Hi People,
Since I still waiting for the stupid certificate, I want to confirm the email where all of you are sending the additional information. I have sent my additional information to the next email
atas@fco.gov.uk
and I want to know if at least I did it in the right way. I also want to know how you people have sent its enquires, I mean, are you using the same email than before or are you using the ATAS website in the section “Contact ATASâ€

These guys asked me for additional info on sep18th and i have sent it to them. Now, they get back to me yday (almost a month lateR!!) telling me that i need to specify a complete name of the referee including surname. What the hell man?? Can't they just ask this before itself. I find this extremely ridiculous. Feel like strangling those fellas. Now, it looks like they take another month to just acknowledge me and then say "please wait for another 10 working days". I swear i'll go bonkers if they do that.

Dear Pugazh,
Dont lose hope. Make sure the University ppl are aware of this delay. Apparently, it was reported in the newspaper that the FCO is makin a hell of a delay in processing and so it has left the applicants and the university authorities in distress. So, don't worry, just make sure the univ is okay with you coming in a little late.

Thank you very much AQR! I seem to be present in the third rank for the highest number of days... This is ridiculous cz ppl who have applied along with me have received it, inspite of being asked for additional info similar to my case. On what basis are they issuing this clearance?^$$(*)_*)_(= i'm going insane....

it is n't a mistake ammasatish!! He has done it based on the day u ve posted last in this forum. Cz if u do not post in between we would naturally presume that u might have obtaned the clearance? So, which is why i think it's good if all of us post as soon as we receive the clearance, so that it gives some hope to the others who are a part of this forum.

I have corrected some bugs in the Spread Sheet file, I will keep updating it until I will get the result of my ATAS, then I will leave it to new users in this forum (everyone can edit it).
let see who can have his name in Guinness World Records for waiting for this ... ATAS.

I have got my approval today (submitted on Sep. 3), I think FCOs going to be less busy next days, so if your uni accepts late arrival, it might help. thanks everyone for your help and hope success for all of you in your applications
