(Was told it would be straightforward due to being here 14 years, it has not been the case) I received an email today stating that no decision has been made yet on my application. Do not even know whether it is with a case worker

update, received another email very promptly saying that my case has not gone to a case worker yet

[azhfaq]

So how long does it take to receive an invitation letter? Just wondering, is it really 2 weeks?

Mine took 5 working days.

Much pleased today!!!

Hounslow council charges 200/ gbp for the private ceremony: I think it is probably one of highest in the UK.

Thank you.

My timeline.....

Acknowledgement letter dated 23 May 2013

Eligibility: 2 years HSMP + 3 years Tier 1 + 1 year ILR.

Self application.

Awaiting further progress...

[arjun_wp]

Congrats ukilrforman, I agree with you. I applied NCS via Hounslow and they charged 65 for it. I applied on 19th July and my application has not been forwarded to any case worker. Although I live in Reading but work near Hounslow, that the reason I opt for Hounslow.
Is there anyone in this forum who got his approval in a month time on applied via Hounslow?

Oh that is very good, congratulations. I am still waiting for my invitation letter and I phoned my local council yesterday to check in general whether they have received my certificate yet but they said me ...'sorry, they haven't received my certificate yet' And my Approval date was almost same time like you.

What is the date on your invitation letter ?

Thank you.

[dejidejan]

The date on the invitation is 24 July 2013. You should get your tomorrow or Monday I think

Hi ,
Everyone .Today i have spoken to Home office Croydon ,They said
My application is not yet Allocated to case worker after 6 Months also.
My question is :
Without allocation will they decide the application or
Only Case worker will decide the outcome.
Secondly Why it is not allocated after 6 Months also.

Have any one had the same Response from HO .

They even dont know how long it will take for the application .
I have spoken to 08706067766 General no of Home office.

Is your nationality from high risk country ? Not all but a huge number of applicant faces severe delay for nothing and majority is from high risk country. But it doesn't mean everyone will face delay from high risk. But I think according to forum evida and base of guessing business that they maintained different que for nationality of high risk country. And there admin worker sometimes doesn't follow this que. But it is my personal thinking, so I am not sure aabout my thinking. But when I applied in may I saw person who applied in july and june or mid or end may got approval letter before me. And when I emailed HO after 2 and half months answer was a caseworker not yet allocated. But then I received approval within 10 days. I will strongly recommend please get in touch with your local MP.
