Guys who applied on 28th, 29th, 30th of Jan have got their passports back on 3rd and 4th Mar. So those who applied in the 1st week of feb should be expecting their passports next week.

People who have applied around your time lines have started getting back their passports from the middle of last week. Having said that each case is unique. Each case worker has different style of working. Also the case worker who was dealing with your case may have had a couple of days off or sick etc. So, we can just take others timelines as an indication but cant really compare. What I am trying to say is that even if one's application is a little late in processing that does not necessarily mean something is wrong or a matter to worry about. I can understand your anxiety :) All the best

Dont have to contact HO. Somebody else has got their passports back doesnt mean you have to get your passports back. Applications will be dealt by different case workers. So, the decisions will be made according to their work load etc. Also HO will not respond to your call unless it is 14 weeks sice you applied. They would just answer that your application is under process. So dont worry and take it easy. I know it is easier said. :)

Thanks for the reply. I shall wait more and keep my finger crossed to see something positive. 12% Of Home Office staff was on strike on 9th and 10th March, it might be delay...I also forgot to dispatch a return Special delivery envelop with my application...If other has started to get back thier passport so hopefully in next two weeks i might get mine one as well.

I know some of us had received their passport+visa some time last week. Perhaps because they included the self addressed SD ..and I didn't. Others, please update. Thanks

Processing times can vary greatly. There's no saying when you'll hear back and you can't request a status update on your application unless its been more than 14 weeks since you sent in your papers.

I had applied sometime second week of January and am yet to hear back. Hopefully they'll respond before my current leave to remain expires.
