Did you apply on ACCA Fundamental basis?

[ravi_zma]

I applied for Tier 1 - PSW Visa on the 3rd April 2012 and got my biometric invitation letter on 23rd July 12. Submitted them on 27th July.

I thot that all is done, until I received an email on 23rd Aug 12 saying, "Thank you for your application, which is currently being considered. Please note that we have identified a minor omission with regards to the evidence that has been submitted.

We are therefore asking you to submit

· The name and address of your employer"

I emailed it to them the same day and they have then sent an postal mail to my employer on 28th Aug 12 asking what do I work as and how many hours do i do etc. My employer has emailed them on the same day I guess, but nothing since then.

I am worried and each moment is like a year to pass. Has anyone faced similar issue? Does anyone have an idea as in what are these guys up to?

this is really strange tht why they need information regrading yr employer:: yah i applied on the basis of fundamental level and given my biometric mid april since then nothing happened:: I think they will take another 2 months :: but let see wat happens after tht:;

[malik5805]

one of the guy mentioned before on another thread that home office have lost the case on upper tribunal and now they will make changes to policy guidence regarding to the professional qualification and then they will issue visas to everyone but i am not sure where they upto because i think they are scrutinising the each application and
they are seeking more evidence and same guy mentioned tht he rang ho and they said to him it update on yr application on 20th august that they ned more evidence but thy not asked him any evidence :: i wonder where they getting evidences from if they wants to confirm from
acca they can comfirm over the phone.. hope allah swt make easy for us

[jason32]

how do they send the docs back? royal mail or dx?

[3April]

I received a scam call a few days back from a person claiming it is from UKBA. Said I forgot to fill some form when I entered into UK. Sent a letter and as I did not respond the visa has expired and that it will be sent for deportation with 2000pound charge. I was then told that if I transfer 512 pounds thru' Western Union that all will be fine. I wish someone posts this on tier 1 post study visa on facebook as I don't want to show my identity. They did a good job till they mentioned western union money transfer

Guys watch out for the scam.
