ILR postal applications (excluding 10/14 yr.)

[oct2011]

sorry to hear that your efforts to speed up the case haven't brought any results yet. I feel really angry that it takes them so long to decide and that they don't provide any info about the progress whatsoever. It also looks like the set (O) JR is the least favourable group, as the average wait is so long. Fuming!

Thanks VN. I am beyond angry at how we've been treated. We have a very straightforward case. 2 years HSMP + 3 years Tier 1. If we've been identified as Highly Skilled /Tier 1 i.e earning the high salary levels that translates to high percentage of tax for them (all that without recourse to benefits for 5 years), isn't the least that we can expect is that our visa processing doesn't take 6 months? And let's not forget the ILR processing fee. This forum is great and thank you to all the people who have contributed and are keeping up the list. Just wish I'd seen this at the time of application. We would have booked for same day service. I believe someone (in this forum?) was writing a formal complaint regarding the time taken for processing, without even the access to an online status tracking system for applicants (astounding coming from a technologically advanced country like UK). Does anyone have an update on that? Was it sent and did they receive a response? Is there some way we can inform the media? My British colleagues are shocked by my story. They can't believe how inefficient their border agency is.

Hi All!

Good day, could someone please add me to the list of SET 0 applicants, my timeline is as follows:

SET 0
Long residency/ 10 years student
Applied on 25/2 2012
HO Receive app 28/2/2012
Acknowledgement letter receive3/3/2012, dated 29/2/2012
Payment was done by postal order
Waiting over 3 weeks

Thanks in advance

Hi Lovelyislovely
I can't add you to the list, as, if I'm not mistaken, this is the list of people applying for ILR but excl. 10/14 years. There is a different waiting list created for the ILR applications, long residency category. The reason might be that the waiting time differs from group to group and then the topic stops being useful as it doesn't give the accurate information. Sorry for that.

[the_onebd]
