Where does it state that:
1. UKBA must decide an application within 6 months.
2. UKBA must provide status update of an application if the application has not been decided within X months?
3. UKBA must follow FIFO policy, i.e. - decide on applications submitted earlier than others even if the necessary checks on such applications are not yet complete, and hold on to applications submitted later (than the ones(s) in question) for whom the checks have been successful.

well done!! many ppl have talked about this, good to see you taking the initiative... i am after the gossip, what's solicitor's view? does he beleive writting to them will speed up the process?Man_In_Barc wrote:I have hired a solicitor to make a complaint on my behalf and is charging 250£.Not sure if it's value for money.
I'd be interested to know too, I see a time line on this forum recently where someone sent the application via a solicitor and got the approval in 5 weeks!!! So maybe using a solicitor does speed things up.. be interesting to see what happens.shs213 wrote:well done!! many ppl have talked about this, good to see you taking the initiative... i am after the gossip, what's solicitor's view? does he beleive writting to them will speed up the process?Man_In_Barc wrote:I have hired a solicitor to make a complaint on my behalf and is charging 250£.Not sure if it's value for money.
You could possibly be setting up a trend here!
Please don't get all excited and start giving people the wrong idea. Man_in_Barc has been waiting for six months, so its understandable if he writes to the HO.shs213 wrote:well done!! many ppl have talked about this, good to see you taking the initiative... i am after the gossip, what's solicitor's view? does he beleive writting to them will speed up the process?Man_In_Barc wrote:I have hired a solicitor to make a complaint on my behalf and is charging 250£.Not sure if it's value for money.

duh Sam! we are ALL aware & understand he's been waiting for 6 months...Sam_London wrote: Please don't get all excited and start giving people the wrong idea. Man_in_Barc has been waiting for six months, so its understandable if he writes to the HO.
I certainly wasn't planning to!Sam_London wrote: Most applicants are getting their decisions within the advised time frame (3-6 months). There is no point or need to write to the HO before six months is past.
in percentage terms there are few but in absolute terms there are lot of people waiting for 6+ months, so the outcome of this claim will help those who are waiting and can follow the same process... makes sense?Sam_London wrote: This is exactly what happened with the call centre, everyone went on a "trend" and phoned them every week which resulted in HO denying to entertain any calls before 6 months is past.
