I think you've done / are going to do things that are sensible to me. I call only on weekly basis but on my last call on Monday, I was told off not to contact them every week but to just wait. That was even before the guy asked me for my details / reference number. I wouldn't mind waiting if they ar...

Everyone, There's an FoI request that has been answered regarding this. Surely we can all agree that almost all of the delayed decisions are not our faults?! FoI request: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/citizenship_residence_requiremen In general terms, we would expect to exercise this discre...

I guess the government itself (HO) has done the damage.

I can sympathise with the staff

Regarding the number of complaints they have received, you can read this one (up to Q3 2012): http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/aboutus/percentage-of-complaints/percentage-of-complaints.xls?view=Binary * The number of service complaints for first three Quarters of 2012 have alr...

At first, he asked me when I last called them. I said last week. Then straightaway his tone changed and he said what I wrote below, without asking my details. Maybe I should just keep quiet and twiddle my thumbs? I don't think they log our calls. I always withhold my number whenever calling them. ho...

Well, we're dealing with a "closed, secretive and defensive culture" organisation here. So, that makes sense. I just called them again today to be told off "Why do you keep on calling us every week? Please continue to wait" . That guy didn't even ask for my reference number. Thanks for confirming du...

That's the standard reply from their written script. This is the stats as of last month: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/154262/response/377487/attach/3/Response%2026931.pdf Hello friends, I am August applicant ( 09th ) , call ukba today , my case.." not yet completed."

I like the optimism :) Thanks for correction. We will see about that later. Since I'm still waiting for my overdue ILR, I hope there's indeed a progress even if it's hard to believe. I'm also waiting to see what numbers we have for Sep, Oct, and Nov. Jul & Aug Stats If you look at table 2 in our tru...

I salute you for your persistence. Press on! 1.Phone 08706 606 7766 2.Send an email/letter to your MP: Dear Sir, I made an application to the Home Office/UKBA on the 06/07/12 under the 14 year rule(illegal) before changes in the immigration laws.

Thanks TheGreenTea for sharing At the current rate, they would only decide less than 50% of applications within 6 months. Just received a response from UKBA regarding the amount of applications submitted in December. Specifically you asked: - 1. I would like to know how many postal SET (O) applicati...

Both of you have already made very good case. I wonder what else I can add. Important thing is to get it to the right person(s) who will READ it and TAKE ACTION upon it. Not sure if I 've shared this: http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201213/cmselect/cmhaff/uc924-i/uc924.pdf You can jump to...

Make sure to include Sarah Rapson, the interim Director Generals for UK Visas and Immigration (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-interim-directors-general-appointed) I'm planning to escalate my case to my MP within the next week or two. There are some others: Rob Whiteman : rob.Whiteman@homeoff...

I have lodged a formal complaint with UKBA now.

an example? As a matter of interest how do you know the 2013 applications are being processed sooner? 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 ...

Hi Gladg,

for December timeline, there's an existing thread that you can use

At least they're contacting you. wish you all the best Hi All applied for ILR SET (O) postal application on workpermit 5 year basis with 2 dependents Docs posted 21 feb 2013 docs delivered 22 feb 203 acknowledgement (printed date)- 2...

Hi samriti2u, Mine is not up until May next year. I believe senior members of this forum would be able to advise you. Sorry if I can't help you out on this. Hi Gmx, Cpf and Maliksaab, Can any one advise what will happen if a decision on ILR application is made after our existing leave as Tier-1 expi...

0870 606 7766 (option 4, then option 2)

I'm not sure if that's in Liverpool

Gladg wrote:Could anyone please provide me with the telephone number to contact the Home Office @Liverpool for ILR enquiry.

I need to know what is going on with my ILR application as I have not heard from them.

Hi samriti2u, I just made the call to them (no use, I know but I had one minute spare time to waste) and guess what? Same answer as given to you. 95% of applications are completed within 6 months and we have no guideline on the rest. Please continue to wait. Bye2. I don't have issues if they just te...

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-interim-directors-general-appointed Based on this latest news, please make sure you also send any complaint to the new interim Directors General for UK Visas and Immigration. That would be Sarah Rapson. I don't have her contact but guess it'd be @homeoffice.gsi...

So, that guy was implying that they have processed almost 95% of Oct applications so far.

Do we really believe this? We will see about that

samriti2u wrote:Hi Gmx,

The guy I spoke to said 95 % applications are processed within 6 months and for the rest 5% there is no deadline.

hi samriti2u, Thanks for update What is the "5% bracket"? If they said thousands of applications pending before ours can be looked into, why are there newer applications that have been processed & approved? Are those ALL life and death cases? I don't trust what they're saying. Just called UKBA and I...
