10 years long residence applications

[veryconfused.com]

Hi All,

Sorry I got busy with lots of things so did not update you about my status.
I have received my approval on 23rd (dated 21st) and BRP on 24th. This forum has helped me a lot to keep my nerves and also track when to expect an answer. Thanks a lot to everyone and Good luck to all who are waiting.
Lastly Spatacus, thanks for your good wishes although I must correct you just to say it should have been sister and not "bro"

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all!

Hi Everyone,

Just like everyone I have been eagerly waiting for some news to come through the post. Finally the royal mail webpage shows that my post is on its way and should be with me tomorrow. Just like sikilr and ilr10yr, I guess I will hear something tomorrow. Fingers crossed!!!!

Good luck to all. We might just get a Xmas present early!

Hi veryconfused.com,
Its nice to see approvals coming in just before Christmas. Am so pleased with everyone who have checked their RM return envelopes and see that the status has changed from come back later to its on its way.
Congratulations in advance bro.

Just contacted HO and was told 1) some September applications recently started to be considered and 2) October applications will follow in March 2015 the earliest. Hence, I understand that all those waiting September are facing two long waiting months. Good luck to everyone!

That's totally wrong info you got. They can't say that October application will be considered in March. As they don'tknow how long it gonna take and could be much earlier than that.

No offence, that is what I was told. I pressume they have guesstimates based on historical data. Hope you are right and things are sorted out much earlier for all of us. Merry Christmas.

Hi all,

Been a silent reader too, I am tracking and following up on behalf of my husband's ILR.

we applied on the 26th August too (on my birthday ),
the acknowledgment and biometric done dates, I don't remember , been asking hubby but he has to look up the letter and he has been busy with work lately, so those dates I might update later.


But yes, been waiting for his ILR since last week of Nov and now looks like it might well be next year
there quiet a few applicants waiting from the same date I believe, anyways All the Best to all. Hope New year starts on a positive note for everyone In sha Allah.

pls add me to the timeline. thanks

This was my post earlier this week.

It is just one application -my Husband's
I requested to be added to the timeline but looks like haven't been yet.
If some could , will be grateful as I don't wish to mess with it.


Thanks

Totally agree with shahfurqan as one of my friend got his ILR recently with 3 months and 14 days time and his T1 Visa valid until end of NOV 2016

HO application processing criteria is also dependent on the visa expiry date of each applicants. If someone's current visa is due to be expired soon, he or she will get priority on those who's visa is going to be expired later.

@arsal,mate this may be your opinion but to me this argument is not really strong and if this was the case then HO should have warned applicants already whose visas are not going to expire soon as majority of applicants who applied still got validity in their visas but they have received their ilr in an average time.

[imraniqbal2010]

We have 8 September approval, so by mid of Jan September applications should be completed.

As told earlier that BRP not been received but today luckily I received before bank holidays. Guys this DX courier is horrible because their post men not good. Today by chance I open the door and get the BRP otherwise the delivery women just leave the message card and go. I personally think that DX courier should be replaced with royal mail special delivery which is million percent better.

What a JOKE!!!

Spoke with HO today again for Application Progress!

The operater says that the application has not yet been allocated to case worker as yet and I am well within average application time frame!

I applied on 28th Aug.

Few days back I rang to HO and the lady goes its in process and continue to wait.

Thats really strange considering Sep guys getting approval.

In my case, I had one stolen passport, could that be the reason?

Can I ask you that what documents did you provide to home office to prove your 10 years as your passport was lost/stolen.

I didnt provide proofs of all 10 years as I have sent 2 passports. 1 passport missing which had 1.5 years student visa. For that I have sent university degree and transcripts. Old university letter stating satisfactory attendence. Police report, bank letter stating 10 years of active account.HO reference letter. Copy of lost passport and visa. Ticket copy as my return stemp was on the lost passport and few payslips. NHS Letter but I could not get it for whole of 10 years including some period of lost passport as my university couldnt retrive 3 years old medical record. I hope thats sufficent

Hi guys

I rang HO this morning to ask about my case progress and I also asked whether has it been assigned to any caseworker but I just have been told that the system only shows my case has been received then I said madam thank you for your kind update as the acknowledgement letter I got two and half months ago already confirmed my application been received.does anybody know it might be a different sort of receive terminology.to me it sound real pathetic.

[LastPhase1]

I just spoke to a very helpful lady at the HO and she said my case is still with the case worker. She said call back next year and if it is ready, i should request the royal mail tracking number. I will not be checking this Forum or calling HO till next year. I am off to enjoy my xmas and new year...Merry xmas everyone!!!!!

Hi Everyone,

I am pleased to share my good news with you. I have just today received my documents back as well as BRP with ilr. I applied on 05/09/14 and the biometric was done on 2/10/14. I was expecting it in January because of Christmas but been lucky that it has been through early. It shows that at least the first two weeks of September applicants might get their approval before the new year! My assessment is that if your application is straight forward without any complexity you should get the decision without further delays. However, whatever complex is your case might be you should ultimately get ILR on this category as this route is in my view is the only straightforward route without providing so much paper work to the HO. Apparently with all other routes you have to fulfil lots of stringent criteria. So, my best wishes to you all guys who has completed their lawful ten years in this country. I know it is difficult to wait but your patience will bring very good news soon, particularly if you consider the recent strict immigration rules and lot of negative propaganda about the immigrants. It will be even more difficult to get any settlement in this country. So, my best wishes and good luck to all you guys who have completed their journey or near to completion. Thank you guys for your support and advice and please fell free to ask me anything should you like to know. I am going to update in the tracker for other members to follow. Now is the time to celebrate... mizanbg

Congrats Mizanbg enjoy your freedom n respect the laws of the land

Congrats Mizanbg.... Green eye monster from me. Enjoy your xmas present!!!!

Hello & Merry Xmas, apologies been silent lately. I called HO n been told that my case is with case worker. I applied on the 18th September.
My experience from the tracker assures me that we have about a week or 2 to wait for a decision. Lets see if something comes out soon

As per normal I can not go without giving out some prophecies, @Maddysheffield told u you will get your ILR on the 6th it will still not change, Spacatus like fielddrive before u, u will smile before new year. I am seeing 10 more september application coming before 31st (Yes yours is among the 10)

We will be revealing names of the people getting freedom next week

In the meantime relax n enjoy your xmas

I agree with you but the disparity in dates is too much, how can someone that applied on the 26th, 27th and 28th of August not get theirs before someone that applied on the 20th of September? expect one or 2 variations but what we have seen in the past days have been out of place.

To all those who are confused that HO approvals are sporadic which they are as always

The reason being that when applications are allocated to case workers they in my view give first 5 days apps to one case worker next 5 days to another and so on and hence

01-05 sep ////// might have approval
05-10 sep might have some
10-15 might have one approval
15-20 might have one approval
20-25 might have one approval
25-30 might have one approval .

This would be reason why we always gets approvals not in a date order but sporadic as Lastphase1 ( keeping in mind there might be other reasons for delay too like complexity of application.... inability of Case worker s )

Availability of case workers to take decisions at holidays is worth a note too even though administrators who check all your documents , English, passport stamps, criminality, and send it to case worker but if the case workers on holiday during festive season everything halts and that might be reason for some AUG applicants still not received their approvals ./


This is my understanding looking at the tracker and my personal experience in working for organisation similar to HO .

Yes I do agree with you as this is really close analysis.i called HO today to get some update but all they said is being received on their system though I applied on 29th September.
