Congrats when did you apply[/quote]


applied on 10 aug 2012. got ILR on 4/4/2013.

sent the current and old passport, the life in the UK test results, and all the certificates gained (not required). Did send a letter when 3 months passed before I was invited for biometrics, but I don't think the letter made any difference because they sent the invite before they would have had the ...

Dear All, Sorry for not posting this sooner but I was granted IRL on April 4th. It's still sinking in but there is still pain from the torturous 8 months wait. 8 years on student visas and 2 years on post study work visa. No gaps due to travel and no penalties or criminal record. Best of luck for ...

I have seen the smshad's template, so no need to copy it for me. I think someone said we should put HO complaint number on skydive. Great idea and we should also put the MP and HO complaint letter templates. The way things stand right now, most of us will eventually need them.


K.

Hi Andie_83, Could you be kind enough and post your template of the complaint letters, and the letter to the MP. Or if someone knows where the smshad's template is, that would do also. I have been quite busy and haven't followed the forum over the last month, so I don't know where they are. The ...

[quote="Pari_in_kwest"]Just to let you know all that my mother passed away last night. I couldn't even say good bye to her and not sure if I will get to see her before my family criminate her.[/quote]



Heartfelt condolences. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

K.

congrats Punjabis and kya1104, all the best wishes.

[quote="Khall75"]The reason for not sending my BRP is that I'm applying for housing benefit, tax credit ......[/quote]



Get in there........ no point wasting time!

I think you can not get on international flights without a passport. I'm not sure about the Indian high commission, but they won't give you new documents unless the previous ones are lost, damaged or have expired. There is another person who had a family emergency, probably look 10 or more pages ...

[quote="specy_99"]This thread is now becoming more about FLRM than SET0 long residence![/quote]



specy_99 makes a good point, which has also been previously pointed out by the immensely resourceful Damanisshallo, page 240.

[quote="OttoMattik"]Well, after a long and painful wait of over 10.5 months... I finally received my BRP earlier today, [/quote]


Hi OttoMattik,
Congrats and all the best wishes. If I could, I would definitely give you a medal for enduring 10.5 months of torture.

to save me from going crazy I didn't want to do the maths of how many have been decided.[/quote]



It should be 95% within 9 months! Is anyone still waiting after nine months?

[quote="Damanisshallo"] How did UKBA entered these applications on to their database under 14 Yr LR????????? Can't be bothered to find answers for these questions.[/quote] Their reply was quite quick, hopefully other caseworkers will follow his example. There is still something fishy about the ...

[quote="Damanisshallo"][b]Why are there discrepancies on UKBA's Stats for two different FOI requests with similar questions? Especially for September & October?[/b]
[/quote]



I think the figures are wrong, full stop. The Sep and Oct numbers don't follow any logical reason or pattern.

good question!

[quote="Punjabis"] Could you please advise, as it's over 6 months what is the right step moving forward. Apart from wait as my tier 1 visa is nearly finish in 2 months.[/quote] Just more of the same good old fashioned waiting. I think at least 6 months waiting is the standard. I have waited 5 months ...

[quote="as268"]Hi,

May I ask when you sent the application originally and how you found out that the application was voided? Had they even tried t contact you prior?
[/quote][/quote]



Hi as268,

May I ask what's happened to your application. Did it go through or have they sent it back.

K

All the best, Dumba. Enjoy.

[quote="specy_99"]Has anyone in August heard any good news?

No good news yet. I applied in August. With the way things are, I think I will start getting worried in April!

Thanks Spidery_thread

Can someone who is on post study work visa start a university course while waiting for IRL to come through.

[quote="let_koko"][quote="kebl303"]This is amazing! All the best guys. Just out of curiosity, Joolz and DD202, does one of you have Jesus or Muhammad as your middle name? Very funny, Jesus or Muhammad as middle name. Congrats to Joolz and DD202, Enjoy your freedom. I'll also like to thank you guys ...

I'll be surprised to see if you come back to this forum (you may have got your ILR sorted by then) to share your experience in dealing with this query. Good Luck.[/quote] I just received the Biometric invite last week. So, I think there is still a lot of waiting I have to do. I will try to ask them ...

Hi Damanisshallo, Thanks, what those figures tell us is that on average there are 600 applications per month and that it is twice as much as it was between 2008 to 2010. What we should ask for is applications per each month, how many ILR were given each month over the last two years, how many ...
