"I’m pleased to confirm that your application for indefinite leave to remain under Tier 2 of the immigration arrangements has now been granted. You will receive your decision letter and biometric residence permit (BRP) in due course and these will confirm your immigration status. Thank you for using our super priority service."
Brilliant news! I think you might be the first fully done and dusted/refunded case on here =]oldmankensey wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 11:46 amreally happy to see so many of the 'old timers' getting approval.
we all stuck through it together! Blitz spirit! Fingers crossed for those still waiting.
I got my refund so wanted to explain what I did, as people's minds are turning more to that now.
I got a mailing address off this thread (from waaaaaaay back in November I think)
The Charging Team
UKVI
The Capital Building
Liverpool
L3 9PP
I sent them a letter three days ago:
1. Put all info relating to my wife: name, UAN, case number, DoB, nationality, biometric appointment info, application date, etc.
2. Paragraph about why I'm writing
3. Quoted their own email to them which said: "We aim to complete all applications within the 24-hour service standard. However, where we are not able to do this we will complete the application as quickly as possible and where delays in making the decision are not the fault of the customer, the super priority service fee will be refunded."
And today, that £610 went back onto our credit card. Super happy about that. I think that's the place to write and we got the refund far faster than we were expecting.

I too can see nothing under mandatory document but under optional documents i can see whole list of documents to be uploaded. So i uploaded all my docs under optional tabs. My appointment is next weekRitchie12 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 10, 2019 6:52 pmhi all,
I will be glad if any of you guys @groot5 @frmglasgow @kiwijane123 @ dilse4srk @Vpruk and other moderators help me with the below please. Im getting worried i may have submitted our application wrongly
I have a question about the Sopra Steria website. I have submitted ILR (LR) application for myself and my family. When i go to the Documents submission page, it only gives me optional documents catergory ONLY and No Mandatory documents. The same shows on my wifes application.
Does that seem normal? Did anyone of you get the Mandatory documents section to upload your files?
yep, all my dealings with UKVI are super fast.madihaali_304 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 11:49 amBrilliant news! I think you might be the first fully done and dusted/refunded case on here =]oldmankensey wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 11:46 amreally happy to see so many of the 'old timers' getting approval.

I was told by the MP's case worker that UKVI is always short of staff and always training new staff, and the people who trains sometime doesn't know what he is doing himself..so just ignore that, whoever send it clearly has no idea what he is doing. You should get a confirmation because a lot of people did get one here.vibe123 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 3:05 pmHi Guys, I escalated my case again (Tier 2 to ILR, Biometrics on 27th Dec) This was my second escalation and done this morning and I got this email .

That’s not very encouraging! Decisions that can totally change an applicant's future being made by people in training?!momozz wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 4:38 pmI was told by the MP's case worker that UKVI is always short of staff and always training new staff, and the people who trains sometime doesn't know what he is doing himself..so just ignore that, whoever send it clearly has no idea what he is doing.
