Does anyone submit the application in early October? How about the progress so far?
I am so much stressed on the slow process of a visa application, so much... so long....

I submitted mine 2.5 weeks before you and still don't have a response. I think they are making full use of their 8 weeks time frames.

I applied on the same day as you. But it's just an Extension. I believe we will hear something next week. We can see in previous posts that those who gave Biometric in 1st week of Oct are getting the results. We gave in 2nd week... so, it's going to be the next week.

Hi, I just wanted ask. I am still waiting for an answer to application. How do they send the biomentrics card, and how do they send your documents? I missed a delivery today from DX and they will only deliver to me at my home address. I thought the home office use Royal Mail? Maybe they use different companies?

Hi All congrats for getting getting visas. Could you please clarify below query.
Do we need medical certificate if we are switching from tier 1 entrepreneur to tier 2 general inside the country UK. If so could you please tell me what kind of medical certificate we need ? where can we get it in London.

Not yet Chenjiaqi. I won't know until I go back home in the evening. We are already in 6th weeks now. So, sooner or later, we will hear something back. I hope it is a good news for both of us.

Hi mate, how is it going? any news?
I wonder how does UKVI process the applications? Are they queued based on the date of online application or the date of BM letter sent?
BTW, Some one applied on line on Sep 23rd got his BM on Oct 6th and yesterday he got the visa.

I applied on the same day as you. But it's just an Extension. I believe we will hear something next week. We can see in previous posts that those who gave Biometric in 1st week of Oct are getting the results. We gave in 2nd week... so, it's going to be the next week.

I wonder how does UKVI process the applications? Are they queued based on the date of online application or the date of BM letter sent?
BTW, Some one applied on line on Sep 23rd got his BM on Oct 6th and yesterday he got the visa.
No news yet. Some people on this forum said UKBA process based on the Expiry Date of the current visa. I am not sure though...
Anyway, it's just around the corner for both of us.
