hi,

I have also applied on 23/Oct and havent recieved any info. its good to hear that some of us got back the passports.
I am trying this number but there is a recorded message playing that currently all of our officers are busy, if you want to talk then call back later. and then the call ends itself.
Is there any one who luckily got the chance to speak to the caseworker?

Hi,
I gave them a call this morning. After holding for luckily for only 9 mins i got to speak with a member of the HO. i am not sure if i have spoken with a caseworker or not and i think that caseworkers are too busy to pick up the phone.
Anyway, they asked my ref number and confirmed some details. Also they asked me if its been more than 6 weeks or not. All they said is the application is under further consideration and you have to wait for a bit longer. when i asked how long they said they won't be able to give any timeline.

atleast i hope i get my pasports back before the christmas and new year holyday starts. otherwise it will be stuck for ages.

Hi,

Any good news, its been 7.5 weeks and i havent got my passport back.
I am also trying the HO number but no luck.
I am so stressed, can any one please help me, i was going through the forum, and i found that most of the fellows who got the visa, applied on uni, did any one who applied against college got visa?As i have applied against college and i m worrying that may be they are delaying the passport is that they are not giving visa to those who applied on college.

HELP PLEASE

Well,

Cambridge College of Learning call themselves CCL on their website here:

http://www.camcollege.co.uk/about.php?p=history
Historical background of Cambridge College of Learning…

Cambridge College of Learning (CCL) was established in April 2001. Originally, CCL only provided General English language courses, teaching the Cambridge syllabus, from the beginner level through to the upper intermediate level, with examinations being taken for the Cambridge First Certificate level (FCE) and Cambridge Advance level (CAE)
And, if you look at the BBC report here
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7775544.stm, you will see that they have blanked some stuff out, but note that it says "CCL" on a letter for a student reference........................

And lots of students (or are they?) have had there cases on hold for ages, according to what they have been posting here anyway!


That is it.

hi

Post by farzu23 » Thu Dec 18, 2008 1:03 pm

Hi,
Anyone got their passports back last or this week? I don't know what these HO people are doing. its been more than 7 weeks and they only says it is waiting for further consideration. when i called for the first time thay asked me if its more than 6 weeks or not, other wise they won't be able to say anything. Now they are saying the same thing to everyone.

I also heard that the post office workers are going on a strick from 20th Dec to raise their wages. if its true then we are doomed.

Now a days i am so frustrated that i don't even care if i get the visa or not. i just want my passports back.

HO said on BBC that they loose atleast 5 passports every single day. i am very scared.

Please let me know if any of you got the passports back recently.
