Hello Pazpatel,

Just checked the status and it hasnt changed.

As Ravikd has pointed out we are still around 40 working days. Hopefully things should move by this weekend as last week on friday UKBA cleared lot of applications from Pakistan.

Hopefully we should hear in next fortnight, as latest UKBA stats released in March indicate that earliest decision for applications in India (Hyd centre) was 45 days.

Previous stats released in Dec 2011 showed earliest decisions were made in fortnight (I think 20% applicants in Hyd).

So based on this, we can keep our fingers crossed and expect some good news in week or two and hope they dont delay the process even longer

Best wishes

I really wish there was a system to exchange the weather on-demand..i lived in the UK for nearly 6 years..LOVED the weather over there..I used to ride my cycle over there everytime (rarely used the public transport),so the weather was perfect for me..summers are really pleasent and beatiful..the only part of the weather which I hated was the gale force winds which blow during the winter..
