@cov...lol its an individual thingy...I only called to get some update because others have been receiving approvals and i dont see any harm to request for some update.
you may choose to wait longer....but its a personal decision to call or not to..i dont think there is any harm if you do

yeah same as well last week....no letter planned to be sent out...well i guess we will all have to sit and wait for the famous/infamous brown envelop as some may call it... :D but if you read previous post, some of this delays may be attributed to 3rd party checks..which normally takes the HO a long...

@amjadboby
I called the 03001232253...choose the more than 6months option...and they will give you an update...i tend to do that every 2days ..

updates doesnt have to be approvals..does it..now this is mine....

called them this morning, still the same story...application still ongoing... ...I wonder when its going to be something more positive like the famous brown envelop...

@akhurshid Personally I think that is what is going on, like I explained above. It's a yes and no thingy. If you answer yes…then more checks by a 3rd party outfit It was the same when I did my ILR (same day service) Glasgow. The CW showed me my approval letter saying my ILR has been granted but he w...

i dont think you have a worry there, however i guess the delay is that they carry out checks via 3rd party to confirm if one is clear especially if you declared you had a conviction wether spent or unspent. In my own case it it spent. i guess it takes a longer period of time for these checks to come...

@cmpic In my case...i had a driving conviction...which was cleared in 2012...I got my ILR based on spent driving conviction...I also checked my PCN and disclosure scotland (all clear of any conviction) and attached copies of these certificates just like i did during my ILR application. To me that is...

tbh i wouldnt wait 21/2 weeks fr ceremony unless there is no private set-up available. After all this process I will want to have it closed out asap. its just depressing thinking about when the journey started prior to ILR. mate tbh i will go for a provate ceremony if the bucks is there. afterall i ...

sweet...

Keep the positive spirit legit2011 and it will sure come to pass ...they are ony carrying out additional checks to justify the 906 kichinnnnnn!.

Yea...used your method...lady said no correspondence or letter has been sent out as per the records on my system just yet...
At least I wouldnt expect any approval letter just yet:(

@thghid. I think this is a new thing, just spoke with them just now and same process.. questions.... HO - have you received your acknowledgement letter Me - yes HO - has the 906 pounds been taken from your account Me - yes HO....that means your application is being considere and we cant check on the...

what if i called them?? are they going to tell me if it is approved or not? i mean everyone call them receive the same feedback, "processing" :( is that true or not? It seems am the only one yet to receive his approval.... :shock: Anyway its friday tomorrow, wouldnt let this wear me off.....

"volly.. are you meaning 3rd december 2014?? or 3rd december 2015 for your ceremony? personally after waiting all this while I will want to get everything done asap...infact the following day will be too far to close out the passport process. But i am sure others may want to take a 'gap year' :...

It seems am the only one yet to receive his approval....

Anyway its friday tomorrow, wouldnt let this wear me off.....am sure mine is in a traffic of mails at the post office lol...have to keep the positive spirit up...lol

Perfect...Am sure it will arrive soon though but its just the waiting game or not knowing when...same here I call the missus...once a day though..:) but I think I will increase the calling rate to twice a day...:) just to beat other's record... Yea no worries..its quite encouraging to see alot of se...

@ akhurshid Thanks for that...Its just a crazy feeling, soemtiem i cant help but be amused at what humans have been subject to waiting for either decisions or updates on the appluication. Its carzy, its mental torture of the highest order...I have never looked out for mails in the pst like the way i...

For the september batch of those who have received approvals, can you please confirm what form of envelope these approval letters come in please. Just to know what to look out for...anxiety creeping in ...Have'nt received my approval yet

@akhurshid I was using maximus and yourself as a yardstick to judge when I will receive my approval :)...ouch this hurts lol...congrats mate and good work on the spreadsheet...This means that mine is just around the corner infact less than the 2-3days time I gave myself earlier today lol... If you h...

@akhurshid

Perfect, thanks mate..at least something to raise the adrenaline for the day and going forward. I see you are just beneath me and maximus two place above me...so i will receive my approval in 2-3days...simple logic.......I wish it works that way...TGIF......

@akhurshid...I think it may be worth updating the september spreadsheet just to give us who have'nt received approvals yet a wall to see through :wink: Its amazing those of us who applied at the beginning of september have not received approvals yet..lol...I can feel your anxiety..just like mine bui...
