My application has been approved, with history as follows:
Application posted on: 18 August 2014
Acknowledgement letter dated: 20 August 2014
Biometric invitation letter dated: 12 September 2014
Biometrics enrolled on: 19 September 2014
Approval letter dated: 15 November 2014
Documents returned on: 19 September 2014
My case history is on the google tracker but I wanted to share the following peculiarities:
- I had 66 counts of overseas trips, including 45 work-related (note - only whole days spent away from the UK are counted if you are concerned about multiple trips)
- Many of my passport stamps had faded (so don't worry if yours are also, as long as you can represent the exact dates of travel)
- I submitted my degree certificate instead of English test certificate (it was not clear if they needed it but I provided to be on the safe side)
- In terms of documentation, all I submitted was the (a) completed application form, (b) Life in the UK Test pass notification letter, (c) passports, (d) biometric resident permit card, (e) degree certificate, (f) photographs and (g) photocopies of photo and stamped pages in my passports.
- I was tempted to provide other information at first but decided to keep it simple and sent just the information asked; I felt unnecessary extra information would only annoy the caseworker and perhaps even slow down the process
I have to say I am very pleased to have received a decision within three months, having prepared myself for longer. And for those who read my previous thread, my docs were returned to my home address instead of my correspondence address in error, and I only received the documents today because my neighbour picked up the mail but only handed it to me earlier.
All the best.
Your 10-year qualifying period starts from when you were given permission to stay in the UK BUT ONLY IF YOU HAD TRAVEL WITH THE 3 MONTHS TIMEsajnan wrote:hi
i came to uk on 10th dec 2004 on student visa however my visa was issued on 1st november 2004. i know we should not send the ILR application more than 28 days before the qualifying period. my question is whether someone has successfully applied for ILR based on the date when visa was issued?or we should follow the date when the applicant enetered uk.
UKIV GUidance says:
Your 10-year qualifying period starts from either:
when you arrived in the UK with a visa
when you were given permission to stay in the UK

Thanks brother ali45 for your kind reply. That's what my understanding as well but just sent a covering letter and all the addresses to Home Office as additional info just in case! You never know with these people. Remember us in your prayer as I'll do the same for you.[/quote]shasus7 wrote:ali45 wrote:Hi i just wana tell u that in my previous T 1 App i only provided 3 years information which is actually the same in ILR app so my visa was approved and then did,nt ask for five years history and now in my ILR app i did the same so i think u will be fine with that thanks.

Hi guys, I've just come across something that's really bugging my mind now. I've applied for Set (LR) on Sept 15, 2014. Just waiting now but I just saw some queries regarding the address in Set (LR) form! Well for B14 and 15, I've put my Home address for B14 where I've been living for a year and half and B15 I've put down my previous address where I lived for one year. Reading the question then, it didn't occur to me that all previous 5 years addresses may be necessary! Now I see some or most of you guys added duplicate page and gave all 5 years addresses. So is that a problem? I mean the question clearly doesn't say to provide addresses for all previous 5 years! I'm a bit apprehensive now. Has anyone experienced this before? Got approved? Please do let me know, I need some peace of mind badly. I applied for my wife's FLR(M) recently and it clearly mentions to give addresses covering past two years but Set (LR) was not clear at all! Worst case scenario will the request for further information or reject the application because of this? My application is hopefully pretty straightforward. Thanks guys.

if you have previously proved english skills using the IELTS, then you can continue to use the same cert for your ILRtuhin wrote:Dear Seniors,
Please help me by giving answers of my following queries:
1. I'm going to apply for ILR in Jan 2015, my last IELTS expired last month, I can remember last year someone in here mentioned UKBA accepts expired IELTS for ILR purposes. Do I need to sit for IELTS again??
2. Do my wife need to sit for IELTS as UKBA will not give her ILR? she has been with me for last 7 years.
Please please let me know. Many Thanks.
Kind Regards,
Tuhin
