Congratulation! And thank you for sharing this
One quick question re absence: have you provided any evidence (e.g. tickets?)

Congrats to you and everyone that has received their ILR goodnews from the home office.

I would have congratulated you even before this time because our timeframe (wife is the main applicant while am the dependant) but due to the fact that the board wouldn't let me sign up until now and I only followed the thread without being signing up for months.

Our Timeframe:

Applied for ILR: 02/02/15
Biometrics done: 13/02/15
Now the wait begins until 24th of April that we received letter dated 22nd of April from the Cardiff PEO signed by the General Group Managed Migrant Directorate stating that my wife declared a specific amount in her 2011/2012 tax year to UKBA during her extension application but she didn't declare the same amount to HMRC in the 2011/2012 tax return.
Meanwhile, she did but in the following year (2012/2013) and we made sure she paid all the tax on the money before we applied for ILR and she's not owing HMRC a dine and as our accountant even said, HMRC should be owing her at the end of it all.
We have already replied and attached the HMRC statement of account where it shows how she paid the tax owing on the profit declared with some full explanations.
My point now is this: 1. Anyone with an idea how faster the Cardiff PEO can respond to us after all these or do they still need to go and verify these again at the HMRC and how long can it take? Because I have an important travel scheduled for early June.
2. What is now our fate on this issue. Though, am not really worries about it as far as am concerned because we not owing a dine and as they stated in the letter, that's the only thing that we need to explain about the discrepancy as every other thing are intact except for this which needs full explanation and supporting documents to prompt our application which we already did?

Anyone in the house with any advice on these issue on ground because my wife is always curious and feel a bit down most times.

PS: It was full time employment during the ILR so, she wasn't on self employed this time but was fully self employed only during the extension.

Thanks for your kind advice in advance house.

Though, have not been so worried like this before but just due to the fact that it's important I attend my grandma's burial and it's just two weeks left. If not, I wouldn't have bothered until it arrives.
Will do as said before the close of work of HO today.

Thanks once again Tomorrowshalltell. Made a call but they said they will make a call back within 48hrs after I gave the details of the application.

Application type : Set O . Tier 1general 3 + 2 to ilr.
no of dependants : 2

Date of interview letter : 29/01/2015
Interview date : 09/02/2015

Attended the interview yesterday at vfs london battleship building, most of the interview did go well and at the end, they said have got two queries from my case worker about the discrepancy in my earning claimed on my previous application. The interviewer said they have got the information from HMRC showing only half the amount of the earning what i have claimed during my application. i explained to them becoz the earning claimed was not for the full tax year and falls on different tax years there might be some differences and offered them to send my statements which would make them clear. Not sure if it was a satisfactory reply to the case worker.

Now keeping my fingers crossed and expecting the worse incase my explanation was not accepted.

I got a letter in the post last week with my passport and a letter asking me to sit the approved test which I've booked for tomorrow. Fingers crossed HO will make a decision on my application as soon as I sit the test. I applied by post in first week of February.

You have a very good case worker that has given you the opportunity to sit the correct test some would have just refuse your application. This is good news for you. You Dont have anything to worry about.
