Hi mfawazt,
Its same Home Office No 08706067766 and give them Ref No on your acknowledge letter.

When i try to call this number i can only speak to a computer and then she says that you have to be waiting for six months and that the call is going to end... Is there another one?

I have send them letters, emails,... But no reply.. What can u do to speed things up or do we just need to wait and stay without nothing....? Thanks for your reply!

Even if u talk to them, they gona tell u to wait even after six months.
They only speed up things if u have to do emergency travel such as some ur close relative is ill obroad , n then they need proof like letter from Doctor from other country.

Since beginning of January. I wrote the letter to my MP and she said that she would put some pressure on Home Office. This was a month ago!

When applying, did you send the original BRP or the copy of it?
Anyway, congrats and good luck, sure we will be in touch in some other thread in 2014 (naturalization)

rukia888 · Post by **rukia888** » Thu May 23, 2013 4:28 pm

I sent a copy because in the application form they only required a copy one.
Yeah keep in touch

Hope you hear from them soon. If u still hasn't heard anything from them by end of next month then u shud write a letter of complain. I got the direct number that you can FAX to them. Good luck

alex_shvjac · Post by **alex_shvjac** » Fri May 24, 2013 6:34 am

Thanks for that.
Can you please PM me the fax number or post it here so that everyone can actually see it.

Hello Congrats Big Time

Btw if i may ask, how long did your first CTD took?

Hi eveyone
actually I was wondering if anyone has experienced the same as me or not,
I have applied for my first TD 2 months ago, and I have sent my original BRP card, now I am worried about the BRP? do they return it to me or then I should apply for it again?

thanks

I applied for mine on the 6th of feb they received on the 7th and sent me a receipt letter on the 8th till then nothing and we are already in may!!!
I contacted my MP who has just sent them a letter requesting a letter of acknowledgment so i will be able to get a job.

also i just find out that you need to have you refugee for a year before you are able to apply for the travel document. maybe that why they are taking a long time

J2013 · Post by **J2013** » Fri May 31, 2013 8:59 pm

Contact them ASAP coz it could be lost!!!!1

Its taking around 6 months so don't worry. You don't need to apply again for BRP they will send it back.

Check your bank account if they have taken money. If they have taken money then just wait, if not call them. It should not take that long.
