Finally we got our Docs and they say BRP wud be delivered in 10 days.

We applied 10 March and did Biometirc on 14th April.

We also used tools like MP intervention and request Letter.

But Frankly, nothing is working, UKBA is still doing what they think write and they have reached 2nd week April Biometrics. There may be some pending cases.

All the best to all of you, have faith in ALMIGHTY, "what happen, happen for GOOD".

Hi,

My timeline is somewhat similar to yours. I applied on 27th March and did my biometric on 12th May. I was wondering if you contacted your MP or sent request letter to the UKBA?

BTW, Congratulations for renewal.

My documents were sent back around the same time...I was supposed to receive the BRP last week, but it never arrived...I tried to contact border agency, but got just an automatic reply. Would be very grateful if anyone can give me some hints how to deal with this. I have plans to travel on the 9th of August (as i have not seen my family for 3 years now!). Have you got yours finally?Thank you!!!

Have you tried to contact dx secure who is in charge of delivering the brp cards ? If not , shoot them a mail at tracking@securemail.co.uk giving them information like your name and address and tell them you are expecting a parcel to be delivered through them from UKBA. Inquire whether they have received it and if yes, when are they going to deliver it ??!!

Hope this helps.!

Guys.
Lets be clear here... UKBA is not organised in the way of processing the visa. I have also been waiting for such a long time and even MP's intervention is not working anymore. I have a condition and I cannot even register with a dentist at the moment.. this is how unacceptable this condition is... BBC as well has interfered without any reaction from UKBA...

I would suggest that you guys wait as I am and contact your embassy when the six months are over and that if you cant afford a sollicitor

Thanks for the tip! I did ask dx secure before i contact UKBA and there was nothing for me, then i wrote the UKBA and got 2 automatic replies saying that they will deal with my issue within 28 working days...sounds like a joke. I understand that this is a mistake and therefore, unless i chase them, they will never notice it and send it to me...so i have contacted my mp office, not sure if it is going to bring anything though...

Hi,
My timeline is:
Applied : 28th Jan 2012
Acknowledgement Dated : 3rd Feb 2012
Biometric Dated: 26th March 2012
Biometric Done: 30th March 2012

Awaiting Documents and Visa...

Finally completed 6 months... n Called UKBA yesterday and they said that the application is still under process and all they can suggest is to wait. They cant give me any further information. They also added there is no maximum wait time.

No idea what should be my approach now. Any suggestion.. apart from the obvious of waiting...

thanks
