Eligibility criteria: 10 yrs + 1 Year ILR, UK Master's Degree,
Method of application: NCS Walthamstow
Date of receipt by UKVI: 03/04/2015
Date of debit of fees: 07/04/2015
Date of receipt of acknowledgement: 07/04/2015 On letter, Received 10/04/2015
Date of receipt of approval: 13/04/2015 on letter, Received 17/04/2015
Date of Ceremony: Awaiting

not only did the UKBA receive your application on a bank holiday (3rd April), when postmen don't even deliver, they also debited your fees on the next working day. Your application must have been prioritised ahead of all those other applications that hadn't even debited their fees, that were posted weeks before yours

Call me skeptical but this is a load of 419, don't believe everything thats written online people
very well pointed out. Some people just like to make other people worried. Ho works on weekends ut definately not during bank holidays.

does Home Office really work on weekends?

What rubbish and demoralizing words, if you think you can degrade the people's mentality you failed my friend, there is people who are more educated and more longsighted than you, I am one of those people who was waiting over the six months and I got my approval recently, but I don't like to see such a naive posts like this guy claiming his case has been approved within days, tell lie my friend but you failed to tell a lie which lookalike a truth what an idiot

Ombudsman will not take your complain straight away rather than they accept complains only coming form MP's so any one who wants to complain to Ombudsman regarding UKVi need to go through their MP's.
