Anyone still waiting from February or before?

Dear Friends

Please leave a note here and keep it updated if you are still waiting from February or before then.
You can copy and paste your timeline here if you want,I will do it first.
I thought we can share our experiences.
It is really difficult to find the timelines, even if we find them we still do not know if the incomplete ones are still waiting or have not been bothered to update it.
Also please tell me and others if you have received an approval and was told by UKBA later, that the approval letter has been sent by error, this happened to me and one other guy!!

Thanks and good luck to all still waiting.

I applied through NCS on 6th March at Leicester but did not received anything, even no acknowledgement letter.

I tracked on DX secure's website and it showed my application was received on 7th March. I also checked my bank account, money has been deducted on 15th so I believed my application is with HO at the moment.

But it's been a month, does anybody knows why?

Hi mate, did they actually tell you that after you emailed them? Because in pervious posts you mentioned that you were having a hard time contacting them. Then you sent them an email. If the replied by email how long did it take?

Yes, they told me that after I emailed them and was waiting for 5 days for their reply. I was very confused and worried cos I didn't know where I was standing! Now at least I know I should be waiting for their reply. I don't know whether they changed their mind or it was reslly a mistake cos my certificate was posted to the local council and then was sent back to the ukba as they requested. Or maybe an officer has made a mistake! I try to think positive cos if it was a refusal they would have told me straight away.
I have to wait and see what will happen.
Good luck to all
