Sorry can't help you there, I was under the impression that, once you've been to london, and been put for a waiver of ineligibility then you can't check on the progress, you have to just wait and there's no way of checking, I didn't even notice a reference number on my letter I had from the embassy officer, perhaps I'll check tomorrow but I'm sure there's no way of checking on the progress of your referral. That's why you have to just forget about it for 6months and just wait for the email, I know it's easy said than done, I had Xmas, birthdays, teaching my son to drive, that's what took my kind off it.

My letter also has a reference number but I cannot look up anything using this ref.
everyone keeps saying about emails, my letter says I will hear through post! Should I still look out for emails?
My husband last visa we were contacted through post too :/

I think it's all done by email now, not 100% sure but I've just assumed that it was by email as that's all everyone has been saying they have been contacted by.

I'd keep an eye out for an email, when was your interview?

My interview was on November 8th so not long left for me.
Hopefully

My hubby's interview was the 26th February we go away August 15th soooooooo hope it comes through in time.
Last time we were constantly checking his emails but it came through by pits and it says the same on the letter again it will be through post. Just wondered if anyone else's said post

That is a list for those awaiting Administrative Processing. That is different to waiting for a waiver of ineligibility.

I think it will come by email, because in the email it will give you a link for you to arrange a date for a courier to pick up your passport from your home address, to be taken by them to the embassy in London, which takes around 10 working days to get the passport back in your hand.

Looking at your dates it's cutting it really fine, I think your 24th week is the week you go, hopefully it will be quicker, but I wouldn't think so, sorry to say, could you re arrange for 2 weeks later, giving time for the passport to be taken and brought back to you?

Oh really do u think
I have seen some people getting there's back in 18-20 weeks so was hoping and praying this could be us too
We can't change dates as we are going with 13 others

It might happen for you, but the average wait is 4-6 weeks longer than that. I'm sure others have been approved sooner but, more than likely, their timelines will not be your timeline.

Hi Kaz,

Is this your first visa? As most people are having their email around 23-24 weeks?
