No Idea to be honest, they must deal quicker with applications. I sent all the docs I could, 12 month payslips, P60, 12 month bank statements, all my diplomas, wrote a nice cover letter detailing the documents attached and the points I am claiming.

One thing that I wanted to stress is the fact that I spoke three times this week to the HO and they were very very nice and helpful. The first time to tell me my application was completed, the second to ask them about the outcome (whcih they told me over the phone); and lastly to ask them when they ll send my docs back

Cheers
Mi

Many Apologies for the mistake, I did apply on the 22 of Sep

congrats everyone for getting the visas!

hahah Madahi11 i was waiting for your post all day to see if you got yours as I thought we applied at the same time (16 Sept) Nonetheless, congrats!

Madihi11.

I note in your good news posting you received the visa stamped docs on 18 October 2008 and I assume you are not based in the UK.Please clarify because it appears that applications lodged at BHC offices in some countries are being processed quicker than in the UK.

Hi,
I applied on 8 th August WP to Tier 1
My UT was also accepted.
About 4 weeks back one gentleman from cc told me the application has moved to CW s Manager, and I should get back result within a weeks time.

But 4 weeks passed no news......I was forced to postpone joining date with new employer.

If it doesnot come within one weeks, I will loose the offer.

Any suggestion what can be done now

Reference letter dated : 26-08-2008

HO response till yesterday : Still under consoderation


HO neither called my employers nor my University. Actually i had worked for 3 employers during the 12 months period for which i have claimed points for my earnings. So i have submited payslips from three different employers, and bank statements from two different banks....etc etc

HO didn't bother to call none of my employers..

All the best for those still waiting for their results.
Hope you all end up with some good news.

Payment Deducted on 19th Sept 2008
Ack. Received on 22nd Sept 2008
Rest - Its a waiting game.

Hello everyone,

Finally its my day. I was waiting for this day for sooooo long, didnt know when it will come.

After a long wait i got my Tier-1 approved.

Applied - 10/06
Reference- 12/06
Approved and stamped - 10/10 ( YES Exactly after full 4 months )
Docs recieved - 16/10
No UT sent

This 4months period was soo stressful, words cant explain. I am very happy as i got it in the end. THANK YOU Home Office. Thank you very much. This forum is brilliant and helped me a lot to keep my anxiety level down by putting my posts here. I was always OPtimistic right from the start and had deep faith in god that this will definately work.


I kept calling HO during this 4 months period from time to time and answer was always the same "under consideration" but in the end i didnt call them at all for the last 1 month because i was getting quite frustrated with the same answer all the time (still under consideration). then finally after waiting for whole month i called them on 15th and to my surprise the CC told me it has been approved and posted to me.

Guys just keep the faith and pray to god, it will be all good. I will be here to help you guys with whatever little i know.


Kind Regards

Grant
