Not too sure because mine has not been taken yet and it's over a month I sent it.

Shaha and rella
You both apply on same date
I believe, Home office deliberately holding application until the new Immigration rule (14/12/14) affected, to control migration.

Hi,
FYI - home office does not send any sort of acknowledgement for reconsideration applications (First hand experience)
The only confirmation you'll ever get is when £80 are taken from your account.
Regards
all is well that ends well

Reconsideration is usually on the basis of HO improperly following their procedures &/or errors on points of law (eg mis-applying Immigration Regulations).
If such a circumstance has arisen you can apply for reconsideration of the original decision.

That's generous. I've heard you can get 11......
I am not, and cannot, offer legal advice to particular people. I can only discuss general areas of immigration law.
People should always consider obtaining professional advice about their own particular circumstances.

No guarantee of course that any of them are correct.
(Casa, not CR001)
Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
