HMRC to UKBA response times

The request was successful.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Can you please provide me with the following data with regards to Tier1 General switching Applications received between 1st Jan 2011 and 6th April 2011.

1. In how many cases has the UKBA contacted HMRC in relation to the tax information about the applicant ?

2. What is the expected turn around time for these requests ?

3. What was the shortest and the longest HMRC has taken to respond to these requests ?

4. Are any of these requests still waiting to be responded to ? If yes, How many ?

5. How long will the UKBA/caseworker wait for a response from HMRC before making a decision on the application ?

6. Does UKBA send reminders to HMRC in case a response is not received within the expected time ?

7. What happens if the HMRC does not respond at all in-spite of repetitive reminders ?

8. Is it right for UKBA to make the applicants wait for years because a third party has not responded to their requests ?

Yours faithfully,
hari
