phoned BIA today - it is my 17th week and a first phonecall, was told that still in process and the lady on the phone was not very friendly I must say..., dont think it had anything to do with me, she probably spoke to someone rude beforehand
so, it seems I will be waiting for at least another month - sad!
just a thought - considering that timeline for those who spent 10 years solely as students is entirely different, perhaps it makes sence to create separate thread
congratulations to you! it was mentioned here again and again that those who are on the work permit or are here as highly skilled and working get a lot faster response then anybody else. So, you do not need to worry about being shouted at as your quick outcome did not surprise anyonehrushiuk wrote:I hope I'm not gonna get shouted at but I got my passport etc back from my lawyer with ILR stamp.it is dated the 25/06/2010!
Yes, we noticed that too a while ago. I think thats part of the reason why in the waiting list we started writing what the basis of a persons 10 year application was on.cloudstar wrote:I could be wrong but reading the received list appears as though those whose long stay are a combination of work permit or various seem to get their ILR quicker than those whose stay is 10years student, has anyone else noticed that?
I have noticed it too. I think Home Office might be giving priority to those who are on a work visa. Or maybe I might just be completely wrong on this.cloudstar wrote:I could be wrong but reading the received list appears as though those whose long stay are a combination of work permit or various seem to get their ILR quicker than those whose stay is 10years student, has anyone else noticed that?

Thank you for those thoughtful words kiwigirl25kiwigirl25 wrote: Fabulous and amazing news durian
You live in Scotland? Now that does make sense as to why your MP was so accommodating. I lived in Scotland for 11 years and my MP very much had a presence so I wouldn't hesitate asking for his support. Actually for a while my MP was Donald Dewar and I lived next door to him so no wonder he had a presence in my life
You tick all the right boxes; commonwealth citizen, homeowner, work in a sector important to the local economy, live in an area not over-crowded with immigrants... no wonder you received a quick response.
I am honestly really chuffed for you. Nice to see a genuine poster get a well deserved speedy postive response.
All the very best for your future. I hope it continues to be a fortunate one
How very kind of you. 
Labour's strong where I live, although the Scottish Parliament MP is from SNP. My Labour Westminster MP is really quite involved with his constituents, but I know he wasn't going to rubberstamp his support for everyone. I'd committed to Scotland early; before being on HSMP, I was on the Scottish Fresh Talent visa. I did an intercalated year at QMW, Uni of London which entailed attending classes at the Whitechapel campus. East London is a world away from the typical Scottish town and I could easily understand how different MP's stance on immigration is affected by the make-up of their consituencies.

Thank you kiwigirl25. I just didn't expect to hear the good news so soon.
I think I am very lucky living in my constituency (in Scotland). I had actually gotten in touch with his office to make a complaint about potholes in my area which appeared like mushroom after the last winter we had (I drive and also cycle - the potholes are real hazards, not just nuisances). Managed to see him at his surgery and amongst others he asked about my background.
I work in an industry which is highly relevant to our gerographical area both economically and socially. Have written articles in the local newspaper on the subject. The MP was genuinely intrigued by this and when he queried I said that I have been on the electorally registered and active from the time I first arrived more than a decade ago (I'm a Commonwealth citizen too, from Malaysia hence my nickname
I'm very lucky I know, and thank my lucky stars. From time of receipt of application to decision being made, it took 19 days. And this for a long residence ILR! I sincerely wish everyone else all the best.
Couldn't even tell you the name of my MP in London, all I know is I didn't vote for him Thank you kiwigirl25.

Your fast response will be because you applied on a HSMP basis. Similar applicants in the past have received quick responses.
So I hope it is good news. Surprised your MP decided to get involved at the application stage. You must be one of the lucky few in this country to have such a supportive MP, especially when one of the Government's main objectives is to reduce immigrant numbers.
Good luck and I hope you will have something to celebrate in the near future.
) am a homeowner. He offered to give a letter of support should I wish which I naturally accepted. (First had to give my CV to his PA). He was a 2 term Labour candidate at the time (and has worn the third term recently- quite well liked by the electorate here), and politically with both the SNP and Lib Dems in the picture I can only imagine that he's sensitive to getting the immigration balance right. Both my acknowledgement letter (received yesterday) and accompanying ILR letter (received today) originated from Liverpool. Specifically UKBA Managed Migration, Immigration and Nationality Directorate.sam_lam15 wrote:hello Durian,durian wrote:I've received a letter from UKBA dated the 25th June saying that a decision has been taken.

I am sure that you are getting your ILR very soon, the reason for the faster processing is because all applications submitted from mid April have been forwarded to the new process centre in Liverpool, those sent before April are stuck in Croydon or Sheffield. and if your application is straightforward, Liverpool office will issue your ILR between 3-8 weeks.
good luck Durian, and I have also PM you, please check.
