Acknowledgement letter : 30 August 2012
Biometric letter : 25 October 2012

It is amazing how late August applicants all had their biometrics done while early August applicants are still waiting.

No payment still?
Any way to download the spreadsheet instead of just viewing it online?

If you used cheque, bankers draft, postal order, there are no problems.
But if you have used debit/or credit card to pay for the application fees,then there are chances that the payment might have got rejected simply because of UKBA payment verification system .

Agree with you Ged. I got ack letter dated 16/08 but no Biometrics yet.

Hello All,

I applied for long residency set (O) and still waiting for bio metric after 8 weeks. Here are my details:

Date of Application: 24/08/2012
Acknowledgement letter received: 03/09/2012
Biometric request received: Still waiting
Biometric given: Still waiting
Passport and BRP received: Still waiting

I know many of you who applied on 24 August have received their biometric request but I haven't yet. I'm not sure why. Is anyone in a similar boat? What do you think might be going on?

Thanks
Pari

Hi, I posted mine on 2 oct, ukba has taken the money but I am still waiting the acknowledgment letter, seeing that everyone applied later than me has received.

Regards

Don't see a point why you want to download this spreadsheet. Anyways, I can see you are on the spreadsheet already. I am assuming that you've got a Microsoft Login (Hotmail/MSN/Windows) which you might've used to enter your details. when you open the spread sheet using your MS Login click on File -> SaveAs then click Download. - HTH

I agree with you both and noticed the same. I sent my application off on the 15th August and still waiting for my biometric. Let's assume the officer dealing with the first half of August is just slow and will get round to them this week. I really pray!!!

Dear Friends,

Congratulations to those who are out of this mess - they should feel happy and celebrate!. Looks like the UKBA's service has further deteriorated, i.e. from worse to worst. I see people are not being invited for Biometric (for over 2.5 months) and on top some people are not even getting their acknowledgement letters !!.

Has anyone who applied "late May" or "June" got a reply yet. Please come forward. I am really worried, as I applied on the 06/06 and it will be nearly 5 months next week. Horrific wait continues... good luck all!

Best Regards
Sam

A new row is added at skydrive "Waiting time after Biometric enrolled". hope it gives better understanding that how many weeks they are taking to process a job after Biometric enrollment .

Im there, made account but spreadsheet does not let me write or add any thing.....

don'tknow how to do it

I applied in mid August and didn't receive any Biometrics invitation. This is getting me a little worried now after seeing the people who applied after me got their invitations.

However, it looks like I am not alone in this boat. I have seen few of our mates called the UKBA regarding this and are fruitless.
May be we shall wait a bit longer and then give them a shout.

I have applied at the beginning of october, money debited on the 9th October, but NO acknowledgement letter been received!

I will need to present this to my employer to continue my employment, what would be the best way to get a copy of the letter?

I have already sent a letter to PO box at liverpool to request a copy last week, which may take some time to process?

or i could request HR to do a employer service check to verify my application is in process?

options are appreciated.

Looks like a good blog where everyone share their problems and provide solutions.

Application Sent: 22nd August 2012
Acknowledgement Received: 23rd August 2012
I have spent 7 Years as Student + 2 Years as Fresh Talent + 1 Year as section 3c as my last leave as student was refused.

Not heard anything after that. Also have a query i didn't send my Life in UK test until 10th September as i didn't get a date will this affect my application.

Thanks

It has now been 17 days since any one on this forum received their ILR. This appears to be the longest gap ever. UKBA please have some mercy on us.

I am not sure how many people are sharing their outcomes..! The wait is getting longer and harder. It will be 5 months for me next week. It was a straight forward case, dealt with in an incompetent way.

Please UKBA - show some respect and mercy... or shall we file a mercy petition, but I guess they will take 6 months just to read that petition too.

Please May, June*12 applicants come forward and share your experiences / outcomes. I applied 06-06-12. Good luck all...!

I applied in May and I am still waiting . We have to stay positive and encourage each other. I know the waiting is stressful, but by reading the posts here, I know that I am not alone. Don't worry, we will all get out ILRs soon.

hi all

nice to see applications with bio metric only on time line. i dont think we need to see the time duration of the old style application anymore
