It was a long wait, enjoy now!!!
Thank you Olazh. the home office sent me a small peace of paper to inform the refugee agreement is change to visit some country of Europe without visa that is why the currant rules is that if you want to visit Estonia, Poland,and Republic Ireland then you need to be apply for visa before travel. even in the document page no 30 is showing visa viewer for visit to short visit but now is changed.

i've been reading this forum since i applied for my TD on 20/05/13. so helpful and has kept me calm through this, but today i decided to give them a call and ask about my application process. All the guy asked me was when i applied? when i told him n May he just said "we are still processing for March - April so you just have to wait longer" :shock:
no explanation or apologies for the delay, just "you have to wait longer". i wonder if the people processing our applications realise they are affecting our lives at all? or is it just "your lucky to be getting this in the first place so just deal with whatever we bull we throw at you".
At the end of the day i am grateful that i have been given this status but that does mean i'm to just grovel at the mercy of the UKBA, and tolerate their rudeness and sirly demeanour.

Hello, I am in the same boat with you even I got it td for my self and wife but I have applied for my children in 20 March 2013 same as you. on Friday I received email from my local MP office said that the home office says this is news case and will be dealt with in queue at the time of your application you did not apply for your children that is why you will waiting till end of December 2013.

Hello all

Post by Sangesaboor » Wed Oct 23, 2013 10:38 pm

Just found out about this forum; very helpful guys thanks
Here is my story:

Applied for CTD after receiving ILR: 20 April 2013
Fees debited from my account: 22 April 2013
Confirmation letter received: 28 April 2013
CTD: still awaited.

The last time I contacted the Home Office to object that 70 working days were long expired, I was told that they were processing September 2012 applications!!! Reading the latest posts here has given me some hope that I have not got much longer to wait; fingers crossed.

Fees debited from my account: 22 April 2013
Confirmation letter received: 28 April 2013
CTD: Today got a rejection letter saying that I have not submitted the old Travel Document. What a massive lie; sooo frustrated; dont know how to react. :cry: just wrote to them saying that I have sent it with recorded delivery for god sake. But the receipt doesn't single out the items they have received. I feel so helpless.

Shame on UKBA!!!! We applied in April still didn't get our CTD. May be we need to sign the petition against UKBA or send info about it to Daily Mail or Evening Standard? We must do something!!!
