yes you are right, i applied 18/12/14, it looks like there is no criteria set by HO for processing time and they not doing any thing to improve their service and provide good customer service after earning huge amounts from us.huqqapani wrote:January applications approvals are coming through thick and fast.
Not seen many December 2014 approvals yet.. so hard to predict HO's pattern of processing applications.

I just called and they said it's still under consideration. It's not that I'm unhappy for all the people getting decisions but I feel it's unfair to all of us stuck in this. Today I went through my AN form that I submitted and I couldn't find any information that could take them 5 months to verify. They were quite keen to charge me with a week time and then it appears they have archived my application.
A friend of mine said that my progressive enquiries every 10 days have caused delays in my application process. He says, my application would be moved backward every time I make enquiries on the progress. Is it true?
The other question is I have to travel next month and I have my passport and biometric ILR card. So I believe I can travel but I'm little concerned that would the outcome of my application have any affect on my return and when I arrive back at the airport they might start questioning me. I'm only going for couple of weeks or may be a month at full stretch.
Last question is I am so pessimist that I sometime fear that due to the recently introduced extensive checks, they might cancel my ILR. I don't have any reason for them to do so but just a fear because I heard they will try their best to stop people getting settlement and naturalisation. Can they really?

Travelling won't effect your application as it has got nothing to do with your ILR or application. I myself had been away after submitting application to France and Spain for 12 days, and going for a long trip again next week and nobody asked me any questions. When i went to NCS, I was told that I can go abroad as long as I want but was advised try not to go for more than 2 weeks as Home office might send any correspondence so as long as somebody at the address and can check post it is pretty fine to go longer than 2 weeks.aumar wrote:I am one of early Sep applicants.
