Thank you for your email sent earlier today.

After talking with you, my office called the UK Border Agency’s MPs’ Hotline to try and find out what was going on with your case and if there is anything we can do to help get things moving.

Unfortunately the news was not good – the UK Border Agency will still not give a timescale and worse still, your case is not currently with the caseworking unit and was last looked into way back in 02 April 2012.


I will do what I can to press them, and have written formally to them asking them to do everything they can to get things moving on your case. However, it seems very unlikely indeed that a decision will have been reached and your documents returned by the time you need to travel in July. It may be possible to withdraw your application, but this could make it very difficult to get back into the UK, and you should take legal advice about the possible impact before making any decision.

I will let you know as soon as I receive a formal response in writing. However, this is likely to be in 3-4 weeks’ time.

With best wishes,

Yours sincerely





Rt Hon Andrew Smith MP

Hey, could you please tell me your timelines ????
It would give some idea what they are processing and how much time they gonna take.

Thnx !!!

[mmqasim]

My timeline is:
Application sent : 12th March
Bio Metric submission: 10th april
And waiting for the approval

MP's letter was dated 26th of june. I think 2nd of april he mentioned in the letter is the date of biometric letter. UKBA was sleeping from 2nd of april to 26th of june(or may be 6th of july) .

Guys My MP told me in his first email dated 26th of June that my case is not with the case working unit yet. now in another email he told me my case is with the case working unit(as of 4th april) my biometrics submission date is 10th april.
I dont know he typed april instead of July or UKBA allocate the cases to case working unit after sending biometric invitation letter.

in Case my application is with the case worker from 4th of July then is it possible to get the decision in a week ?

Hello guys, Please answer!

Me and my wife applied for Tier1 PSW (Me- main applicant, She-dependant) on 3rd of April (Documents were received by UKBA by 4th of April) We got acknowledgement letter on 9th of May dated 3rd of May. We still have not received Biometrics letter. Is it normal? how long will it take? And also when we ask in Post office they say that postal orders have not been taken yet by UKBA (not been cashed)! Is this end of the world?

Thank You

Hi I have also applied on 3rd April and only received the ACk letter from the UKBA and still waiting for the Bio invitation....
Do anybody have applied on the same date and got the Bio invitation please share...

Hello Friend,
One of my friend also not received his PSW Acknowledgement letter and Biometrics Initially. After 30 days He send letter for UKBA with the help of Solicitor, Within a week he received directly Biometrics letter. I think Solicitor is charged 200 pounds.

Thanking you,

[toprealman]

Is there anybody that applied between 1-6th April 2012 that have been invited for biometrics?
The wait is becoming a bit unbearable. Any number to contact them to find out the status of one's application?

I have signed a contract with my employer. They are waiting for me from several days. Both me and the employer are getting fed up with the delay. I may lose my job because of UKBA. It is interesting that you pay £200 extra and they do it in 1 day (premium). This means this entire work is pretty easy. Really unfair!
