Wow, I thought I was the only one waiting for more than 6 months! I applied for a different visa (just a replacement of my student BRP as it was stolen), I submitted papers on the 4th of February and until this day I haven't received anything...
The worst part is, that after the 6-months limit passed, I called the UKBA and asked for a progress report (as stated in their website and in their call centre)... to my surprise they told me that "actually" is not six months, as the first one "doesn't count" so it means I have to wait until my 7th month (august) of waiting to be able to ask for a progress report...
So I'm just warning you, you won't be able to ask questions, not even after six months... outrageous and honestly, completely inconsiderate...
Good luck, I hope you get some news soon!

Here are my timelines.
Applied: 22 Feb
Acknowledgment: 27 Feb (generated 24 Feb)
Biometric Invitation: 24 March (generated 22 March)
Biometrics Given: 2 April at London Bridge PO
Since then... nothing.
I'm happy for everyone who is receiving their documents and visas back, don't get me wrong. But it is SO disheartening to see people who have applied and done biometrics months after I have, who are receiving their documents back. I know I'm not the only one in this position, and this is really horrible.
I'm thinking of just requesting my docs back and leaving the UK forever. But I've heard that just receiving documents back now can take months, even though it says 20 days on the website. Can anyone help me out on this? How long does it take to receive documents back after requesting?
Thanks, everyone.
Also... SIGN OUR PETITION to stop the UKBA's mistreatment of international students!!
