Hi thanks for your important question. first of all I want to wish you good luck for your future ILR application.

According to my point of view, Strength of connection refers to something like, if someones have a family life or simillar kind of relationship with a british or settled person. likewise applicant wife or husband is british or a settled person. settled person means ( somone who have ILR ). It also refers to someone who got a blood connection uncle or aunty here, who are already settled in UK. But it is not something that you have to have a strong connection with a british settled person or have to have a family here, but sometimes it may help your application as a support if you have one.

Hi everybody , I am delighted to give you guys good news Alhamdulliah. I have just received ILR. When I applied back in september 2011, applicant were getting back their passport within 3 months. But it was not for me . I was stressed when I had completed my 2month waiting. It was too much for me because I had a plan to go to back home during the christmas break. But obviously I could not go .so all around stessed . and this stressed just been expired now  .
I am really greatful how this forum helped me to know all of stuffs. Specially Vien and ah_kassem . this people are wonderful. Thank you a lot.
My case was straightforward from my point of view. I always extended my visa ontime. No Gap.but it took me 140 days nearly double than I had expected earlier.
My time line:
Application 19/09/2011 ( recorded delivery)
Acknowledgement date : 22/09/2011
Money taken: 26/09/2011
ILR Stamp date and location: 24/01/2012
Passport received  : 07/02/2012 ( they used my prepaid envelop that I provided )

Just one thing I would like to say to people who are waiting,.. have faith to your God and keep waiting. You will get your moment .

thanks

Lost Passport

Post by shola » Thu Feb 02, 2012 1:29 am

Hi guys, I have being in this country since January 2002, unfortunately I lost my passport while on holiday in Africa last year, this made me stranded in Africa for just under 6 months. when i came back, i applied for 'subject access request' which i got in November last year. my question is will my ilr application be treated as straight forward or complicated ilr application i mean in term of processing time. I have always abide by all rules and regulations never out of time renewal. here is the detail of my application submission:

submitted on 20/12/2011
money taken 22/12/2011
acknowledged 23/12/2011
still waiting.........................

I submitted,

copies of previous granted visas
Subject access request
Police report of Lost Passport
Payslip
life in the UK test
obviously, my new passport



Can anyone tell what time i should roughly expect my passport back? Thanks.
