Oh still no post today. God where is my approval letter?

Surprise we did not see any approval letters arrived this Tue and Wed. I would thought HO may post some letters out last Friday.

We all just need to be more patient and our time will come.

I am still waiting. I applied on 11 March by NCS.

Nobody received any approvals today? lol still waiting. The first thing I do is to check my letter box!

I applied on 11 March and waiting. I have not called HO as I saw some messages here that HO does not offer consistent information about application.

Thanks very much. I am a second week applicant, and still waiting for the brown envelop! Hoping to get them by the end of next week or early. I think everyone in the second week if their application is straight forward should receive something this week. I called on friday and they said a decision ...

Thanks very much.

Just asked my NCS and they basically said I need to wait HO to get in touch with me. I applied on 11 March. Maybe I am a bit impatient.

It seems that HO slows down a bit now. How about your application? Any news?

I am a bit worried about English language requirements. I passed life in the UK test and attached certificate. I attached the uk university degree certificate. Is it going to be OK? I did not explain anything, and I have used them for my points when I get my work permit. I have seen other people use...

thanks for man4uni!!

I am one of you and waiting for my letters. I can see some people are before me still waiting as well. But who knows. Now it is a bank holiday and it may delay the process time a bit.

I am sure HO will not during the holidays. Really expecting the postman by Tuesday! lol

I am delighted to see some March approvals and it brings some lights to my application. I applied on 11 March 2014. I am not sure how HO allocate applications and hope they can be more transparent in the near future. Maybe provide tracking in application stage, just such a huge amount application fe...

I am so glad to see March application started to receive approvals now. I applied on 11 March, and 17 March fee taken. I can some lights through the tunnel now.

thanks very much. Such a relief. otherwise I have to find another person.

my referee's passport will expire at the end of March. I plan to submit my application in 11 March. Is it ok?

My NC appointment is 11 March 2014. I am checking Feb applications, and hope this fast speed will continue next month. HO has been really fast this month. Yeah, Oct 2013 was a disaster. It took so long.
