Tier1 decision profoundly delayed

[synchrony786]

Dear All,

I have come across this forum though not in time when i was collecting and filing my documents but at least I can have your advice now while waiting for my documents to arrive. Actually I sent my application with documents for extension of stay under Tier 1 on 14th March. They confirmed the receipt by sending the reference number on 17th. the fee was taken on the same date as well. now its more than a month but no news at all. I have contacted them twice but first time they refused to release any information or check on the progress but on second attempt they told me that it has been processed and now awaited for some kind of authorization. I am now kind of half heartedly awaiting for the decision as it seems to me rejection but would appreciate your view point. I mean why did it take to them so long when i have presented the documents in very very easily understandable format. I am working here in the UK and have sent them everything like payslips, bank statements, my wife credentials details and everythign else.

I would appreciate any opinion in this regard.

thanks

regards,

Hi guys

Well, I would suggest you not to worry about your cases. As there are too many people applying at the moment and on the top there is back log as well. As many people from India applied before 1st of April (tier 1 start date) therefore, they are taking time to clear things up. Be optimistic and hope for the best.

I hope things will be fine and you will get thru.
New process takes time, and they are slow and very careful at this. Its not that easy too...tht we think they can easily reject visas.no..not like tht.

Hi,

You don't have to worry. Keep positive, it is due to the back log of applications thats why sometimes the applications take longer.
