received a letter for BRP registration (was a part of my ILR application) with
a case reference number in early days of June which I submitted in the same day.
it's now mid September & I haven't received anything.(6 months).

I tried calling UKBA today,and a recorded message says they cannot provide any information on applications made in the past 6 months and hangs up!

this is disgusting.. :x
Call them on 0870 606 7766 and then option Press 4 and then 2.

My 6 Months going to be at the end of this week :(
thanks for the tips,I called this number but gave up after being on hold for 20 minutes,will try again tomorrow.
You got to wait atleast 30 Minuts before they answer the phone and best time is to call between 1400 and 1500 ...

It looks past couple of weeks are really slow in terms of decision making as there are not many approvals.

Is there anyone new received their BRP/documents back who applied during April/May time?

Received conformation on the 31st May 2012 of receiving the docs

After that nothing

still Waiting

Now can please some on tell me if they applied around the same time as i did get their visa or any information wud help please

From what I gather, it takes about 2 months from application to biometric letter.

And then a further 2 months approximately, from biometric appointment, to letter of approval.

Anyone else think that sounds right, on average?

I agree with you. I also think that this is happening

Month by month tracking of applications

Post by SameerBhagawatUk » Tue Sep 18, 2012 11:58 am

I was wondering if it makes sense to start a new thread for a month by month tracking so that people around similar times can track that thread and come to know about the happenings to applications similar to theirs?

Any comments / suggestions?

It sounds like a good idea and it's definitely better than lumping all the applications together.

It's nice to have the history and to be able to compare with older (or newer) cases. I know the weekly update post is getting a bit lumpy, but I sort it by application date to make it a bit more readable. I will post an update of the list tonight.

You are not going to get in back before November. You should have tried premium service instead.

I think this would be a nice idea to Create a separate thread based on the month when application was made so all people who sent their application in July will discuss under a particular thread lets say "ILR - July 2012" which will include both SET (O), SET (M) and other ILR applicants but at least this will group all people from July and will be easy to handle the progress based on each month. The only downside is that at the moment people share different ideas and how they went through the whole process which you will miss if you are only checking your own monthly thread..we will need to bounce between our own monthly threads and a General thread.

Who is going to make monthly threads? We can start from Feb 2012 to September 2012.

OK I have created July 2012 thread here.

http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewto ... 044#708044

All JULY 2012 SET (O) or SET (M) please post updates in that thread.
