I believe this is the normal process. It will normally take few more weeks before you hear from them again but it may take more.

So, do not worry.

Many thanks for your supportive message  Fidan :)

Hi Ron,

Mine is processed also in Liverpool. one of my referees has just left the country for 3 months...which could make the situation worse...i have just cancelled all my travel plans

Hi all,

If you received a letter saying that " they will make the decision once they receive the results of my character enquiries. This may take SEVERAL MONTHS", how long did it take after receiving this letter to get a dicision?

Regards,

Summer

Hi everyone,

Can anyone tell me if one of the referees had to be of a professional background? Such as lawyer, accountant and etc.

Thanks

Emil.

Hi

I have applied through NCS. I got a reply within 3 weeks from the HO. BUT, they say "they will make the decision once they receive the results of my character enquiries. This may take SEVERAL MONTHS". Two british born referees support my application

Any thought?

Regards
