It seems like SET (M) applications are being processed faster than SET (0). I wonder why???

You are absolutely right. It does seem very strange. My guess is, that the number of applicants under SET(M) is less than under SET(O). Perhaps, that is why it takes longer to process SET(O) applications.

NewtownDesi · Post by **NewtownDesi** » Tue Oct 23, 2012 10:06 am

Can anyone tell me what is the average time for SET(O) -5 year work permit?

It is ridiculous that they keep your passport for months

If we, SET(O) applicants, knew such info forums like this would not exist. It's circumstantial, at the moment people applied at the beginning of the August have started getting invitation to biometrics.

I agree, it is outrageous, especial when you know that application fee is an average monthly salary of HO employee.

July applicants are only now getting their Biometics enrollment invitations. so Aug and later apps will probably have to wait longer.

@Sheford
Could you please update my timeline in the excel to indicate Biometrics done on 18/10/2012 please? I have updated my timeline in the July 2012 thread.

HI Guys,

I just called the HO to enquire about the progress of my application. After 20 minutes wait a good lady picked up my call and informed me that a biomeric form was sent out yesterday (22/10/2012).

I should get the letter in 5 working days or so. I believe people applied around the same date as mine should recieve thier letter soon.

My application progress date below.

SET(O) - 5 year workpermit
Application posted 22/08/2012
Date on Acknowledgement letter 31/08/2012
Date of biometric letter - Called the HO and biometric invitation letter sent out 22/10/2012
Date of approval - Still waiting

God bless us all.

which number did you call?

NewtownDesi · Post by **NewtownDesi** » Tue Oct 23, 2012 1:22 pm

The number which is given on your acknowledgement letter - 08706067766. I selected the option or general query. If you select 'progress of your application' option, a recorded voice tells you to contact after 6 months and cuts the call.

I told the lady on the phone that I have applied for ILR 8 weeks ago and haven't recieved a letter for biometric enrolement yet and she checked for me if a letter was sent out.

I am struggling to understand why people on this forum are complaining about how long their applications takes when they haven’t waited six months. If you want your application to take less than six months to process then you should have used the premium service.

UKBA states in their acknowledgement letter not to make any calls during the application process, they leave us with no other option. Few applications processed so quickly and few straight forward ones take lots of time. So its better to know the progress of other applicants on the same timeline to get some hope.

Regarding the premium service, I know there are lots of them who made redundant appointments and crashed the purpose leaving many poor genuine applicants to rely on postal applications with fingers crossed. Its tough to stay blind for 6 months and people on this forum get some hope by knowing progress on other applicants who share the same timeline. Also complaints / Swearing... just another way to vent out helplessness. With kind of money UKBA loot from the applicants and for their poor services, the deserve nothing less.

NewtownDesi · Post by **NewtownDesi** » Tue Oct 23, 2012 4:57 pm

I agree with you. A thousand pound is a ridiculous fee. This is usually people's three months savings.

What I don't understand is that if the premium service takes couple of hours, how come postal service take 6 months??!! I can understand a month or two at max but 6 months is way too much unless your case is not straight forward.

I think before they brought up the BRP, the processing time was acceptable. What I don't understand is why UKBA doesn't ask the applicant to give their Biometric at the time of application? Well if they argue how could they make sure that the Biometric records are for the relevant people, why ask for 2 latest passport size photographs??? 2 months to get the BRP letter and another 2 months to get the application completed... This is so weird.
