Hi Sansui,
Its really sad that you are still struggling since there are many more who have actually received documents after you have submitted.

I understand you were holding hsmp approved letter .....do you have all earnings in UK gbp or part earnings in your home country as well ( like indian allowances , etc ) ? Is it possible they are taking this long time for any verifications in your case ?

it's killing me.
Thanks
Sansui


Guys , some update ( rather no update ) ... spoke to a lovely lady this morning at call centre .... and got new stories ....i told her I emailed my sectionAA1 this monday & caseworker has acknowledged receipt & i wanted to understand further course....and she goes.... after case worker received that page it will go his manager for decision and followed by manager's manager for final decision !!! what an answer !!! should we buy this story ??? not sure !!!

Hussain, I dont think i would get my documents this week for sure if I am to believe this morning's discussion with our friendly call centre advisors :?

rahsmp,
Does it mean - there will be no more verification about the authenticity of documents after an application is assigned to case worker?

rahsmp wrote:I have given the reson for rejection in the following thread.
http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=27284

As per my knowledge there are several stages the application will go thorugh
1. Payment
2. Verification of all the required/supporting documents
3. Verifying with sources if required.
above will happen in 2-3 weeks
4. Case worker start looking at the application
4a. Check the application and clarify with the applicant if any issues.
4b. Asses the point claimed .
4c . Decision on the application.
5. If Rejected send it back or If approved then send it for Stamping.
6. Passport verification
7. Stamping and sedning it back.

My friend case has failed in stage 4b.

I think there are chances of verification if the case worker feels to do so.

Yesterday I've faxed a letter to UKBA asking my son's passport number for medical purpose (it's just so happen that children hospital using his passport no as identification), the lady just email me today with the number, so probably my application is still with the case worker. I just thank her for answering me promptly, but didn't ask for progress or anything else.

Now, it's more than 6 weeks for you - more than the average waiting.
You need to find out the reason - somehow.

it is really getting hard to wait longer.

My agent says since there is going to be a change in Tier 1 scheme (in the Maintenance part) end of June, they are busy and hence this back log on the applications.

Looks like most of us who have applied after 20th of april are facing the drums.

Any good news for anyone. Please do update.

i don't think they have more work bringing this new rules for maintenance part. before June 1st, 800£ is the total they need from bank statement now with new rules, they are looking at 800 as a balance for 3 consecutive months. these changes should not impact the current processing time i believe. anyways they can sell any sorts of stories for us.

Yeah true. And even the actual case workers looking at our applications will not be the ones who are making the rules. But I guess the agent was trying to cheer me, by saying anything.

No luck today. Hope the best for tomorrow now.

Looks like HO folks don't have the pressure after they relaxed their service standard from 4 weeks to 10 weeks.

My agent says since there is going to be a change in Tier 1 scheme (in the Maintenance part) end of June, they are busy and hence this back log on the applications.

Looks like most of us who have applied after 20th of april are facing the drums.

Any good news for anyone. Please do update.

The HO is just killing me.........
I tried calling today but no chance...my trip is for 25th and am going with the family but all our passports are still locked in a vault with the caseworker eating a pizza but not working....i mean i applied on the 18th of april.... :cry:

This process used to take a day and we paid £500 for the same day service but now itz more expensive but yet more time....something is just wrong

hopefully tommorow....pray i dont take this out on Rob our postman
