yes. i agree with the comments.. ILR approvals has slowed down & my solicitor has confirmed he is yet to receive almost 95% of the applications made in April first week..i applied on 27th April, so i am not expecting anything to happen atleast for another 4 weeks for me .. if not more...anyone receiving your passports please update the forum for the benifit of the other members please

maybe delaying ILR processing is probably the new strategy of the government to bring the approval stats down

Thanks for all the updates, so thought I'd give something back.

My experience - little bit complex due to spouse visa and delayed entry to UK.

2 year spouse visa expiring March 2011, however ILR could not be gained as 2 year qualifying period started May 9th 2009 (due to delay in arriving the UK).

SO

Extension to 2 year spouse visa applied for Jan 9th 2011
UKBA contacted to say that it's not worth them extending the spouse visa and then me having to apply for ILR in April/May, so they would keep my passport and process my ILR from mid April. Had to send in SET(M) with debit card details for the difference in cost between ILR and spouse extension.

Biometrics done end of January
Additional payment taken May 9th 2011
No other acknowledgement letters since original submission in Jan for spouse extension
Had contact address for case manager so sent a letter 15th June explaining the wait I have had
Passport received 28th June
ILR page in passport 22nd June

Long wait but worth it!

We sent for my husbands set m ILR at the beginning of february.

Payment was taken almost straight away but we had to send the certificate from his ESOL qualification a little later as it hadnt arrived. It was sent by the 2nd week of February.

We have never received an acknowledgement letter and still no visa.

I have called numerous times and they assure me there is no problem and it's just a matter of waiting but its been around 18 or 19 weeks now so I am worrying.
