Looking at the August thread, it is clear that the HO guys are really working at a good pace (as normal), clearing applications within 4-5 weeks time (from start to approval). No extraordinary postal delays etc.
My wife (spouse of British citizen) applied on July 16th via NCS and nothing so far (after the acknowledgement).
Maybe the July applications (around that printer issue time) have been lost or something at HO
A crazy thought... but i am thinking if we could withdraw her application and apply again (new fees etc.), so at least we can get in the September lot and get lucky (since that is how HO seems to be working these days – lottery style of picking applications)?
I know its a crazy thought, but could not resist thinking about it.. its really frustrating as to why it was not even allocated to a case worker
Brits don't jump the queue... but no idea why they (HO) are jumping queue on the allocation process!
