Maybe they will now get on and focus on some of the delayed cases of forum members.

Here's the address to contact John Vine at the ICIBI: http://icinspector.independent.gov.uk/contact/
DO NOT email. Write, and send a recorded letter. Keep the letter brief by using short bullet points not detailed sentences. State ALL the facts though, but don't waffle.
What does this do? No idea, but for those waiting it's someone else to complain to and will make them more aware of our problems.

Featured on Radio 4's Today programme this morning (including a guy telling of his problems with sorting out his Thai wife's visa).
The presenter raised some good questions (including what disgraceful service people were receiving, considering the extortionate fees charged).
This merely confirms what most of us were already aware of...that UKBA is totally unfit for purpose.
... well ... ONE thing's for sure ... the UKBA ain't gonna be in line for the coveted 'Investors In People Award' anytime soon!
UKBA will have had more bosses soon than Chelsea has had managers
2,100 cases were yet to receive an initial decision as to whether they could stay in the UK or not, some dating back to 2003
180 of these applicants wanted to stay for marriage or civil partnership reasons

Letter to John Vine will be on its way!

I thought the ukba being privatised would make a difference.

Thank you win2win,
i am going to be writing a letter of complaint, cheers for the address,
this shows how usless the UKBA ar, what a shambles and we are calling the uk a 1st world country.. Our front line is a joke,
For the first time I actually got through to the ukba after a 25 min wait, i mentioned my wifes mother has had 3 major stokes very recently and we did mention this in our ILR application, The woman on the phone (jamican?) said she cannot speak to us as its not been 6 months yet??????
So i said what on earth are we to do if she dies? you have our passports! She said nothing she can do , if its an emergency we should goto the website and follow the instructions there!!!!!1
This is TOTALLY OUTRAGEOUS, My blood is boiling from this incompetence
So we are stuck in uk with no passports and £991 out of pocket because the people paid to do a job are not doing it or there is not enough staff!!!!!
It's not privatised Andy but part of the Home Office. You are probably getting a bit muddled with the contract to track down overstayers and failed asylum seekers being given to CrapitaI thought the ukba being privatised would make a difference.
The existence of the Independent Chief Inspector was first highlighted by Terpe more than 2 years ago

CRAPita ... how appropriate!
Top marks to terpe!
I didnt know sorry
There's so much stuff on here it's hard to spot ! I just remember it was about that time because Terpe's post got me looking at that outfits website and I banged off an email to Vine and Teresa May. I have mixed opinions of Vine thinking his position was just one of those Jobs for The Boys as his previous role was Chief Constable of Tayside Police but he sometimes seems a thorn in the side of the shambolic UKBA. I wouldn't trust him though as he's criticised dawn raids on illegals, detention conditions etc. A nice earner at £140000 per year
unbelievable! some cases has not been finalized way back a decade ago! wow i was still in grade school that time
No amount of makeup can mask an ugly heart
...When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible...
If I'd been waiting since 2003 I'd be seriously pissed off.
Imagine waiting 10 years, married with 5 kids and being told your application was denied!!!
