You're welcome vien. I think it is only fair that ppl who have read this forum share their info back, if they haven't already, to try and help others.

Hi Sagor,

I would suggest that you wait passports are coming between 11-12 weeks. the home office usually asks you not to contact them before 10 weeks have passed. I hope you get your passports soon.

Regards

ah_kassem
I am sure your passport will be back in the next week or so

Good News to share

Post by neerukonda9 » Tue Nov 29, 2011 9:17 am

Good Morning

Happy to share you the news that my ILR application is successful and below is the detailed info.

Posted on 28/09/11
Reached Payment Section 29/09/11
Acknowledgement on 03/10/11
Passport stamped on 22/11/11
Passport received 28/11/11(sent to my OLD address even though mentioned in covering letter to send work address.

I have gap in visa stamps once for 10 days in 2005 and again 25 days , But I must tell you that I made the applications on both occasions in time and I forgot to mention that in the covering letter and I sent last week(Thursday) another letter to highlight these gaps and reasons behind but decision was already made and passport stamped by the time letter reached.

I haven't enclosed SAS or MP letter or Reply Envelope.
I have enclosed 6 months pay slips, bank statements and Employer letter along with P60.

I believe as long as we make the application in time or even with 10days gap just once the application will be successful and I spoke to my lawyer
HO rep and they did if the passport is lying with HO technically the applicant is under 'deemed leave' and that will not be considered as gap even though there is a gap in the visa stampings.

So I request every awaiting applicant just don't rely on the visa stampings
but HO might have got their own records and interpretations for rules in place.

Finally even if everything in place unless GOD's will is with you things could go wrong.

Please let me know if you any pending applicants got any queries I am happy to support within my available info and resources.

GOOD LUCK to all the waiting applicants and a BIG thank you for the MODERATORS of this forum specially 'Mr. Mehta, Vein. AK'

Many thanks again for the support and useful info from this forum.

Maruti

hi vanilla82

dont worry, normally time starts from acknow letter. if your case is straight forward which it seems then you dont have to worry. it can take longer than normal (as it happened in my case) but they cant reject.

best of luck

Congrats to ah_kassem and Raja and everyone else who received their ILR.

My 8th week commence today and I'm somewhat nervous.

I know it's only week 8 but, people did receive their passports back this early too right?

I just want to know already....

Btw, in case of refusal, is there a right of appeal?

Good week everyone :-)
