Hi All

Some good news at last - I've just picked my ILR docs from my lawyer.

Timeline:

Application date: 23-April-2012
Acknowledgement letter date: 30-April-2012
Fee taken on 1-May-2012
Bio letter dated: 9-Jun-2012
Bio data submitted: 18-Jun-2012
BPR issued on 13-Sep-2012
BPR + docs received on 18-Sep-2012

Case summary:

8yrs student + 4yrs WP however could not apply earlier due to total absences from the UK being over 540 days. I don't have original passports covering first four years as the issuing government used to confiscate old passports when issuing new ones.

Docs submitted:

Passports + copies, LIUK, letters from school / uni / employer, bank statements, council tax letters, GP letters. Sounds like an overkill but since I didn't have one of my passports I thought this wouldn't hurt.
I applied through a lawyer.

I've updated the SkyDrive - http://sdrv.ms/LpFy1N

Best of luck to everybody!! This forum was very helpful!

Hi all,

I've received my ILR. The following is my timeline.

Application sent date: 24th April 2012
Acknowledgement letter date: 1st May 2012
Invitation for biometric date: 25th July 2012
Biometric enrolment date: 25th July 2012
BRP issued date: 15th September 2012
Passport received date: 19th September 2012

I applied through an immigration adviser. Documents submitted are photos, passports, certificates from schools I've attended, and all my education certificate. My total absence from the UK was a more than 800 days and never exceeded the limit for single absence 180 days. My student visa was refused in 2006 but an appeal was allowed in March October 2007. I used same adviser at that time.

This website had been a great help to keep me as well as my legal adviser follow up and special take care give me big relief. Thank you for everyone who shares their knowledge and information.
I hope everyone waiting for their ILR will receive it soon.

Hey

Congrats on you ILr.. Enjoy your freedom. your case gives hope to other people . Normally the rule states.

"continuous period is broken if the applicant spent a total of 18 months outside the UK throughout the whole 10 year period."

Hopefully others who are in same situation get it too.

Regards

Straight forward case
