Extended Checks...................how long exactly

Post by hoopsy » Thu May 21, 2009 2:44 pm

Hi All,

Please post here your timelines and experiences if your application is on extended checks or still on whatever checks. Also, if you have received your response or you know someone who went through extended checks, kindly post experiences, timelines and outcomes here. Maybe we can see a pattern and help maintain sanity of all those still waiting.

Cheers.

I applied on 18-2-09 and got an email 3 days before from BHC Islamabd that some checks are on and so I should wait.

Hoopsy,just wondering what status you get for your application from HO call centre

AFC or On Extended Checks???

Mine is AFC for more than two weeks,employer verification has been done last week,previous earnings were from home country.

Well, whenever I call HO they tell me AFC. I made a complaint and they sent me letter that it's on extended checks. Still called after 4 weeks and they say AFC............

I know some one coming off from extended checks.....

There were actually no checks being carried out,his passport was probably sitting some where under pile of files for 8 months and got it back stamped after making second complaint within 3 days though it was student visa extension...

we can expect positive results after all this painful delay!!!

Hi All,

Tier 1 visa finally approved! God is truly awesome!

Waiting since January 2009.
Awaiting further consideration since Feb, on extended checks since March.
Approved June 2009 for 3years.

For all those still waiting I urge you to hold on strong, this too shall pass...and you shall be smiling sweetly as long as you're genuine. Don't get discouraged or frustrated by HO and all their checks. So long as you are genuine it will come through positive by God's grace.

And I can confirm that HO does check submissions for points claimed. Just hang in there!

Don't worry, so long as all is genuine, by God's grace it will come thru positive. Remember, I waited 6months and that within UK.

All the best!
