Set(M)--Postal Processing Time

[potter09]

It appears, SET(M) postal applications sent in the second half of August and early September are processed and returned after about 10-11 weeks. SET(O)s seem to be taking a bit longer.

There seems to be little urgency in processing these! I suspect it is to keep the numbers of same day applications (and even more hiked fees) up to bring money into the exchequer!

My wife and daughter applied in October and she is already getting jumpy about it! I have told her this is pretty much an expensive formality (as long as the applicant qualifies) and not to expect her passport back before Christmas!

I will let people know when it returns!

A relative of my wife has had her ILR granted as the result of domestic violence. It took a week for the Home Office to process!
