I know what you mean. However I would recommend anyone who hasn't already done so, kindly enter their timeline to the following website.

According to that, everyone who applied in April are yet to receive the biometric invitation. Mind you there are only few entries for April.

I hope they are not playing with us, this delay is unreal. People who submitted the application on 30th March already did their biometrics 3 weeks ago and we are still not on their system they say!!! What is going on?!!!

Another useless call to UKBA, regardless of 2.5 months wait been told to wait more for biom letter. Including same story of big number of application plus some cases takes longer to decide ...........................

Anyone got his Biom letter today? (just PSW applicant applied in April)

Yeah I was told the same thing, its not that some cases that take longer, its all cases that have been submitted in April that are taking longer. Its not right at all, we must do something now, otherwise they will take their own time and may even issue the letter a month from now! This means the visa will take until September or even October!! Is there anything that you can suggest we do? Write in a group complaint to the UKBA or approach some higher authority?

Did you take your MP's help? Still nothing happened? I don't know what they're doing, I hope they don't reject our application, really worried now :(

Hi guys,

As you know even I have applied in April.

My mom read an article in one of the south indian tamil newspaper couple of days before regarding the UK Visa.
It appears the backlog on all the applicatiosn is majorly due to the Tier 4 extension visa applications not just in PSW. The article also says all the backlog should be cleared in next 2 weeks.

Which seems to be valid information as my Girl friend's brother gave biometrics 6 weeks before for Tier 4 extension and he havent got the visa yet.
So lets hope that we get our biometrics in next 2 weeks.

Yeah, if you look in the timeline thread, the people who did their biometrics in the last week of March are getting their visa now!! Its been a two and a half months wait for them. I guess a similar or a longer timeline for us means that we will get the visa in September or October. And who knows when the biometric enrolment letter will come, the lady I spoke to didn't sound too optimistic, it could still take more than 2 weeks. It will be July by then!! :(

Well, seems all ladies are same as mine one, asked way too many questions by giving the impression maybe she has find me in her system ATLAST. But hay no luck again … after First name, middle name, Surname, nationality, DOB, Ref number, date when the fee deducted, date when I got acknowledge letter …. She ultimately broke-up news which I didn’t want to hear …. I AM NOT IN THEIR SYSTEM ………

Damn … all I wish they had a free number

Haha I think we spoke to the same lady!!! She was so dull, I really felt upset after I spoke to her. Unneccessarily took all that information and finally said I'm not in their system. She told me it takes more than 2 months to get the letter sometimes. I mean the SLA is 4 weeks so 2 months is unacceptable!!
