well .. i am running out of patience ..promosorous wrote: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. 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/
I have submitted my biometric on 27th feb .. so next week will be the 5th week...
now if i dont get it in the next week ... do u mean that I will have to wait another five weeks for the documents ... or u r calculating 5 weeks from the biometric submission date ..
kindly explain ..
Thanks and Regards
PS: I calculated the timeline of each stage separately, and you move to the next stage after one stage is completed.

i am contemplating call back of documents
