So this is what it feels like! ;) So happy for you, Gala - it's our lucky week! :) Thanks for all your support - I really appreciate it! quote="Gala"]My life is back!! The biometrics permit arrived yesterday and no errors found this time yay!! In fact the guy of DX secure services came on Thursday ...
Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! I just got my passport back this morning! I can't believe it - I can't stop looking at it! I'll post my stats later but just wanted to thank everyone for their support!! Wow 23.5 weeks later...whew!
Oh Nooooo....so sorry to hear this. Write a letter of complaint!! Two months to contact you is completely unacceptable. Let us know how you make out (hugz) As feared, after 2 months and many phonecalls my application has been returned to me. The acompanying letter cites that 'Payment could not be ...
Hi Gman! **CoNgRaTs!!** You must be so relieved - so happy for you! Thanks for all your hard work in keeping the board up-to-date and being a great friend to all of us. Enjoy your new freedom!! :) x Great news guys, I finally got my passports back..... my timeline is as follows: 1. Previouse visa ...
Thanks Gala! :) Now let's hope it goes through quickly! :) @ UKWannabe, glad to read your post, you really deserved that apology. I wonder why you have to wait to the end of August to get your papers back, how long do they take to get those biometrics permits ready? Anyways, hope the wait ends soon ...
Congrats, Littlebits! So happy for you! I received some good news today - I actually received a phone call from a Senior Caseworker @ UKBA (who looks after complaints) apologising for all the inconvenience I've encountered with my application. She said there is no excuse as to why I had to wait 4 ...
Hi Bash, I sent a fax on 10th July and I had a letter from them on 27th July (dated 20th July). I still can't understand why it took them 4 months to advise they didn't get my Biometrics but now I know what the deal is so I'm ok *for now*! ;) I just thought 'what do I have to lose' by faxing and I'm ...
I am in the same boat - why not fax them and ensure they have everything necessary to process your application? The best fax number is: 0151 213 2910. I did this and they advised me they were still waiting for my Biometrics (that I sent off on 30th March - whole other story!!) - so I believe someone ...
I believe you can call them and explain your situation; there is a number on the letter you receive to advise them if you can't get your Biometrics within 14 days of the date on the letter. I agree - you'll most likely be a father before you get your letter from UKBA! How exciting for you! :) Hi all ...
I seem to be the only one who's had an issue of UKBA losing my Biometrics - I'm sure you're fine! My life revolves around 'Sod's Law' s so I wasn't too surprised. :P Hey, Who ever applied around the 20th-26th February an FOI request came through on 30 July 2012 with official stats. http://www ...
Thanks, Dadageer...I'm all cried out now I think. Flippin' muppets, honestly. Week 21 and I'm still at the beginning. I wrote a letter of complaint (faxed and will be sending overnight delivery, recorded this afternoon) and I also faxed the ones waiting for the Biometrics - I sent a 21 page fax ...
Hi ya, Went to Romsey Post Office today and submitted my Biometrics the second time. I was hoping when they scanned the bar code from my second letter that my details would pop up but sadly nothing came up on their system. I explained my situation to the lady and she couldn't understand why UKBA ...
I'm trying to watch the ceremonies but my mind keeps wandering and stewing over the last 4 months just being - literally - a big waste of time. Oh well...onwards and upwards. Letcha know how I make out! Thanks again!!! @ UKWannabe Thanks for the advice. I'll fax and ring them on Monday again to make ...
Gala - just an idea - I faxed them 3 weeks ago and asked them to contact me as I was getting concerned that people who applied after me were getting their documents before me. I asked them to contact me if they needed additional information from me in order to complete my application. I'm sure ...
I'm going to be there @ 9am tomorrow to get my Biometrics taken again and then call them on Monday and update them. I think I'll fax them as well - good suggestion. I'm so mad at that Post Office - warning to everyone who uses that Post Office. Unfortunately, it's the only one that's close to me ...
I'm going crazy - I have every receipt/letter - everything but the freakin receipt they gave me for the Biometrics on 29th March. The only thing I have is the transaction on my Bank Statement when I paid with my Debit Card- would that be proof enough do you think??? Can you freakin' believe this ...
I am just so upset right now, you have absolutely no idea. I'm going to call them on Monday to see what I do but from what I gather I have to do them again. The letter states that because I didn't have it done within the 15 days of the original letter (from March) I now have 17 days to submit them ...
OK - I am just going to lose it in a big way.... I came home tonight and had a letter from UKBA advising me that they haven't received my Biometrics ..... which I submitted on 30th of MARCH! Can you believe this??? It's taken them almost 4 freakin' months for them to advise me that they haven't ...
Hello! Has anyone received any confirmation from UK Immigration when they received your Biometrics? The reason I ask, I applied on 1st March, had my Biometrics taken on 30th March. I'm a bit concerned because the machine broke down when they were taking my fingerprints. The man in the Romsey post ...
***Congrats Singapore Girl!!*** So happy for you - the long wait is finally over! Yipeeee!! I'm sure mine will come along some day soon...(still trying to keep positive!!) xo Hi guys Got my passport today by 2nd class recorded delivery. Timeline again: Applied for SET(M): 19 March Acknowledgement ...
*Yay!!* Congrats!! So happy for you, Heather! Thankfully the strike has been called off so hoping mine will come along someday soon! 21.5 weeks - it's driving me crazy!!
Well done you! It will be interesting to see what the Ombudsman does...keep us informed for sure! I'm 19.5 weeks now....can't be too much longer! ;) Hi guys I wrote a complaint letter because my application had been misappropriately handled. I applied on 14 Feb using SET(M) and got the application ...
