1. Type of application: Extending
2. Category : Tier 2 ICT extension with Family
3. Date of expiry of current leave (visa) : 25-Jan-2012
4. Date application posted : 15-Jan-12
5. Date Biometrics letter received : 3-Feb-2012
6. Date of Biometric appointment (earliest appointment available) : 20-Feb-2012 at Liverpool
7. Date BRP cards received : 29-Mar-2012
8. Date passports received : Still waiting on 31-Mar-12
I had my flight booked for family on 30th and had to cancel paying a heavy penalty.
Still waiting for passports to book my next flights.
This is in spite of the case officer acknowledging the receipt of a registered post explaining my situation on 19th March.

I dont think ukba gives out special attention anymore whatever your reasons are because if they do, they need to fast track everyone bcoz everyone has their personal reasons for fast track consideration. I even read on reviews that sometimes it causes more harm than good like they delay things out intentionally when someone wants fast tracking. This is the readin why I withrew my request on my MP. Its a risk i wont take. Even though i have a lot at stake if i dont get my brp and passports back soon
