Hahaha. I do the same thing mate. Last time I called them, I actually admitted and said "I don't want to give another excuse for my call. HO doesn't say anything about the applications and waiting is so frustrating, that's why I'm calling you". She said that's cheeky but understandable no worries

Just stopped in to see how some of the members here are doing.
Tulip that good news about you dreaming about the famous "Brown" envelope. I hope it comes soon.
Rakeysh, I think your going to be getting a call for your local council advising you that your ceremony has been book in.
To the rest of the gang here, good luck and I hope all my March applicants get they approval this month.
Cheers,
Tangie

Not gone through all the posts in this thread but please let me know if there are any stats maintained based on timelines posted by member here applied in March.

e.g.
Total number of applications submitted in March as per this thread
Number of Applications approved
Number : waiting for ceremony
or List something like below
Sent Date , Received by Date , Payment Cleared Date, Ack Received Date , Ack Dated, Approval Letter Dated, Approval Received, Ceremony Date etc etc

Same here tulip! It's so frustrating

[Dal]

Neither here Tulip.

I have 2 sons (4years and 11months) and I only applied for the 4 years.

I wish I could applied for both at the same time .

[tulip11]

Sorry if I missed your applications dates . So asking once again when did you apply Fykes and Dal ?

2nd half March is getting their approvals fast as compared to first half. What I remember just 1 applicant from 1st week of March got approval so far. It may be the case that the caseworker dealing with first week of march applicants is on holidays or he/she is working too slow

[Dal]

It is really strange. There is nothing we can do,only waiting and more waiting.
