseeker wrote: | | Scanner wrote: | Congratulations to all the successful applicants. Can those posting, specify what set their ILR application relate(d) to, i.e if it is Set O or M or JR. it helps to give a better view of category of applications. As it is it is difficult knowing which successes are set 'O', which is my application category.
Is it worth suggesting maybe different threads for Set O applicants, set M applicants etc?
I sent my application on the 2nd of may 2012, did my biometrics in july and still waiting for home office to get back to me.
Any one else with similar time frame, who has not yet heard from HO? |
For SET(O) we have separate thread:
http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=114751&highlight=set++timeline |
Thank you Justiceseeker, the thread has the header of ‘Set O and M’. It is not specific to Set O. Also it seems like it is for august applicants time line only. |

My timeline is very similar to yours - applied in the end of May - Biometrics done beginning of Aug - SET(O) application - not heard yet. There are atleast 3 others I know in this forum who have applied in the same week - who are waiting - Good Luck |

Make it five people. There are two others 'set O' who applied in the first week of May 2012, who are still waiting for a response. |

| Just out of curiosity, do applicants who are in employment and meet the income criteria ‘Set O’, have their applications processed quicker, than those who are self employed or a combination of employment and self employed, because further checks need to be carried out to confirm income? |

I am inclined not to agree with that statement, as I am employed - salaried - and know others as well - for whom it has taken almost six months. |

I know, totally agree with you.
I personally chose to go down postal options because there was a change of circumstances and I missed the window to book the appointment, but also knew how long was expected for the waiting time, plus I knew I was making some savings in fee.
To me waiting for 1 year makes no problem as long as I can work in the mean time and can stay here forever afterwards, which I dreamt of ever since I landed on this country 17 years ago. Yes, I've waited 17 years so 1 extra year is nothing to me.
I know there are emergencies and urgent requirement to travel etc. but moaning before promised time lapse has a little meaning. |

Congratulation!
Thank you for sharing your experience here, and may I say you are absolutely right,
There are so many people waiting for AGES to get this done, and people start complaining after a couple of months is ridiculous!
now you are free to resume your life! Enjoy!!

| Looks like quite a few good news recently for late June Set M postal applications. No good news for early July applicants at all? |
