Unfortunately, by calling the call center number you'll get absolutely nothing useful. The only thing they'll say is that your application still under consideration. I am afraid only the case worker would know what's going on.

I am sure for you not, but for many people who are waiting since March-April-May-June this is very useful.

This is not just about call centre - they are useless (in my opinion)

Has anyone wrote to HO before? Would they reply soon or will they take up to 6 months to respond?

[businessmen aces]

HO never bothers to reply i wrote them 2 letters on 15th sept and 21st sept to know the status since i applied on 29th June but nobody bothers to reply. HO still operates with 18th century set up they are the worst public department you can ever imagine anywhere in the world. I have started to wonder how qualified is case workers who can't decide visa application for 4 to 6 months they don't understand how will people run there business if they are unable to travel for 4 to 6 months its like a hostage situation i am already regretting why i choose uk have invested more than 500 K and work 14 to 16 hours a day employ 4-5 people now but still HO can't decide if its a genuine business or not surely they don't have the required qualification for the job

Yea, you've tried and I can understand your frustration. Please be patient. Not hearing from them means they are considering your application. No news yet is good news! be patient you'll smile very soon

Same here. Wow just the two of us, we have invested more than 1M pounds in the country and provided work/income to 10 families. Imagine how much money brought into the uk and how many families supported by a million migrant??? Yes you'd think they would make our experience a little bit more comfortable to encourage more investors/entrepreneurs to come to the uk! Something is very wrong here.

Very optimistic and comforting words there itk. Thanks for that. I am still wondering, though, if the extremely long delays (over 6 months in my case) to reach a decision was because our files/documents still siting dormant in a cabinet drawer somewhere at HO because our turn has not come yet, or was it because the case worker is taking his/her time to read and examine our application one page per day??? One would think it would only need a couple of days or at most a couple of weeks to phone our banks, our accountants, HMRC, Companies House etc to confirm if the submitted documents are legal and legitimate!!!

Today we Received letter from Home Office dated 13th October 2016 that they require us to attend interview in connection of our Visa application. Interview date is 25th October. I have one question we applied as a entrepreneur team me and my dad we both got interview letters for same date and time will both of us be interviewed together or separately. Our interview is in battlesea building harrow will it be Skype interview or face to face interview how long will it last.

I think its good to be interview now we can get some idea what is going on why its taking so long.It took them more than 16 weeks to decide if they want us to invite for interview or not is this normal i thought this could have been done much earlier.
I feel it was better if home office starts sending its team to client site and they can show them what they do and what is the set up this will help reduce wastage of time in so much paperwork ..))
