I guess we are in all this together.... the system is taking quite long... a friend of mine was approved after... wait for it... one and a half year... after this he returned his approval letter... and told them how pissed off he was... anyway... i hope we dont have to write a similar letter... fingers crossed ppl... lets hope for the best...

yanika... how come you recently applied and your reference number is from the 24xxxx series???

I Know few ppl , who got initia approval after 18-30 months and after that when they applied for EC they got refused within few week. how sad and cruel...

hi Hoping for HSMP. Listen i read somewhere about your question : Does BHC accept mutual fund statements or not please reply
regards
 Posted by hopingforHSMP on 11 Sep 2008
@masrooromar

They do not accept mutual funds... JUST CASH... the only thing we can submit is a bank statement with the amount neccessary for 3 months... with regular transactions...

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/workingintheuk/tier1/general/supportingevidence/maintenance/

Specifically what is written below:
If you are applying from outside the United Kingdom, the balance must show that you have had at least £2,800 in your account at all times over the three-month period.

Evidence must be in the form of cash funds. Other accounts or financial instruments for example, shares, bonds and pension funds, regardless of notice are not acceptable.

hope that helps...
best of luck!

Hello :) Congrats on your approval!

Please can you let me know the last digits of your ref number.
Thanks..
 Posted by waitingaussie on 25 Sep 2008
Hi! congrats!

My application was received the same date as yours (27 May) however my ref number is still a 2619** - hopefully mine will be soon. Can I ask, doo you know when your case officer picked up your case (i.e. how many days between that and approval?)- would be really helpful if you can let me know. Thanks and congrats again!
 Posted by hopingforHSMP on 25 Sep 2008
Thanks to all... It has been a long wait and although I have not seen the letter yet... my understanding is that it has been approved...

@waitingaussie... I tried calling them a few days ago and was connected to a grumpy pom... he said since they are considering applications upto 19th may he will NOT tell me the status of mine... and a day later i got an email from the home office...

@cheekymonkey... my ref no is 262017...

@nansari... thanks man... we have been almost together in this... now waiting for the papers... and praying VACs reopen soon...

best of luck all... and all of us are in this together... and you are all guaranteed help by me...

cheers
