Hi Addicted zoo

I have noticed that you have the same timeline as my husband. same date of submitting application, same acknowledgment letter date, and he also received his bio letter today, and has also done his bio at the post office today. Good luck and the final count down starts. Hopefully end of Sept or early Oct we will hear good news.

A total of 588 SET (O) applications were received during week commencing 20th February 2012.
Of the 588 applications received, a total of 529 applications have been processed, with 59 still pending. There is always a number of applications in the work in progress queue because of the checks that have to be made.
However, I think this is for all set (O) categories. I wonder how many of the 588 applications is for long residence.
The response is contradictory. First it states that the average processing time for SET(O) postal applications received between 20 and 26 February 2012, was 96 calendar days. Then goes on to say that these figures relate to postal applications as well as applications submitted at PEOs.
Hi Guys,

It is a good news. After waiting for a long time, finally I got a phone call from my lawyer this after that home office has approved my ILR application and send all the document and passport. But, the lawyer have not got Biomatic card yet. Hopping to arrive the biomatric card shortly.

Once I receive BRP card and passport on my hand, I will let you guys know rest of my time line and any additional information.

Finally, I would like give special thanks to the owner of this web site for creating opportunity to sharing our views and opinion which is incredibly helpful for helpless people and know current trend of new updates and over all situation.

Finally I would like to very big and fat wish to everyone who is waiting for their ILR or any sort of visa or problem. At the end, it is needless to say, everything depends on Almighty. Thanks

Yes you will have to sit the LIUK test. For straightforward applications under the 10 years rule one is usually only required to send the passport(s), LIUK test results, the completed application form with fees.
Please note that depending on your circumstances you may want to provide additional information/documents to support your application if you wish to explain your case further.
For a start, please go through the following:

Yes you need to take the life in the UK test. You need to apply on Form SET (O). The long residence category does not allow dependants on the same form. So your husband needs to use a separate form FLR (M) and also include the kids on that form.

You can send it

1) at the same time as you or
2) send it after you get your ILR or
3) if their visa expires before you get your ilr, send it before their visa expires with a copy of your acknowledgement from the UKBA.

If your husband and kids don't have atleast 6 months left on their visa from now (as it takes 6 months your visa to be issued) I suggest you send it all together with yours.

Your husband has an english language requirement as below.

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas ... -language/

I he already has a degree taught in english that will be sufficient. Most foreign universities are also accepted as long as the university is listed on the points calculator.

Some people who applied in Feb haven't received their papers back. The majority of March applications are still to be dealt with. I doubt any April applications have been returned, although on the other "ILR Processing Timelines - postal app. (excluding 10/14 yr.)" thread an applicant who applied in April was successful who requested the application to be expedited.

Super premium service cannot be used for 10 year applications. Someone posted confirmation of this from a UKBA email a while back. Apparently it is a "mistake" on the UKBA website.
