Hello everyone, I posted my application on 23/2/2012 and hit the 6-month mark on 22/8/2012. So I called 0870 606 7766 in the morning of 22/8/2012. I got through via ‘return of documents’ option after waiting for 14 minutes which was shorter than expected. The lady on the phone told me to call again...

Hi everyone, I submitted my FLR(M) Unmarried partner visa on Monday (18 June 2012). Didn't come across this site till today and it's gotten me a little worried that I might not have my new visa in time. My current Tier 1 visa expires on 7 Aug 2012. What happens to my employment status if I don't ge...

Congratulations to both tabrasil and piranyadi! Oh dear, it seems to take 5 months to get the visa now, which means I still have 1 month to wait!

Hi everyone, Has anyone received anything lately? Anyone that applied in January/ February got their visas yet? Just interested to see if anything is actually happening or not. Thanks Hi, I believe there are 2 or 3 people here who applied in Jan or Feb and have got their visa. You should be able to...

Hi all, I've just applied and am waiting for acknowledgement letter. Then I will write my timeline shortly after that :D Question: Why does everyone seem so excited about the biometric letter? Does it mean that the application has been approved? Sorry I'm a bit fuzzy about this. I've done the biome...

Bio-metric taken at PO on 11/2/12- still awaiting decision from HO.
Am always looking for the postman, this waiting is very stressful.

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that! Now you made me worried. My letter says Ms. I found my draft application form where I ticked Miss. I can't remember what I ticked on the final form. :(However, I'm applying for the visa as an unmarried partner. So I guess Miss or Ms wouldn't matter that much, maybe? An...

That is freaky. Maybe there is a standard timeline for the applications. I did my finger print and photo at lunch time at the post office. My letter came with Ms but I couldn’t remember I put Miss or Ms on the form. But the people at the post office only checked the spelling of my name and my date o...

Yes, your wife’s letter is probably on the way now. No. I didn’t fill in form online or upload the form. I just filled in the printed form and posted it. I was kicking myself for not filling the online form afterwards because I thought it might have speeded up my application. But from you have exper...

Hi everyone, Could anyone who has recently applied under the above visa category please share their experience on the waiting time?
