Yes, I mean my solicitor. I had submitted my biometrics in Manchester on Sat, 1 Dec. It was for a change in employer.

[9127]

I just got the email forwarded by my solicitor. It didn't have any signature and didn't appear to be a standard response. Might be due to the follow-up by my solicitor.

Ah very lucky. I applied in croydon on the 24th also have a solicitor but have not heard back. Today my solicitor emailed the case work team to find out .... I’m also trying to change employer.

Did your solicitor or you had to email call or do anything to chase this up ?

Yes, indeed. I was myself getting very nervous, but I hope this shows that they are making some progress and hope others get a decision soon as well. I am not entirely sure as they just forwarded the email to me.

Not yet from me. I also did the biometrics on the 1st. I know it could be anecdotal but it seems SET (O) under Tier 2 route is particularly slow.

[badhodor]

Nothing for me either. Set O from tier 2. Appointment on 1st December @ Croydon.

Still waiting......

Hi Guys,

i have attended my biometrics on 26th and have not heard anything since then.

Thanks

Hi venk, any update

Hi Sunny

Nope,fingers crossed.

Thanks.

@ Venk, Sunnysakhi , any update for you guys?

[norty109]

Could be a chance that applications on Saturday are going to backlog? UKVI works 5 days and UKVCAS 6 days so if Monday UKVI is clearing Friday, then Tuesday they will clear Monday first to meet deadline logically? Not sure how it works bit there is a disparity between application received days and application processing days isn't it.

[mail9]

anybody who has got it escalated twice and havent heard?
i thought on escalation the case worker will look into the application!

[badhodor]

Got this email today @9:35 am. Don't know what to do now.

My best guess is staff at Premium Offices (PO) will now do the Super Priority Service and so applications from 57 centers will be allocated to each PO, and then to each caseworker. This causes the disparity in timing because it depends on how quick each caseworker/PO does their job. If individual caseworkers had had access to centrally managed system then it would have been on first come first serve basis for all.

When I contacted UKVI helpline, I got this message about 30 minutes after the call. But few minutes after that, I got email from caseworker. So, it is kind of standard email but it means your application has not been touched yet.

Got this email today @9:35 am. Don't know what to do now.

What did the caseworker say in the email 30 mins later? was it with the decision?

[badhodor]

Sorry, I just read your story on the forum "ilovebeatles".

It''s been an hour since that email and I haven't received anything from caseworker or anyone for that matter. Do you reckon I should call them again and ask how is this within service standards?
