This note of theirs have been put on now since many complained at Glasgow office(including me).
When I applied, the note was not there in their website. Even when I asked the Glasgow UKBA personnel to show me in the form or the website about any notification of such kind, they agreed that it is not there and they have asked their superiors to put on the website.
May I add here, can you ask the Glasgow UKBA office on how many of the candidates (self employed) returned back with their application till the cut-off dat of 22 August 2012? They should be able to provide the list of candidates like me who returned back.
But because of all this, I could not book another date for in-person ILR. Result is that I applied by post on 10th September 2012. And I am still waiting (after 5 month and 20+days) for the outcome. Funny and pathetic as it is, I fail to understand any logic behind in-person application being given outcome within 1 day while the application by post taking more than 5 months+ to give outcome. Unless until UKBA has decided to harass the applicant (by post) despite charging them almost same money(just £500 less) than those who applied in person!
Matter of fact is, UKBA is autocratic and secretive in functioning. More so when no men or organistion, no matter how credible they are, want to take them head on.
As far we are concern, we have no choice but to bow down to what is happening and pray God to have mercy on us.
