Date applied: 28/08/2012 Bio done : Nov 2012 Approval letter, passports and paper work returned on : 07/09/2013 Bio Metric card: Not received y...
I feel your pain bud. I am in the similar state here. I applied in Aug 2012 and had my Bio done in Nov. That's it, nothing since then. Complained many times to UKBA but no reply. Many requests to my MP but now reply. Wrote to Ombudsman but no reply. So in a nutshell I am stuck. Lets see. Application...

My timeline as follows: Application Date: 10th August 2012 Payment Taken: 11th August 2012 Acknowledgement Letter: 14th August 2012 Biometric Enrolment: 23...
Hi Please share it if you get it. I have been trying to get in touch with Ombudsman for a while. I have been on their website quite a lot of times and it says we must get a final answer from UKBA before contacting ombudsman. What can I do if they don't reply to letters or emails? I have been waiting...
I can understand your frustration buddy, I have been waiting since August and I completed 10 months. Have tried all possible things to chase my application but in vail. I have now lost all hopes and don't know what to do next! Hi Guys, I am really frustrated with the Home Office. It has been over 6 ...
Try this link buddy http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=114751 might find something useful there. I marked plus 6 months. Now got enquiry from my personnel department. Its 4th enquiry from them within 6 months. Anyone has draft letter to MP. I did make draft but confused whether it is g...
I applied on 28th Aug 2012. Very soon I will be completing my 1 year :) wait. Almost finished 10 months now and only 2 more months to go for a whole year :). I am exhausted now. Tried all sorts of things. Tried emailing and sending letters as well. I only got the standard response from them. Infact ...
Hi Memphis Here is it is mate: rob.Whiteman@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk I also copied in Theresa May and Mark Harper. Only Rob's office replied back and no reply from the other 2. Anyway I have kind of entered a frozen zone now. I really don't know what's happening and nothing really effects me anymore. I...
You are right, there are few lucky ones then few unlucky ones and then there is me who has been waiting since August last year. I think, with the way things are, I will be completing a year soon. Will keep you all posted. :) HI All, I observed only Set(o) application are taking really very very long...
Just thought I will share this with you guys. I sent an email last week to CEO of UKBA and other ministers complaining about the state of my application. I received a reply from the secretary of CEO, apologising for the delay and saying because they received more than anticipated applications in Jul...
Good effort collating the spreadsheet. Out of interest, am I the only one still waiting since August 2012? I can only see my application from August. May be UKBA have managed to complete 99.9% applications then. I will be finishing 9 months in a weeks time. Still waiting. Mixed emotions now, mostly ...
Thanks gmx. I haven't written to anyone yet but will be doing it this weekend. I think enough is enough, I just need a bloody decision now. I need to move on with my life just tired of this waiting. Thanks for all this. Will keep you posted. And don't forget the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombu...
There are odd examples in this forum every now and then, even today there is an approval from Feb 2013 application. Now that could just be a one off but I believe they have started to take it serious from 2013 onwards. May be they are not receiving many application. One other interesting thing is th...
Nice to see some action after a few dull days here. Its interesting to read these. I guess the heat is on but then on the other hand I don't see any improvement to the old cases. I think they have decided to start all over again from Jan 2013 and picked 2013 applications to do so. As a result you ca...
Not sure if you have received yours yet. Just to let you know that I have been waiting for 7 months and 4 days now. I call them every week to hear the same message. Frustrated to the core but there is nothing I can do. just waiting. Applied (SET(O) on = 28/08/2012 Bio done on 6th November VISA Statu...
Is there anyone, who applied around 22nd Aug still waiting for a response. I applied for a Set(O) on 22nd Aug 2012, with 3 dependents via the Tier 1 (General) route after 5 years . I am tired of waiting now - over 7 months now - and worried I may be alone. Love to hear from people in the same boat ...
I completed 7 months today :)) I have been regularly calling them but no use. I am stuck without knowing what to do now. I was suppose to be on holiday from tomorrow, which I booked 8 months ago, now thats all finished. I guess I will just have to wait it out :) I wrote to: UKBA Livsec1 PO Box 306 L...
Hi The number is 0870 606 7766. Its true that they have made all the possible efforts to ensure that you don't get through :). Their IVR menu never gives us the right option. I had to try many times myself to master the trick. Anyway you need to press 4 from the first set of options and then 2 on th...
6 months and 3 weeks still waiting. Called UKBA today again. A lady answered who wasn't particularly helpful. Answered the phone and asked what can she do for me. As soon as I mentioned about ILR time line her tone kind of changed and asked me straight away when did I apply, as if I have only applie...
Just received a phone call from my adviser that my application was finally approved. My application is SET (O) Work Permit 5 years Application made via legal adviser. Application sent off on 1/8/2012 Application received 3/8/2012 Acknowledgement Letter - NOT received (not by me nor adviser) Payment...
I called UKBA today (finished 6 months and 2 weeks). I tried since morning and they were just disconnecting the call till 4.00 p.m. I managed to get through to them at 4.20 after about 13 minutes wait to hear that the application is still under process and no decision has been made. Can't say by whe...
