Tier 1 (PSW) processing times

Has anybody received their BRP lately? Can you please post your timeline?
It is a long wait and everytime we draw certain assumption about the progress of UKBA, a few days later it changes.
First, it was 2 months and 8 days after bio submission, then 2 months and 2 weeks and last I checked it was 3 months after bio submission. That was last week and since then, i have not heard anything.

When you say dehesion, i presume it's a typo and you actually mean decision.. Pray, why would lots of students be waiting for others biometric decisions, wouldn't they rather wait for their own??

Hello guys, Since long time I am following this forum. Now I am very frustrated about ukba service. If they don't have a people for work they can hire us. Atleast we can help and inform to other people who already applied. Anyway, this is my timeline,
Applied: 22nd Feb
Ack Letter Rec: 1st March
Ack Letter Dated: 29th Feb
Bio Rec: 26th March
Bio Given: 27th March (london bridge post office)
Documents: Waiting
Brp: Waiting

Guys please update your timeline status because that will help us to know who is with us with the same time. Who gives the bio on 27th march pls update their timeline as well.
Best of luck guys. Please pray for everyone. We all are in same boat and we all are united.
Thanks

Hello All,

I am also waiting from long time.......

Application sent :13th feb
Biometric given : 27th march
BRP and Docs: waiting....

Hey guys... I believe that UKBA works by region... On my acknowledgement letter. it was written Yorkshire and Northern region... and it actually depends on the amount of application which is being processed per region... There are many people who have applied and who are located in less populated region like London and who have received their passport and brp already/

Hi guys,

For all those who sent postal PSW applications at the start of April, this is my timeline.

Application sent: 04/04/2012
Acknowledgement: 26/04/2012
Complained about delay, asked for withdrawal: 10/06/2012
UKBA called to apologise, suggested keeping application in: 24/06/2012
UKBA called to say biometric invitation to be sent: 28/06/2012
Biometric letter received: 04/07/2012
Submitted biometrics: 04/07/2012
Received BRP: 11/07/2012
Received Passport: 11/07/2012

Finally the ordeal is complete!

What's up with UKBA? Getting to 3months now, no biometric invitation.
Never will I recommend anyone coming to UK to study......very insensitive system. All these months are leaving most of us depressed.
You get calls for jobs only to be turned due to the incompetence of the people processing the visa.
Someone pays £900+, they process the persons documents within less than 2 weeks while another person pays £540 +£100 (cost posting) and is made to wait FOREVER!!!! Very pathetic.
Who will speak on our behalf? Does it mean we have no rights?
What of the international society of foreign students, cant they do something about this or is it just to organise excursions that they were instituted in the first place? Someone should please talk to me.

Hey when we receive the documents, are they just left in the postbox or do we have to sign for them or do the postman leave a card and we collect at the post office later?

Emailed MP and wrote a letter to PM. I think it's MP who sorted it out, and did so pretty fast!

Hey guys,

I'm sorry this is off-topic, but I've created a petition directed towards Theresa May, Damian Green, and other immigration officials and UKBA executives and directors, demanding transparency, efficiency, and speed in processing our visa applications. I'm sick and tired of being treated this way, and I'm sure you all are too.

Here's the link to the petition:

http://www.avaaz.org/en/petition/Transp ... nQMbb&pv=0

PLEASE SIGN AND PASS ON! Also, I haven't been accepted to the Tier 1 PSW Visa Waiting Time group on Facebook, for some reason. Could someone copy and paste the link there?

Thanks guys! Let's overcome this obstacle together - we've all been so supportive of each other, let's take it to the next level now!

hi everyone,
im seriously fedup with UKBA process,

application submitted: 24th feb
biometrics letter received:march 18th
biometrics given: 5th april ( croydon ukba office)
Documents: waiting
brp: waiting,

i dnt knw how long they will take.... this waiting is killing me.. im loosing all the oppurtunities.. i changed my flight ticket for couple of times... im loosing too much money also

if anyone want complaint about your process then just go through this link and make a petition..

http://www.avaaz.org/en/petition/Transp ... s/?cjXindb

The moderator on the fb group seems to be having problem adding ppl there!!I hv applied few days back to be added!!but haven't heard back.I request ppl to sign the petition by @ashcrav

My timeline is:
Applied on 28th March.
Acknowledgement was never sent by UKBA(as they are ONLY Environment Conscious nt Human Conscious).
Biometric Received:10th May dated 8th May.
Biometric Done at Canning Town on the 10th May.
Nothing has happened since.

Interestingly,my brother had sent his application on the 29th February,2012.His application was sent back twice and than finally money was deducted on the 12th April,2012.He got his biometric invite sometime in the last week of April and he got it done on the 30th April,2012.He hasn't heard back since than.

How UKBA treat student is:

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas ... tingtimes/

They dont even give a definite date.Just click for Tier 2 and you shall see whats happening with the other categories.

Tier 2: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas ... ing-times/

The red tap ism is so evident here.Ppl just write to there MPs and there work gets done and others just have to wait.
