thanks CDNgirl and Findshakil yes it is frustrating. @ CDNgirl they said'we canot find you on the system' which according to them when they send boimetric they put our details on the system so please wait. but he said because u have acknowledgment letter so you not need to worry and just wait.CDNgirl wrote:jbm
I am in the same situation, although you have been waiting a bit longer than me.Hello,
applied on 16 august still no Bio letter.
thanks
I called up again today to be told that they can not find my details on the system AGAIN...as I experinced the same situation last week when I called. However, I had called a second time last week(after being told they couldn't find my details) which put me through to someone else, who could access my details - but was unable to send out the bio letter.
Also, I was advised by the lady I spoke with today that I should send a fax into UKBA with all my details (refrence, D.O.B, nationality etc) and explaining how I've been told different things by different people from UKBA regarding my application.
It's just so frustrating!! What have they been doing for the last 9 weeks with my application and the last 12 weeks with yours! I know they are busy, but wow!
Well - that may mean there is slight hope for me...fingers crossed that I might recieve my bio letter in the coming weeks!CDNgirl,
I think I read that you sent your application form off on the 25th September?
That is the same day as my wife (Canadian citizen) sent hers off. Acknowledgement of receipt letter received in early October and her biometric letter came through last Wednesday. She did her biometrics on Thursday morning so now we're playing the waiting game.
We've got flights back to Canada for Christmas booked but looks like there is about a 5% chance of those coming off.
Hopefully yours will too. We have had my MP on the case for a few weeks as I requested my passport (sponsor) back for business travel at the start of October. The business trip that I was supposed to be on came and went last week and my passport still has not arrived (well over a month since requested).
Needless to say I am not too happy and neither is the company I work for.
I have another business trip to NY at the start of January.
What adds insult to injury is the utter contempt that UK BA staff seem to have for you when you speak to them on the phone, as well as being totally unable (and unwilling) to provide any practical help.
I haven't been able to get any information on why my passport was not returned within 20 business days, or if they've even added my request to whatever list they have (surely it doesn't take 20 days to photocopy a passport and put it in an envelope?!)
Thanks Skonky! Give your fingers a cross for meThankyou for ya well wishes ......cdn girl I wish u luck too and everyone else waiting
The fax number they gave me was 0114 207 2536. You need to include all of your details, ref #, name, D.O.B, nationality and situation.CDNgirl do you have the fax number where u going to send your detail, would u mind to share .
After getting all the critics in the news last week about their(UKBA) loop holes and incompetence, I was expecting a lot of turn up and goodnews...but rather everything went cold!!!ukp wrote:Hi ,
My wife applied for FLR(M) Visa on 17-May-2012 by post and completed Biometrics on 12-Jun-2012.
We tried contacting the number on Acknowledgement form and when give option to check the status of application, automated message comes saying that "applications less than 6 months can check their document status in Royal mail" and it hangs up.
Please could you let us know what number and option to use to check the application status.
Thanks in advance.
My wife applied on the same date and to speak to them you need to press option 4 i think than you will be directed to someone but they will say it is still under processing, nothing more you can expect from themukp wrote:Hi ,

Key dates
Applied July 2nd
Biometrics taken 1st of sept
Requested more documents 17th nov
Sent requested documents to UKBA 19th nov
Received everything back today with acceptance letter 26th nov
Holiday booked today
This forum provides a lot of support, and without it my worries would have been extremely higher
Thank you so much for everyone's input....it is amazing how much it helps.
The best thing about it is we are all strangers in the same battle...but helping each other through this stressful situation.

I think I was one of the first on this forum to have documents requested who applied in July.
I totally understand why they requested from me because when I received my first batch of documents back I hadn't really sent enough.
I hadn't sent 6 months earlier payslips and bank statements
I had just sent random ones over two years....no consistency lol
Plus my partner the applicant was in between jobs so on our form we had ticked he was unemployed...now he is!...so they probably wanted to see his recent payslips...and bank statements to back this up.
I think they are rushing through the pre 9th of July applicants now and not even sending out biometric invites to the ones who applied after that ,so they can hit great targets...it's just awful for those who have applied after 9th of July......
This is our second flrm and our first one took two weeks after biometrics submitted
So I'm expecting those who did apply after new rules will have a pretty fast response after biometrics are submitted
No doubt the Olympics had a lot to do with these delays.
Skonky wrote:which visa are you here on anyway? fiance?
If so u were already on the road to settlement and fall in the old rules.
I dont think they will ask for further documents from you as ya application isnt that far back.
Most feb applicants got asked mostly to prove they still together etc.
Like i said i really i think i got asked to submit mine as i hadnt sent enough initially.
If you already have submitted your biometrics you are in with a good chance of hearing very soon
GOOD LUCK
CSilver wrote:I have another questions for everyone regarding the extra documents UKBA requests when they finally look at your application - It seems they ask for payslips and bank statements for six months prior to the date of application..so as I applied in July is it six months previous to that date, or six months from the date of request?
I am very nervous now as my partner lost his job in August and I'm afraid they will reject it based on that, even though we can provide payslips and bank statements for years before that...

They ask for the most recent ones so from the date they request it you'll have to back date it to 6 months
You could ask a lawyer for advise I believe it'll be hard but you might still have a chance! Hope things work out for you. Did you request the payslips from you ?CSilver wrote:Does anyone know if this would be enough - I understand I am still under the pre July 9 rules - or will I be rejected as my sponsor isn't employed at the moment? I am so afraid I will be forced to go back to the States and get a job there and apply all over again...
Thank you for any advice.
CS, you seem to be convinced that UKBA routinely request extra documentation when making their decision? In fact, they rarely do so.CSilver wrote:I have another questions for everyone regarding the extra documents UKBA requests when they finally look at your application...
