I am grateful to his almighty. today I received my approval after long wait.
Time line,
Submitted application on 2nd of May 2014
Fee deducted on the 9th of May 2014
Acknowledged on 26th of May 2014
Then went quiet till December 2014. I called them, sent them a letter and complained to MP. Results, two letters saying wait another 6 months.
Approval date: 6th of June 2015
Received: 13th of June 2015
After over 13 months waiting, they have the guts to send me survey letter along with the letter!
All the best to all of you waiting.
Warmest wishes,
Doodoo
In fact as long as you have ILR in your passport and valid schengen visa to any country in Europe. You don't need any more passports in my opinion unless you want to vote.Siraj ud-Daulah wrote:Best advice would be to forget about it, there's nothing we can do.

If you moved address, best thing to do is to submit the online form on their website. I would also do post redirection through the post office for 6months just in case it takes long for them to pick up your online submission. Although they process these things normally in 5 days.
Aye, but travelling to London for Schengen visa from the North like us lot is a lot of hassleManchester171 wrote:In fact as long as you have ILR in your passport and valid schengen visa to any country in Europe.
