Thanks for the reply Vinny!!

I never heard of "SAR File" so I will give it a good read. Will this SAR document show the dates etc I entered in UK & what passport I hold?? What sort of personal information does the file show??

Any advice guys??

It will be much appreciated!! Many Thanks!!

Apologies, if this been mention before but I went through many posts but did not find an answer so decided to create a new topic. I am planning to apply for ILR in October under 10 years Long Residence category. I first came to UK (Scotland) on Feb 1999 on diplomatic visa as my dad was a diplomat. A...

I am switching from WP to Tier 1. It is really weird that they processed with many applications in the same time. Jay4you, what would like to know is what are the next steps following the completion of my application? did they tell you would be receiving in a couple of days? For me, it is end of ne...

Just Spoke to HO & been told that a decision is been made on my application & it's been sent back to me this afternoon and I should receive it in next 2-3 days. Judging by the last few posts, it seems that many applications were posted out at the same time? Next couple of days will be hellish :( Let...

Now I am totally confuse, do I believe them that my case is infect with a Case Worker or they are telling us “it’s with a case workerâ€

Just phoned HO and spoke to an advisor to check for any updates on my application and as usual he said “Under Considerationâ€

Hi itguy_uk, I fully understand your frustration as I am on a same boat as you. HO mentioned on 22-09-2008 that they have passed my documents to case worker and I have still not received anything back. I would like to believe that my case is very straight forward as all my documents are from UK. I h...

Dnt even try to understand the HO working pattern, there are people on this site and trackitt.com who have been waiting since may-june and people who applied in SEPT are getting there docs back..... :?: Only god can help, who are left on HO's mercy! Nail meets the head!! Spot on mate!! No point try...

Hi OB40, Yes, my application is for Tier 1 General (inital entry)! Regards Jay And I trust that your application is a tier 1 and not a JR application. JR applications have a different timeline. Apologies but there are a lot of paranoid people here (including myself :) ) and the Home Office's way of ...

Go Figure!! :? Now, I am not complaining, if indeed my application is with a Case Worker but all this is very ...

Hi All, Just phoned Head office!! The women on phone said that my case is currently with a case worker. Now I applied for "Tier 1" on September 5 and as mentioned above, answering machine still says 27th August?? Go figure!! :?

Thanks Laskk for your advise! I fully agree that sending a covering letter with your application will do no harm. It will be great if any members who have already got their Tier 1 (general) application approved can share their Covering letter here or in "Cover letter" post above. I am sure this will...

Hi All, I am new to the form and hoping to apply for Tier 1 (General) visa from UK at the start of September. I am just wondering the form members who have already received their extension approval for Tier 1 (General), do you guys had to write any cover letters as we used to do with old HSMP format...

Hi All, I am new to the form but a quick glance through the topic tells me that response time for the application varies a lot. I am going to send my application at start of September from UK, as I am waiting for my August Payslip, but my current visa (Fresh Talent in Scotland scheme) runs out in mi...
