Hi Everyone,

With my SET(LR) application, I used ETS test, that I passed in 2012, and now homeoffice has suspended all ETS tests. I've also sent them my IELTS test result that expired in 2006. Do you think I'll be ok? or should I do another test, in case?

Thanks guys!

Uptil now i was told when ever i called HO that my application is incomplete means still work has not been started on my application. Day before yesterday i was told that that case worker got all my documents and the case is with case worker.

So dont know what game the are playing but its frustrating that Oct ppl getting there decision and we are still waiting. Happy for every one who got there decision.

So I called up the Home Office just now to ask the status of my application and they said it has NOT been allocated to a case worker yet :(.. So I am sad and depressed but I have done some analytics using our skydrive data on the September applicants...

Only 11 of us remain outstanding, 49/60 (81%) have been completed and October applications have started trickling in now.

1) The average processing time for September applications is 20.1 weeks

2) The average processing time for COMPLETED September applications is 19.8 weeks, however that includes one application that was completed in 9 weeks, if you take that out the average drops to 20.08 weeks.

3) The fastest processing time was 9 weeks as mentioned above for user "One day" (applied on 5th Sept and approved on 9th Nov.)

4) The longest processing time so far is 23 weeks for user "fahmeeda52" (applied 4th Sept and approved 13th Feb)

5) 43% (21/49) applications were processed within 20 weeks, 22% (11/49) within 19 weeks, 20% (10/49) within 21 weeks and 8% (4/49) within 22 weeks.

6) The average duration for the 11 outstanding applications is 21.18 weeks.

7) Of the outstanding applications "esmsi" has waited the longest at 23 weeks and "kunal.parikh" & "Jah_bless" the least..both at 20 weeks. Going by the trend above, "esmsi" should hopefully receive his any moment now and the rest of us should receive ours within 23 weeks as the UKBA haven't breached the 23 week mark yet (here's hoping!)

8. Of the outstanding applicants, 6 of us submitted our biometrics after 15th October and 5 before.. so I can't see a correlation there unfortunately, it looks like the biometric enrollment date theory may not apply to us..

Hope this helps people, I was absolutely fine with the wait until I breached my 4 month mark and started seeing people who applied after me receiving their approvals. I am now officially a nervous wreck lol and have to say that this has been one of the most frustrating and emotionally draining periods in my life.

Congratulations to all the successful applicants over the last few days and I give all my love, hope and prayers to the remaining 11 September applicants.. .

Hi,

Any of you ( September applicants who are waiting) have any complex situation in your case, such as overstayed etc...

If it is then it will take longer.

but not to worry you all will get eventually.
