What was the outcome of the case you mentioned.
Thanks
if application posted on 5 or 6 or even 7 July which was a Saturday it was in time for old Rules to apply it is the post office stamp on the envelope that matters. It does not matter much when bio was taken, if it was taken it means caseworker allocated and application being worked on, some inquiries take long But if it meets the old Rules it will be approved . don't worry about how long it takes it is taking these even a year -kuruvi wrote:Thanks for the info. I think we posted the application on 5th. It took over 4 months for biometric letter to be sent. Done bio in early December and no news after.
When did the other applicant done biometrics.
Yes it is surely so, it will fall under old Rules- they issued a caseworker guidance in Dec 2012 for transitional arrangements included in HC760. Guidance document set08 specifically says "Old Rules" to continue to apply to applications made before 9 July12kuruvi wrote:khan
Thanks again for the info. I am, now, re-leaved that it will fall under old rules.
I read it http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewto ... &start=720 here that the processing time clock start only after biometric data are entered.
The reply says
"Postal applications are received by our office in Durham where our commercial partner takes the fee. Despite what you may think the Home Office does not receive the fee until such time as the application is decided. Once the relevant fee has been cleared (this can take up to one week depending on the applicant’s choice of payment method) the application is passed to the relevant office responsible for deciding the application. The application must then be recorded on our computer system and our aim is to do this within one week of receipt of the application. Unfortunately the level of applications received meant that some applications were waiting much longer than this. As part of the process for inputting the application the applicant is sent a request to enrol their biometrics. Additional staff were recruited in 2012 to assist us in reducing the time between receipt of the application and inputting and I am pleased to tell you that we are now inputting applications within one week of receipt.
The application is then held until the applicant has successfully enrolled their biometrics. As our website makes clear the enrolling of biometrics forms part of the application process and the service standard does not start to apply until we have received the biometrics."
Hmm, it means it is not yet 6 months since we enrolled biometrics.
If it takes a year there is no guarantee it would be a refusal or approval, Yet have never heard an approval in less than a year on any before 9 July case, but heard of refusals in less than a year - fingers crossed , patiencekuruvi wrote:dozywaliadozywalia wrote:My dad applied on 6 th july...

Did you get any update on your fathers application.
We are still waiting and it is 11 months.

Not sure about a fight you have in mind, but there was bit of an effort, an15Jan wrote:We need to get together and fight these draconian rules, they make no sense and it's unfair to leave the Parents/Grandparents when they need us most.
Anyone up for the fight and remember this will be a long one.
