Another related question.... Once they have their additional documentation, how long do you think it would take to reach a decision?

Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure which Tier I was applied as. I was thinking that maybe it was taking 11 + weeks because they didn't have something they needed but didn't ask for it originally. It would probably make sense to just always send this reference information in with a first WP1 applica...

The WP1 application does not ask you to submit this kind of information. Only to fillout who the previous employeers are, time frames, and duties. Also, the employeer who submitted my application had a work permit expert review the application before submitting.

So the Home Office has had my work permit application for 11 weeks now, and just today sent a request to my employeer asking for more information: A copy of statements from past employers, on their business headed paper, to verify xxx's work experience. They must give the start and finish dates, the...

FYI - I have been waiting over 10 weeks now myself, and no communication of anything wrong with it (aka needing more documentation).

Well, maybe I got someone who was just overwhelmed and didn't want to talk to me, because I specifically asked if I could find out the "status" of my application (not decision). She said "We can not discuss the application with you". I'll just patiently wait a little longer I gue...

OK. I was just wondering how to find out about status and the one member told me I could call. oh well.

Actually, when I called they said I'm not aloud to call them and ask about it. Are others finding out their status other ways? BTW - I know the website just posted: There are currently some delays in the processing of work permit applications of up to 8 working days. Review requests are currently ta...

Can I contact the Home Office about my Work Permit? My "Employeer" who submitted my work permit over a month ago is on holiday for a long period of time, and I want to check my status. If I'm allowed to contact them, does anyone have an email address for the contact? THX

Definately let us know what happens. My employer send my application in 1 week ago and we haven't heard back yet. I've heard everything from 5 business days to 2 months.

I know generally how long a UK work permit can take, but I want to know if anybody has recently gone through the process, and how long it took.

Me, my hopeful future company:
submitted my work permit application July 18, 2007
Still pending

Thanks, but if I could write more I would. This was the most they were willing to supply. I need to know if this is enough.

I need to know if this would be enough to pass with a caseworker for one of my letters for previous work experience. This was printed on offical letterhead and signed, but I'm concerned it's not enough detail from reading some posting: "This letter is to confirm that xxxxxxxx work as a consulta...
