I find that coming to this thread doesn't make me feel better either so I'll just come back one a week or two to see if ppl in my batch have gotten theirs. Mine's Set O - applied 15th July.

Even withdrawing doesn't work as you are thinking. if read some older posts then u would know they even take weeks to withdraw ur application

Applied for SET (0) for myself and my son - UK Ancestry
Application rec'd 7th of Aug
Payment Taken 11th of Aug
Letter Rec'd and Dated 10th of Aug

Been waiting for 6 weeks now, so I suppose another 8 to go (mid Nov), I am a little worried however that some of your applications are taking longer and I hope it doesn't go over 14 weeks as I need to travel back to NZ in December for our wedding. I have also read that it takes 15 working days to get my passport back........so I hope it doesn't get to end nov and I have to withdraw my application because my visa expired on the 15th of Aug (uk ancestry) and I will not be able to come back into the UK once I come back from our wedding in NZ? Do you think come 14 weeks I can request there fax number and send through a request to hurry it up a bit, seeing I have to go back for my wedding?
Thanks

Thanks

Hi Everyone,
My son and I received our passports yesterday, stamped on the 3rd of Oct and delivered on the 7th of Oct......so waiting time was just over 8 weeks. So relieved....!!!! All the best everyone

I am completing 23 weeks and into 24th week since I applied for ILR Set(O). Its been damn frustrating as every time I call they come back with the same answer that its still being processed. I have now posted a letter to HOME OFFICE raising a concern regarding the delay as I noticed that some of them who applied later have already received their ILR. HOPE is the only word that I have in mind..........

Go to your local MP and ask him to write and status update letter to Home office hopefully u will get a reply with proper reason why it is getting delayed. Or they will give u a decission.

Hi

I just called them today as I was waiting for my application to have reached the 14 weeks waiting times and as of YESTERDAY 10 October they are no longer providing information on applications less than 6 months.

Application sent 5/07/11
Application received: 06/07/11
COnfirmation letter: 07/07/11
Payment taken: 07/07/11

STILL WAITING

Am very worried that they will now only process applications closer to 6 months and I need to travel to Australia for a wedding in November.

poppy913 · Post by **poppy913** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 1:52 pm

What a bunch robbers! What are they doing with the all that money they charge? They take forever to process the documents and now they won't even provide updates? Is there a place in their website we can provide feedback?

Yes i think best way to write them letter and copy your local MP Or explain whole situation to MP and ask him write a letter for status update. Only this way you will get immediate reply.

Please everyone do mention which office you received your acknowledgement letter. so everyone would know which centre is really processing slow.

My Application is sitting in Crydon.

Congrats Daniel. I thinks it's now a while that we got some cheering news with the set O applicatns particularly hit by this shameful waiting game, there are few set M applicants though that have been processed fairly quickly within 8-10 weeks, Congrats to you all.

My application is now exactly 14 weeks today and I'm now planning to call them probably by tomorrow. I just home all is well.

Hi
I have applied on
07/07/2011
payment received next day
Acknowleged on : 11/07/2011

Croydon office

Its real pain on waiting without any clue. These guys are real adament, they do have so much facility, they can update each stage , lazy buggers.

Patience and Hope are required now to all who are all waiting in queue.

I never apply by post in future.
