I read someone's post, they applied March 8, did biometric and receive docs and bio card within 4 days of taking the biometric, how lucky.... I was stunt, I am happy for them though, I hope we get ours this weekend. God is on the job.
Dont believe what people are posting here my dear some pple just lie,, how can u do biometrics and eceive doc in 4 days,, which category was the person applying was it 10 years..Guys stop misleading ppl its unfair
I would not go as far as to say that they are lying, it is possible, the information is under the sticky (excluding 10 & 14 years), if you browse through, I think it is page 169 or 170, you should see it there, I wish everyone the best of luck, I am praying that I will get good news soon.
The information you are Giving on here is irrelevant, its not 10 years ILR.Thats why i said u r misleading new members on here. Just stick to 10 years ILR not exclusive (10 years), and i cheked that person applied on 8th/3/12 and Bio letter on 30/4/12 and docs received on 4/7/12.. not same day as u mentioned here...read carefull b4 posting things

Hi all,
there has been no sign of good news since 22nd June on 10 yr ILR...Has anyone received their ILR and not updated here yet?
I noticed that around the 20th of the month all the backlog seems to clear up..does that mean that the HO are working towards a deadline of 20th around each month and we can expect ours to take till the 20th July? Although, there seems to be some passports that have arrived on other dates too but the majority seems to be cleared around the 20th of the month...
Anyway, pls keep us posted if you receive your ILR so we can hope that ours is next.
thanks,
km

hi all! i am just wondering this home office people taking ages to get our applications sorted. I myself applied 27th of march and got my biometrics done on 16 th of may. There is nothing since then. I know we all facing the same problem - wating game. Hopefully they start completing our applications. and recently i moved to another place. Do you guys think i should contact home office and give them my new address and same time to ask about my applications status.
thanks for attention
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!

To clarify I am sure hulobilai meant that he sent reminder to the UKBA asking for an update. The UKBA don't send reminders.

How to contact UKBA. I called on 0870 606 7766, select option 3 and just a recorded message played and call ended automatically.
Any other way to call them???

I called them last month, and was told to keep waiting. I called them last week and was told no one has touched my application and i should keep waiting or call them back in two weeks. I wont be surprised if they said the same in two weeks time. I am gone pass frustrated now, i dont even know what to feel. smh.

Hello everyone, thought I would add my story as well. I applied last year in Sep 2011(10 yrs long residence) and still waiting. MP contacted,caseowner assigned and still past 2 and half months now.I know its frustrating but not much can be done....So be brave and have patience.Some ppl on here sound like they will give up their lifes if PP not received soon.We all waited long enough so waiting couple more months wont take your breath away.Do the necessary and wait.

Hi Nomibhai!
I must commend you, you've been waiting since last year Sept and still being calm about the situation, I wish I had such lovely patience, what route did you took, throughout the 10 years? Were you a student throughout? I pray you receive good news soon.
All for one, one for all..... Peace

@Gbemi, I applied on the 27th of March (15 weeks), so not as long as yours. My main problem is just the fact I havent received a biometric letter and also the lack of response to you feb guys. Looking like August before we March lot get any reply.

@TKAY I think by the end of this Month if you have not heard any response from them, I think you should involve your Mp.
