SET(O) and SET(M) applications -Decembe2012 (timelines only)

[jeeboo1046]

I think they change words of reply every week to
Keep desperate callers in peace. They were saying "" in process"" 1month ago.
Then 3 weeks ago they started saying its with the "" processing team or
Working team"" and now they say it's "" not complete""
Yet. All of these replies have same meaning I.e. no one
Is looking at ur application. I just wonder what word
Or group of words will be used next week. Visa processing
May not have improved,but customer service is doing
Excellent work to keep us happy. I hope
For the improvement of visa service as well.

Hi, I called home office today as its going to be 8 months tomorrow since I applied for my ILR. The guy who attended my call told me that your
"" APPLICATION IS INCOMPLETE"" and still under process. Its the same reply which was given to me last week.

Congratulations, that's brilliant. Can you confirm whether you had to expedite your application via MP or any other means? Or did you get your application decided normally?

I called Home Office a couple of days back and they mentioned that the package is dispatched. Any idea how long it takes to receive the docs once they have been dispatched?

Just finished calling home office now. How it happened
.......
Why r u calling, answer: for ilr enquiry.
When did u call last time: 1 week ago.
When did ur leave expire: January this year
Ur ref: nationality: which category u applied:
Date of birth: did u receive any enquiry letter from
Home office. I said no. Etc
Then after that the guy told me ur application
Is "" not complete".
I asked what does it mean, it has been given
To a visa officer or not. He replied, I can't say
Anything bcz it's the only info coming on the system.

I call them ..and all question above are asked then advise me to send written request to where you got last response.
