I just received a DXSecure "important delivery" notice today because I was away at work. I have to rearrange the delivery next Monday. Is that going to be BRP? I did my biometric on Apr 11th.

It is quite likely. Some guys did receive BRP before docs. Good luck!

Application Made:15 march 2012
Acknowledgment letter:01 april 2012
Bio metric:10-april 2012
Bio-metric done: 18 April 2012

I have lost all my patience,i dont know what to do,all my mates who applied first week of april and last week of march got the visa.but i havent got any reply from ukba

I was just wondering,I was on appeal for tier 4 student visa extension.i had withdrawn my appeal and applied for tier 1 psw visa.

thats why am bit worried,i cant even make call regarding this issue.

really ukba is playing with my pulse.every single day i open immigration board forum,to see who is getting doc and brp,any information but all are happy other than me......

There are some people who gave biometric on 14th may received visa last couple of days. I did the same day but still no feedback from UKBA. :(

BTW i moved my house last month I'm going to my old address every two days.
Who's going to deliver the documents? What happen if I'm not at home to collect the documents or card? are they going to left a card with info?

UKBA returned my docs on Sep-9-2011 saying that they were unable to take money from my account. I resubmitted on 13-9-2011 with fresh bank statements and postal order for visa fees. Got bio letter after a month, given on Oct-25-2011. Since then I've been waiting. Even contacted MP but he said he can't help and I have to wait for my turn. Meanwhile I got my degree n eligible for PSW. My visa expired on Aug-3-2011.

Applied for PSW (through solicitor): April-3-2012
Ack letter received: May-5-2012
Bio letter received: July-21-2012 done on same day
Solicitor got a call from UKBA caseworker asking for which appli they should proceed with: Aug-16-2012
BRP received by solicitor: Aug-20-2012
Docs: Waiting

Only strength i get is from this forum,with peoples discussions.

Today i spoke with my MP,they contacted UKBA behalf of me,as mother was sick.

in simple words:ukba said,if u r so hurry...take ur passport and leave the country,we wont even give ur application fee.even MP reference doesnt work here.we follow the process. only ur close relatives death than we ll look into your case.just wait for your turn.they said,they are following boimetric wise,i have done my one in mid of april,lot of people got who has done bio metric in july also.

i was shocked,even my solicitor wont respond,i am in shit place,i cant stress,as i was on appeal.IS THERE ANY ONE,WHO WAS ON APPEAL,VISA EXPIRED,APPLIED FOR PSW.
FEELING TO SCREEEEMMMMMMMMMMMM
THANKS
