Has anyone from end of July still waiting for decision? I applied 26/07 (set LR). Still nothing. Am I the only one left from July 😥
Still waiting and applied July 28th! Hopefully we will hear soon- as decisions pouring in.
Hopefully yes. As my BRP has expired in Sept, I don't guess I would be able to see any changes in RTW website as what I have found here from the comments that it only works for those whose previous BRP is valid until the decision arrives. Only thing left is emails that I'm regularly checking. Is your previous BRP valid?

It seems to be 'falling in order' for only those who managed to submit in-person bio metrics (I include myself in that finite few lucky ones) - Others who did IDV app submission are still waiting from Jun/Jul/Aug also

@ajitu92(statsman), have the July applicants still waiting for a decision submitted via IDV?

Nope, nothing to do with app/in-person for Set LR at least. I know the situation is a bit different for the other routes.

Adding on what @Ajitu92 said. Once you click “book an appointment”, you will be rerouted to UKVCAS, where you will create an account. An access code will be sent which usually lands up in Junk folder.
Woohoo, I finally beat Mr. superspeed fingers aka @CULLINAN :lol: :lol:
I would like to take this moment to appreciate your efforts and thank you for helping others also.

This forum should not only be about seeking help for yourself but offer help to others also where you feel confident about the topic.

I know not everyone can offer help to all as they do not have the knowledge but at least Tier 2 can help Tier 2 applicants, SET(LR) can help SET(LR) etc.

I see you are helping others too which makes me happy :D

PS: More than happy to be beaten as your helping others :lol:

PS: Il let you answer the previous Q by @Adam17 😜
Thank you @CULLINAN, I appreciate your kind words. Thank you too, for helping all of us lost/nervous souls through the Home Office and related policy labyrinth! I'm sure I speak on behalf of everyone when I say that yourself and all the other key members/moderators of this forum have been instrumental in the people's (sometimes life changing) journey of UK immigration, even if it was just as simple as people seeking assurance of their own reading/interpretation of the immigration rules.

I definitely agree with you, and hence I'm just trying to do whatever (little) I can to help wherever and whenever I can. The confidence factor is key!

P.S: Thank you for the opportunity...very gracious of you to allow me to type another essay in response to @Adam17 😜😂

Weldone for all that you do, I appreciate you👏👏👏 ....and yes I am still lurking😃. If I was to be the home office, you would be granted Naturalisation instead.....

Thank you very much. Do you know if it is a signature delivery?
Many in this forum have reported their BRPs being delivered through the letterbox
That's why I feel strange, as on their website, they claim a signature is required for all deliveries for UKVI.
In theory, its a Signature Delivery and the UKVI should send you Tracking Number. But UKVI also mentioned that due to covid and contact-free, signature is no longer require. In my case, I came down to receive the post but the guy did not ask for signature.
That makes sense, thank you very much!

UKVI will send you a tracking number. Once you have that, the TNT Tracking portal will tell you exactly what date it will be delivered. But if UKVI didnt send you the tracking number, you can not get it from TNT Customer Service as couriers from UKVI is handled by a special team and CS team do not have access to.
Thank you very much. Do you know if it is a signature delivery?
I never received any tracking email my BRP card was posted ordinarily through my letter box.
OK, I think I have to contact the person who lives in my old address to keep an eye now, thanks!

Mate, I have avoided saying anything till now, but I have been observing your posts for a while. You need to relax and let go. We're all in the same situation and there is nothing really in our hands anymore. I understand it's uneasy, unnerving and nerve-racking but there's not much we can do other than wait throughout the service standard time period. It has been but a few hours into the day and still too early to say anything about how badly this lockdown is affecting/will affect things.

@Ameline exactly! 10000% agree. Panic inducing posts like the previous one help no one. This forum is all about solidarity, so frustration is understandable but still.
