Thanks for your reply. I think I might have posted this question in the wrong thread. Let me better explain myself.

Guys, further good news. I got the refund back to my credit card automatically today. I say automatically, As I do not believe HO got the letter I sent yesterday afternoon has even reached them yet. So I am guessing it was due to the complaints email. I read the posts from other users and I complete...
I agree with what cyk has posted above. In my case escalation and complaints email is what I believe got the ball rolling. I just got my BRP delivered by DX at 7:46 am!!!!

Guys, I have read the last few posts and on one hand i do support the idea of us banding together and doing something about this mess, but on the other hand having read that HO has replied to one poster about the delays and that HO/UKVI is going to clearup all the backlogs by Jan2019. Knowing UKVI/H...

Thanks Badhodor for your prompt response. My query about number of pdfs is mainly because of the number of online bank statements that I plan to attach for myself and my wife, 3 different accounts for each. I have a letter from my bank confirming that the statements are authentic, which I believe s...
