ILR postal applications (excluding 10/14 yr.)

Great to see that some people have received their BRP recenlty. Congrats!
It seems that the processing rate has again slowed down a bit as there have been very few updates in last few days.

Thought of updating the forum..

Just come off the phone with Home office, enquired about my ILR SET (O) postal application sent on 14/11/13. They said it is still incomplete and asked me to wait further. It seems they are still working on Oct'13 applications..

Did you call the 0870 or 0151?

@tmpmem, i have called 08706067766 and option 3; had to wait for 10 mns to speak to an agent.

Hi All,

Received my letter and passport and documents all together yesterday (picked up from post office yesterday)... All I am waiting for is my BRP... I am supposed to go to France tomorrow and although the letter specifically states "You are advised to not make any travel arrangements until you receive your Biometric Residence card", I was thinking of risking it? Does anyone know if there are severe consequences if you try to get back in without the card? Most forums say that you are held at border control longer than usual to fingerprint you and confirm you're okay to return... does anyone know?

Please Please Advise
To The Expert,SSWSZ, Guru and any one who can give me and advice.

Me and my Daughter came in UK on 16/July/2004 as Visitor Visa (Mean 6 Month Visa Tourist). My first Daughter is 10 Years old now who was born in Mauritius, she came after 3 Months, Second Daughter is 7 Years old Born in UK in Sep 2006. I lost One Daughter 2 Years ago (Still Born Baby).
We convert our Visitor visa as Student Dependant Visa on November 2004 till Now, as my husband is here since October 2003 as on student visa till June 2014.

My queries are I got 35-40 days Gap for making the 10Years application. Our visa is run out on 06/June/2014. (Me and my First Daughters came on 16 July 2004).

1. What is the best way to apply?
2. Which application we need to make?
3. Which Document need to provide?
Please answer my queries. I will appreciate your help.

God Bless
Best Regards
From
Bibi

Hi,

Any updates on SET(M) applications?
Or any other updates?

Just spoken to UKBA @ 03001232241 (new no) regarding ILR postal applications status; the person on the phone confirmed that they are about to complete the Oct’13 applications.

Hopefully, they will start working on the Nov’13 applications soon…??

Did they tell which type of Oct'13 applications have they completed? SET(LR), SET(O), SET(M) etc?
Or did they just tell you "ILR application" in general?

Hi

I am about to apply SET M for my wife. I have question about the form in Section 8.

8.5 Does a relative or friend of you or
your partner, or both of you, regularly
give you money? if yes, so then how much???


My wife does not work so she just rely on me for financially. i believe I have to say yes..but what figure we need to write??

Can someone please advise me.

I will appreciate your urgent reply.

Thanks

Hi all,

In the other forum for settlement based on 10/14 year residence, there are at least 2-3 approvals received almost everyday. But in this forum, the rate is much less.
I am wondering if SET(LR) applications are processed faster than SET(O) and SET(M). Or if number of SET(LR) applications is much bigger than other ILR applications.

Any idea?

Hi,

Any updates on SET(M) applications?

Thought of updating the forum..

Called UKBA this morning re my ILR SET O application; it seems they are still working on Oct'13 applications.

@ tmpmem, agent said this update is relevant to SET O only.

Answer is NO

My wife has now received her approval letter and documents back - just waiting for biometric card now. The timeline is:

SET (M)
Application sent - 11 Nov 2013
Biometrics letter received - 21 Dec 2013
Biometrics enrollment done - 21 Dec 2013
Approval letter arrived: 18 Mar 2014 (dated 15 Mar)

So it took 18 weeks in total! Good luck to all that are still waiting!

Congratulations!
And it's great to know that they have started processing Nov'13 applications now.

I called HO on 0300 number today and they said HO is processing Oct'13 SET(M) applications.

Any updates from SET(M) applicants?
