Stage 2 waiting times

Stage 2
185

Hi all, I’m based in the UK (London) and have been waiting almost 4 weeks now. Curious if any other UK based people are willing to share their timelines for receiving the approval, after they submitted their biometrics? Thank you!

How do we join the tech nation alumni group ?

Hello,

I did my biometrics on 17th July (priority) and got it next day , 18th July (inside UK)

thanks

So do you think it is worth paying for the Super-priority service (800£)? Could you please also let me know if you received your BRP or when it is expected? Thanks for your responses

Hello Eve,

I did priority (not super-priority) and got the approval email the next day only.

I received BRP after 2 days of approval email.

Thanks

Thanks so much for your reply. I think about submitting my application this week. Is it hard to get a biometric appointment, or were they plenty available for a next-day appointment or a close date? Thanks

Hello Eve,

Appointments were limited (irrespective of priority). I have to change locations ( my appointment was 2hrs away from my place) to get an early appointment.

Thanks

Thanks so much for your reply. Did you apply in London? I am asking to know if I should expect a similar experience. Were priority appointments available? Thanks!

194

Hey Eve,

yes, I applied for the London centre.

Thanks

Hi mates, we (I and my wife) applied on 28.11 outside of the UK using the Priority service and still have no decision.
What do you think, should we write a complaint or it will only cause a delay?

We also have a letter saying the application was not straightforward, but everyone tells me that’s the usual letter.

You may need to call UKVI paid line.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have called them, and they said since it has not been straightforward, I should wait up to 3 weeks from the date the email was received. They also added now it will be processed as standard (not priority). It makes me crazy a bit about the process…
So, I will wait or use the keep my passport service.

I am in the same situation as you. I applied on the 28th within the UK, also from a Tier 2 visa. I received an email notification stating an 8-week timeline for a decision to be made within 2 weeks of my application submission from the Home Office. I am quite hopeful regardless.

Not yet. Decision will be made within 8 weeks.
