Today it has been a total of 6 months and one day. Not going to give up but dont think I will get anywhere if I call the call centre as the last time I spoke with someone they advised me to wait unitll the end of the month. I have contacted my local MP who has written to Home Office, I have written to the Home Office including my solicitor and I have yet to receive a response. I have also been calling the call centre on numerous occations.

Is this just a case of waiting? Anyone else in a similar situation? Can anything be done?

I see from previous posts that someone has been waiting since 20/02/2014....that is ridiculus!

Being from the EU I didn't have to apply for ILR (5yr EEA + spouse is British) but does it speed things up? I applied in early September and have noticed that quite a few members who applied around the same time have already received approval...

Hi Yannisb,

I was in the same boat as you. 5yr EEA + spouse is British. I applied early July 2014, got my approval letter early October. Roughly 3 months. I had applied via Camden council. Fingers crossed you should get it soon in the next couple of weeks.

I am also EEA citizen without ILR and applied in early August. Still "under consideration" according to the HO.

Hi

I applied in May14 and still waiting for reply. I was thinking to phone UKBA however feels like it won't any help. I guess i will have to just wait. There's nothing we can do. Can we?

EXTRA
New discovering this forum November 14 I'm a
Before I was believing in this (the good news is no news) after this discovering not believing any more in this. One day up one day down special when the postman not knocks my door .
Notes. NCS I used NOT have any idea about papers work, sham.
Receiving a letter from HO asking me send the original of life in UK test and a new Esol certificate (not the B1 Trinity) because they are not accepted the one I send before was not from approval list. Date of letter was 17/10 Received on 23/10 asking me the deadline will be on 07/11.

Was lucky enough to found a faster exam B1 from Trinity College (travelling 400 miles)
Receiving my certificate on 03/11/14 send and received by HO on 04/11/14 before 3 days of my deadline. And confirming with HO did my new documents get the office and been delivery to my caseworker or her Department. Whatever. The answer it was yes.
So still waiting and waiting, been in pain like those in this forum waiting. Good luck every one

I think we should creat a timeline for April,May and June so we know how many have been waiting for long than 5months because some of us are May applicants who have not had anything from them yet.

Hello
I did apply in the 7th of April and still waiting. But I have FPN with 3 points and £60 fine (not from court), as well I have PCN due to use bus lane (fine's paid on time) and another fine because of parking and was paid on time. The last thing paying for once the council tax.

I have straightforward application 5 years and 1 year ILR (refugee).

I have sent a letter to HO and got useless reply (application is still under process)
As well I have submitted a complain and got a useless reply ( it is actively under consideration and they will be expediting the outstanding enquiries but can't give you an approximate time to reach the decision)
I have contacted the MP and he promised to send a letter to them but I have not heard neither from HO nor from the MP.

Could you give us some background about your application and what have you done so far?
