ILR postal applications (excluding 10/14 yr.)

No, They havn't told me anything about the application itself. What I felt was she had some information at her hand but, she can't reveal it. she kept me on hold for a while and said they will write to me and I should wait fo rthe communication!!!

Has anyone in january received ILR in cases where sponsor has no job and only applicant is working. I kind of feel my case is been sidelined because my sponsor is not working, all they told me was its not yet completed.

Anyone from February Set(O) applications heard anything yet?

They said the same when I called. Someone else on here called on the same day and were told December, yet some Feb people have had their decisions! For our first visa at least we had an online system that we could log in to that gave us some kind of indication (and something to do!) By the looks of the posts on here we are going to be waiting about another month and a half for our Match SET(M) application

No real consistency in the information provided by the ukba ... looking at the bright side, at least they're not putting the feet up and not answering calls.

The wait is a real killer.

We are similar times. Good we both get good news soon The wait is like a constant dead weight around my neck. Do yogurt hurry home to check the post every day? Every day before I open the front door I get butterflies now.

SET M:
Dependents: 0
Supporting Spouse: Salaried
Application handed in via settlement checking service: 05/03/14
Biometrics letter received: 26/03/14
Biomertics submitted: 28/03/14

That should have said 'do you hurry home' I must be hungry if I manage to turn that sentence in to something about yogurt!

I wonder how anaia got so lucky because i sent in my application on the 14th of Feb ... could it be the difference in the application form? I applied on the SET(O) application form whereas Anaia i believe applied on SET(M). Oh the waiiiiiiiiiiiiiit! I'm checking my post every time i leave home for work and everytime i come back home from work ... i really am getting paranoid about this now lol ...

Good news finally from a silent reader. This forum is a star.

SET (O) + 1 dependant
Submission date: 14th Jan 2014 by post
Decision letter and documents return: 28th May 2014
Biometric: coming soon.

My wait was 4.5 months. Hope my timeline gives people some clue during the uneasy wait.
I wish everyone good luck.

I phoned this morning and was told they are still looking at January applications. Interestingly they asked me to do a survey about contracting them. I think they may move in the future to having an online tracking system, which would be so much better for those of us waiting!

Is anyone still waiting for ilr from January application?

Hi Everyone,

I applied for ILR via Set Protection route.
Application for me + dependants sent - 02/01/2014
Biometrics sent - 17/01/2014
called H/O for update and the lady said they are looking at January applications so fingers crossed for good news..

Hi, I have applied for ILR ON SET M FORM on 4th of FEB 2014. Biometric invitation 18th of feb. I enrolled my biometric same day. Now still waiting for reply from HO as of 31th of May today. I wonder how long more do I have to wait? Should I contact Ho now? Any suggestion will be much appreciated.
