Hi folks,

As you can see I am also one of the November applicants waiting patiently. The HO generic responses which I have so far got from the HO call centre are:

1) under consideration
2) In process
3) Could not complete
4) Not completed

Followed by you have to keep waiting.

I wonder how many of you have got the same response.

I called them today to check status and I was told by the lady that my application is in progress and not completed yet :) so I am expecting another couple of months .......
Just to update you guys, I called them today again and I was told same thing that my application is not completed yet and is in progress. I really have no clue what they are up to and why they are taking so long :(. I think the best strategy is to wait as calling them is not beneficial at all or not gona make progressing of your application quicker.


Hello every one just to update you guys that wait is over and today I have received brown envelop with approval dated 5th March on that day I called them to check status and I was told that it is in process and not complete yet :D so I think we should have patience and should wait.

Best of luck to every one waiting on this Forum

Hi folks,

I spoke to HO just now and been told a letter has been posted. The lady on the line was extremely pleasant and helpful. I thought I should share this with all the November applicants still waiting and those who have applied afterwards. Like so many other applicants I had my doubts about the call centre staff, but I must say at least in my case I have been given a useful update. Cheers
