Really surprized to see such a long processing time. Couple of my friends applied in Feb/March and got the result within 3 weeks.

Need to plan a holiday but can't due to this wait.

Well ... It seems that Home Office haven't started processing April Applications yet.
It could be a long wait.

[UmmMaryfati]

I applied 21 may and still haven't even gotten acknowledgement!!!

Looks like there has been a massive backlog of March Applications. It may take a little longer for the applications made after March.

Surprised that May applicants got their biometrics so late. I applied 1st June and I got my biometrics dated the 15/6 just waiting for approvals.

Hi!
It's anyone has an approval yet?

[Sirigama]

Hi,

I received my biometric enrolment letter 10 days back, but my title was wrong (Mrs instead of Mr). I have sent mail to NationalityBiometrics@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk twice, asking for a corrected letter. I haven't received any response to my emails. Is there a phone number I can call them on, to confirm?

Thanks.

Hi

There isnt a number , try emailing furthernationalityenquiries@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk
And try to be patient , you will receive one soon . I had the same issue too ,got two biometric enrolment letters with errors and finally the third was correct .

[PuneetNagpal]

I saw some 2-3 approvals for April applications; specifically before the biometric rules came in. till it is a good sign. On average, it took 3 months from the acknowledgement date. Still, things seem to be moving. That is good, in my opinion.

[Marier]

Good then that mean around August we suppose to have an approval!!!!!
I can't waitttt

I really doubt. It might take 3 more months from now considering the rate they are currently going.
