I answered the survey - let just hope that all the comments will be taken on board. Thanks Geostar for the link provided.

Chiko14Juneand CoolboyUK - are you still following the forum? If you received anything from BIA please share you news.

I'm sorry just reading your post late. I'm still waiting for the result.
My useless lawyer asked me to wait for another 3 months and then they MAY consider taking further action...

Applied 18/08/2010 still waiting (6 year student + 4 year WP)

[powermatic]

Really excited... definitely few beers this afternoon..

[Happyday]

Hi guys, I am very happy to tell u guys that I got my passport back yesterday (10yrs). Got a call from my lawyer at 12.02pm. It was as if a noose taken off my neck at a gallow. I felt relieved and celebrated with a £14 domino pizza (2- buy one-get-one free coincidentally on tuesdays at my local) Not bad!

I came across this forum by sheer chance while trying to find out how long the processing actually takes, then I followed it coz I thought we are all in the same boat BUT COULD NOT BRING MYSELF TO JOIN then to constant bickering by members on who and who is not lying, however I must admit that the forum was quite helpful and it was a shoulder I leaned on most especially during the dark and long lonely days.

I sincerely wish you guys good news, and if I may, can I quickly make couple of points b4 i disappear-

1) Recently, a member said he/she contacted his MP and his MP contacted HO on his behalf and he got his papers back shortly after that, was just wondering why an MP would want to contact the HO when there are other thousand applicants that have been waiting for gods knows when- regardless the category. And does that mean coz an MP made contact the HO will allow applicants to jump queue?

2) Wondering why member put up their details on display while still waiting for decision to be made Eg application date, acknowledgement date and so on and they go on and slam the HO on the forum.

3) And lastly on the MP. I believe we all agree on the duties and obligations of MPs most especially to their communities and I sincerely believe that are all doing great job and they all mean well, likewise I believe we are intelligent enough to know whose corner they are on.

PLS NOTE- I SINCERELY HOPE YOU WILL UNDERSTAND AND RESPECT THE FACT THAT I DID NOT DISCLOSE WHEN I MADE THE APPLICATION, WHERE IT WAS GRANTED AND SO ON.

Did you have to pay for the legal fee upfront?

If there is one thing I have learned from my application, that would be never pay fees up front, or at least there should be the 'fee on successful application' type of agreement. Searching on the interenet comes up a few of them, which I should have used.

I heard there is 'fee on successful application' type of agreement out there. However, I am not using one of those but paid fees up front already in the beginning. Due to the fact I overstayed in my 10 years stay, I thought it would be better if there is a lawyer handling the application for me. I was wrong as I don't see what they care about my application very much. If I were to apply that myself, I would have done a lot to chase the UKBA.

I am going to chase them without through my lawyer. I would suggest everyone applying not to use a lawyer if possible. That is only a waste of money.

Instead of a 'shoot and scoot' policy which this userid may have originally intended, what comes across, instead, after reading this userid's post is an incoherent rambling of a rather disoriented person. Enough said....

[faismala]

I just got a letter from the ukba sheffield after 4 months requesting my wife to vary her application to flr(M)because i applied for her on flr(O) both of our visa expired on the same date APR 2010 so i applied my ilr on set(O )in march 2010 (COMPLETING TEN YEARS) and my wife visa on flr(O) apr 2010,does it tell any thing that my application has being looked at.........but what could the decision be ? GUYS PLZ ENLIGHTEN !

[niceperson2233]

I received my passport with ilr stamp , applied in february and received last week on basis of long residence.

I need to apply for my wife now using FLR (M) form, she is tier 1 dependant as i was on PSW and i am working now
I need to change her status now as i have got ILR, so what documents are needed for FLR (M).

Thanks

[coolboyuk]

Dear Fellow ILR waiters , I received my Passport with ILR stamped on the 4th . Sorry to get back to you guys this late as I had a problem with dodgy WiFi connection.

Also, would like to point out that our incompetent postman just threw the envelope through the door letter box without pressing the buzzer or even knock on the door. It was a 2nd class recorded delivery to be signed for. [Should I complain????] .
I wonder how he would get away with it if it had been lost or misplaced. ????????

Anyways, the summary:

Applied on: 22nd Jan 2010
ILR stamped: 25th Aug 2010
ILR received: 4th Sep 2010
Total waiting: almost 32 weeks

Good luck to all of you.

[ILR-2010]

Congratulations Coolboy,
God bless us all!!!

[zeddie]

People plz tell me do i have to pay the fee again to vary application for my wife from flr(o) to flr(m)(considering case worker has sent me his adress label for sheffield with an flr(m) form.

[coolboyuk]

thanks powermatic mate.

and , since the case worker sent you the label , you just need to send the flr m back . however i am not entirely sure, especially the fees. why don't you give them a call to clarify this faismala.

Congrats coolboyuk
