Hello Peter77 I just googled and came up with this - hope it's helpful: http://www.justice.gov.uk/downloads/tri ... ham-ts.pdf
http://www.tribunals.gov.uk/Immigration ... tlists.htm

and if you refresh this link daily ; you will get a listing of all cases in that particular court.
The site is refreshed at 3pm for the next day hearing.
As I said use my guide to choose appropriate case.

I think I recall vaguely somewhere along the line someone posted about applying under the 20 year rule - was that yourself? Since there are no other known 20 year applicants, can you please give us a summary your timeline using the style that the rest of us have - this may help other 20 year applicants who may stumble upon this forum.

just your private life in uk. if you are married or have kids you put evidence of these with the Flro application you are usually given. 2.5yrs under 10 long residence rule
or if you have any compassionate reasons why the secretary of state should exercise her discretion.

I have not been here for a while and I am so pleased to see the many positive outcomes for most of you guys. Congrats to all of you !. I wish the very best to the guys who are going through the appeal process. Thanks for posting so much useful information on the appeals procedure.
My life is currently upside down and coming back here has given me renewed hope and positivity.
I can see, there is a little mix-up between my username-14yearUK and 14years. I am the one still awaiting a decision and 14years` application has been successful.
I called the home office this morning and was advised that a decision has been made on my case and a package has been dispatched to me today (the lady asked me to call later for the tracking number).
I will soon update you on the outcome as soon as I open the package (.....when my hands stop shaking !)

Hello pink nails....the home office number is 0870 606 77 66. You can cut the length of your call by NOT listening to the automated menu.

The trick is:

Press 4 as soon as the first automated menu starts. This will take you to the second automated menu !.

Press 4 again as soon as the second automated menu starts. This will subsequently take you to a ringing tone, which eventually takes you to a human being (usually after one or two automated announcements !).

Hello guys.....I am very disappointed with the Home Office. I called them this morning hoping to get the tracking number of my package as advised yesterday. I was puzzled when a rather arrogant gentleman told me that my case has not yet been decided so I have to wait until I hear from the home office. I told him about my call yesterday. He explained that they dont give out such information on a case until a tracking number is generated. I then advised him that I wanted to make an official complaint due to the incosistent information I received from the home office. He put me on hold for FOUR minutes whilst he spoke to his team leader. He came back to me and explained that instead of escalating the issue into a formal complaint, he could assist me by making an urgent enquiry with the Caseworking team and someone would get back to me within 24hrs with more details on my case.

So I am now waiting for the call .My guess is...it will be the usual generic information.

Hello 14yearsUK, maybe the first Caseworker you spoke to jumped the gun. All I can say is STAY STRONG!! At least now you have a timeline for receiving your response from the HO re your application. You need to stay positive and keep a clear mind for your life AFTER you receive your ILR. Why don't you channel your energies into trying to look for a job because by the time you actually find the right one etc., and probably attend interviews, you would have received your ILR and then the transition would be easier for you. Make this set back work for you - good luck!!
