10 years long residence applications

[antonyos]

The wait has finally come to an end.. My solicitor sent me email yesterday saying I recieved my ILR in the afternoon. I waited to go and collect it and have it in hand before posting here and updating you. Below is my timeline:

Application :27th February 2012
Payment taken: 2nd March 2012
Acknowledgement : 3rd March 2012
ILR Stamped : 11th July 2012
Passport Received: 19th July 2012

Thank you all for your great help

Wish Lovelyislovely and others best of luck. Sad to hear about Jon but pray he'll get this resolved soon.

Regards,
Anton

This forum has provided me so much information over the last few months so I thought I’d share my experience. I received my passport and BRP yesterday.

Application sent: 29th February (on old application form)

Acknowledgement dated: 5th March

I then received a letter on the 20th of March (dated 16th March) informing that I had used the wrong form and that I had to complete the enclosed biometric application form. The letter also included a biometric enrolment letter. I did the biometric enrolment the following day.

Passport Received: 19th July (letter dated 17th July as the passport no longer contains a stamp. All I get is a BRP)
Congratulations mate,I also send my application on 29th feburuary

BRP Received: 19th July via courier.

My case was straight forward, 5 years as a student and 5 years on a work permit.

I hope this information is as valuable to you guys as yours has been to me over the last few months.

Congratulations mate, I also send my application on 29th feb.can please tell us is there any expiry on your biometric card. what did it say on the biometric card?

My wife applied on 10 year basis in Feb 2012 (no solicitor). Still no news. Following this thread, I have mixed feelings. We have already booked flights but had to change flight dates (paying about £1200 extra to change). HO do not seem to care about us as we are still non-British. Application by Post 25 02 2012 Acknowledgment letter dated 29 02 2012 Still awaiting inside the BIG PRISON.

Hi I like the comment Big Prison. Yes its seams we are in a big Prison.

Mate fight till the end and shame them. Bring this joke of an organisation down. Soon turning out to be one of my objectives in life this. [/quote]


Sometimes you wonder whethet its even worth it. The incompetency exhibited by UK PLC puts many failed states to shame. For all the money paid they don't even have the courtesy to return a failed application early enough so that the applicant can decide whta to do next.[/quote]

Am so sorry about that. I have add my advice to your thread. Good Luck.

As a precaution, HO does mention not to book any travel arrangements as the process can take longer than expected.If only this was kept in mind, you would have saved £1200. Oh well, consider as charity. Anyways i'm still waitin for my decision since Sep 2011.

Hello, silent follower for a start. Applied back in Sep 2011, still waiting anxiously.MP was involved and now case is assigned to caseworker in Liverpool. How long does it normally takes to process application once caseworker is assigned?

Hi all, thought i would share some Good News. I finally received my PP on Friday 20/07/2012,stamp dated 11/07/2012 from Liverpool office. In essence, it took HO 10 months to decide on my application. All in all, good effort from my local MP to chase up the process and get final positive results.I must say, i did wait for 6 months to pass before i got my MP involved(they are here to help any member of their constituency so dont feel shy to approach them).I wish best of luck to all who are currently waiting for their Good news.I'm now going to update my timeline on the drive. This forum has been a great help and i guess will need more as i have to apply for my kids registration and wifes spouse visa ext.

Hi everyone, great news, I receive my long awaited ILR today.

Acknowledgement letter 3/3/2012 (Letter was from Sheffield)
Passport stamp with ILR 17/7/2012 (Stamped at Liverpool)
Passport receive 23/7/2012

Passport and other docs was sent to my college, I receive a call to come pick it, this evening, it was a shock, anyway I am really happy to receive it.

I have been a student for the entire 10 years.
I didn't use any solicitor, I did it all by myself.

I did not send any bank statement

Document sent was:

Life in the UK pass notification
All of my previous acknowledgement letters
Letters which accompany passport, each time my visa was extended
My current and previous passports throught the 10 years
My biomertic card
And a letter explaining an invalid application which was made back in 2005, unfortunately, HO had changed the form a few days prior to my application at the time......

I posted all this, as I thought it might be helpful.

I am very greatful for the help and support of other users of this forum, you have been of great help, thanks and good luck to all who are waiting.

Thanks
