Application Timeline
Eligibility criteria: Tier 1 General 5 yr + 18 Months ILR
Proof of English Language: UK Masters + Points Based Calculator printout + Life in the UK certificate (+Docs used to prove English knowledge in my initial Tier 1 application = Outside UK Degree +letter from university to confirm Degree was taught in English +NARIC UK Standard comparable confirmation letter).
Method of application: Postal (Special Delivery)
Date Posted: 10 Dec 2014
Date of receipt by UKBA: 11 Dec 2014 (i.e. Royal Mail Tracked confirmation of receipt).
Payment Method: Visa Card
Date of debit of fees: 17 Dec 2014 (i.e. £906 Deducted)
Date of receipt of acknowledgement: 05 Jan 2015
Date of receipt of approval: 14 Jan 2015 (Dated 12 Jan 2015)
Date of Ceremony: 29 Jan 2015

Updates:
Received letter with application form from HO on 05 Jan 2015 stating that, the 5 years eligibility criteria is calculated back from the day the application is received (i.e. 11 Dec 2014 to 11 Dec 2009) so the fact that I have stayed continuously in this country for 10 years is irrelevant. I was out of the country on 11 Dec 2009 and returned on 05 Jan 2010 so I have to re-sign my application form and submit after 05 Jan 2015 (before 02 Feb 2015) which I have done. Whew!!! I never knew that was the case though.

Not a new thing. Have seen HO asking people to attend interview. Its either to check your identity or check your knowledge of English.

[Waq28]

Hi, ya I am still waiting for approval. Its been nearly 7 months. I called HO after completing the wait of 6 months and they said my application is still under consideration and I was advise by the operator to write a letter to HO Liverpool to get an update on my application. I sent a letter last week and waiting to hear back from them.
Hope to hear back soon.....

Just hoping to get it soon

Why did you send letter from work, payslips and p60s? I thought that that was not required if you have all the passports?
