hi Izno, I don't know geographical/direct number for Liverpool office. But you can search for "weq4u" using google etc, they have a service that enables us to call 08 numbers. I used it several times and it worked. for August applicants, you can refer to this thread http://www.immigrationb...

Do you know the best address to send it to? Croydon or Liverpool? Yes, I am planning to write and post next week. For SET (O) ...

Thanks a million dhanku!

I really appreciate your excellent reply

Apparently it has been called off. The news link on UKBA website has even been removed. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-22023623 http://www.pcs.org.uk/en/news_and_events/pcs_comment/index.cfm/id/EAB5E5EF-1785-46DD-A76C46C3CBE4F9F8 We will be telling members about our future plans for action on Monday 8...

I am also thinking to do the same.

Do you know the best address to send it to? Croydon or Liverpool?

Yes, they hold on to your passport for that period until you get your approval and they return all your documents. At least that's what I'm going through now.... When applying for the ILR I know that many people say it takes the full 6 months but do they hold your passport for that full time even if...

Congrats dhanku! If the approval and your complaint are really related, that is ridiculous of them (UKBA) to only take action after someone complains to the senior level people. How did you get the email addresses of those people? Do you mind to share? Good news is after 7 months & 14 days wait ...

Thanks maryagn3s for your post My timeline is very similar to yours, yet I have not heard anything first post but i'm nearly six months into waiting. got a telephone call from the Home Office last night (the man was processing my app and needed to confirm my postal address?!?)... anywho... here's my...

Have you tried to write to UKBA yet? Nope nothing yet...wait is now 7 months 14 days long and still counting... :x. Have stopped calling them - I just dont see the point now. Not sure if you have received yours yet. Just to let you know that I have been waiting for 7 months and 4 days now. I call th...

Nothing yet.

Your timeline is similar to mine.

Are you thinking of writing a letter to UKBA next week?
