Thanks Nazia.

If you applied using the post office check & send service, how do you know when the IPS receive your application?

In 95% of the timelines posted, it doesn't take longer than 11 weeks for a decision to be made on an application. If after 11 weeks your application is not yet under consideration, I suppose you can begin to worry. Before that, try not to work yourself up. I know its easier said than done !

It is not the NFEE number, its the other one that has only one letter and then numbers.

Boring as those threads may seem, it is actually a lot easier to read and get the desired information. It is probably best to reserve 'chattering' to this thread and keep the other ones 'clean'. If the moderator would be kind enough to make this thread a sticky perhaps those needing to talk about ge...

Yes, the guy on the phone confirmed that, but I’m not sure about that. They sometimes give you general answers. I’m not aware how long does it takes the caseworker to make a decision, any light? What about you, do you have any update? I called on May 23rd and I was told the application was wait...

I know I had no business calling the UKBA to find out about my application as I applied only 4 weeks ago.
