Just a quick final update. After several phone calls to the local council (who were thankfully very accommodating and understanding), we were able to book a private ceremony on the last day that we will be in this county, as the HO delays have meant that he got his approval barely two weeks before w...

Thanks for injecting that bit of humour... made me laugh out loud. I certainly haven't felt like laughing about this in months, and I totally feel your pain. I hope you get your letter soon x

same thing happened to me 2months after submitting my application I was anxious and rang them up, I had a hunch that I did not submit everything (which was actually the case) the customer service agent that day was kind and told me that I need to submit my original certificate too, I asked why did ...

Finally some movement on my husband's application, nearly seven months in (applied 9th of June) and following a letter to our MP and a letter to the Home Office after it passed the six-month mark with no word... Received a letter this morning requesting his original degree certificate and a printout...

One week to go until we hit the six-month mark, and so I have just sent a letter to my MP. I used the opportunity not only to chase my husband's application, but also to highlight the shortcomings of the entire application process, and the fact that earlier applications (particularly May, June and J...

Still waiting - husband applied on the 9th. The six-month deadline is looming, and the wait is killing us. Nothing else for it, I guess - and phoning the HO is beyond pointless

Starting to think a Home Office mailroom employee spilled tea all over the mailbag that arrived on the 10th of June... still waiting

Will keep you updated though, and congrats to those that have their approvals.

Thanks for the updated sheet, Arvind, and congratulations to all those who have received their approvals. Sad to say we still haven't received my husband's approval, but I remain hopeful that it will arrive any day now. Just dissapointing seeing approvals for applications made after his, but I guess...

Arvind, thank you so much for the updated spreadsheet again, and congratulations to all those who have had their approval letters thus far. I'm still checking this forum every day, practically assaulting the postman every morning, and waiting with bated breath for my husband's approval. Will update ...

Hi Arvind Thank you so much for your efforts in creating the tracking information spreadsheet. Could you please add my husband's details as well: Eligibility criteria: 6 years HM Armed Forces (exempt from immigration control) Language criteria met: UK NARIC language assessment of overseas degree + L...

I have been following this thread with interest, as my husband applied in June. I'm adding his details now since we're also still waiting.
