[woolies]

Currently still awaiting for my visa to come through Slightly panicking as I've got a wedding to attend soon and the bridesmaid (me) is still stranded here.

But here are my application details:

Application sent date: 09 Dec 2011
Acknowledgement letter date: 13 Dec 2011
Applied on the basis of:
7 year Student visa
2 years IGS+PSW
1 year Tier 2
Applied through immigration consultant

My day is finally HERE!!!!!!!
Application sent date: 09 Dec 2011
Acknowledgement letter date: 13 Dec 2011
Received passport: 19 Mar 2012
ILR stamped: 12 Mar 2012 (Liverpool)

Was upset that I missed the friend's wedding but at least I don't have to stress over visa year after year! All the best to everyone else!!!!

Congratulations Evem.

I am about to complete the form, and I got confused - do I have to complete the section 11. My case is fairly simple 9 years student and 1 year PSW.

I thought I just need to provide
(1) Life in UK test proof.
(2) My Degree+ master Qualifications
(3) All my passports
(4) Biometric Card

Do I still need to provide utility bills and bank letters / Or prove that I have income or something?

Sorry, but I am really worried about missing documents or filled in wrongly.

Thanks so much for help!!!

Hi,

Though it's not required, it is supplementary and to some extent help in showing you're financially independent and that you wont be on the dole thereafter. For my application I submitted copies of my P60s , payslips and bank statements for 3 months. So it's up to you really if you want to supplement your application.

Good luck

Hi, i applied on basis of 10 yrs long residence back in sep 2011 and still havnt received any response except acknowledgement letter. It's been just over 24 weeks. Can someone please tell that if it can take this long? I have been student for 7, 2 on PSW and now on Tier 2.

Was your case was stright ? no gap or late visa extension? or more holidays etc?

I really dont know what ppl define "straight" as. I didnt have gaps or late visa extensions(all within legal time,however 2 appeals due to not sending funds evidence but all accepted and visas renewed).i'm well below the holidays limit too.

You should phone to UKBA as already completed six month,please let us know with outcome.

Re:miyazi
My friend's I applied now not 2 years before.now a days after your biometric registration it will take maximum 3-4 weeks if everything is alright but if you have less documentation or anything to explain then of course it would take so long. I always present my case like a case worker that's why I also include my recent CRB and my bank statements because in my case caseworker has to use his own discretion for discretion I must satisfy the caseworker that I have no other complications with my case apart of that I spent some time as a eea family member.
Other things I attached just to help him while deciding my case easily. I have some examples in my case HO already granted ILR to the people who were in the same condition like me.
Hope so I will get my approval letter within couple of weeks time otherwise of course we have a wait.

Thanks

Wel , I am again appreciate you , for being optimistic and finger cross for you .

Hi guys
Here is my recent update regarding my application
Application sent 29th February 2012
Application received by HO on 1st march 2012
Acknowlwdgement letter 07 march 2012(dated 02 march 2012)
Biometric letter received 12march 2012(dated07march2012)
Biometric enrolment 12march 2012(same day@Earl'scourt)
I hope I will get my indefinite biometric card within couple of weeks time.if it does it would be the shortest waiting time according to the data showed in the forum.
My case is very straight forward
6 years student 3 years and 9 months as a family member of eea national
3 months retained right of residence(after divorce)
No criminal/civil conviction,no gaps,always applied LTR's and Residence Permit's on time.
I could apply before 29th February 2012 but deliberately applied on 29th February so I could get my biometric done once your biometric done then it's very rare that you have to wait for so longer.maximum 3-4 weeks after your biometric you would get your decision.
Thanks

I appreciate you for your well being optimistic . But the reality is that your application will be proceed after your bio- metric enrolment .

It has wel documented in my case . I was your situation 2 years ago when I was applied for my student visa . I been through my SAR file . It has being clear indication on SAR file that when your bio-metric enrolment done , then it will be allocate to a case worker . If your case straight forward and initial consideration willtake place, you will very lucky to get your ilr within 6 to 8 weeks .

Thanks
Miyazi

Hi!

Morning Every1, I woke up feeling a wreck this morning, I am filled with fear, I posted my application on the 25/2/2012, it reaches 28/2/2012, I am worried because I am not working and I have been a student all my ten years of being here. Can someone shed some light on my situation, I would be happy to get some comforting news. Do you think this could affect my application? I have never overstayed, all my previous appplications were on time, and I have travelled abroad a few times.

Thnx in advance

You have to have 9 years 11 months 2 days legal residency, and not a single gap more than 6 months in 10 years period, and your total absence is not more than 540 days in 10 years period, it doesn't matter whether all 10 years on student, or combination of visa, as long as it is 10 years legal residency that will be fine, your case seems to me you will get it soon.

Hi!

Thank you very much, that's great news, I stayed less than 300 days out of uk within the ten tear period.

My timeline:

Sent application: 25/2/2012
HO Receive it on 28/2/2012
Acknowledgement letter: 3/3/2012
Paid by postal order
Waiting anxiously......

Documents sent: Previous & current passport.... all my home office letters throughout the years..... life in uk test result.... biometric card and a cover letter.
