Congratulations to all.. Hope all March applicants have received their letters from HO...

Congrats to all who got approvals... Finally there is some action in March timeline.

I hope the other who are waiting would get theirs soon.

Thanks Zaid.

Thanks Rana and wparacha.

One thing I missed mentioning is that I email my MP last week with my case details. Not sure if this made any difference as the approval letter is dated 29/Sept.

Hi guys, Alhamdullah!. Finally my turn has come... Got my approval letter along with my wife's and daughter's. But to be honest, the excitement has worn out due to the stress and anxiety over the past few months. I was very worried that my case was delayed due to self-employment status... Then I tho...

If you are not the person then you just need to prove it. I am sure you should be fine.

That is what concerns me the most... so until the policy is updated the application will be put on hold??.. This is unfair!

I have got the same letter yesterday. so frustrating. I have applied on 30th of March through NCS from Islington and money taken on 16th April. Got my notification/Acknowledgement letter by email on 17th and also they posted same acknowledgement letter probably on 22nd of April but it was dated 16t...

Well well well, there's another twist in the long wait as it continues past 6months. Have just gone over 6 months and today I received a letter saying it wasn't possible for us to decide ur application in standard 6 months and they have given another time limit of 3 months in which to decide the ap...

Looks like we are the forgotten lot... Tried calling HO but they say it is still within their standard timeline.. They count 6 months from the date on the ack letter.

Anyone still waiting? Or is it just me?

Count me in... Applied 30/March

I applied 30 March and HO received it on 1st April and no response after the ack letter.

I am self employed and I guess that is what takes such long times.. God knows how long HO would take to make a decision.

I think self employed applications are delayed. I am one of them. Lets see what happens.

You got company.. I am also waiting..

Congratulations guys...

Thanks guys. It is nearly 6 months from date of application. I think I may have to call them or write a letter..
I can't believe I "bought" this stress on me!

ok thank you, was that 5 months and two weeks from submitting it or from receiving acknowledgement? I also would like to know what HO refers as 6 months processing time. Is it from the date of application or the date of acknowledgement letter? I assume it is the date of application as I have seen m...

ALHAMDULILLAH ... ALHAMDULILLAH....ALHAMDULILLAH I RECIEVED MY DOCS AND APPROVAL LETTER THIS MORNING BANG ON 7:30.. :) :D AS I ALREADY CHECKED LAST NIGHT THAT MY PARCEL ON ITS WAY... :) :D My time line is: :D Eligibility Criteria: 10 Yrs + ILR Language Criteria: Life in the UK & UK Post Graduat...

Congrats Nash... Good to see some activity..

Anyone else got news??

Noting yet.. In Sha Allah I hope we get the approvals by this month...

I think the tail enders in March are forgotten... I am getting mentally prepared to call HO after 6 months.

I have almost lost all hope on that brown letter.. I think I may have to accept it and plan for the next steps (??? - Really Donno what to do!) I applied on 30/March with my Wife and 1 kid. Either HO is taking their time to process family applicants or there is sometime not right with my application...

I know a friend who used Gloucester council for his NCS but had his ceremony at Reading council. This was a good 3 years before.
