I posted my Tier 1 PSW application on 15 Jan and provided biometrics on 5 Feb. Since then, I haven't got any response from the Home Office....It's been more than 1 month from the day I provided the biometrics and more than 2 months from the day I filed my application. Is this waiting time normal? Should I be worried? ....... Are there any way I can check the progress of the application? Any suggestion? Thnx

from what I knw it should take just about a month, this is not unsual but you should try chasing them

Thank you for your comments and advice...But do you know how else can I chase them?
I called them, I sent them a letter, I faxed them.... It doesn't seem to work at all; they said they can't do anything if it's still less than 14 weeks from the day I provided my biometrics.

you just have to wait. if they can't make a decision on the day at the PEO then your application can take just as long as it would be if you had applied by post, at the moment generally at least 4 weeks from when you give biometrics.

did they tell you why they couldn't make a decision on the day?

I actually applied by post. I didn't go to the PEO.

Is there anyway else i can request for expedition? It's been more than 11 wks already from the day i posted my application. Any suggestion how should I chase them?

Sorry must have misread your first post saying you applied by post.

Its the date you gave your biometrics you should count from. It busy time of year for psw. 4-8 weeks is average at the moment. As stated above you need to be patient.

contact your local MP.

MP's gives UKBA slap on a wrist, on your behalf, saying wtf are you doing with this person application. and force them to put your application on the top of the caseworker's pile!

thats what i would do

Thnk u for your advice. I already informed my local MP of the matter. Hope it works somehow.... I've been waiting for more than 11 weeks already

........ If anyone experienced or knows anyone who experienced this before, please do share your experience (ie. what did you do, how long did you wait altogether, and did you know what caused the delay)
