hi all,

Has anyone applied for any kind of FLR/SET recently? would you be able to tell me how long is it taking to get back the passports. The following link says that they are still processing July 2007 application but I am not sure how often they update this page.

I have applied for my sons(who was born here) visa on 14th Aug 2007 and not sure when I can expect the passports back. I am worried as we have travel plans in Sept 2007.

Can anyone pls help if you have the information?

Thanks in advance

It's taking 4-6 weeks for straight forward applications.

Mine was a SET(O) based on 5 years HSMP.

I just called them up. It looks like they have not yet touched my application. Its the 4th week and they have not touched the application.
They said it can take anywhere between 4 and 14 weeks.

Thats really bad.

I dont know if I can request them to process my application any faster. I dont have a genuine emergency but my wife and kid want to travel back with my mother inlaw whose visa expires on 27th Sept.

Looks like SET(O) applications are processed faster. Had you sent your applications to Croydon?

Durham is just the payment centre, Croydon is where they will do the case work.
