I submitted my FLR (HSMP) at the same time but haven't heard anything back except that they are working on it. Does anyone have any tips on how to get it back faster? I have tixs to go home for Xmas on the 21st.

Good luck.

aravindlxp - we are in the same situation, we applied on the 30th Nov and called the home office today. They said it has been dealt with and not to worry about a trip on the 19th Dec

tester - you are doing much better than me. I submitted an urgent treatment and have called several times to say i have a trip on the 21st and the only reply i get is that they are working on it?!! apparently they have no Xmas spirit

we'll see whether it actually turns up in time or not! we don't have it yet....it tends to depend who you talk to at the contact center, some of them will give you more information some just want to get you off the phone. They ignored our Urgent Treatment form as well, it seems like they don't really care about people putting urgent travel on them at this time of year!

The reason why its being delayed is that they are in too much Xmas spirits and not due to the lack of it..

UK plc is now officially closed until the 2nd of January atleast..

Call them and ask them - we called everyday. Sometimes you will get someone good at the call centre and they will let you know what is going on...

Hi Gold / Punitsahni

We have not heard from you about your FLR status. Have you guys got it now? Can you tell us about the dates of your FLR delivery if possible?

thanks
Sampal

Hello sampal.
I haven't got my passport back yet, might be due to x-mass holidays. i am calling home office continously, getting same answer (under consideration).
thanx for your concern, could you please let us know about your FLR dates as well.

Thanx
