[go2khurram]

can i request for those who have not filled or update the below sheet, please spare some time and enter your dates.... This is really helpfull for the people who are waiting for their application.

Thanks

Please find below the links for various timelines and the procedure to deal with the spread sheet.
I've used a few members details on it as a sample.

How do I put application timeline on skydrive?

Skydrive for ILR Excluding 10/14 Yrs

Skydrive for FLR(M)

Skydrive for Naturalization

Skydrive for British Passport

1. You need a Skydrive ID (Hotmail/MSN/Existing Email) Click here
2. Click Edit Workbook Menu
3. Select Edit in Excel Web App
4. Just add your details to the bottom of the table
5. Once done Click View and select Reading View.

NB: Do not insert any rows in between as this could affect the graphs to the right. Once you've added your details to the bottom of the table, the table can be sorted by "Application Sent Date" (Column B) Ascending and then by "Passport Returned"(Column G) Ascending.

No still waiting on the october application.

Just found out that even the 10 yr residence application are dealt within 7 months some where in the forum.

Its just the Set O is taking too longer than usual. wonder whats goin on..

Set (M) application is not taking really long. Only Set(O) is taking really long. Anyone got any update ? Any enhancement in the application processing?

Hi all

Any updates for november set o

Hi thanks for your reply. What really gets me is they say dont call until after 6 months and then we all get the standard reply your application is not completed yet u have to wait for UKBA to contact u , which is not helping in any way. they call this an update should employ a robot just to keep saying this. Will call them next week again.

[sanks]

Hi Memphis

Here is it is mate: rob.Whiteman@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk

I also copied in Theresa May and Mark Harper. Only Rob's office replied back and no reply from the other 2. Anyway I have kind of entered a frozen zone now. I really don't know what's happening and nothing really effects me anymore. Its will be 10 months in 2 weeks.

Best of luck mate.

Cheers

HI Sanks,

Do you have the email address where you send in a complaint?

I want to send in one as well. Just tired of this waiting game. Its over 7 months and 10 days.

Thnx

Just thought I will share this with you guys. I sent an email last week to CEO of UKBA and other ministers complaining about the state of my application. I received a reply from the secretary of CEO, apologising for the delay and saying because they received more than anticipated applications in July - August last year thats why those have been delayed. Also adds that they have employed more staff to tackle the issue now and hopefully the applications will be sorted out soon (not that I am interested in knowing if they employed more staff or not!) Anyway in the end she had mentioned that my email will be forwarded to the Liverpool caseworker team for them to have a look at it.

That was last week and nothing since then. As expected none of the other ministers replied. I am counting minutes and days now. Really really fed up of this game. I just want them to make a decision on my case.

Will keep you all posted.

[memphis_uk]

I am almost nearly the same date as yours. Got the acknowledgment on 25/10. Still waiting. not heard anything from them so far...

Not sure what to do now or how we can expedite the case.

Think they are very diplomatic in their answers.

They don't want to get in trouble by saying something silly, neither want to release any more information than they are allowed.

Hey congrat Ronhir,

Atleast you got in 6 months time frame on a postal set o application.

Sorry for those who been waiting for over 6 months, including me...

Guess they are prioritizing in some way or the other, specially the set m cases they are doing in less than 4 months. and in your case, may be 4 dependents came in your favour.

Not completely sure tho. Anyone more with dependents and still waiting over 6 months???

Please contribute ppl..

Hi Pheena,

Great news for u. congrats.

So ur waiting didn't go waste, as you got the naturalization in an other 2 months. good to hear that.

a quick question. for naturalization, you dont really have to wait an other 1 yr from the date you got the ILR? or do they count from the date you applied for ILR?

Let me know

thnx

Hi
To sacks and others waiting for over six month,
I know how it feels because I waited for over nine Months (set m) before I got my approval in march 2013. I didn't do anything except calling once after the six months mark just to make sure they my application was with them
then i kept praying and waiting until they finally sent my approval.

I applied for naturalisation in april and got my approval in may 2013
So just hang in there: delay is not denial and most times no news means good news.

All the best

[jojybaba]

Congra,,,it is good news for all of us who waiting and frastated for delay of naturlization if ILR approved late,,but your case give all of us good hope
