Tier 1 visa stamped : postdated from Sep'10

Thanks to all for providing valuable info here. I have one quick question below:

Though I mentioned details of my dependants ( but applied alone), my visa shows no details of dependants info. Is this expected ?

[rajivferroin]

Ur visa will not have anything mentioned about dependents, once your dependants have the visa it will only be mentioned dependent in their case.

Thanks for the info...
I was little worried as stamped visa shows ...
No of dependants as '0' (zero) & there are 4 empty rows for dependants.
As we din't apply for dependants, this info is empty in our case ?

Hi. I applied for Tier1 Visa from UK on 28th January 2010 and got refernce number but still wiating for the decision. It now more then 5 months have passed. And this long wait sucks me. I phoned up to UKBA last month and they said the application is still outstanding so wait but did not tell the waiting time duration. Does anybody know what to do? Who to make contact with? Its really too annoying now. Why they are not taking decision? Whats wrong with them..My all original documents are with them including passport. I do not know what to do? Any suggestions? Thanks.

[sardarjee]

hellow every body
indeed ican see its a vibrant community and apreciate the social services being provided.
i applied for dependant visa for workpermit arrangements.
would like to know about the mess up,
while submitting my docs at vfs, forgot to submit our weddig photographs(got married just a year ago), and even vfs official neva bothered to ask me for, infact he made me confuse in regard of my passport photos which i had to do again there at vfs.

i would really appreciate a response from community to let me know that where do i stand, what r the chances of application? successful or ....?

application made on june 23,2010
submitted to bhc on 23/06/10
application underprocess on 08/07/10


would really appreciate a quick response as i m feeling low..

cheers
