I'm not sure if that's in Liverpool

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...

Congrats MrDodge!

I observe that SET(M) is indeed usually quicker to process than the other routes.

SCS is only for SET(M), I believe

I think the 'spike' most probably is related to either one or both of these changes: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/newsarticles/2012/february/66-settlement http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/newsarticles/2012/june/13-family-migration Well, Mr Chief Executive himself alread...

Well, Mr Chief Executive himself already explained the reason why it's taking longer than the published service standard. I guess the manager is not trained to give standard answer. Please read starting from Q89 on page 77 of this document: http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201213/cmselect/...

Option 4, then option 2, best to call after 4pm... but expect to receive a standard reply similar to "Your application is in progress. We cannot give further details. Please continue to wait" There are ways that people in this forum have tried: writing to MP, UKBA Complaints, UKBA CEO, relevant Mini...

Sorry to hear about your wife's situation. I believe it's not only the system but the culture too. It's shown from the top level down to the bottom. We are only the victims all along.

No, that's for the next stage.

I sent it to UKBA complaints and Liverpool PEO

samriti2u wrote:Hi Gmx,

Did you send it to your MP and UKBA head?

I did mine last week I only partially blame UKBA. Has anyone made an official complaint? I am submitting a FOI request to see how many complaints UKBA received in last 365 days. The only way you can see changes if each individual submits a complaint if his or her case takes more than 4 weeks. Why do...

will we be able to catch this on 4oD? Watch out ! the programme broadcast on Channel 4 at 8:00pm on Monday of 15th April 2013.

I can't agree more. They keep increasing their fees and trying to get more money while at the same time I don't see much improvements in their service standards. You're paying our fees then? Use some common sense before posting. Every fortnightly changes with stupid effing excuses just to draw money...

I think you're right. The data must have been generated close to end of last year. But looking at the other reports, I still think only a minority of applications have got their decisions within 6 months. Of course not on 05/04 LOL. I assume the data was taken between two weeks and one month before ...

Of course not on 05/04 LOL. I assume the data was taken between two weeks and one month before the letter date. Why? Because I have gone through some other FoI requests where it states when the data in the report was generated. Look at: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/processing_time_for_ilr_...

please look at the Pending numbers in Table 1 , especially Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct. They are more than 6 months and form the majority who applied and are still waiting decisions The rest are indeed the lucky ones Hi did read your post, and I am still not certain if things are as bad as it seems.

I just called UKBA and was told that my application is still ongoing. He cannot explain what "ongoing" means and asked me just to wait.

hi Izno, I don't know geographical/direct number for Liverpool office. But you can search for "weq4u" using google etc, they have a service that enables us to call 08 numbers. I used it several times and it worked. for August applicants, you can refer to this thread http://www.immigrationboards.com/...

All the best samriti2u
