Hi me and my wife submitted our FLR on 28th December 11 and we are still waiting to date, also I have tried using the online tracking today but with no luck it says invalid details but has worked fine every other day!
Any one else still waiting for earlier applications ?

just my sitution, submitted my wife's and step sons settlement application on 5th jan and still waiting, just had the standard SMS saying sent to UK embassy on the 5th and since then ziltch!!, also looking on UKBA site there has been no update on processing times since november.. also wondering if their will be longer delays processing settlements as it stated that the UKBA was now accepting and processing tourist visas for the london olympics tourists from january 2012...... bloody great... it is stressful enough without possible processing delays that the olympics possibly will cause... i have no nails left to chew!! LOL

I dont think you need to worry about it being 4 weeks and no word...we put ours in on the 9th of Jan and nothing yet but from what I read on this forum people generally hear after 6 weeks or so about settlement.
You have to remember that those 86% of decisions made in 15 days are refusals as well as issues so I reckon maybe if it takes a little longer then it may be a good sign! #556

Hi S4161 I had just read your post and thought that makes good sense, then logged into my email account and there was an email sent this morning 10.19 saying paperwork ready for collection,so it,s off to bkk tommorow with fingers crossed.

The good news from the UKBA site is that all settlement applications from December have been dealt with.

Hi All,
Just an update....my wife was granted her settlement visa. Thanks for all those who helped me during the application process, this forum is a great source of knowledge and support for all those going through the hell of the UK or any country's immigration system. Regards #566

judging by the huge number of Thai people we come across in Gloucetershire and most are unmarried...settlement visas must only be refused for those who are absolute no hopers.
Almost evryone gets a visa... the UK might say it's tightening up but there is no evidence of this. UK just waves people in. The visa application process seems to be a money making process...not a filtering process. #567

The good news from the UKBA site is that all settlement applications from December have been dealt with. Shame the same cannot be said about the UKBA in the UK. October ILR applications have still not been processed. Disgraceful! Good luck to those applying for TLR but in two years time unless something changes it may be worth paying the massively inflated cost and get ILR processed same day in person! #569
