Yep, signed delivery envelope attached. I hope they use it as I've read of other people's experience where they've included an envelope however it was never used!

Still waiting. Very anxious now as I'm booked to travel next week!

Approved!
Applied 18th Feb
Decision made 7th April
Doc's recieved 8th May. I had requested courier pickup by fax, email and phone but this request was ignored. Good luck to everyone still waiting.

The wait goes on and on and on....

11 weeks and counting. Most applicants around 18th Feb have received approvals already

Don't give up cantwait. 10 weeks and counting for me. It's frustrating when other people who applied after me are getting approved, but you just have to ride it out.

Anyone from 18th Feb or earlier still waiting?

Can you please tell me how to arrange a courier pick up.

Use MBE http://www.mbe.co.uk/centre_forms/Home_ ... ation.aspx

Anyone in the 251xxx range (18th Feb) yet to hear back?

I spoke to the HO again today...the lady gave me a ref number again and said that my application hasnt been assigned to a case worker yet. When I asked her if she could tell me when was it that it is most likely to be assigned, she bluntly replied that the applications could take upto 14 weeks ...

I too applied on 18th Feb - 2513xx Applied from Australia

Not sure, looks like they are retain the Indian citizen applications. Any comments on this

What do you mean by this? I also have a reference number of 251xxx, and have applied from Australia. I checked the status two weeks ago and it was still under consideration.

Did you request a courier to pick up your documents? I applied a day before you and am yet to hear anything.
