ILR postal applications (excluding 10/14 yr.)

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 think most salaried people in this category are getting ilr within a month - that's why they are not bothering to come on to this site. The problem is with self-employed/limited company cases where they are taking so long to decide (that includes me - waiting since February 3).

Don't think that's true.
My wife submitted SET(M) in Dec'13. I am salaried and she was working part-time at that time. And we are still waiting.

HO says they are still processing Oct'13 applications. Perhaps they have just started with Nov'13 applications now.
The general feeling is that there was a huge number of applications (in all categories) submitted in Oct'13 because of the rules changing from 28th October.
Hopefully the Oct'13 backlog is now clear and the processing times will soon improve.

But I know at least one case here - in which the person got ilr in 3 weeks in December on salary income (postal application). I cant find the link here now.

My Wife's (Unemployed) ILR Application was successful made in October 2013.

Application Submitted: SET (O) - 23rd October 2013, received on 24th October 2013.
Reference Letter Received: 20th November 2014.
BioMetric request Received: 6th December and completed on 21st December 2014.
BRP and Document Received on Same day: 26th March 2014.

When I called to enquire two weeks before the receipt of documents, they said processing the application received on October 2013, so was quite.

This forum always been useful even for my initial applications and queries. I recommend and recommended to many people.
