At least that part is easy to answer. IND have made it clear that applications submitted prior to 3rd April will be dealt with on the basis of the pre-3rd April legislation, even if the application is dealt with on or after 3rd April.I got a letter from HO saying they received my app but the date the letter was sent was as of 3rd April so I am not sure how this works whether I fall in the old rules or new ones
No don't, the last thing that IND will want is lots of letters saying that. It will just slow up the process of dealing with the applications. Just hold on to your proof of posting, until you hear back from them. If they query the date of posting then you have the evidence you need.Do you think I should send them a note just in case to confirm that my app was sent before 3rd April
How did you send it? Special Delivery? Or at the very least, Recorded Delivery? If so use the Track & Trace facility at www.royalmail.co.uk to check when it was signed for.do you have any idea how long the posts take
70% within four weeks, 90% within 13 weeks ... to deal with postal applications ..... is what the IND indicates. But do appreciate that they probably got a well-above-average number of applications last week, so expect those percentages to slip a bit in the near term.does it really take 4 weeks for HO to respond or is that just a byline figure
I posted my application on 1st APR, got my cheque cleared on 6th APR but so far I haven't recieved any letter(acknowledgement) from HO.I got a letter from HO saying they received my app but the date the letter was sent was as of 3rd April so I am not sure how this works whether I fall in the old rules or new ones
My opinion ... absolutely not! Far too early. They were inundated with applications late March and early April. Clearly they have the application but don't expect speedy treatment.Do I need to call them?
I think you need to mention your percentages to your employer ... and say that you cannot guarantee that you will be able to travel early May.HO standards for post are they decide 70% of the applications with 4 weeks and 90% with 14 weeks.
Chetkav who posted his application on 28th March has got his passports back with ILR on 27th April itseems. So they're(HO) completing applications on time in 20 working days. So you should get yours in the early this week. Have you completed 20 working days from the date you posted?talktome wrote:nope havent received anything from HO, finished 4 weeks already and still counting.I will ask them to expedite by next week if I dont get a response as I have to travel
Yes. You need to appreciate that a change to the Immigration Rules affected many in respect of applications made or or after 3 April 2006. Accordingly a lot of people rushed their applications into IND in late March. No doubt IND is still working through that March deluge, and then will deal with more on to clear those dated 1st or 2nd April, before moving on to look at later applications.Dn't know whats happening in the HO. The dates are not changing in the website to April. Can any guess whats actually going on?

I had sent in my app on 30th Mar so roughly they are taking close to 5 weeks now to complete the apps.
