There really isn't any point in people contacting the HO to chase things when it has only been a few months. There was obviously a huge backlog of applications submitted before the change in rules hence things will move more slowly. Chasing when its clear you aren't any different to other people ju...

Yep we were fortunate. We had thought will be applying in the new rules but got a phone call from our NCS a day before stating that UKBA had decided to work an extra day and open on Saturday as they were overwhelmed with applications and wanted to get more people through the old system. So if your ...

Does anyone know how long it is currently taking from the time of application of BC with a NCS?

I think Nov (or possibly new rule) applicants should expect movement from 2nd week of Jan (13th onwanrds).. still 25th Oct going on..

That's great and good to see how busy it has been. Can you add December in as well, it doesn't seem like there have been many applications in that month (says the person impatiently waiting on a December application...) :roll: I guess people are waiting for fees to be taken before posting timeline....

There are applicants on 24th/25th Oct who's fees neither yet...

don't expect HomeOffice to start back work before 6th Jan.. just like other offices.. if they do, it's added bonus..

I guess now for next 2 weeks we wont see much (any?) activity related to payment taken...

6th Jan.. feels soooo long...
