Hi,

I submitted my application on 22/06/2020 & Bio-metric submitted on 22/08/2020. Still i have not got any decision on my application. Case worker asked few documents with my employer on 25/08/2020 which my employer provided on the day itself but no reply afterwards. I followed with them twice but no reply at all. Some of my friends who applied after me got the decision . Could some one suggest me how i can push them or any idea when they will take decision ? I have been furloughed from April and missing opportunity because of this is really frustrating.

This is the contact point that I've found for ILR
https://www.gov.uk/contact-ukvi-inside- ... -to-remain

I called them and they said they don't have access to see application status. They advised me to follow up with case worker which also i did but no reply. My application is straight forward Tier 2 Set (o) 5 years . I dont know why they are taking ages to conclude. Do you think it is because of furlough ? It is really hard these guys who works in home office to predict . Some of my friends who furloughed with me got decision.

How do we know who is our case worker? I got the generic delay email before from an email address "person name@homeoffice.gov.uk". Is this person supposed to be our individual case worker?

Two of my colleagues got their decisions and cards before me but they sent their application after me. Our applications are similar even regarding the salary.
I went for dual submissions like them and I am still waiting. I am pretty sure that they are not picking the applications from a queue. Possibly there is a pool of applications that they are choosing from randomly.

I agree, I think it's random. However, I am keeping records of application approvals (only the ones which were shared in this forum) since 10/09/2020 and doing some stats and they seem to be starting from August and then the focus was back to March/April/May/June July recently as follows:

SET (O) is definitely quicker to process than SET(M) generally.
10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th of Sep They were mainly dealing with August applications either SET(O) or SET(M). So August applicants overall were the luckiest with few exceptions of course.

15th and 16th Sep Applications approved were from June, July and August for both SET(O) and SET(M).

17th and 18th Applications approved were from April, June, July and August for both SET(O) and SET(M)

19th and 20th Sep (weekend) Applications approved were from June, July and September for only for SET(O).

21st, 22nd and 23rd of Sep Applications approved were from March, April and May for SET(M) and April, June & July for SET(O).

Today 24th Sep Only SET(O) applications From July, August and September.

I am a Set(M) 04/09 applicant, I just feel that I am now being put in a long queue. For your case hithlum I think your decision email might be imminent as you applied on 25/08 and they seem to be done with March, April, May and probably June applications for SET(O). Hope this helps.

Can you tell what documents did case worker asked from your employer ?

Tbh, its not advisable to chase the CW before its beyond the standard service standard. It can actually annoy the CW.

Hi Cullinan, Yes, You are right but at least they should have acknowledge that they got requested details. Am i right? I saw in the below Gov website stating that if the application is getting delayed, Home office should tell the reason why it is getting delayed within 12 weeks of application submission.

Thanks

Majority applicants who went for IDV app are still waiting.

Are there ANY applicants who went for appointment ONLY and are waiting also??

Seems like ONLY IDV app applicants are waiting.....

I went for an appointment at UKVCAS (no IDV) on 8 September, and have gotten no correspondence of any sort from UKVI. I'm a SET(M) applicant.

It's certainly nerve-wracking when reading the quick turnarounds after biometrics that people are posting in the timeline threads.

My husband also gave his biometrics on 8th sept to no news as of yet.

It's reassuring to know there are several of us out there! I'm trying to remind myself that the timelines posted here represent only a tiny fraction of the cases UKVI is processing.
