British High Commision in Phils

[Terpe]

Yes Terpe I did that last week.

I also got the Chief Immigration Officer to write them an email asking what was taking so long but they didn't even reply to him so what more CAN be done?

I feel really sorry about your situation. Like many other here I know just how upsetting it can really be.

How long have you been waiting now ?
How does that compare with the 'standard' service processing time of UKBA ?
Must be getting close to the maximum.

Robbie - I believe you applied a few days after us so you will be somewhere around 40 to 45 days - statistically only 25% or so visas are processed at 40 days, however 90% are processed at 60 days - ours was 45 days. You only count working days. I am sure you will get a response in the next week or so.

Hope this helps

Right!It seems like all the emails have moved someone over there.

The immigration in Guernsey called me up today to tell me they have received the referral.

However now Il be off to Phils on Sunday for 3 weeks and they said they might need to interview me regarding the application before they can make a decision.

What luck I have!!

They told me that there might not be need however as sometimes its just straight forward but they took my email address and told me they might be able to arrange an interview by email.How is this possible lol?

What difference will it make interviewing someone by email and not interviewing them at all?

I really don't see any sense.They said they could do a phone interview but they will not call me in Phils on a Phil phone so they said to leave it with them and they will email me what will happen next.Worst of the worst I will need to wait more weeks to come back then they will have to arrange interview before they come to a decision.I so hope they don't need to do it and just grant the dam application so maybe I could bring her back with me on my return.

Watch this space.................
