Hi Learningzone,learningzone wrote:Hi SetO30June
I applied under Set(O) category. But my current visa is valid until Nov 2012 so not an issue. I am planning to call Home Office this week or move the issue through local MP as there is no point in withdrawing the application after having waited for 6 months. Hope they have not misplaced our passports there. Just praying and hoping to resolve this soon.
HiSETO12AUG wrote:Hi All,
I've been waiting for 11 weeks now. I wish I had read all this before submitting a postal application! I wanted to phone after 12 weeks because this seems to be the UKBA service standard, but I see that they are now telling people to not phone before 6 months have lapsed. I may just phone anyway to try and get some info. Will update with the result of that conversation.
I have to fly to SA on 9 December to get married and really thought 4 months will be sufficient time to turn around our very straight forward application. I'm applying as a work permit holder with one dependent.
Question: if I manage to get an appointment to apply in person, can I withdraw my application? Or do I first have to withdraw and then try to get appointment?
Many congrats dude,jimbot91 wrote:Hi there,
Long-time browser, second-time poster. My partner and I received our ILR visas (5 years HSMP + Tier 1 General) on Monday.
Application sent June 30th
Stamped in Liverpool on October 17th
Passports/ documents received October 24th.
A bit over three and a half months waiting in all, so don't despair if you applied at a similar time, and good luck.

Am so happy! I received my passport with the Set (O) visa back yesterday 27 October after 16 weeks.
I did send them a fax just over a week ago explaining my situation and requesting for expedition so I'm pretty sure that is what got my visa finally processed.
Good luck to everyone. This is a really terrible process and am shocked that the process is so terrible and that they can get away with holding people's passports for so long with no update provided. I will just warn everyone and tell them to pay the extra to have the same day application as the 4 month wait is just nerve wrecking.
