Applied Date: 04/05/2014
Ack Date: 06/05/2014
Biometrics: 24/05/2014

Waiting for the reply....Before I applied for ILR, I had booked my tickets to go back home for three weeks as I had no idea about "upto 6 months clause". My flight date is 04/10/2014 and I hardly have a month....It has been absolutely a nerve wracking time for me :/

Hi Tangie
Thanks for the HO number.
I managed to call HO on Friday. After a long
wait of 15mins,spoke to the guy who said the
appln is being processed(means nothing to me)but could not provide any more
details.

I wonder why HO does not have Web tracking system
as it helps them save time to prioritise their
work and at the same time help applicants
to know their status without these long waiting time
On calls.

Cheers

Hi Kan,
I so agree with you as to making life very easy if we were able to track our application online, like they have for spousal visa from outside the UK. I have been reading this board and looks like a few have already starting getting they approval back from the last week of April and first week of May. I sure will keep you posted as to my out come. If you need to get in touch or have any advice please look for me on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/groups/tangiegaynorilr/.
Cheers.

Hi guys,

It's been a while since I last posted.

Just to let you know my wife received her ILR yesterday. We submitted via a lawyer as our case was complicated.

I work overseas and my wife resides in the UK. So there was a bit of nervousness on our part. Nevertheless we managed to get the BRP.

I will try to post the exact timeline dates but just so you have a rough idea we submitted our application on 20th April 2014. So roughly four months and two weeks to get our reply.

Also as I said, due to our case being somewhat complicated we received a clarification letter from the HO asking about my employment in a bit more detail. I replied to their questions and provided additional evidence.

Nevertheless all is well that ends well. Hopefully now apply for her British Passport in Feb 2015.

I wish all those waiting all the best. It can certainly be nerve racking. Have patience and hang in there.

Take care.
F

Salams all. I've been a silent reader over last 3 months. My wife's timeline :

Application type: SET (M) - 2 years Spouse Visa
No of Dependents: 0 (we have a 1 year old baby - already a British Citizen from my side).
Date of application:29.04.14 - Self service - Postal (no lawyer or checking service)
Date of fees taken: 01.05.14
Date of acknowledgement: 07.05.14 (dated 02.05.14)
Bio letter: 22.05.14
Bio done: 24.05.14
Approval letter with all docs back: 11.09.14 (dated 10.11.14) via royal mail special delivery (SAE included with the application).
BRP: To follow in 7 working days.

It came on the last day of my holiday (we were suppose to be coming back from Turkey today, had it arrived 3 weeks earlier). Roll on Tangier next month ;)

I'm already keeping my eye on the Nutralisation section of this forum for next year as we endeavour to apply for nationality on the 1st of April 2015 enshallah :)

You have to do your biometric again. Every time u apply for any sort of visa except naturalisation application , you have to give ur biometric. I did my biometric four times in this country.
