What evidence did you use for English language?Amritsar singh wrote:Hello guys balance droop on 09th may but not got acknolangement later also not got biometric so anyboday biometric who applied 14th April ???
With the way things are going I would be very pessimistic. If it takes up to a month just to take out your money (the bit they like doing the most), I can bet you it would take much longer to do the bit they hate (dashing out that precious once in a life time gift called Nationality).blooms wrote:So to sum up the current timelines:
*Three weeks (about 21 calendar days) from the date of the application, money is first taken out.
*On that same day, the acknowledgement and biometrics letter is sent out. Separate envelopes. 2nd class.
*These letters are received a few days later depending on the post office logistics.
*The Biometrics letter tells you you have 15 days from the issued date. Most people are wisely doing it the day received or the next day. The process takes about 10 minutes (aside from the wait, if any) at a Post Office that provides this service and costs about £20.
*Nobody who has applied early April, has gotten approval. Hopefully these will come before the end of May.
Yes they are. I remembered attending my ILR in-person appointment Saturday. BTW, my payment also dropped on Saturday (9th) and am yet to received any brown envelop.mianrm wrote:are they working on Saturdays as well ?
