After the drastic changes in immigration rules on 06/04/2014, pre 9th July, 2012 PBS dependents won't be able to combine any time spent as PBS dependent with FLR(M) to qualify for ILR and their qualifying time period of 5 years will start from the day they are granted an FLR(M), if the main applicant gains indefinite leave to remain based on 10 years of long residence.
I am sure there would be hundreds including me who are being affected adversely with this change in rules because this means that we are no more covered under the transitional arrangements - Part 8.
We are now about to challenge the rule in coming week. Please come forward and join us

Lets come forward please and join either our Facebook page or whats-app group. Make your contribution and save not only yours but others families too for going into stress and anxiety.

Good idea, call them and see. Also I noticed your biometric date is unusually late for someone who applied in September but than can happen if the case worker was on leave etc so nothing to worry. See what the HO says today.

effell007 wrote:Hi All,
I have applied 26.9.14 and Bio received 17.11.14 and enrollment done on 26.11.14. It's been not only so frustrating but also worrying too as I haven't received anything from them yet. i have literally called everyday last week and same old reply.."App under progress". Now, does anyone know whether applications being processed on the basis of Application date or Bio-metric date.
Hi effell007.
According to home office application considered on the basses of application date not biometric date if you enrole your biometric within 15 days of biometric enrolment invitation letter date. I understand it is very frustrating and very painful to wait specially when we have spent 10 best years of life in here. But remember patience is vitru. May almighty Allah give you and all other waiting success and approval soon.

A few questions for those who have already received ILR:
1. How long does it take for the documents to come to you, the lady mentioned that the case worker has updated the records yesterday (Sunday) with the tracking number.
2. Does the HO works on a Sunday?
Thanks,
A very nervous person
When did you called HO? around what time.
Around 10am
Thank you.
I will try to call them tomorrow. It's now been five months since i apply ILR, hopefully I will have some news too.

Dont worry mate.. God willing it will b a good news for you!
I had the recent same xperience with you .... If you havnt send the spl delivery envelope then you will get today if not then you should get it tmrw (tues) as HO sends 2nd class signed for which takes 2-3 working days.
good luck!
Thanks I haven't sent an envelope, in hindsight I should have.
