Why? Every application is different and therefore can take different times. Case workers can work at different speeds.

It's not a big conspiracy, you know.

For the amount of money they charge, 6 months is not good enough, I am afraid. They should be providing a much better service than they do currently.

I can only sympathise with everyone here. I have waited a full six months for my Indefinitely Leave to Remain without ringing UK Border Agency Customer Service line once for an update. Why can’t a lot of people here do the same? Remember you always have a choice. If you are not happy with Government then you can always choose this leave this country by voting with your feet. It saves you from all the headache and the expensive fee you have to pay.

As a case in point, most people here would have gone for an in-person PEO appointment as opposed to waiting 6 months for ILR, that should give you some perspective on how the rest of the world may think differently from you about some things.

Completely agree with what you are saying!

Guess another weeks wait or so looking at royal mail times for second class post at the moment.
