Any recent experience from last month up to now, at what point you guys had the tracking website showing something ?
Tried all reference I could think of and relevant, nothing shows something for me. Did biometric on 25 Nov.
Read it is a trial/beta service.
Please share
I am being patient. Just stating that it is a bit disappointing when the initial impetus was incredibly fast: from submitting the application via NCS to receiving acknowledgement letter + biometric enrollment to doing biometrics all within 1 week and then silence.baddy wrote: ↑Mon Nov 27, 2017 7:45 pmYour case is roughly 3 months ... I think you should just wait and be patient. Different cases with different country of origins with different immigration histories and different activities in the UK. All these will be deciding factors.baccus99 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 27, 2017 6:36 pmPretty disappointing in my case if like you say, people applying in Oct are being decided before people like me who applied at the end of Aug. Just think there is no process as such and it's more like a lottery game (which of course I don't even play as I am pretty unlucky in general!). Still awaiting and it's 90 days now...my application should be pretty straightforward: EU citizen married to a BC, always in work for the whole duration of 24 years, no CCJs, no criminal records, no driving license endorsements or parking tickets even. What could be holding a decision beside my caseworker being probably swamped? Fingers crossed I will hear soon. Very frustrating...
there seems to be no consistency at all with the process. I.e.: I received the email notification on 01/09 that application was received and being considered. That also included confirmation of money taken out, together with the request to go and do biometrics. All this within 1 week of applying via NCS.tallahassee wrote: ↑Tue Nov 28, 2017 12:03 pmOut of interest, can I ask how many of you did not receive a confirmation e-mail as part of their application and still had their cases decided within less than say 3 months?
I never received a confirmation e-mail and it appears that even though my application is super straight forward (EEA PR, same job for the last 6 years), it is taking longer to be decided than other people's who have applied around the same time or even later than me.
I know the timeframe is nothing unusual yet, but I am wondering whether no confirmation e-mail might mean older, less tech-savvy and slower case worker?
The key question is whether you received the biometrics request. As long as you have and you know your case reference number - you are good. The email confirmation is really the only thing HO does "electronically" when it comes to communicating with you, unless you initiate the exchange of emails where they usually tell you to write snail mail instead. Annoying in the 21st century and in the 1st world country, but we just have to live with it I guess...tallahassee wrote: ↑Tue Nov 28, 2017 12:03 pmOut of interest, can I ask how many of you did not receive a confirmation e-mail as part of their application and still had their cases decided within less than say 3 months?

Ok and you're welcome buddy! Good to know you got the biometrics letter at the same time. Some people have some haven't.tallahassee wrote: ↑Tue Nov 28, 2017 3:12 pmYes, I did receive the biometrics letter together in one envelope with the confirmation letter, which is also unusual when compared to other members, but I don't mind.
I just can't wait for not having to worry about this constantly anymore. It's more mentally draining than I expected... =(
Thanks for your replies baccus99 & swintooh.
It happened to me too - i received biometrics letter along with confirmation letter in one envelope.tallahassee wrote: ↑Tue Nov 28, 2017 3:12 pmYes, I did receive the biometrics letter together in one envelope with the confirmation letter, which is also unusual when compared to other members, but I don't mind.

A new online service which is great as I won't be anxious about the post every single day
Ekaterina, get a cup of tea, relax on the couch and watch your favorite TV program sister. Your application will be decided successfully. You have given them enough evidence. The birth certificate ofyour child that was born during the requested period is enough.Ekaterinas2016 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2017 6:17 pmHi guys,
Date of my application is 4th of October 2017
Additional documents requested 14th of November
I have sent the documents to them on 22d of November 2017
The status of application changed to "Decided" today
Waiting is just unbearable
If only my application could be straightforward, but it's not
So I am very anxious and thinking about how will I cope with refusal if it comes
Thank you for your kind words yesterday, you managed to reassure mebaddy wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2017 6:26 pmEkaterina, get a cup of tea, relax on the couch and watch your favorite TV program sister.

We applied on 07/11/2017 and we have the same message on the screen. Looks like they stop using this system from November.
Congratulations to you! Mine changed to Decided today, so I am hopeful of getting the letter with acceptance in the next few daysEkaterinas2016 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 30, 2017 1:31 pmThank you for your kind words yesterday, you managed to reassure mebaddy wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2017 6:26 pmEkaterina, get a cup of tea, relax on the couch and watch your favorite TV program sister.

And actually, you were right, today just one day after I got "decided" status online, I received all my supporting documents and approval. I have to wait for ceremony letter now, but that's more relaxing wait:)
In my case tracking system worked efficiently, status updates were on time.
Wish the same luck on everyone here
Good luck guys
