Hi,Mp046 wrote:I applied on 15th march ... It is 8 days by today but money is not Yet deducted from my account .. Can any guide me what to do now
That seems to be the trend as of recent, Biometric letter is recieved after 4-6 weeks and documents are recieved 3-5 weeks after that, but as we all know there is no fixed timeframe and with the application influx increasing waiting period could get longer.saliame wrote:Hi,
Could anyone please suggest?By going through the above timings, is it okay to assume a normal TAT of 2 months, i.e. one month for biometric letter and one month after that??

I have given my biometrics on 27th feb .. still nothing ...placebo wrote:Hi all,
Is there anyone who have given their biometrics on or before 3rd of March and still waiting? I am wondering if it's only me still waiting. Called UKBA and they said they can't give information about my application and I just have to wait...

That is a great piece of info .. however, I have one questionpromosorous wrote:Hi Guys, I gave my biometrics on 10 Feb, and still no response from the UKBA. I have been going through immigration boards and UKBA website and came up with the following theory. Hope this helps.
PSW process is divided in 3 stages.
STAGE 1
This stage begins when you submit your application, and ends when you receive the biometric letter. The timespan for this stage should be no more than 5 weeks. If you don't receive your letter by than, you can call home office and request for a new letter.
STAGE 2
This stage begins on the date you submit your biometric and ends in 4-5 weeks. By the end of this stage either your application gets processed and your documents are returned, or in a worse case you hear no response from home office and you reach the third stage.
STAGE 3
If you are in this stage, this means that some of your documents are being reviewed or verified. The link for details of this process is (read page 4 of the document) below. This means that in a worst case scenario, the review process can take 4 weeks according to home office, and you will receive your documents in fifth week.

Processing time posted by UKBA, they update the date (currently 5 March) every two weeks: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas ... tingtimes/
On 19th March UKBA updated their website claiming that they are considering applications till 05 March (applications for which biometric has been submitted). They update the date information after two weeks. Considering your timeline, I would say you were at the lower end of the queue on 5th March. Plus the information that I gave above does not includes delays due to huge volume of applications. So I would say wait for 2 more weeks before considering that you are in the verification stage. Plus even if you are in the verification stage the worst case scenario takes four weeks. If you are lucky verification can be done even in one week. Hopefully you will not have to be in the 3rd stage and will get your visa soon.AK1441 wrote:That is a great piece of info .. however, I have one questionpromosorous wrote:Hi Guys, I gave my biometrics on 10 Feb, and still no response from the UKBA.
