hi ashcarv.. how many sign u need for the petition?? There's not a definite number, but I think it would be more effective with at least 500 people. I'm not going to send it until early next week anyway, because if I send it over the weekend there won't be anyone in office to read it, presumably. S...

Hey guys, I've created a petition directed towards Theresa May, Damian Green, and other immigration officials and UKBA executives and directors, demanding transparency, efficiency, and speed in processing our visa applications. I'm sick and tired of being treated this way, and I'm sure you all are t...
Hey guys, I'm sorry this is off-topic, but I've created a petition directed towards Theresa May, Damian Green, and other immigration officials and UKBA executives and directors, demanding transparency, efficiency, and speed in processing our visa applications. I'm sick and tired of being treated thi...
a friend got his documents back today. He gave his biometrics on 13 april. Another friend gave his biometric on 2nd april but hasn't got anything back. I cannot understand why the UKBA are processing things so hideously out of order. I gave my biometrics on 2 April and I have yet to hear anything f...
Also, has anyone who gave their biometrics on or after 2 April received their visa yet? I'm still waiting.. I know I should be patient but it's driving me absolutely crazy!
Hi everyone Just got my documents back. Bro done on the 27th at holborn post office. Waiting for bro now. All the best Yawar Ali - can you specify when you gave your biometrics? The 27th of March or April? Congratulations on getting your documents back. I did my biometrics on 2 April, and I'm still...
Hi everyone, I've received my invitation for biometrics enrollment, which states that I must enroll my biometrics at a Post Office branch. I am based in Belfast - I visited the website to find the nearest PO branch that does biometrics enrollment, but apparently the only PO branches that do it are i...
Wow - thank you so much for your helpful reply! I really appreciate it. When you say apply using the same reference number as the previous application, do you recommend that I include the rejection letter I received from UKBA in my application? Or is there another way to put the reference number in ...
My application fee wasn't taken out, because my bank declined the transaction due to anti-fraud security measures. Before I received my rejected application back, I tried e-mailing and phoning the UKBA to ask about why my fees hadn't been deducted, but couldn't get through... maybe someone else know...
My credit card is based in the US. The credit card company declined the transaction because they thought the overseas charges were fraudulent (despite the fact I've lived in the UK for nearly 3 years and have used this card frequently while I've been here). There was/is more than enough money in the...
Do you know how successful this is? Has anyone been in this situation before? If you have, I would greatly appreciate if you could tell me your experiences with this. Thank you
Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can give me some advice. Here's my situation: I applied for a PSW visa on 28 January, and it was received by HO on 30 January. My application was perfect, but I paid by credit card and my bank declined the transaction for the application fees due to anti-fraud securit...
Hi everyone, Sorry to keep posting, but I REALLY need advice on this. I'm very worried something has gone wrong with my payment, and that my application will be invalidated and rejected. My student visa has at this point already expired, which makes things difficult for me now. Is there a number I c...
Hi everyone, I'm applying for a PSW visa from inside the UK, and sent my application on 28 January by special delivery. It was received by Home Office on 30 January, and on 6 February I received an acknowledgment letter from HO, which was dated 31 January. However, the application fees have still no...
