Hi,

Thank you for the kind wishes. Yes I did call them a number of times. I called them on 23 Sept and they said that it has just then been assigned to a case worker. Infact I called once on 6th Oct and then on 9th Oct and they said that it is still under consideration. Then I called on 10th in the afternoon and the person that it has been dispatched. I had to wait till Monday to get the status.

As I said before in one of my posts, it is very difficult to work out their way of working.

Regards

OB40.
Thank you very much for the information OB40..
It clearly shows that there is no point in calling HO.

Thank you very much OB40 for your cooperation.

Today HO automated machine is saying "We are processing applications recieved on 29th September" :o , I don't think we wil work out how does it work, the best is wait and hope, Hopefully we will get some good news soon....

Grant1, Dont worry, you will be having good news soon as well InshaALLAH, all the best.

OB40 once again congratulation.

Hi ob40,

Many Congratulations.

Had just one question. Did they call your employer (if you had your payslips from the UK).

Once again congratulations.

All the best to rest .

Just called Home Office on the 0114 ***** number. They are processing applications before 19/September/2008!!!!!
It was 28/August just last week. Really confused about how they work.

Hi,

Many thanks, I dont know if they called or not. I may ask the HR later but I dont think they called otherwise I would have known as the HR probably was as keen for me to get the visa as I was.

Best Wishes

Many thanks for your prompt response

Waiting for the post and the last minute thrill.

Hope it is good news for you.

By the way, did you call 0114 **** number? then press 2, then press 1?
Every time after hearing the answer machine telling me the current processing date, it drops the line. Should I press 2 for general query?

Thank you guys. Let me also hope for some good news.

Yes i have called 0114******* number. Pressed 2 for Tier1 PBS and then pressed 2 for general enquiry and then pressed 1 for enquiry regarding HSMP Judicial Review. Though my application is not HSMP judicial review, managed to get the response from them.

Hi Sep01,

I called them yesterday around midday. The CR told me my documents have been posted. Although when I called earlier yesterday they told me my application was still under consideration and they could not give any specific time frame for it to be resolved.

So in short their systems seem to be a bit slow in terms of having current status.
