Awaiting Reference

Post by Pelsdanny » Fri Jun 19, 2009 9:39 am

Hi All,

my first appli T1 G was refused because one of the last 3months statements reflect a drop in my maintenance fund(few days below required amount).I misinterpreted the requirement for maintenance fund.

I received a refusal letter end of May and was given the option to submit a fresh application.

I submitted a fresh application for FLR with a covering letter ,copy of the old reference/refusal letter, 3 additional savings i.e 2 Isa accts and 1savings acct.

Date submitted- 3 june 09
Date received by HO - 4 june 09
Payment deducted by HO - 4 june 09
visa expired 15th june 09
Reference or Aknowledgement letter - yet to receive.

my worries is the reference letter,i have called 4 times but told to wait. my office only have the old reference letter sent in May though not aware of the situation.

Is anyone in similar situation?

Please all, i need advice and support :(

There are many applicants in this forum who got their VISA approvals even without receiving the Reference letter from HO

So do not worry as you mentioned ur old ref no. in the cover letter MAY BE they are working with the same reference letter basis so they might not have sent u one again

Hi,

Though not exactly in same situation, I have same problem.

I got my tier-1 back in MAY. I applied for dependant on jun 8th separately as my wife was abroad and came back only in first week of jun. I have not received any reference number though payment has been taken from my credit card.

I called HO about this and lady did not know the answer and asked me to wait since fee has been taken....By looking at updated waiting times which says considering application recd on or before 12th jun...I am expecting application to be processed in next week or so.

Just relax. There may be delay in the acknowledgment from HO. One of my friend received the letter almost after 3 weeks. Also as tvn suggested you may get approval before letter.Preserve your Royal Mail Receipt.
