Update on club of May 17th applicants

I am still waiting since 17th May (5yrs work + 1yr ILR)

When I chased them, they replied saying that a decision has been made on July 24th and wait until August 24th to contact them

Still nothing and I contacted them again, they apologised that there has been technical issues which caused several weeks of delays...They are asking me to contact them again on Sept 24th...

I also called my local council (as they receive the certificates even before we get the invitation letters) but they don't have anything as well

Can we just buy them more printers?

Application date: 17 May

Date of Approval 02 September

I am still waiting and I am still giving you company

I have applied on 17th May 2013 through NCS.

Regards,
Robinson

Hi ,
Everyone .Today i have spoken to Home office Croydon ,They said
My application is not yet Allocated to case worker after 6 Months also.
My question is :
Without allocation will they decide the application or
Only Case worker will decide the outcome.
Secondly Why it is not allocated after 6 Months also.

Have any one had the same Response from HO .

They even dont know how long it will take for the application .
I have spoken to 08706067766 General no of Home office.

i am exactly in the same situation i also have spoken to croydon office as well and had the same response. I am going to write to my MP on monday and taking it through my MP. I would suggest try your MP. I submitted my application on 22/02/2013.

Is your nationality from high risk country ? Not all but a huge number of applicant faces severe delay for nothing and majority is from high risk country. But it doesn't mean everyone will face delay from high risk. But I think according to forum evida and base of guessing business that they maintained different que for nationality of high risk country. And there admin worker sometimes doesn't follow this que. But it is my personal thinking, so I am not sure aabout my thinking. But when I applied in may I saw person who applied in july and june or mid or end may got approval letter before me. And when I emailed HO after 2 and half months answer was a caseworker not yet allocated. But then I received approval within 10 days. I will strongly recommend please get in touch with your local MP.

Thanks Arjun

Congrats ukilrforman, I agree with you. I applied NCS via Hounslow and they charged 65 for it. I applied on 19th July and my application has not been forwarded to any case worker. Although I live in Reading but work near Hounslow, that the reason I opt for Hounslow.
Is there anyone in this forum who got his approval in a month time on applied via Hounslow?

Oh that is very good, congratulations. I am still waiting for my invitation letter and I phoned my local council yesterday to check in general whether they have received my certificate yet but they said me ...'sorry, they haven't received my certificate yet' And my Approval date was almost same time like you.

What is the date on your invitation letter ?

Thank you.

Much pleased today!!!

Application date: 17 May

Date of UKBA acknowledgment: 23 May

Date of Approval 02 September

Date of receipt of approval letter: 06 September

Date of Private ceremony booked: *14 September, normal appointment availability was 30 October as of today.

Hounslow council charges 200/ gbp for the private ceremony: I think it is probably one of highest in the UK.
