You may be right and the correspondence is indeed your documents. I'm pretty sure they send them before approving. Maybe ring them again and try to clarify this? Even ask directly whether your docs were sent back.freddfrog wrote:Hi guys, regarding my application when they said that correspondence has been sent but application is still under consideration. Could the correspondence be that they have sent my original supporting documents back?
I didn't go through NCS so had to send in original passport and supporting docs.
Has anyone else just done a postal application? For those who did, when did they send the original documents back? Prior to you receiving the approval letter back or after approval?
If anyone can shed any light, I'd be grateful.
I'm racking my brains as to what this correspondence could be as I've made sure that I'd included everything and everything was signed according to the requirements!
Congratulations and well done!Spartac wrote:All done guys....

Hi Citizen1000 , i can bet that your decision has already been made 4-5 days ago as the call centre people are telling you the date based on when it appeared on their screens ... you will get it by the end of this week or even sooner! best of luck matecitizen1000 wrote:NCS or Postal : NCS

HI EVERYONE. I THOUGHT WILL SHARE AN UPDATE WITH YOU.
I had called yesterday & spoke to lady who said that my application was awaiting to allocated to case working team. This message was a bit different than other advisers because even last week the telephone advisors said that my application was under consideration.
THEREFORE I CALLED HOME OFFICE AGAIN TODAY AT ABOUT 15:00 & SPOKE TO A NICE CHAP WHO SAID THAT IT SEEMS THAT A DECISION WAS MADE TODAY ON MY APPLICATION. HE SAID THAT HE CAN NOT TELL ME WHAT THE DECISION IS BUT SAID TO WAIT FOR POST & FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTION ON THE LETTER.
nOW I HOPE THAT INSHALLAH THE DECISION WILL BE A POSITIVE ONE.
SO MY POINT IS THAT IT ALSO DEPENDS ON THE TYPE OF ADVISER YOU SPEAK TO. SOME ARE VAGUE & SOME GIVE GOOD INFORMATION.
THOSE WHO HAVE GOT THEIR LETTERS, CAN THEY TELL ME HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO DISPATCH THE LETTER?
MANY THANKS & GOOD LUCK TO ALL

Thats great yar. Hopefully you'll get a very good news soon.yarons wrote:UPDATE:
Just got off the phone with a nice chap from UKBA. He said that my application was concluded yesterday and I should get a letter with the decision within the next 10 days.

freddfrog, I've got exactly the same timeline as you (same day for submission and acknowledgement) so you may want to call yourself and see if they have an update for you.
Inshallah you will have the letter soon with a positive decision. The killer is the 2nd class post.Tim555 wrote:Thats great yar. Hopefully you'll get a very good news soon.yarons wrote:UPDATE:

Are you planning on calling UKBA again? Maybe the correspondence is the decision letter...freddfrog wrote:No Special Delivery and no original documents today so I'm guessing it isn't as thought but it depends if they prpared them on Tuesday sent it today which means it could also be tomorrow.
The only other thing I can think of is they may want my original previous passports or marriage certificate.
Don't know why though as my current albeit expired passport with my residence permit clearly shows the year 2004. So that's the 5-year residency requirement (ILR). I did fill i that I'm married and have been for 3.5 years to a British Citizen too but I thought it's either one or the other and doesn't have to be both.
I guess I'll just have to wait for the correspondence to see what it is and if it is 2nd class it probably won't get to me until Friday at the earliest..
Might do, but the telephone adviser told me that the status on the computer says that my application is still under consideration and that correspondence has been sent. I'm assuming that this meant that a decision has not yet been made and application not concluded unlike what the operative told you with your application?yarons wrote: Are you planning on calling UKBA again?

Thanks Brightest Star. I wish It could happend on next Friday.Brightest Star wrote:Tim Bhai, I got your PM and now I reckon that may be by next Friday (not the coming one) we will have our decisions. The first working day your application was received by HO is 01/03 and usually it takes 3 weeks for a decision to be made and then another 10 days for the 2nd class post to arrive.
