I think most people from May June July etc..2014 have received their approvals . The thread on this forum are now too slow. Remember those of us waiting come to this forum to seek peace of mind and reassurance. So it would be of great help if you share your experience. Been waiting 10 months now. Can't even think of calling to chase anything up as I received the 3 to 6 month letter wait and a further letter asking for my original documents. Good luck to everyone

Has anyone from July been asked to send original documents after the February 6th 3 to 6 months wait letter. I received a letter asking for my original travel documents 3 weeks ago. Sent with a self addressed envelope and haven't heard anything.. Good luck to everyone waiting especially April to august 2014 cases. .

Dont worry mykarl123, its normal, Hopefully you will get your documents back with approval letter.
You just keep tracking your envelope online from post office website, i am sure you sent a special delivery envelope.
as soon as HO post it back, you will know it.
Good Luck

Hi They asked me to send my original document.
Initially they were asking me to send my orginal passport
and again I received a letter stating it they need my original documents.

Why you worry too much? you should feel lucky that atleast they working on your application. just send them what ever they asking.
keep in mind you are lucky than me, I am waiting since 17th Dec 14, nothing happening with me.
I hope you will get your approval very soon.
