Post "visit" wait.

#1 Post by UnkySi »

Hi all, I'm a newby here, no doubt several million questions later etc etc

Anyway, I had my visit on the 12th May after putting my application in 7 weeks earlier, I was told it might take 14-16 weeks?
Just wondering if anyone has an idea on time scale as FEO said he's be putting my application in front of the boss after he'd left me?
I'm watching the mat for the postman daily and still nothing.....

I know I can ring them but thought I'd ask before I do that...

thanks

The above picture rather wittily sums it all up as far as I can tell. There appears no rhyme, reason or otherwise when dealing with processing times. Seeing as we're now paying for an enhanced service, you would think we should have service level agreements and the like in place, with a fiver back for every week late ;)

Northants can be great or diabolical, it's usually a flip of the coin as to the end experience. I had a recent one for one done in 2 weeks whilst a buddy's took 14 weeks.

Anyway, back on topic. (yes I knew, couldn't resist) My wait was 2 weeks after the visit but each force is different - there are large variations across the country. YMMV as the usflag.gif like to say.

Well I called them today, apparently my application has been granted, but they are awaiting some paperwork? I think this was special "delayed for unknown reason" but anybodies guess?
