Hi
on the 22nd July i expedite my ILR set 0 application as my grandfather is ill- all proof sent and MP aslo sent a letter and i still have not received any correspondence - could you please let me know how it took for you to received correspondence about your expedite.

Did you send it by recorded delivery? If not-then it gets more difficult, if yes- check with Royal Mail when it was delivered to HO and who signed by. It took me around 2 weeks to receive reply from them, which was a "no" anyway.

It all seemed to be too good to be true when I got my approval letter. Now, 10 working days past and I still don't have my BRP. Got to contact them again. Arrrrrr!

Yes I sent it by recorded delivery and fax as well.
Date of further documents request: 8 August - date on HO letter 06/08/2014.
MP received email from HO 11/08/2014 – Saying a decision will be made once all documents are received and check by HO.
Date of further documents request was sent to HO - 12/08/2014 - received by HO 13/08/2014.
STILL AWAITING ON DECISION.

Date of further documents sent to HO - 12/08/2014
Documents received by HO - 13/08/2014
STILL AWAITING ON DECISION.

Hello,
I have just got a refusal letter today from HO!! They refused me under the COP rules. i am an old work permit holder.
I have got work permit on 18th of june 2008 as a hotel manager and the salary was £19k (45 hours pw).
But under the COP on my position it says, I have to earn £19k (39 hours pw)!!
as i believe HO made this rules on March 2011.
On my last p60 (which i did submit on HO) was £19,700
My question is, why they applying the new rules on me and what should I do now?

Hi
Fds

Hi,

I have applied on 13th May (Set O). Still waiting.

Thanks

I have been a silent reader of this forum for many months (almost 5 months). This forum has been an excellent companion on this long journey during my ILR application. I am very grateful with people who posted their timelines that helped me to realise the actual waiting time. so, please find below my timeline:

* Application Set(M) using the Settlement Checking Service : 28 March 2014
* Confirmation letter of application from HO : 1 April 2014
* Biometrics done: 11 April 2014
* Confirmation letter of successful ILR from HO : received on 21 August 2014 (dated 15 August 2014)
* BRP : 19 August 2014 (redelivered on 22 August 2014)

The letter of confirmation came by the Royal Mail and the BRP by the DX courier.

If I had known about this long wait, I would have applied on the same day service.

All the best and good luck for all who are waiting.
