Wonder why some get it processed in a few weeks and others have to wait longer.

I have finally got my BRP after 25 days waiting..around 17 working days! ILR was approved within 24 hours.
I did email my MP, but I think we dont need to email them just for BRP if the application is approved. The online form is ok and they responded within time limits.

Hi all, Sorry for separate post, my question got lost in the longer post. I applied for super priority ILR from Tier 2- and got it approved within 24 hours on 5th Jan. Got the letter of approval as well in 2 days. However, no BRP yet! Just checking to see if people are experiencing delays in BRP del...

Hello all, I got by ILR approved on 5th Jan- used super-priority service and got decision within 24 hours. Got letter confirming approval in 3 days. However no BRP yet. Filled in a form on their website 3 days ago--got another mail saying NI number and Case number is needed. Rest of the info I had a...

Hi all. I am a doctor in training and been recently offered a training post for 6 years and they are planning to issue me a COS for 6 years.

@mankurup : how did you know that the biometrics letter was sent earlier (the one which you did not receive?)

Did you call them to find out?

since you have received BM letter, you don't have to call them. I called them just for peace of mind.

Khurram: have you called them? It is better to call them and confirm that the application is on the system.

no. Nothing yet. Since I applied online , i got an automated email acknowledgement. So they might not send a acknowledgement letter. No biometrics yet. I called them up to confirm that my application is on the system and that documents have been have been received. It is there, and have been asked t...

no nothing yet

Hi Squalliram,

I paid with debit card. 1803£ were deducted from my account in few seconds! I wish they were that fast with the application process..

@squalliram : I am in similar situation. I will wait till Monday. What part of country are you in? I am in Scotland.

@ iworker

Do you work for NHS?

@khurram

I know it is a pain. Extension should be a simple process as they have all our information! To add to that, the help desk is not useful and give conflicting answers. When did you apply? I still don't have my biometric letter.

yes. You can give Plab. Once you have cleared Plab, you can apply for training or non-training jobs and once you get it NHS will do Tier 2 for you.

Khurram,

Have you received your biometrics appointment? When did you send the application. I applied on 11th and sent the docs on 12th.

It will not be refused. Better to mention it.

The HO staff often give conflicting answers, it is such a shame that they charge 600£ for each application, but cannot provide a proper reasonable guidance..

Hi, I have the same problem. I am applying for Tier 2 extension...What are you doing about this? Adding wife's name to bank account is going to take some time, and getting the NHS registration will also take time. Why on earth the dependants need to have a driver's license, bank account etc... regar...

Hi KSAdoc,

The visa application form clearly says- how do you show maintenance and there is an option- I am currently on Tier 2 visa. The guidance says that if you are on Tier 2 points will automatically be awarded. What is the source of your information?

Dear all, I am currently on a Tier 2 visa and my maintenance was certified by my A rated sponsor in the earlier Tier 2 application. I will now be working for NHS who do no certify this. My understanding is that , since I am already on Tier 2 visa- neither me nor my dependents have to show maintenanc...
