PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO ANYMORE OF HIS/HER IRRELEVANT MESSAGES.
Also Amritsar singh , if you happen to not be a "BOT", do us all a favor and get your SH*T together. We are all here to get relevant information and your messages are incoherent and annoying.
cheers

I applied via NCS on 31/3 and UKBA received it on 2/4 .
I mailed UKBA and they said that a decision has been made on 17 july and that i should expect a letter with an invitation to attend the ceremony - which kind of suggests it is probably approved though the email didn't explicitly mention that.
But then i am still waiting. I got to know that they are sending by second class mail - really don't know how long does it take to receive a mail dated 17th july.
anybody else who has applied in this timeline still waiting for approval? or am i the last one?

Do they really give this information over the phone that decision has been made in your favour?
As I said, they didn't say yes or no but they did mention a decision has been taken on 17th july and you should receive a letter shortly inviting you to attend the ceremony - this was the statement in the email i received. (It was not telephonic)

Thanks everyone on the forum, really appreciate the sharing of info here as it does help put context into the wait. Good luck to all. Cheers!n2legos wrote:Application Timeline
Eligibility criteria: 5yr + 1yr ILR (Tier 2, American)
Method of application: NCS (Carlisle)
Date of receipt by UKBA: 2 April 2015
Date of debit of fees: 21 April 2015
Date of receipt of acknowledgement: 25 April 2015
Date of receipt of approval: 31 July 2015 (dated 21 July 2015)
Date of Ceremony: 21 August 2015
Note: This is for two application forms; Spouse also applied at same time, same NCS appointment. They are treated us together with one letter of acknowledgement to include both of us. We each received an approval letter, same day.
+1 on this. I agree. Before I assumed that it was just a decision to work through their Jan/Feb/Mar backlogs before starting on the post-biometrics. But now the fact they've been stuck at 1/2 April for weeks suggests that there might be something up. The Home Office are the most useless organisation on earth with these sorts of things so an almighty admin c**kup would be totally in line with their form so far. They already sent us a second biometric letter by mistake a whole month after my OH had already submitted them.ukswus wrote:It's been now several weeks since all the approvals stalled at April 1 mark. I am beginning to suspect that there is some technical issue which prevents them from considering post- biometric applications.
This isn't quite true. We had our first April approval on 16 July which is a full 2 weeks ago, since which we haven't seen any progress. Which suggests that they have been consciously avoiding doing the post-biometric people so far.landcruiser94 wrote:There really isn't any evidence to indicate there is a problem with april applicants who are starting out on the new biometric process. I have been following this thread closely and we only started seeing approvals from april applicants at the start of this week. So far, we have only seen approvals from folks so sent off their applications on 1st april or those whose applications were received by the 2nd of April. Give it another week or two before getting worried and even at that, no one can really say there is a mess up going on... Keep following the thread and we will learn more in the coming weeks.
