hello vrashta i need a little help from you i chose postal order as a method of payment would you please let me know how to check if your postal order has been cashed by HO or not? i sent my application nearly 3 weeks ago i still have not recieved ack letters thanks
Hi Ali 7777

Have they encashed your postal orders yet? I am in the same situation, I've applied on 22nd. They recieved the application on the 23rd and got some called JENKINS' sign on the royal mail proof of delivery. But as of yet they haven't encahsed the postal order. This is seriously frustrating.

Let me know if you get any further update.

Gryphon.

I did my biometric on the 5th of March, still nothing. Does anyone know of a situation similar to this? I don't think its a good sign if an application has been outstanding for this long. Can anyone give me any sort of indication of what could be wrong? Not knowing is just very horrible.

I've done my biometrics on 3rd of March, still nothing aswell...
I also called UKBA about my application status, however they said that they can't give any information about it. It has been more than 2 months since I applied.

The ukba doesn't give any information. Golekipro: when you say bad do you mean you think something is wrong with my application? I did everything right, at least to the best of my knowledge. Placebo how are you holding up? I'm slightly consoled that I can share my experience with someone. I've almost given up, it's just very frustrating when I can get no info.

Akk1441 thanks for sharing your own experience. I guess that means you got your documents 7 weeks after your biometric enrolment? I sometimes wonder if delay means a refusal or a problem with the application. Thanks for your words of encouragement, I really need them now.
