what i am worried about is i was refused twice while i was extending my visa. one was in 2007 and another was in 2009. had some traffice offence issues and i didnt know that record stays up to 5 yrs if you pay fine to any court.
so fingure double cross this time they dnt find any silly reason to refuse my application as no offence been made last 5 yrs.
thnx again ppl here for the support.

hi rumeee007

I agree with past posts suggesting that as long as your stay is currently legal at the point of filing the application then that's all that matters. And i assume your situation has been cleared up when u made the application. in this case, i wouldnt worry too much if i were you.

What is striking is that most people here have not gone through a solicitor because they feel their case is straightforward... unless of course if they have got any complications.

Also, if you have noticed most applications are successfull. But i have also noticed people get more anxious whether their application would be rejected MORE than the anxiety of waiting for weeks hearing nothing, which i think is unjustified a little.

This is why i think people should keep their hopes up since its mostly about waiting... so it helps carry on doing other things in life than contiue worrying.

Patience is a virtue

i also wish everyone updates their situation here so we can all estimate how long our applications are taking .... especially the silent members!

All the best to everyone

I've been a silent follower of this forum for some time and found the statistics it provides on waiting times very useful and reassuring. I thought I'd now throw my timeline into the ring:

Application date: 23-April-2012
Acknowledgement letter date: 30-April-2012
Fee taken on 1-May-2012

Still waiting for the biometric letter...

My case is relatively straightforward: 8yrs student + 4yrs WP however could not apply earlier due to total absences from the UK being over 540 days. I don't have original passports covering first four years as the issuing government used to confiscate old passports when issuing new ones. I'm applying through a lawyer. Documents submitted: passport + copies, LIUK, letters from school / uni / employer, bank statements, council tax letters, GP letters.

Best of luck everybody!

Thought it should be time for March applicants to get onto this post now!

My timeline:
Application Sent: 01/03/2012
Application Received: 02/03/2012
Confirmation Letter: 05/03/2012
Biometrics Invitation (sent): 23/03/2012
Biometrics invitation (received): 26/03/2012
Biometrics done: 26/03/2012
Awaiting for response!
Information:
Applied through solicitor, whom used the wrong form, but UKBA had a grace period so was okay - not sure how it will influence the speed.
Student dependent for 5 years, and student for 5 years. No gaps or absence more than the limit.
Applied with lots of extra information + SAR information.

Here is hoping that I get it back soon! Anyone care to guess when I get it back?
