People if you don't know how to work on a spread sheet ask someone to do it for you!!!
This is the only way we can keep track of UKBA's progress.
Actually, anyone can delete the spreadsheet (for whatever reasons!), erm may be by accident! I think , we should have a copy of this on our computers if it happens! I am being cynical here

Most of you are aware that someone opened the spread sheet in excel application and forgot to save & close.
I had to reload the latest version, please check the spread sheet to see if any of your details are changed. If this is the case then please amend it accordingly. Please spread this word across.

How do I put application timeline on skydrive?
Skydrive for SET(O) 10 Yr Long Residence
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. 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.

So I have to keep on waiting.
Dear Nhbloke yes when i send my variation application i send a covering letter with it and mention that ukba already got may passport and other paper work with initial application you can make later on an other request to ukba to linkup your paper work with varied application on application i write down ukba already got may passports and papersnhbloke wrote:On SET (LR) form page 9 it says 'For the application to be valid and complete, you must provide your original currentasjid73 wrote:yes i applied for tier 1 Nov12 and varied that application 19/04/13 when i completed 10 years i have not received any decision so for hopefully i will receive it in few weeks but its bit complected withdrawing application is expensive but very easy you going to lose your fee but much quicker and easy any way you can carry on your studies even you have ILR statusnhbloke wrote:As I am intending to study full time from September 2013, I thought I would switch to Tier 4 before I apply for ILR.

on 31/08/2013 and you were becoming eligible for ILR on 24/08/2013 why you made tier 4 application and stuck your self in awkward situation.
as for i understand make ILR application asap before your leave expire and instead varying tier 4 application withdraw it as soon HO takes money form your account.
As for i know one person(METRO3) on forum successfully varied his application i varied my tier 1 application on 19/04/13 first application was made Nov 12 HO send me letter on 06/13 asking me which application
i want to take further i replied them my LR application should be considered which i varied from tier 1 application to preserve my right of LR ILR
In your case, do you mean you applied for Tier 1 in Nov 12, then varied to ILR on 19/04/2013 when you completed the qualifying period? Have you received a decision on your ILR application yet?
Many thanks
passport or travel document unless it is not available for one of the reasons specified on
the application form.'
Three options are given 1. Lost 2. Stolen and 3. Expired for both current and previous passports. No option is available to say 'passports already with UKBA'.
My question is, if someone has another outstanding application with UKBA at the time of ILR application, their passports will be with the UKBA already (as it is in your case), What can they do to get round this on the application? What did you do on your application? Did you write a cover letter to let them know that your passports are already with UKBA?
Many thanks
jony_dhaka wrote:Someone posted this a long ago. Not sure if its true .
The way UKBA works:
1) All applications are received in a center room and get diverted to 'initial consideration unit'.
2) If the caseworker at ICU makes the decision at this stage then you get your documants back within 2 weeks normally
3) If the caseworker cannot make the decision at this stage he/she forwards the case to the 'further consideration unit' or the case management unit.
4) Now the main waiting period starts at this point. Here at the FCU or CMU the junior case worker first looks at the case and he/she consults his/her possible decision with the senior caseworker or the team leader. Especially if the decision is refusal then they have to consult it to their team leader before post it back to applicant.
5) The case might wait in a queue on the team leader desk for a while
6) After the decision is made and consulted with the team leader the case goes to implemented queue in the post room where the paperwork is getting ready for post
7) A case might also wait in the post room for a while, that is why we see the visa date 1 month before the date we received the passport. because it got stucked in a queue in the post room.
When we call the home office the telephone agents are instructed to say one of the 3 things if we enquiry about the progress of our application:
1) The case is still not completed or still in process ( it might be anywhere between 1 to 5 above)
2) The case is in the queue waiting to be seen ( it might be anywhere between 1 to 5 above)
3) We have posted to you something this date ( the decision is made but they do not tell u the decision on the phone)
The telephone agents do not say anything else apart from these 3 template sentence, they keep repeating them like robots, lol. The telephone enquiry is just a waste of time unless you are calling them to ask for your passport to be sent back.
I check this forum and skydrive every Friday just to count the weeks past and to see whether someone's got a decision... its been the same picture for few weeks... there were only few refusals...ZEBRA wrote:Its nothing happening in UKBA actually.. maybe everyone is on holiday.Benito wrote:Nothing has changed on SkyDrive for 2 or even 3 weeks now (((
This is unbelievable...
I check this forum everyday maybe 5 times a day to see goodnews updates. Hope for the best
xshayaanx wrote:thanks for posting this. Very Useful information. This is their SOP. but how about the delays on simple and straight forward applications which could have been decided by the Junior case workers?
I think the system has gone into shambles and they really dont have a clue how to sort this mess. At the moment they are fire fighting.
What angers me most is, not only I am stuck here for my application, whenever I get my visa I would have apply for my wife's spouse visa. & Boy! they are also expecting time line for about 3-4 months. So. Like everyone else, I am screwed and this time my wedding is on hold.
THANK YOU UKBA! I will make sure I send the Home Secretary the wedding invite!

elcanja wrote:Hi Damanisshallo and everyone... I was here with you guys for few months a little while ago when I made my 10 year application on August 2012 and received it on March 2013. Once again , thanks a lot as this forum was very, very helpful.
Now, I'm going to apply for my wife's ILR, also under 10 years. Her case is pretty much the same to mine, no gaps, always in time applications and all.
My question is, I've seen that since the form has changed to SET(LR) and was wondering whether anything else has actually changed in the rules? I've seen that the form now includes requests for many documents such as GP registration, council tax, P60s, etc... Basically, if anyone could just clarify whether anything new is required?
Cheers
