Hi All
Here is my timeline,

Applied online on 8/Aug/2017 (+1 dependant)
Documents posted on 11/Aug/2017
Acknowledgement received on 30/Sep/2017
TRD received Today on : 29/Nov/2017

I should mention that I didnot send the original ILR as i got confirmation email that it is not needed just a clear paper copy of both sides will be enough . Obviously Original of old travel document must be sent plus photos and print out of application forms signed by a solicitor and also back of the photos must be signed as well. To make sure you send everythings simply follow whatever is written on the application form , not more nor less.

It is time for mid Aug applicants ,
Thanks to whoever that shared their timeline.
It is Travel time Now
Good Luck

anyone has experienced please share

I got a letter from HO saying my application has been approved on 24.11.2017 and I should receive my TD within 7 working days from the date of that letter ( which means from 24.11)

Today is the 8th day and I havent got my TD yet. Could anyone tell me roughly how long you guys get your TD since the day you receive the approval letter?

In case I dont receive your TD after 7 days, what should I do? Please help cause I need to travel in 10 days

Many thanks!

Hello, i think it’s better to call DX couriers and give them your name if they have your passport they will let you know when the parcel is scheduled for delivery also can you please share your timeline when did you apply thanks.

Hi Salsabeel

Have u include prepaid envelope with your application to return BRP??

HI, tamilboy.
19th sep 2017 did online and now waiting time...................
applying first time too but a little bit confused after reading @Discretion,s waiting time regarding first time applying experience.
yes i included this time because when i applied for ilr,did not include so it was really hard and almost imposible to track my application, did not make mistake this time

hi Kevin,

In cases of genuine emergencies the Home Office will accept requests to process urgently. You would need to supply evidence of the emergency or reason for requesting priority processing. Read the guidance online. Section 22 of this guidance says:
"Please note that we will only deal with an application as a priority if there is a sufficiently
compelling or compassionate reason to do so, supported by acceptable documentary evidence.
Examples of acceptable evidence might be a recent death certificate, or a recent medical report or
Doctor’s letter. Copies of documentary evidence can be emailed to
traveldocumentenquiries@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk or faxed to 020 8196 0109."

GOOD LUCK!
