Dated 21 November 2012

1. What is the number of Applications received between 15th June to 22nd June 2012?

A total of 633 SET(O) applications were received between 15 and 22 June 2012.

2. Have all such applications have been processed successfully or is there a pending back log of applications from earlier months? If so, how many are pending?

Of the 633 SET(O) applications received, a total of 137 have been decided and 496 are still pending a decision.

3. If an application is made in Mid June 2012, based on your current processing timelines, when can the applicant expect to hear from UK Border Agency with a decision.?

It is not possible to give a specific timescale for concluding any application because UKBA commissions various checks dependent on the nature of the application made and the individual circumstances in each case. The time involved in this varies because the enquiries that have to be made can be complex and extensive, involving other government departments and agencies both inland and overseas.

However, I can advise that the average processing times for decided SET(O) postal applications received between 15 and 22 June 2012 was 75 calendar days. The average processing times for decided SET(O) postal applications received in June 2012 was 86 calendar days.

any updates for June applications...??????????????

Okay, I've created an account just to reply to you

1. Date application posted: 14/06/2012
2. Date application received at UKBA: 16/06/2012
3. Date payment debited: 19/06/2012.
4. Acknowledgement letter received: 20/06/2012
5. Biometric letter received: 08/08/2012; done next day 09/08/2012
6. Number of dependents applying at the same time: 0
7. Request for bank statements 20/12/2012 (dated 13/12/2012, they had P60, payslips & employer statement of earnings...)
8. Sent letter requesting processing due to ill family 24/12/2012
9. Received passports, documents & letter of notification - application has been accepted - 05/01/2012 (dated 02/01/2012, sent 2nd class just to be annoying?)
10. Now waiting to receive actual BRP

Over six months, but the BRP should arrive in the next 7-10 days. The only wrinkle in my application was that it was one week late - check the visa expiration dates in your passport, people! - but that was within the HO guidelines to accept.

Can't say how angry I am with the Tory govt. for destroying the BA with the austerity cuts - 1/3rd of employees made redundant without consideration for the consequences on immigrants or the efficiency of the agency. It was poor before, but never this disfunctional. If my partner wasn't resident, I'd have told them to f themselves and gone home.
