Guys you need to stop emailing the UKBA office requesting your pertinent application statuses.
They are correct, their jobs are to process your thousands and thousands of applications, period. They can't stop what they are doing to answer your questions just because you are being impatient.
As a person who deals daily with urgent matters I know!
The process is simple:
You apply and wait 30 days for the COA, if not received within those 30 days you should request status but NOT after 30 have past.
After that and according to your COA letter the wait time is of 6 months, sometimes sooner as we have noticed here, but nevertheless it is 6 MONTHS.
If you don't receive the RC in those 6 months then you send and email requesting status of your application, Furthermore, if you should need your passport to be returned before the 6 months, then you send an email requesting it. Very simple.
That is all it takes to gain legal status in the UK, when you balance it out it's not hard at all. As oppose to doing all of this in the USA which will take 2 years at least and many thousands of dollars.
Just be patient and don't go telling them they are not doing their jobs, these people are like you and me, they do this for a living. That could be you someday and you could be that person telling you that you are not doing your job. Please people, they are giving you the right to live and work freely, the least that you can do is have courtesy and patience.
Just something for you to think about.
