Hi all,
We (myself and my other half) received the letter from UKBA on the 19th saying about the new rules and how we are impacted by them.
But today received our approval letters dated 19th and documents.
Applied Feb 1st as self employed IT Consultant.
Acknowledgment received - 16th Feb
Biometrics received - 27th Feb
Completed biometrics - 1st March
Received approval - March 21st
Also I applied after my PSW expired but within 28 days of my PSW expiring.
Thank you all for the knowledge share and more importantly, Thank GOD!

No we didn't submit any business insurance. Just the advertisement, webpages, and one Trading contract. We didn't submit the business plans.

Thanks. As on my £50000 & £900 statements my name is mentioned as A Ahemed but the address is same. U think this is acceptable as most banks issue statement with this format ?

In my opinion that should be fine.
Except anyone else thinks this is a problem.
