Second I would like to know is there any possibilities to give a feed back on UKBA and their wonderful service to the immigrants?

Is there any board or authorities responsible for UKBA? It has been continuous chaos on their system. There is no proper communication between applicants and department for years and years. And none cares about it.

Alright my status

Applied feb 13th next day delivery
Ackg. : nothing
Money deducted : feb 15th
Biometric letter : march 24th
Biometric done : march 28th
Documents : Waiting

Yes I do agree that it's our fault to come here and ask for a permission to stay. But the point in here is they didnt offered a free service we paid for it ,why they can't communicate with applicant ? Either refusal or approval!

Request to all others applicants please share your status of application so that it could help at least to some extent. :(

hi its still long way to go because ukba website still says ther are currently considering those application where applicant have attended biometric on and before 12th march since 10 days

Can anyone with a BT line call the UKBA and ask them about this kind of hibernation, is it as it is or just they forgot to update their website?
Its been 12th since ages. :?

Perhaps they are restructuring because of closing down the PSW department? But Tier 1 still exists. Hmmm

Documents recieved!!

Post by pipemoronv » Sat Apr 21, 2012 10:12 am

Hey guys. I've recieved my Docs. They come with a letter from the Home Office stating that the application has been approved and that the BRP will arrive in 7 working days! Thats enough for me to start looking for a job though..

My dates again are...

App sent: 26/01
Finger prints done: 15/03 [@ clapham]
Docs recieved: 20/04 [dated 19]

So dont trust the dates from the website..

In conclusion.. look for something to do while you wait 3 months after sending the app and stop worrying about it since thats the time you will have to wait.

When I checked just yesterday, the website actually said it was considering applications where biometrics were given on or before 3rd march!! And I checked twice or thrice in the day and it said the same thing.. SO yeah, they are having issues with the system and i wouldnt rely on the dates being posted out there.!

I was in agony until this morning. For all those waiting, as long as you believe your application was in order, its just a matter of time. You will all get yours. Keep calm and carry on.

Thank you all,
Atleast we came to know that the date is moving, may be it's just a laziness of department or a technical problem as usual.once again congratulation all of you.
