    Default Parent category processing times......HELP!!!

    We are currently waiting to be allocated an immigration officer. Our application was received and stamped in London on 23rd September. Initially we were told we would be allocated within two to three months. Last week we were told it could be at least four months. Has anyone any further up to date information please?

    Hello.

    I'm afraid nobody can tell you exactly what to expect. All timings mentioned by INZ have to be regarded as elastic - they're a best guess, based on recent averages, and never a promise. For one thing, the workload in INZ offices fluctuates unpredictably. Nobody can say how many applications arrived just before, or at the same time as, yours. Then, INZ offices are subject to normal pressures on the workforce - sickness, staff leaving, need for staff training, etc.. And all INZ officials work an allocation of cases in rotation, so delays can arise from an official having to spend a longer time than predicted on another of their cases before moving on to give yours its next turn for their attention.

    Thanks for taking the time to reply. I thought it would probably be as you say. It would just be nice if we knew something more concrete. Thanks again

    It will not surprise you to know that EVERYBODY with an application in feels exactly the same way. It sometimes helps time to pass if you concentrate hard on real life stuff happening where you are, then it comes as a pleasant change when INZ next taps you on the shoulder.
