BRP card arrived today dated 1st September. Applied 30th April 2012.
Not sure whether the documents have been received yet as they must have been sent to another address I specified, will need to check.
Thanks to all, especially a select few on the forum, you know who you are!
The waiting has been one hell of a roller-coaster ride and I plan to drink myself to death today. See you in the naturalisation forum in a year's time. |
Congrats NOG great news. my B card arrived today aswell dated 01 sept 2012 . |

Congrats NOG great news.. sudden surprise to see an April applicant getting it. I applied 9th of May, so could expect in couple of weeks.
Anyways enjoy your freedom. Also could some one let me know how to look at the excel sheet posted on skydrive.

Hi
I was just wondering whether it is allowed to apply for your wife and children at the same as you even if there visas still have time to expire. I have the same case but I was told that i cannot appy for them at the same time but when you get your ILR then they can apply on FLR(M). |
Hi “stoorrey”
My wife’s dependant visa is until 3rd Nov and I understand that the HO may take upto 6 months to decide my application for SET (O) and by that time, my wife’s visa will have been expired. This is why I applied my SET (O) and her FLR (M) at the same time with a covering letter explaining the situation and requested them to make a decision on my application FIRST before going on others as they are dependant on me. The money has been taken for both applications and I have also received acknowledgement letters for both applications yesterday. Hopefully everything will be fine.
My timeline is
Application sent : 24/08/12 (Fri)
Application received by HO :28/08/12 (Tue) Due to Bank Hol
payment taken out : 30/08/2012 (Paid by Debit card)
Acknowledgement letter : received on 3/09/12 (dated 30/08/2012)
Biometric letter :waiting
biometric done : waiting
passport/bio card received : waiting |
HI mrgsingh
thanks for the reply,
My dependents visas will expire almost 6 months after i apply for ILR so i dont know to apply for them together on FLR(m) or just wait till i get my visa and then apply for them. HO is taking too much time now a days....honestly dont know whats shall i do. |

Thanks kimnjuka. Quite surprised myself that it took 18 weeks for my application. Hope this follows for all waiting.
@s_raj11, Mate I will PM you on how to edit the excel file. I assume this is what you mean? If you simply want to look at it, the URL is:

Thanks NOG for your quick response as usual. I tried clicking the link but it says web page cannot be displayed. So i thought will seek help from some one. I dont need to edit but look at the time line.

Hi NOG,
Congratulations and also thanks very much for all the good work in keeping the spreadsheet up to date and clean. Can I please ask what documents you sent in with your application? Can you think of something that you sent which may have accelerated the processing of your ILR?
Also would you still be updating the spreadsheet further or would you like me to take over?
Kind regards |

@mbnarayn, many thanks mate.
For my application I sent the following documents -
My 3 passports,
LIUK test result,
A spreadsheet detailing all absences and corresponding reasons for the absences,
A copy of "CID Search Summary Report" from my SAR file which basically shows the "application raised dates" that all my previous visa extensions were made in time (prior to current visas expiring).
I am happy to continue to update the waiting times spreadsheet for a few weeks and then if you wish you can take over as I plan to go abroad for a while. |

Hi Stoorrey
If you believe that you will get a decision on your application before your spouse’s visa expires then I would wait. Just apply visa for yourself and once you get yours then you can apply for your spouse. However if you don’t get it back on time then you can send FLR(M) application with a covering letter explaining the situation. Hope it helps. |

Thanks a lot mrgsingh......i think i shall do as you said. Looking like thats a better option for me, if i dont get the decision on time i will apply then for the dependents and like you said explain it in a covering letter. thanks |

I am really happy for all the good news and I wish you all best of luck in all your endeavours. Could someone please advice me on what to do as my application's taking sometime. I applied on the 13th of March -with biometric done on the 9th of May- and yet no news. It's a bit understandable as my case is a bit complex but could I do anything to speed up the process. I will appreciate any advice. It's taking so long.

ONE-DAY, it is unfortunate and unfair how UKBA operate. I applied on April 30th and received my BRP a couple of days back. Unfortunately, I do not think anything can be done to expedite an application unless there is an emergency/medical reason to travel and you have requested your local MP's intervention. This could however go two ways, UKBA asking you to "withdraw" the application and on the rare occasion actually processing your case faster. It might perhaps be beneficial to call UKBA and inquire since your application has now been pending for over 25 weeks. |
