Miu, any news? Burtsbee, yeah I got some news. I did the online enquiry thing a few days ago and to my surprise they answered that my countersignatory didnt pick up the phone so they suspended my application and sent me a new application to sign by a different countersignatory. I called them and fo...

Hi everyone I have checked my passport progress online and got an email that my interview invitation letter has been sent today.

About the tracking system - it would be nice to check online status every day and not waste money on telephone calls (which are now banned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). And also it would save our nerves when we come back from work in hope to find the letter and then end up in dissapointment.... Really, is it so h...

Well they must do checks for ILR and if they can do them in a day it just shows that if the wanted to they can do things quick... Dont remember if I read it on this forum or somewhere else, when a person applied for a 1-day ILR and ended up getting it in more than a month! (also dont remember exact...

In my personal understanding once the payment is taken they are doing initial checks like convictions and offences, days out from the country,home address check, etc... Then the file is ready for the caseworker ONLY to pick it up,have a look at the results of the checks, have a look at the papers (w...
