ILR Standard Application and Appointment

Hi,

I'm currently on tier 2 general visa and planning to submit a standard application instead of super priority service. I was searching for forums to see anyone have posted their timelines for the standard application but couldn't find and hence the reason for my post.

Please could someone help me with the below;

1) Did anyone has applied a standard application,if yes, please could you post the timelines?

Applied for ILR Route :
Date application sent :
Document received by HO :
Ack letter received (if applicable) :
Biometric Letter received :
Date Biometrics Enrolled :
Payment Debited :
Email received notifying that they are considering the application:
Approval/Refusal Received :
BRP Card Received :

2) Can I book an appointment prior to submitting an application as I'm waiting for bank statements?
3) Will I have to upload the documents in the new system or do I have to send the documents by post?

Kind regards,
Sunitha

We already have a timeline thread and don't need another!!

You cannot book an appointment separate to the online application. You get the option after you complete the form. You then upload the documents before your appointment. Nothing is sent by post anymore
