Usually 4 weeks, could be longer depend on the queue and season.

Give it 4 weeks and check your COS status. If its changed from "Assigned" to "Used" then a decision has been made on your application (Positive or negative) and you can hear from them within days.
In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on :)

Guys,

There is something I would like to share with you anxious lot....this is something I discovered but really don't know how effective it may be..

As we know the documents are coming through DX secure couriers, I researched thier website a bit and there is an email address you can send your query to check if they have any courier for you in the post. I had sent them an email this morning and got a reply by 2pm..which is not bad...Also most of you have done your Bio around 6-7 and I have done mine on 10th so you are more likely to receive it soon.

Send them the email on

tracking@securemail.co.uk

In the body send them
1. Full Name
2.Address
3.Post Code
4. Sender of the item is (if you know this): UKBA Home office

Hopefully you might get to know before you receive your parcel or when it will arrive.

Note:- DX courier normally has our parcel only for 2 days before they get delivered to you.

Hope this helps...Patience is virtue (I keep reminding my self..but not doing a good job)

OK Guys good news- I have just received my Biometrics card and the passport is on its way and hopefully I will get it tomorrow. I will be updating the sticky timeline once I have everything by tomorrow. Also, interestingly I asked my HR to check my COS status history yesterday and apparently someone in UKBA used my COS at 8.15 am on 03/03( sat)...strange, Good luck rest of you guys.
