Hi Kiwigirl25

When is the next parliament session? They should really discuss this matter and find a solution for it.

Dear All

Just for your information, my ILR is based on 4 years student visa + 6 years work permit.

I attended one of my MP surgeries and spoke to his immigration advisor/senior caseworker. She was appalled by the fact that I was being held up for so long (I started applying for my ILR since 2005). This is my 3rd and last attempt. My MP has written a letter to ask Home Office to make a decision as ...

Dear all When Home Office states that 95 percent of the decision is made within 6 months, is it correct that 1 month = 4 weeks? If that's the case, Beige, your 6 months is up at the end of June, and you could consider asking your MP to step in. I have already asked mine. his immigration advisor ...

Dear all Has any applicant in Dec 2009 and Jan 2010 heard from Home Office? It's nearly 24 weeks for those applicants and I wonder what is Home Office doing? Their actions have proven the inefficiency in the system. I just rang the PEO for my 5th month progress check and I received yet another same ...

Dear Beige Good luck with your application. I am in my week 17 and will request my MP to look into this matter this week. I personally find that 6 months wait is a ridiculously long period. For a straightforward case, it should really be 3 months then again I am in the positioning of making this ...

Congrats to 10London. I applied on 8 Feb and just rang the Home Office for update as it's been more than 14 weeks for me. The lady on the phone told be it's yet to be completed. And I asked whether my case has been assigned to a casework, and she said yes. But she warned me that it could take as ...

Dear all I have not heard from the Home Office since my application on 8 Feb 2010. I applied once at PEO Croydon in Dec 2009 but had to withdraw for my travel back home. They could not make a decision although there's nothing wrong with my application. I was compelled to withdraw because the officer ...

Dear Beige Thanks for your advice. I shall wait till after the election, say end of May and it should be 14 weeks after my application. Dear all, Do you think it's a good idea to write a letter to the Minister of Home Office after the election to spell out the concern we have? A wait of more than 6 ...

Dear Beige

When you ring Home Office, did you ask whether your application has been assigned to a case worker?

I will ring the Home Office after the general election to check on the status of my application.

Good luck.
