Applied 28th June
Ref Later Dated 3rd July
UTR sent and recorded 21st August
Approval Date 21st August
Stamped 2nd September
Dispatched 5th September
Wonder what they were waiting for between 21st August and 2nd September and further why did they wait 3 days for dispatch?
Neways I am glad I got it. Best of luck to all those still waiting!
hop4best wrote:As per my understanding processing time should be impacted by
1. Complexity of the documents provided and
2. Whether or not CW, his/her supervisor or any other concerned person is on leave.
3. whether or not stamping/dispatch is done in batches
First point above is important as if from the provided documents CW is not fully satisfied he/she may consider validation of the docs that adds up to the processing time of particular application... e.g a person who provides 12 month payslips from single employer and 12 bank statements from a single bank confirming the salary debited to that account should get his/her case completed before the person who has let say shown multiple employer, or more than one bank account, or if his/her income came from more than one country etc...
As it's main applicant whose documents are considered for income proof, funds proof (unless dependant have shown seperate account for the same), there should not be much difference in single applicant and the applicant with dependants as long one submit proper marriage certificate, birth certificate for children....
Mine was case with dependants, I paid by cheque, I submitted 12 UK payslips from single employer, 12 bank statements as second evidence of income, and also requested last 3 months statements to be considered for maitenance proof. And got my docs in 6 weeks.. Looking at the timelines of few applicants I am feeling quite lucky to get my visa so quickly...

Firstly thanks to all the contributors of this forum. I have been observing the posts in this Forum and I must accept that it has played a key role in my appilacition whether it be the idea of having covering letters in my application & their formats or of current processing times.
I have received my Tier 1 Visa last Saturday. Following are the timelines.
Type: WP to Tier 1
Sent application by Royal mail: 20-Jun-08
Application received by HO/ Payment deducted: 24-Jun-08
Reference letter received: 24-Jun-08

Called the CC in August. Response was "We do not provide status updates for such applications"
Called CC on Friday 5th September 08. Response "Still under Consideration"
Received my Visa on the IMMEDIATE NEXT DAY. September 6th.
The stamp on my visa shows a date of September 2

Certain Lessons to Learn:
1. Status "Still Under Consideration" has no meaning whatsoever(Atleast in cases pending for long)
2. Might be better to send a self addressed postage paid envelope along with the application. I hadn't done that and might be one of the reasons for the delay
3. Though I had applied for 85 points, I was granted only 75 (Thanks to the 10 extra points that I had, otherwise I would have been rejected). The issue was a follows.
"I receive my basic salary in India. As I have landed in UK in November, Only the Indian salary received before november can be uplifted. From the day I landed in UK, the salary received in India has to be used as is and should not be uplifted"
I have read all instructions multiple times before submitting my application. I never saw a mention of this. Nevertheless, I am now afraid there might be some of you who would have made this mistake. I hope incase some one's points go below 75 due to this mistake, the HO would consider them as exceptions and approve them.
Thank you,
