Yeah guys..here is the situation. i got my BRP on 25/4 right? and yet no documents. I rang UKBA and used the application more than 6 months option to speak with one of there advisers. she told me that my documents were sent on 30/4 (Monday) can you imagine that. lol they are so careless, and now i have to wait and expect my documents on Thursday or Friday :)

btw Beeth and Nanku, they send our documents via recorded signed for second class. needs 3 working days to get delivered and its untraceable. Call the UKBA and choose the option applications more than 6 months just to get the chance to speak with one of there operators, then provide your case reference number and tell them you got your BRP card as i did, then the operator will tell you when your documents were sent out...keep me posted guys :)
Same here. I received my BRP on 30th April(dated 25th April) and when I rang UKBA, they said they have posted my documents only yesterday. Can you believe that!!
Ive got my BRP on 25th April (Dated 21st buddy). The UKBA just remembered to sent out my documents the day before yesterday 30/4. its unbelievable, i cant believe this..and now lets hope that royal mail will deliver those within 3 working days as mentioned on their website. The UKBA wont let you wait only for a decision, as well as, you have to wait for your passport and documents to be dispatched and sent out from their offices.. daaaaaaaaaarn

Even I am in the same situation. My timeline is as follows:
Application submitted: 1st March 2012
Acknowledgement letter: 7th March 2012
Biometrics taken: 5th April 2012
Documents: waiting
BRP: waiting

has anyone submitted their application around this time? Also, I was wondering, is there anyone whose visa has been refused after Biometircs? just curious! :idea:

hello mate, I did my biometric as well on 04th of April 2012 at Cardif PEO. The barcode letter I received for biometric was not readable at the post office, called UKBA and asked me to book an appointment :( Otherwise I'd have given my biometrics in 30th of March.. Anyway no news yet.. hang on and please post me if you get anything.. cheers

Sorry, I just tried this number and there is no option for post study works visas...Only for work permits for Bulharian/Romanians and citizenship issues......

Chasing UKBA and DX courier services have made my life hell ! :x Now I have even finished my calling credits trying to get past the automatic voice and waiting period on the phone :( My BRP was supposed to deliver on 30/04 but they did not turn up and now after having re-booked the delivery, I am still waiting the whole day and still no sign of the DX person !! :x Looking at Raptorroz's and bhamblues' cases, God knows if I will ever get to see my BRP and passport as maybe the documents have not yet been dispatched from UKBA!!! :evil:

I have called UKBA on 2nd april to return my passport for identity purposes but they have not returned it yet, i have called them again on 30th april to inquire about it and was told that she put a remainder about it.

UKBA said that returning my passport will not effect process of my visa application. But i am worried whether this is the reason why my BRP is getting late?

Can anyone help???
Hey rajesh0428, have you got your passport back? I called the UKBA last week and they told me that If I need my passport back, it would take NO more than 4 weeks to arrive.. maybe I'll ask them for mine back, but I don't trust them... it might take longer than waiting for my visa and everything... just that I'm desperate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(

The same with me: I did my bio on 19th March and no response so far at all. However, I think it is just a matter of time and patience. Inshallah we will all be granted PSW :P

After observing the situation with visas, I can conclude that either documents or visas arrive at the beginning or by the end of every week. So, lets assume that we still have the chances of getting ours by the end of the the current week. And I would also suggest you to send an email to DX to check if there is an expected delivery waiting for you ;)

Beeth_ven listen to me...Call the UKBA line, press the option "Applications more than 6 months" and talk to one of the advisers. ask them that ur BRP is with DX courier and you are still waiting for your document. Take the reference number of your documents recorded signed for mail and save it in case it was delayed. Dont worry. you will get yours within this week :)
And to others asking about my documents. I did call the UKBA and they told me my documents were sent out on Monday 30/4/12 and i got them today at 11:45 AM.
Dont worry friends, Always allow up to three working days to get your documents back and again.. Best of luck :) :)

Thanks Raptorroz! The problem is that now I don't have enough calling credits to call up UKBA or DX couriers as it was all spent on chasing them for my documents :( I can't even get out of the house as I have to wait for the DX delivery the whole day!! It is still not here but I have to still wait.... If someone could kindly help me out, could you please call the UKBA and DX couriers on my behalf? I can email you my details.
