You should give yourself 6 to 7 weeks before you get your documents back

Also don't contact customer service ,they will drive you mad!! they are not helpful at all

Thanks,

Yes you should get it on monday/tuesday. In my case i think they took just a day to process and dispatch the papers. All time before that it was awaiting consideration

Yeah Jammy ... !!! Most Unhelpfull guys work there.

May be they need to outsourse their call center to India, I am sure that will work better.

Hopefully I get my documents back on Time as I have already booked my holiday for July End.

Hi,

I have applied Tier1(G) on 8th April(WP to Tier1).

My status today is "Awaiting Consideration".

Anyone knows when it is going to be changed to "Under Consideration".

Thanks for the help.

Did not ask for Urgent Treatment ?, if your case is straightforward and you organize your documents well, it'll definately help.

Applied on April 15 2009
Received Letter and Reference Number April 17 2009
Received Passport with visa stamped until 2012 - May 21 2009
Visa was issued on May 20, 2009

Don't think any employer checks were done as my boss has not heard from them.

Hope this helps.
