No posts no brown envelop today,

Jan Applicants, Any good news today?

Approvals are being released in lots I reckon.

From 15th June 2015 they will be working on Feb 2015 applications. Most of jan applicants will get their approval within next 10 days.

Hi All,
Thanks imraniqbal2010 , the information you provided is very helpful however it rise the question on how the HO process the application according to the reception time ; can't understand why HO starts looking at Feb or Mar application before finalising Jan ones; not even talking about Dec or Nov 2014 ones!!

It is just like you solve the question you are sure about all the way down in an examination and then come back up to solve the question you need to think about.
This just my idea, may not be correct.
Best of luck to all of us.

first when they received our application some lucky one who the home office think R straight forward especially woman (like my wife in 3 weeks she got her approval ) or people who not been long in uk , but believe me some get quick approval even they had trouble ( just lucky) , and the rest like me ( never lucky with the home office) we have to wait for long
I think the home office is waiting for third party response about US , they looked this month for January application but I think they still don't received nothing about US from third party
I hope will not take very long
what make me angry some applicant received refusal after more then 10 months waiting for some thing is take home office one or two minute to check it out in the system like you were with out visa from this date to this date , and that mean some applications they never look at it since they received it
good luck every one ( if your application is straight forward don't worry soon or later you will be british )

Whats happening? Not even one approval this week.

@robbie_me May I ask why the big gap between approval and ceremony? was it simply the first date available or? or can u book the ceremony for whatever date u want ?

As Feb 2015 applicants start getting approval, I assume most of jan 2015 applicants got their approval. Who is still waiting from jan 2015 just to update.
