Has anyone been waiting for their spouse visa for over 6 months as i have been? I posted my application in January and to this day...nothing! I read a thread here about a couple that waited for 8 months and i remember thinking ''i hope that wont be me''. well...it is me now...and then some!! UKBA as...
Hello beautiful people! Am back after a short hiatus :) I decided to just concentrate on other things for a while because i was practically on the verge of going krakers! Am sure even the post man noticed i stopped hounding him for a while. I have been waiting for 5 months now...yes 5 MONTHS...for t...
Congrats, good to hear some positive news at last, hope everybody hears some good news soon Here is my timeline as of 17/03/12 - I believe straightforward application Date Docs sent: 30/01/12 Date Application Deliver to HO: 31/01/12 Date Application fees was taken: 01/02/12 Ack. Letter received: 07...
Tbh I thought that everyone joined a big queue to be assigned to a caseworker. Once "on the desk', a person's application is decided on its own merits and the time it takes for a decision to be reached is dependent on each case. This is pure speculation and I'm evidently wrong since you haven't eve...
I am entering the fourth month of waiting tomorrow for the BAL. I am so distressed about it. Whats the best cause of action? Hi Papertrail, I'm so sorry that you still haven't gotten your biometrics appointment letter. If I remember from your previous posts, the UKBA has already taken payment from ...
I applied in January and i haven't got my BAL yet. I tried calling them but getting through is a miracle. So i emailed my MP who responded the next day and assigned someone to look into my case. The person made an enquiry about my application and the %$#% UKBA said that my application is awaiting al...
I can totally understand that. One night I dreamed about biometic letter the whole night! :( Dear All Bio-metric taken at PO on 11/2/12- still awaiting decision from HO. Am always looking for the postman, this waiting is very stressful. Huh...tell me about it. I am still waiting for my letter...wat...
Good luck leopold! Let us know how you get on! :) Papertrail, I second that. You'd think getting married is the hard part! I was on hold for 45 mins early this morning - had a hunch something wasn't right and I called the post office. PO said, if it the details aren't 100% right, don't bother comin...
I have my phone glued to my ear..i have been calling UKBA foreeever and i haven't managed to go through..This is one of the most frustrating visa experiences ever!!!!!!!! My hubby is getting really lathered up about it too!
Am still waiting for BAL(Biometrics Appointment Letter)..
Bad news. Turns out the clerical error of my name on the biometrics booking letter cannot be amended at the post office and the HO Biometric Enrolment Centre. According to the lady I spoke to, If I do show up with the incorrect details, the biometrics taken would be invalid. Basically they have to ...
8/03/2012 -Its over four weeks now since I submitted my application, and three weeks since I sent letter to the UKBA alerting of my acknowledgement letter being sent to the wrong address. I received no response to my letter and still waiting for Biometric booking letter. How incompetent? With the l...
Here's an update on our situation. After 6 months of waiting, we phoned UKBA but they wouldn't tell us anything. We wrote to UKBA and they did not reply. So, I wrote to my MP. He was quick to send an enquiry on our behalf to UKBA, and we received a message from UKBA that they would now assign our a...
Looks like the bio-metrics booking letter is delayed to be sent out..is this usually the case for anyone applying during this time period...? well i personally applied at the beginning of January. Anniecc applied i think at the end of January. The visa categories are different, but she has already ...
wow yours came together so fast...hope you get your BRP card soon too. Thanks - it took a little over 6 weeks, which I don't think is particularly fast, but I'm hoping the next stage won't take quite so long. Good luck to all those who are still waiting. Well yes.. i aint that fast..I am still wait...
Update on my application so far: Date Docs sent: 31/01/12 Date payment was taken: 02/02/12 Date Ack. Letter received: 09/02/12 (dated Feb 2) Date bio-metrics booking letter received: 14/03/12 (dated 09/03/12) Date bio-metrics enrolled (at Camden Town post office): 15/03/12 Visa applied for: FLR(M) ...
I heard from a few other people who applied that they only got their biometrics booking letter 2 - 3 months after submitting their application! It's a pity especially since they only took 1 working day to process and approve my fiancee visa in my home country. Definitely going for the in-person ser...
If it's any consolation, I sent my application (via post) on the 16th of February and received the acknowledgement letter on the 20th of February. Still no biometrics letter to date! :cry: I have read that some people never even got the acknowledgement letter but they got the biometrics appointment...
Hello all, Wow this forum is so good. It really helps get the info UKBA don't bother giving. I applied for the FLR(M) as well and here is my time line so far... I must say this waiting is a real pain!(curses). The UKBA and HO should know there is nothing hilarious about being literally stuck and not...
