Hi Jake
How did you book for the ceremony? Did you receive the invitation letter? I’m asking because I got my approval on 17 June, but I haven’t received yet the invitation letter. I applied by post like you did.

[bierebaron]

Ladies and Gentlemen, Its with great joy I would like to say my journey is over.

The approval letter arrived this morning and I am over the moon, I can now sleep peacefully at night. The waiting had me too worried and felt sick. But now I can relax.

With that said I would like to give my support to all those waiting for your approvals. It wont be long now.

I applied in the 28th via Postal. Money taken out on the 9th on June, Approval letter today dated the 20th of June.

I had 2 previous driving offences as well but I was honest about my application and everything worked out fine.

wow so fast......Money debited on 9th of June and approval received on 21 st June...

You said applied on 28th, but 28th of which month?

I sent the application on the 28th of April and money taken out on the 9th of May

8 years 8 months and 11 days.......... now off to US in a few weeks time, will come back & apply for a British Passport as I will not be able to do it in 2 weeks time

[Mrs Khan]

I am also in a same timeslot as my app reached HO on 28th April. I hope we hear some positive news by end of this month.

Congratulations Bierebaron on receiving your approval. Youhave a couple of typo error in your message as I remember you applied the same day as me which is the 28th of April and money taken out around the same time, between 7th and 10th of May. So hopefully, I should be getting my brownie soon too!!!! [/quote]

Hi guys, thought I should share my timeline with you

Submission -NCS- 4-4-11 (AN joint and MN1)
Acknowledgement letter-we got 2 letters, but money was deducted 19-4-11
Approval-awaiting
ceremony-awaiting

For the first time I called UKBA yesterday, unfortunately I got an unfriendly lady at the other end. I asked her about the application (because we were told at the NCS that it takes just 6 weeks), and to my amazement she said that the timeline has an AVERAGE of 6months! (Of course I know better). I think she said that because our application was made over 3 months ago. She told me that the application is awaiting allocation! Anyway I have come to the conclusion that there is no point calling to them because they tell you whatever they want to. So I will keep waiting for my brown envelope , hope I don't have to wait for too long.

That's the generic answer everyone gets when you call and decision hasn't been made on your application. also from the timeline you gave as submitting on the 4th of April, calling them today and saying you applied more than 3months ago is wrong as your application will not be 3 months until the 4th of July! But rest assured your brownie is on the way, just be patient.

[jake749]

goodluck jake749...did you noticed jake the day you joined the forum that was the decision date of your application very lucky

You're right, It's my Lucky day I supposed,,, anyway many thanks to you guys, and good luck to those who are still waiting...
