Good news and congrats
Thanks Raza for the confirmation.

I assume you used standard service of 8 weeks of new system UKVCAS.
And No update/communication after biometric and you received straight away the BRP.
Tier 2 general or dependent?

Sorry if you have answered already in one of the previously posted reply.
Looked your reply Raza, please ignore this post from my side
Was any dependent also?
Hi Neilin,
Thanks

Yes I applied with 2 dependents and used standard service (upto 8 weeks) under new system through sopra.
Didn’t receive any email/letter and directly received BRP through Dx courier.

Hope it helps.

Good luck to everyone waiting for their visas.

Let me know if you guys have any visa related question, I’ll be able to share my experience.

Hi Guys,

Wanted to share my experience, my dependents applied for a tier 2 extension in December and after 7 weeks they got their BRP cards delivered home., without any information or emails of any kind from the home office.

Good luck to all.

Regards,
Jag.

Hi,

I have made the online application for 3 dependent on 13 DEC 2018 and submitted biometric on 21 DEC 2018 through new service of Sopra Steria in Glasgow as Standard service. As of now I have not received any acknowledgment email after biometric or any update from them.

Please let me know is that normal. I mean do they always sent acknowledgment or not.

Thanks
Hi Neilin,

What is the status of your application ?

Did you received your BRP and got any letter , email from Home office.

Please let me know on this as our timelines are almost same as mine.

Thanks and Regards,

Hello All,
To give you an update, we are 7 weeks, 4 days from Biometrics for my Wife (Tier 5 to Tier 2 dependent switch). Still no decision email etc.
I am planning to call on Thursday once the 8 weeks are up to try and escalate things.
Thank you for providing details on your cases, it is reassuring we are not the only ones in this situation.

Kind regards,
Lachan

Hi Lachlan,

Yes, you are right. Our Timelines is exactly same as Neilen.

May be you should get some news in this week or by next week.

I don't get one thing is how come some of them get their results on time and some are waiting for 2 to 3 months.

My case is just like Neilen, My wife extension as a dependent. Most of the documents are exactly the same type of documents which I submitted before for her.

So why take so long. This is just so frustrating.

Regards,
Raj

Hi All,

Just called the UKVI contact center and been told that they have escalated this to Home Office and my application is in the standard service and not the priority service and was been told you will get your refund.

So my 8 weeks will finishes by end of next week , so will have to wait until then and see how it goes.

Raj
