Hi,

I applied for my ILR along with my spouse and my application was withheld. I thought I had the most simple and straight forward application but I was wrong. My company name changed recently. I went to PEO Croydon with a letter from HR mentioning the Company name change but they didn't accept it. Rather they wanted a confirmation letter from UK Work permit office. Hence my ILR was withheld. All my originals are with Croydon office and they have given me 14 days time to get the letter.
I asked my HR to apply which they did but it looks like it will take 3-4 weeks before it will get updated.

Any of you had similar experiences ?? How did your application went through. I am on work permit and working for the same company since last 5 years. Now I am worried if my application might be rejected.

Once you change the company Name, do UKBA send a letter confirming that and should I submit that ??


This is what its mentioned in the letter which the officer incharge handed over at PEO

I applied for my ILR which was withheld for some document. All my originals including my passport is with UKBA Croydon office. My visa expired yesterday (8/1.2012). I am in the process of collecting the letter which UKBA office asked for considering my ILR application.

So my question is,

- As my passport is with UKBA, even though my application is withheld and my visa is expired, am I staying legally ??

I know I am staying legal as when you apply ILR through post, while decision is made even if the visa expires you are legal but my case the only difference is that I applied for same day service, paid premium fee and still waiting for my ILR .

Thanks
