so i think i have a similar problem. sent the original application in june 2011 to london. only heard in june 2012 that there was a backlog and we had to RESUBMIT our application. So now im confused- will they get through it quickly now or is this when our wait starts ..AGAIN?

Ailsa n Dave

Hi Alipeesha,
Is it just certain forms you have to resubmit or the whole thing? Resubmitting certain forms is quite common judging by comments on here. I think you may have a time limit though, I'd suggest you check that and get them back as quickly as you can or you might end up back of the queue again!
Good Luck,
Ails

hi ails, it was the whole application package pretty much. new police certs.. new travel docs.. new schedule a's... i got them sent 3 weeks ago last monday (not that im counting the hours!)

anne-ireland

That is quite normal if they wanted you to resubmit they would have returned original package to you. All they were looking for is updated documentation

alipeesha

From looking at the processing times through london though im worried that we are back at the start again? from your byline it looks like you had things processed pretty fast?

Jane Barlow

We had to redo the same ones as you except the police certs as ours are still valid so I wouldn't worry - if anything it means they are actually looking at your application rather than it sitting in an unopened pile somewhere. CIC issued new forms over the past year which is why they wanted you to redo them as well as updating your info on the ones which haven't changed.

hello all,
cant quite believe im typing this. but got my passport request today
i played a little dumb and emailed the visa office in londo to see if they had recieved my ammended bank draught.....

they had a look for e and when confirming they had, they sent me the passport request email

to say i nearly fainted sooo would not be an overstatement

im still expecting someone to say nope sorry we got it wrong....i think ill still think that until i recieve my copr..
i sooo hope you all hear soon and hope this message demonstrates that there is some movement going on xx
