I have read some of the messages and most people are complaining about the endless processing times. I suppose most of them sent their applications per mail.
The UK border agency website states:
Processing times
The time taken to process your application will depend on the type of application you make and how you submit it. There is currently a backlog of applications, and we are taking steps to address this situation as soon as possible. We aim to be operating back within our service standards from the beginning of December 2009.
If you make your application in person at the Croydon public enquiry office, we will usually process your application on the same day.
I wonder why it would take only one day if you go there personally and up to 12 months per mail. Does anybody have any experiences?
What's the catch if you go there personally? Why aren't most people going to Croydon?
