Applied for ILR Route: Tier 2 General 5 year route same employer (Super priority)
Date of application submitted and paid: 03/11/2019
Date Biometrics Enrolled: 04/10/2019 @ 09:30 am @ Manchester Premium Lounge (paid £125)
Approval/Refusal Received : Confirmation email came through 05/11/2019 @ 14:00
BRP Card Received : waiting

Few points to mention:
1) the Right to work website doesn't work for me to check the status, yesterday I received the approval email but the website is still displaying this
'We can't show your record
You will need to prove your right to work by showing an employer your identity document – your EU passport or national identity card, or biometric residence document.'.

2) Email of approval comes from a new email(home.office.atlas at notifications.service.gov.uk) and the format is different, Looks more like a Letter that is sent to home address.

Dear xxxxxxxx

Ref: xxxxxxx(your application number)

Your application for indefinite leave to remain in the UK has been successful.
What happens next
You will receive your Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) by courier within 7 working days. It is your BRP, not this letter, is the official document that grants you status.

It means they sent a letter. You have to simply wait. No one on the forum could possibly guess what it would say.

I have received two emails.
  • at 14:00 the application was successful.
  • at 14:02 the following email
I am pleased to confirm that your application for Indefinite Leave to remain in the United Kingdom under the immigration arrangements has now been granted. You will receive your decision letters and biometric residence permits (BRP) in due course and these will confirm your immigration status.

Thank you for using our super priority service.
The word 'decided' means that there is something wrong. I have read 3-4 cases on this platform. You can only figure out in the letter that what is the problem.

SET(M) 5-year family route

Submitted: 29/10/2019
Appointment at 20 Mark Lane premium lounge: 04/11/2019 at 9:00AM
Escalated via their telephone line: 07/11/2019

No emails, no letters, no communication whatsoever to this day, 08/11/2019

Is it normal for "Super Priority" service that costs £3200?

I must say dealing with Home Office is the most humiliating experience I had in my life to date.
Immigration services of the USA, Russia and Nigeria are way more predictable and transparent.

Hi,

I applied in Glasgow yesterday and received a generic email saying a decision has been made, however no specifics. Quite a vague email. Anyone had the same?

I had the same mail and the application was successful. The wording of email depends on the caseworker.

Hi - I have trawled through this board but didn’t see if this question was asked/answered. My wife (SET(M)) went to Sopra yesterday. Was in and out in 35min. Around 3hrs later she received this:
“Dear [...],
I am pleased to confirm that your application for Indefinite Leave to Remain has now been granted. You will receive your decision letter and Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) via post in due course and these will confirm your immigration status.
Thank you for using our Super Priority Service.
Yours sincerely,”

Given the speed of reply and the term, “...your application...has been granted.” does this mean she indeed has been granted ILR? I ask because it seems that application “approved” or “you have been granted” would be better wording.
We are cautiously optimistic but dont want to break out the bubbly lest we get heartbroken. Also, if indeed ILR, how long is “due course”?
Thank you,

Hi all,

First of all I wanted to say thank you so much to everyone who posted on this forum and to the moderators - being able to see other people's experiences definitely made me feel calmer when going through the process myself.

I wanted to note something important - I applied 25 days before before the date by which I met the absence requirement, which was within the 28 day limit of course. HOWEVER when my lawyer chased the HO after we didn't receive a response within 24h, they said they will HOLD MY APPLICATION until it meets the absence requirement. This goes against their guidelines of course. Once the 25 days passed (15th of November), there was no communication. We chased them on 18/11 and they said 'a decision has been made and it will be with you soon'. I then received a positive response by post (no email).

Here is my timeline:
Date application (online Super Priority) : 21/10/2019
Date of UKCVAS Appointment (Croydon) : 24/10/2019
Email received (if applicable) : No email
Acknowledgement letter: Not yet received
Biometric permit received (confirming ILR): 21/11/2019

I hope my experience helps others

So my wife's BRP with ILR on it arrived via special delivery this morning. She went to Sopra on Tue 19 Nov, was there for 35min, received an email (above) 3hrs later and then received the card in the post on the morning of 22 Nov. There is an expiry of the card in 2024 but my understanding is that it can be renewed for a fee (like a passport). Never expected such quick, easy and painless service. It's almost worrying...!

Had my appointment this morning at 10:30, got email at 12:45 asking for more documents. I then asked how they like to receive it, in about 15mins they replied and advised that i could just attach it in the email. which i did later on today. Then, gone quiet...
So it does look like they started looking into it on the same day but i dont know how long it'll take them to actually make a decision now..
Fingers crossed.

They asked for evidence of that i have been living with my husband for the last 3 years, from 5 official places via posts e.g., utility bills.

UPDATE from me - I've just received email to say that it's been granted and i'll receive the BRP in due course. I'm pleased!
