Hi Friends

I am also a May 2006 applicant. My application reached there on 23 May. I got the ref number by phoning them on last Friday - 09 June. I am yet to receive the ref number through email although I requested them on phone as well to send it by email and they confirmed my email address also.

Out of curiosity, i now intend to send them email to check my ref. number and progress of application.

May I know what email address u r using to get progress?
Would appreciate a quick response.

regards,

QE

I have got back my docs by normal post. I did not ask for a courier pick up.

Yes they had arrived in the same folder that I had sent and all the documents were in good condition.

CONGRATS Summertime!!!

It is always good to read positive posts like yours above.

Do you know if they contacted your references. Did you ask to treat your application as an urgent one i.e. send the additional form needed. Just seesm they reviewed your application quick.

HI Rocio

I do not think they contacted any of my references. I phoned them on Friday 9 June to enquire about progress and was informed that they have not assigned it to a case worker yet.

I sent an email on tuesday (20 June) to enquire again and got and email back on the 21st to say that my documents were posted back to me on the 14 th of June. It was thus very quick since being assigned to a caseworker after the ninth (Friday) - thus possibly on the Monday or Tuesday - and the documents were sent back on the Wednesday. I did not ask for a quick review or anything. I do think my application made it as straightforward as possible for them to come to a conclusion.

good luck with yours

[quite eager]

Congrats Summertime on approval of ur application.

I have a few questions, would appreciate if u can reply;

Did they mention in the email that ur application has been approved?
I have learnt from the Board that usually they are reluctant in informing about approval or otherwise on phone or via email and just tell that a decision has been taken which is being sent by post.

What is ur profession? R u under 28 or over 28?

I believe u r from South Africa?


warm regards,

Quite Eager

[Summertime]

Dear Quite Eager

Herewith a copy of the wording of the email:

[[i]Dear Applicant

Summertime,

Even mine is same case, I called 9th June they said still not assigned to case worker and I called on 20th June they said decision has been made on 14th June and sent back documents already.
I tried to call number 0114 207 6020 to know the status, but either it will not connet or it will be always busy. I am trying to reach this number from past three days.
How fast were you able to connect this number.

Did you get your documents.

Thanks and Regards,

CC Charged: May 31, 2006
Passport Sent Back: June 1, 2006 (By Post)
Caseworker Assigned: June 14, 2006

I found out that a case worker had been assigned by calling them last Wednesday (June 21). As of tomorrow it will have been with a case worker for 2 weeks. I claimed the maximum points for work experience and included 9 seperate reference letters from employers dating back to 1999 and was thinking that that could be causing a delay, but as of today none of my references have been contacted. I'm a little concerned about what could be taking so long.

I'm an under 28, in country and presently employed.

I have received initial reference number confirmation mail just within a week from HO.

Senior members and members can you please confirm will it take so many days to receive the documents, please share your past experiance, so I can take necessary actions.

Waiting for all your quick response.

Thanking you in anticipation,

Hi,

Friends kindly have a look at my situation and suggest what should i do now. It has been a very long waiting period and I get same reply everytime. I heard of one of my friend who got his approval after 8 months of wait. I am shocked to learn such a long wait is possible.

If I can get some information on urgent treatment and its consequences it would be highly appreciated. (what reasons are acceptable for urgent treatment )

Thanks in advance,

Regards
