[biru1926]

Biru 1926 i justt called and got to know they decided my case and has been sent in post visa royal mail, when should i expect delivery? Will it be delivered tomorrow or day after? Oh m soo stressed, and is tracking number for BRP? Pr approval letter?

wow Dania91 fingers crossed you will get good positive news ,i didn't get time to ring too busy wd work definately ill ring toady,glad you know dt its on the way,all my best wishes wd you,hope in day or two you should get the delivery ,thks for updates

When u confirm about ur application status let us know, m sooo stressed i read everywhere they send 2 parcels to every1 , then y just 1 for me? Do u ppl recieve brp through dx courier or via royal mail??

Hi Dania91 i just called,and they said my application is not completed yet i assume its in process ,but they said they are dealing with Dec Applications which was a bit relief but stress and pressure is still same

[biru1926]

All, my timelines as below:
Applied on Set(O) on 04-Dec-2014
Acknowledgement 15-Dec-2014
Biometrics given 30-Dec-2014
Last week when I called home office they said they are currently considering October cases. Anyone in same timeline as me with a different opinion? Too much anxiety, hence the query....

Hi

Devp i've applied in same month,under set M,and i am still waiting too

[devp]

Iam not sure but I believe Set(M) straight forward cases are being dealt faster on a separate track than Set(O) which requires further investigation. This is what I can infer from this forum.

I have copied other people timelines to kind of get an idea. We can add to it as we go on. We don't have a tracker for postal applications excluding set LR? Can anyone make one?

Dania waiting for your feedback.

[devp]

Sajjus thanks for that aggregation of information. So as a thumb rule we can state for postal applications the average processing time is 3-4months.

Got nothing today post man just came b left so may be tomorrow a waiting game xx

[sajjuz]

Dania I don't think it will be your postman bringing the package. Hopefully you will get it today.

[sajjuz]

Yes Devp thats what I think too. Do understand that this is a very small number where as the home office receives a couple thousand or more applications every month. Another thing I believe is that processing time has gone down. People who applied in August received their decision in around 5 months time, and then it took the next batch around 3 to 3.5 months and now the time is under 3 months. So be positive, hoping for positive decisions in under 3 months!!

[Dania91]

Dania I don't think it will be your postman bringing the package. Hopefully you will get it today.

Really sajjuz? They gave ne royal mail tracking number but it was in complete so i cant track it? I asked post man he said if its a second class post it will come day after if sent yesterdag ( is that true? And if not post man will it come by another van or something? Shud i still stay home n wait for it?

[sajjuz]

Dania I believe you might have to sign for it, so it should be a different guy bringing you your documents. Did they say it was recorded delivery?

[sajjuz]

Yes please stay home it has to be today or tomorrow. You are in London right?

[Dania91]

Yes please stay home it has to be today or tomorrow. You are in London right?

No i m in wigan northwest,

[sajjuz]

Oh, ok. Did they tell you they mailed it yesterday or was it day before yesterday?? Can't you call them again and ask for the right tracking number, also ask them when did they mail it? You are almost there so keep praying.

[Dania91]

Dania I believe you might have to sign for it, so it should be a different guy bringing you your documents. Did they say it was recorded delivery?

Yes sajjuz they said it was recorded delivery, sent yesterday on 4th, actually they just mentioned recorded delivery and signed for and not that it was first class or second class, so m confused , actually normally all signed for posts our post man brings if its via royal mail, but dont know what will happen this time

[sajjuz]

Well if I were you I wouldn't leave home till 6 pm. I am following this thread waiting for an update from you. InshaAllah soon and a happy one.

[devp]

Dania if it is a second class delivery it is usually a one to two day process depending on when they send it during the day.One day if it was sent before 2PM and the next day if it is later on.Also if it is a signed for then even if you miss it you can still collect it at the depot after 24hours (as in the worst case)

From expeience of packages (like our docs sent back) are sent by other than postman. Because it cannot be put thru mail window in the door. ( i was so told)
Unsure if ILR letter is sent first or seperate from returned docs??

Lastly any stats timelines of set o entrepreneur accelerated.................appreciate information

[sajjuz]

Entrepreneur 10 jobs,
I agree that it would be separate from the postman as the postman does not knock, hand packages and get signatures. If it was just a regular letter then they would not send it recorded delivery.

I am in the same boat at u..accelerated route but we just applied last week...

[Dania91]

Well if I were you I wouldn't leave home till 6 pm. I am following this thread waiting for an update from you. InshaAllah soon and a happy one.

I have not given any originals, just life in uk as i went through settlement services, so can i expect to get my brp with signed post? They said they have sent just 1 signed for post for me, so does that mean it has both my brp and letter? Or that will come separately?

[sajjuz]

It should come separately usually 5-7 days after your approval letter.

[Dania91]

It should come separately usually 5-7 days after your approval letter.

Sajjuz do u mean they ll only send approval letter via signed post?? And do u know who deliver brp? Royal mail or any other courier service?

[sajjuz]

Dania,

Its possible you just receive your letter and BRP together. As long as you get your letter the BRP will follow if not with it. Don't worry about that.

Actually sajjuz my main worry is we are planning to go abroad to meet family, havent met them from past 2 years, now from next month hubby is working only chance for us to go is now incase we recieve everything quicker so we can travel next week, bt now again a waiting game:( can i ask if they have sent brp n approval letter separately they ll mention they sent 2 packs? Or they ll still call it as 1 post?

Sajjuz,

Good to see a T1 Ent Acc Route. Youare recent i applied dec 23rd. & waiting. Can we communicate on emails etc if you have time?
Dania is stressed understandably.....staying at home is best i think.....to end stress once and for all
