What happened to those who are waited to more then 6month for ILR Stage and they are all affected to the new rules after October 2013 for naturalisation because ESOL and Life in the uk test both will require to show but the problem is that there is lots of people from July and Aug club member`s were received their ILR in mid Feb 2013 they were all affected for naturalisation I don`t know what we can do but just hopping from the home office they will extending time line for Naturalisation for Set protection Route ILR holder.

It seems you are very stressed about the new changes, we would need to do Life in the UK test anyhow.
Regarding the new ESOL addition, I have not read the full guidance
But do you not hold any English language qualifications??

what sort of job do you hold? because you could argue that you communicate throughout work, however I am not an expert

[Ahmed008]

I received the letter today from the Home Office to say I have received the IRL and the BRP will come separately. The letter came with all my original documents (sent with application) from Royal Mail and I signed for it. Yesterday DX tried to deliver something but I was not available at home to accept delivery. I have rearranged delivery for next week. I paid extra £6.13 to get the delivery AM (9-1pm) otherwise they deliver from 9-5pm.

I wish everyone good luck and thank you all for your input.

Application sent: 20/02/2013
Biometric letter received: 14/03/2013
Biometric submitted: 16/03/2013
BRP sent to home but no one available: 19/04/2013
Original Documents sent back to me with letter: 20/04/2013
BRP delivered (hopefully we will get it this time): 23/04/2013


[quote="Ahmed008"]I applied for the ILR after a 5 year refugee status.

This is my timeline:

Application sent: 20/02/2013
Biometric letter received: 14/03/2013
Biometric submitted: 16/03/2013

I am still waiting for an answer. It is the worst wait anyone has to endure.
I wish they made this process more clear so we can tell our employers at what stage our application is. Its really difficult if you have a job and your visa status is pending. I wouldn't have minded paying more money so they make this process quicker and more efficient.[/quote]

[ibrahimfareed]

Hi all. Any new news . Anyone in the forum had answer from homeoffice about ILR. I submitted my Biometrics on 8th of April 2013 and still waiting. It is really very stressful to wait.

[Peterpan81]

I will be moving now to the Citizenship Thread forum after submitting my application for Naturalisation yesterday, thanks for this forum for all the advice and help provided.

Wish all those who are still awaiting desicions the best of luck, remember there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, waiting is frustrating but all will be forgotten once you see the BRP card.

Thanks again.
See you there

[Peterpan81]

dear all, submitted application 1/11/12, Biometric 9/1/13 and nothing yet! what do you think i should do now?

your 6 month period will be ending in few days 01/05/2013.
Have you got your MP involved, if not suggest do that.

Also after 01/05/2013 call the home Office where you have the right to enquire about your application as the 6 month period has passed already.

[Serina26]

Hi Peterpan!

Good news this morning! I was woken up by the postman knocking on my door delivering a letter from the HO informing me that my application was successful. In the same letter, all the documents I enclosed in my application, including my Travel Document, were returned. Half an hour later, my Biometric Residence Permit was delivered by a different special courier who asked me for proof of id.

Here is my timeline:

Application date: 27th December 2012
Received by HO: 28th December 2012
Biometric received: 27th January 2013 (dated 24th January 2013)
Biometric done: 27th January 2013
ILR received: 26th April 2013

Soo four months in total!

I am relieved I don't have to wait any longer, and that I am now able to travel abroad as I couldn't do so while my application was on hold. I wish all of you guys on here a lot of success. Be patient, I am sure you will all get your ILR soon!

Best wishes!

Congratulation to whom who were granted.
Doely did you brought it your family as re union or thy are already in your claim if your wife is qualified residency requirement then you can request for reconsideration but if you brought after you were granted then leave it for next year.

Hello babe khyber,

thank you for your recent post. we are the very unfortunate couple, I had waited 10 years to get LLR. I met my wife over here and it took 4 months to get initial marriage approval then we finally got married in Aug 2010. when she applied her spouse visa, I got just 2 more years left on my LLR. as you know home office takes ages to do their job and when her spouse visa was granted my LLR got left just 1 years 9 months 17 days. so they gave her exactly what I got left on my LLR not usual pattern of 2 years spouse visa.

I know a lot of people got given longer visa than whom they depend on. I heard some of my friends got ILR straight after living as 2 years spouse visa even though main applicant status were still in LLR.

people are suffering because their huge delays on not doing their job properly has effect hugely on other human beings.

anyway thanks again for your concern.

thank you everyone....

Hi Peterpan,

Are you sure we are allowed to do that. How about the 12 months residency requirement. I know in the past that was not required or HO was not too bothered about it. I have many friends who applied after their ILR and got their application accepted during 2010 to 2012 without waiting 12 months. Bear in mind those people were from legacy cases and they were all living in the UK for more than 6 years at the time of their apllications. However, i have heard that recently HO refuses anyone applying before the 12 months residency period!! No matter how long they have lived here, they should wait and be free for at least 12 months from immigration control..

I know until July 2012 HO was not too bothered about it as one of my friend's naturalisation application got accepted straight after his ILR. But i read a post on the naturalisation thread the other day and an applicant was refused and was asked to wait for 12 months after his/her ILR.

Do you know anyone personally that have applied lately and got their application accepted. Cos i am in the same boat as you are. As a matter of fact i have already applied. I applied 10 days after i got my ILR. So far no news but i am really stressed and almost sure that they will refuse me.

Please let me know of anything you might know on this matter, I would appreciate anyone else who may have got some news for I and Peterpan..

Thanks

You are correct, but the only exemption from that if you are married to aBC then you dont need to wait for 12 months as far as you can prove with your ILR your presence physically and lawfully in the UK for the last 3 years.... NCS went through the checklist when I applied and fullfiled their criteria.

I still do not understand, how those people i know, never had any problems when they applied. Its very strange but thanks for your reply.


Only one way to find out, its either 874 pounds wasted or a fast track naturalisation process...
