Congratulations Muhammad13 glad to hear about your approval letter. Others waiting may have their approvals already printed just waiting for tiny glue to seal the envelope and off it goes :D
May Allah bless us all.

I'm skipping on detailed charts for Oct from this week onwards, just giving week wise summary.

These charts are based on data extracted on 3rd Mar 2014 (Not end of day of-course). Must to mention!!! Big thank to jotter for helping on data for these charts.

Hi I received a call from Nationality dept (uk) she was asking me if I have sponsor any one in last 2 years?

I sponsor my mum her visit application is in process as well from OS.

I answered every question and she quickly said thanks and bye

It's been over 4 month I don't understand what they are doing and
why they call me ?

On a positive side this is an indication that someone is looking at your application and it won't be long that a decision will be made. You have satisfied all the questions so don't worry your approval letter is printed and when you will get it check the date and it will be 04/03/2014. :) Good Luck.

Oh, delighted to see some October applications being processed ... finally someone in the team seems to be sensible enough to pick the applications that came earlier first ...
