Hi

Sorry to hear that you need the docs urgently. the contact number is 08706067766 , in the list of menu you have the option to withdrew the application, because I come across the situation of nearly withdrew my application the call centre staff said for medical grounds the wait time collecting back the documents if 11days.

I waited until my application is dealt and advise you to be patient unless emergency so that you can have job done from Liverpool case group.

Good luck

Does any one has the contact details for home office enquires, any up dates would be greatly appreciated.
It's my 11th week and I have some real urgency for which I'm even looking for options to withdraw my application.

Hi all,

I would like to share my timeline. It took exactly three months to receive my ILR.

Application sent 12/09/2011
Acknowledgment letter received: 19/09/2011
ILR stamped: 02/12/2011
ILR received: 12/12/2011

It took 13 weeks and my application was straightforward (with no gaps). So I have no idea why it took longer than average. Good luck for the people still waiting.

Regards

DEAR ALL,

TO GOD BE THE GLORY! I have received my passports + ILR stamp today and I thought I'd my story with you all. I have been a silent follower of this fantastic forum for about 5 months now. My timeline is as follows:

APPLICATION SENT: 21 SEP. 2011

PAYMENT TAKEN: 28 SEP 2011 (Bank Draft (confirmed by the bank))

My case was pretty much straightforward with no gaps - 10years student. However, I had some missing stamps in my passport which got me bit worried, but that was not an issue after all.

A big thank you to all the wonderful and lovely people of this forum, particularly all the moderators, al_kassem and vien1206. A special thank you to adamboston, who never got tired of answering my endless questions - God Richly Bless You.

Hey far150811,

When you call UKBA, if you select the option for booking an appointment, then you can speak to someone, but whether they'll check you case on the system, or they have anything saved on their system rather I very much doubt it...

Have you been in contact with you MP? Not a lot we can do apart from keep waiting I suppose.

Thanks vien, ill give it a go tomorrow... no i haven't contact my MP yet but hoping to meet him next week if i am lucky...yeah we can only wait but its freaking kills me.. anyway hope you get yours this week, keep faith in god. good luck

vien1206[/quote]

Thank you Raja, i guess thats the only option left to do now... next week ia ill try to meet my MP and see what he can do.. thanks again.[/quote][/list]

Touching base....

Still waiting at 11 weeks

[derlin]

For two years I have silently followed this topic forum but it has taken only today to register and post my first message. Before I enter to the analysis of my ILR visa application, I want to immensely thank the creators and members of this online community for sharing their thoughts and providing informational support. Perhaps, this forum is a true game-changer for ordinary people seeking guidance which might otherwise be unavailable against an increasingly tightening UK immigration and skyrocketing immigration legal fees.

Basis of application: 9 years 4months on student visa and 8 months on PSW.
I applied: 16 September 2011.
Application fee cleared (debit card): 19 September 2011.
Acknowledgement letter received: 20 September 2011.
ILR stamped date: 28 November 2011.
Received date: 01 December 2011.
Total application cycle: 76 days (11 weeks).
Documents sent: cover letter, App form, two passports, Life in the UK test and copies of passport pages.
Application processing centre: Liverpool
Use of legal representation: None.

I had always considered my application straightforward because I have successfully renewed my visa seven times in the past. I have always applied in time except my 2006 student visa renewal which had an 8 day gap. A cover letter accompanied my 2006 visa renewal explaining the reason for the delayed application.

However, two pieces of information would later question the strength of my application. First, my passport had an immigration stamp error which suggests that I was 8 months outside the UK from Dec 2003 and July 2004. That already meant a single stay of 6 months outside the UK I was ineligible for ILR. Meaning the burden of proof lied on me to factually show I was residing in the UK during the said period. I had destroyed every shred of evidence including school letters, school assignments, bank statements, utility bills, tenancy and other correspondence. I would later find evidence to back up my claim in an unfamiliar territory.

Second, my SAR report revealed two disturbing errors. It revealed I applied for visa renewal twice in 2003 and 2004, which of course it's incorrect. It also revealed each of the first application for each year were "void and inappropriate". And it also showed the second application of 2004 had a two-day gap. I accidentally saw a section of my visa renewal application form in the SAR pack carrying information of my class attendance from Sep. 2003 and July 2004. What a strong piece of information to prove I was indeed residing in the UK from Dec 2003 and July 2004.

Before applying for ILR, I wrote to the SAR department raising the errors. They wrote back acknowledging they don't know why my record showed I applied for visa twice in 2003 and 2004 when in fact I applied just once. They also don't know why those applications were "void and inappropriate" when in fact I received grant of leave. They also acknowledged those records wouldn't affect future applications including ILR made by me.

Hopefully, my story would help others. Should you want further clarification or questions to ask, please feel free to do so.
