What the f**k is UKBA doing?

Post by CodeCruiser » Thu Feb 07, 2013 8:19 pm

My biometric was done on 10 September and I am still waiting. There are loads of people on trackitt.com who submitted biometrics in January (as late as 25th Jan!!!) and have received their approvals without expiation. What the heck is this bunch of morons (UKBA) doing?

you may care to put this directly to UKBA, in the same language :D if you think it will help your case. I think not. Patience my friend though I understand your frustration.

I have been patient until now but what frustrates me more is the fact and applicants are now getting their approvals within few weeks.

That's the point. Its not odd few cases. It seems to be the trend in past few days/week. Looks like more people have been put on processing new applications than on backlog and the claim by UKBA that they process application in the order that these are received is a big lie.
