Hi, Mrs. JMajor,
My last one to them was last Thursday the 13th August which was our 17th week taking us into 4 months, I will let all know what date they say they are up to when they reply.
But of course they _say_ they have connection problems

I've already started
Just half an hour ago I've sent them e-mail again, this time kindly reminding them of their own customer standards set in their new Customer Charter issued in May and that I would expect some standard of service provided to us for the money we've paid to them

Lets see...

I've just phoned up +6328582398. It kept on ringing for ages, then stopped, then rang again, but in a different tone. A woman answered, so I tried to ask what date they're processing now for the Tier 4 visa applications, but she said she can't really understand English. I asked if it's the UKBIA that I'm calling. She seemed confused and said she doesn't really know what I mean. WTF!? I just hung up.

Read the charter at least you have evidence should you want to complain to a higher authority a phone call you do not

[greenbeltboy]

I've submitted an application on 07 August, 2009. Do you think that the July processing times will be applicable for my Tier 4 application? They haven't updated the processing times website yet, and it's the 18th now.

Hi, first - welcome in here Greenbelt

Second - sorry to dampen your hopes but there is a plenty of students currently waiting for their visa since MARCH 09 - see this thread:
NVQ Visa Processing time
I'm not sure if this applies to you as well...
Good luck to you and nerves of steel (you gonna need them)

Earlier, when I was complaining, the Tracking website was unavailable. But now, it says:

Processed application returned to courier

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm nervous.

Cheers, mate. I think I have mentioned it earlier, but sure.

I lodged my PBS - Tier 4 visa application last 07 August, 2009. I was one of the first people who arrived there, at around 5AM! Had to wait 'til 6:30AM to get inside the building.

[greenbeltboy]

LOL, I posted it in another thread. :P
