True, at the rate at which the HO is covering grounds as per payments, if the January 2014 payment gets cleared that will leave the HO with end of Oct, Nov, Dec and January approvals to clear out........

Timing is everything.... If you think that majority of the early October 2013 applications got approved within three weeks

Eligibility criteria: ILR
Current nationality: Jamaican
Method of application: Self (1st Class Recorded Delivery)
Date of application: 23/10/2013
Payment method: Debit Card
Date of receipt by UKBA: 24/10/2013
Date of acknowledgment: 19/12/13 (dated 12/12/13)
Date of debit or clearance of fees: 12/12/2013
Date approval received: Received 11/01/14 (Dated 08/01/14
Date of ceremony: 29/01/14

Hi Guys, I recently posted that my ceremony was said to be on March 26th 2014, However, when I sent of my slip for people who I wanted to be invited I never received the confirmation back. So I phoned my local council this morning to confirm where my invitation slip for my guests is and when the woman pulled up my name on the system she thought it was strange as my ceremony is tomorrow the 29/01/14 and not march the 26 and that somewhere they made an error which they sincerely apologized for. Thank God I phoned as I wouldn't have known because really and truly I thought march 26th was so far away after being approved BC on the 8/01/14 by HO.

Have a good day guys and I continue to wish everyone good luck on here with their BC

Looking like it's going to be another quiet day as per approvals..... I wonder what exactly is happening, faulty printers?

Hi, i think all the staff are busy in taking payment that why they have reached to Jan 2014. Its unpredictable how the system is working its just an assumption. Looking forward for positive reply

Got you mate!

On a positive note, not talking about money this time, I foresee a massive shipment of approvals before the end of this week, late Oct and early to mid Nov folks watch out!

[jotter]

My guess is that to avoid confusion by caseworkers, once they are up-to-date with the deductions (which they pretty much are) they'll split the team into one group that focuses on the remaining pre-KOLL applications and another one that starts on post-KOLL. So I expect we'll see early Nov approvals coming through at the same time as the remaining Oct 25th applications.

I agree...

Hope so ..,,,,,

[dr_me]

Friends lets hope that all Oct applicants will be sorted by the end of this month maximum by 1st week of Feb
Cross dates on your calendars between 6/7weeks from the date of debit of your fee for NCS applications and 5/6 Weeks for Postal applications before anyone starts worrying about it

[TTOE]

Thank you all
I will update after my work , my wife has recieved that , many thanks

Please update us as soon as....

Many thank!

[TTOE]

Not to disappoint anyone but someone said that it can take up to April or beyond to clear OCT applications. I doubted though
So friends lets hope that all Oct applicants will be sorted by the end of this month maximum by 1st week of Feb

Are you kidding us?! April or beyond....

Anyway we thought so with fees deduction some few weeks back but the HO decided to disappoint us, let's pray they disappoint that someone that said so in this instance as well

[dr_me]

TTOE I hope that it will be usual turn around time for all applicants. The FOI request (posted in Nov timeline) response from HO also states that they are not experiencing any delays with the application processing. So I am sure we will all be getting the approvals very shortly.
