Interested members can post their Tier 1 (General) FLR (extension) application timeslines here for the benefit of others. This will reduce clutter on the database too so you will be doing a good cause.

Please do not forget to include the following details in your post:
1. Current vignette: TIER 1

4. Date application posted:14 JUNE 2012

Do not make more than one post in the topic. If writing initial post before a decision / passport is received (i.e.- giving details of points 1 to 5 only), please edit the original post to update - do not create a new post for every update. This will help members looking for approx. timeslines to figure out end-to-end processing time of a given application(s) at one place itself.
Remember the page number of this topic that you are making your post in .. or .. use the search function to find your post in this topic.

Please refrain from chattering in this topic. To keep it high-value, please just read it and only post when you have an update to provide (timelines only).
Queries, pleasantries, off-topic posts, duplicate posts, multiple posts relating to the same application, request for updates, posts enquiring about current timelines, etc. are not be posted, will be deleted without notice, and members posting irrelevant posts in this topic that require moderators to waste their time in cleaning up the topic may have their access restricted.

We thank you for your understanding.

Finally the approval received...
They asked me for additional documents which got everything delayed for couple of week... Even though i had provided 3 proofs (slip,statement & P60), they were querying that e-slips are not enough...

Also they were not considering the date of posting the documents as application date but the date the documents got their internal case reference... it means .. 24th June was not the date of application but 07th July ? when they first logged my application... so my statement to end of may was not enough for maintenance?????

Kind of funny questions to keep me worried for couple of weeks.. but happy to get it approved... now waiting to check how long it was approved for?????????
