my friend applied on 28th and app was received by HO on 29th. Ack was received by my friend on 12 Feb dated 7 feb. (also paid by postal orders)

Nothing yet ... and its 5th week!

Keep us updated

PS: How do you know money was deducted on 12th when you made an app via postal order. There is no way for you to trace back postal orders

You can chase it up and know when it was tendered for payment with the counterfoil. It is a bit electronic payment instrument that cash(note)

A friend applied 26th Jan, received by HO 27th Jan, he did not enclose return envelop. but he received acknowledgement something around 11 - 12th Feb. and again an email last week asking for a confirmation. according to HO website, they are processing applications received on or before 27th, Yours did not fall within this time range, but at least you would have received acknowledgement letter.

you can dial 01246542500 (the post office) and give them your postal order voucher ID. They will tell you if the postal orders have been cashed in or not.

Mine was cashed in by HO on the 12 of Feb.....

A friend applied 26th Jan, received by HO 27th Jan, he did not enclose return envelop. but he received acknowledgement something around 11 - 12th Feb. and again an email last week asking for a confirmation. according to HO website, they are processing applications received on or before 27th, Yours did not fall within this time range, but at least you would have received acknowledgement letter.

But i have read somewhere from this forum and others that sometimes HO just didnt send out Ack letter....

I am sure they took the money though which means they def receive it....

And I dont think I can do anything except 4 waiting and praying.....

still nothing

Post by vennimt » Tue Mar 09, 2010 10:52 am

today 09/03... and I am still waiting :-( -- sent my application on the 25th Jan.
Don`t know why it`s taking so long....
Can it be due to the fact that the fee was deducted more than 2 weeks after I sent the application (12th feb) - so the consideration of my application was delayed. ???
I`m very worried now...

Yes but they said they need to further investigate and asked 12 months bank statements which I sent on 21/01/2010 and received by them on 22/01/2010...

How did you go about in removing the suspicion? did you, for example, tell them that you were studying for such and such period and your attendance record can be confirmed by uni for that period i.e. showing you could not possibly be working.Something along those lines...

You certainly provided the requested info which hopefully shows that you never did full time work but maybe you think you could have extra info to remove their suspicion?

They cannot reject you purely on suspicion but they have power to investigate through different sources/government departments and that is why you are getting delayed service.

Beside, who knows, they might be receiving loads of applications around this time of the month hence the delay....

what about your payment? did you pay 700 pounds on the spot? or 500 pounds more when they said they need more evidence?

regards

PS. How much did you earn legally in last 12 months and was it all legit i.e via bank transfer or cash in hand????

Hello,

Not more than about £900 a month. I paid £700 on spot for same day service but they said they'll referred it...

I send letter from place where I am working (part time before completion of degree) and bank statements with personal explanation letter.

Worked all legit no cash in hands and no odd jobs....

earning 900 pounds a month after working for 20 hours a week? Thats like 225 pounds per week or 11.25 pounds per hour assuming you worked 20 hours a week!

Thats a lot for someone who is supposed to be a student but I am sure you had your reasons and knew what you were doing while earning this much on student visa.

Well, all you can do is just wait really. my friend applied on 29th and he has yet to receive his psw visa although other people who applied on 30th or even 1 feb have already got it... So.. i am afraid we just have to wait and see out this waiting period.

I mean about £900 some time £800 some time £850 depends on how many hours I work for them (no more than 19.5 hours per week), was doing software design/support... not odd job that why....

And yes I am waiting :( that's all I can do.... :(
