These fees do not match or come closer to any same sort of service in the UK or Europe. Whereas the service level and delays also not this poor in anything else. Is their any body in the UK who could look at this. Can anyone not take notice. Are these caseworkers free to do whatever they want to. Can we complain to ombudsman? Coz I think that's where one should complain if a department is dealing unfairly. Is there any way all effected people could get together and act jointly? Honestly we should come out againt this. Otherwise they'll never stop. This is emotional blackmailing. They know we came from various countries. They know we have families back home who may need us anytime in emergencies. But they don't bother and keep passports for months and years and if you need it for emergency travel then too they take several days to return and also your application is considered as withdrawn. Means your clock has stopped. Now get new visa from your country. And if your parents decide to visit you here, they are just taking visa fee and handing over refusals to them too. Even those being refused who have previously visited UK for four to five times and always left coutry on time without doing anything illegal. Also they have removed right of appeal for them. Means they're decision makers and they are acting like courts themselves with ARs only.

People argue that this is their coutry. I understand this is their country. But according to economic policies of their own country, they introduced us their points based migration program and we fulfilled their criteria. We have sold properties back home to settle here. We paid fees which are nowhere in other departments for any services. We didn't enter this country through hidden route. We came through proper chanel exactly as they wanted us to. We paid our role which they expected. We didn't take a penny from benefits as they wanted. We were not criminals so have clear records. We paid massive taxes to meet their requirements. What else now?

Waiting, waiting and waiting? They're just looters. Their forefathers looted us by entering in the name of trade. Now they enter only in oil rich countries along with their alliances. But since they found we can be used as cheap labour for their economy, they initiated programs for us. They have used us well. Now the message is simple. "You have paid taxes and fee. Thankyou! But now leave"

We should get together to stop this. Unfortunately all of us want others to go out for our rights. But we must understand that we should do it for ourselves and for our children. And we must do NOW. A thousand people should go outside parliament, once or twice, to raise this unjust. Their justice system is not bad. But we have to come out with louder voice to tell the media that we are also human beings but are being treated very badly. Please come out. We should discuss this to initiate a campaign. Please!

Still waiting. Do you think its a good time to call up customer to find out why the delay?

So i just called the HO customer care to get a status update. I was informed that "No decision has been made" and that i should get a letter advicing me that the application has passed service time.

Has anyone experienced this? what should be my next line of action?

Hi Omokehinde,

What's the update on your application? Mine is now going 7 months

strada wrote:Hi Esperer,

Still no update on my application. It's now 7 months 2 weeks since I applied. I am a loss as to what to do as well. I thought of the fast track option available for £400. But after all these times of waiting, not really sure what to do. Have you tried call them and did you do tax amendment?

Hi Strada,
I haven't called them as I thought they ll answer the same as I read on the posts that we can't give a time and I'm expecting a letter to say they will take more time.

When did u get that letter? Before or after the 6 months finished?
Do you mean the premium upgrade? We applied for it and got rejected as they said it's already under processing.

Yes we did tax amendment.

I have applied for my son on SET(F) by premium service on the 18/04/2016, they didn't interview us made us wait for 5 hours on that particular day but called us and gave us a letter saying that they need to make additional inquiries. I waited for four months and approached my local MP who wrote to them and they replied saying it s still under process and the inquiries haven't been done yet.I wrote to them twice as my son uni has already started and the 14/10/16 is his last day of enrollment if not he will miss a whole year, thee uni wants to see his passport before they can offer him the course. I'm so desperate i don't know who to go to. any advice for me please.?????

I will hopefully update with more specific/accurate dates as I am currently at university.

We sent our application on: 05/05/16
We received our letter for biometrics and another letter about additional circumstances on 17/06/16,which the lawyer seemed worried about. It instructed us to fill in any additional grounds that we may have missed on the application - we had nothing to add so we sent it with no further additional grounds. Our biometrics and the aforementioned letter was sent off on 21/06/16

We finally received the good news of being granted indefinite on 03/10/16, I will hopefully be able to update with more specific dates and details in the near future. Just wanted to post so other know that May applicants are starting to receive the good news, so good luck everyone.

God is good!

I have got the same message when I applied for the premium upgrade and the message was from the premium upgrade team. I don't think that it didn't seem that the rejection was due to my application in the process of being decided since my application has been approved more than 2 months after I made the premium upgrade application.

thanks @shark118.

Can you share on which day did you receive Passport and BRP as well? Someone suggested that the docs are posted only on Thursday/Friday to be received on Friday/Saturday.

Kash,
My application has been approved on Tue and arrived on Wed but my case wasn't normal as I have requested an early decision due to family emergency. However, I've heard from my friend he's received his documents on Mon.

Hi Espirer,

I never got a letter form them, I only called them after 6 months. The upgrade I meant is the link below. Is it the same one you used.
