I sense lot of "love" for HO & royalmail..

thats really astonishing both approval were received after 9 days... why there is always so long bween approval and receive date... Surely they charge so much money cant they just stick a first class stamp insteas?... they are tight... I am sure they use franking service by royal mail 1st Class Let...

Brilliant & wise words!! Thanks p2kin.... T Another important point to remember is although majority of Oct applicant are processed (not all yet), there is again huge backlog from Nov, Dec & Jan applicants, which could be equivalent of Oct backlog, so as for case workers, nothing has changed, they'...

I sincerely support your explanation p2kin, but don't you think it's been exceptionally quiet wrt approvals. Are they really covering grounds as per approvals? That's the big question. Approvals are not getting reported at all. :| I take your point about it's being quiet.. I can only put some posit...

Why is it then that they debited the fees of the january applicants so fast? yet it takes months for the ocotober applicants to be even acknowledged? That is rather disheartening p2kin. I wonder why they be taking payments this early then if there is already a big back log. Sorry if you are disappo...

That is rather disheartening p2kin. I wonder why they be taking payments this early then if there is already a big back log.

Guys, I know these are testing/pressuring times... look at the end of Oct applicants who haven't had their fees deducted yet, what was their fault? they applied immediately after (in a day or two) new rules came into effect...? If something is happening with your application, consider yourself lucky...

Agree, however, i thought the OCT rush is cleared now, hence Jan payments are already being taken. It's not over... there are still many applicants in Oct who hasn't had their fees taken reported yet. Don't expect that if money is taken then you are on the way... Once money is taken & you are ackno...
