Hang in there mate I did my Bio on 24 March at Camden town as well. Should not be too long now hopefully within 2 weeks. I think there is a 80% probability of us receiving it next week but then you never know with snail pace with which the application are being processed. It funny though how people who have done their Bio in April are expecting their stuff within 2 or 3 weeks I applied on Feb 1 people and I am expecting it within 2 or 3 weeks. Wake up and get a grip people false hopes adds to frustrations.

I do hope you realise there is something known as an 'exceptional' case which takes longer at times..! And theres no harm in keeping the faith alive , is there now ?? :D
By all means keep the faith alive everyone here at this forum has faith I believe but be realistic at the same time. If you are expecting it every day for 5 weeks it adds to the pressure and frustration. I think the very purpose of this forum is to make a rough estimate when the application will be processed by looking at the time it took to process other people applications. Isn't it?

But thats exactly how the rough estimate was made! If people who gave the biometrics in the week 19-24 march are getting their docs this week, then by that calculation, the ones who gave them in April should expect them anytime soon, in the next 2-3 weeks ?? Again, I may be wrong but who's to say which one of us is right here ? Agree ? :)

I agree as well as disagree mate. My heart wishes that you were right but my head says you are wrong. I wish you were right and I was wrong as it is positive for all of us but unfortunately this is not a perfect world and it does not work that way. they are not processing the applications at the same rate by which bio metric were taken. it has taken them three weeks to move on from people who gave their biometric between 12 and 19 to people who gave there biometric between 18 and 23. You and I both did biometrics on 24 at the same place but I think my application will be processed in next 2 weeks (although I want to receive my stuff tomorrow if not today) but at the same time hope you are right. My estimates say at least 8 weeks (and increasing at their present speed of processing) after biometrics
