As I said i was just assuming (trying to kill time)......my application has not past 6 months yet..i have already contacted rob whiteman who forwarded it to some team lead in case workers team and the reply was that my application is pending.essentialSalt wrote:I don't want to add oil to the fire, but rejection is different from refusal. In terms of the priorities, we can't say. Depends on a team, workload and resources available. We can only speculate. The official statistics can be requested on whatdotheyknow. What you have to do is to specify the time-window and ask for progress as of today. You need to tell them exactly what you want to know without becoming aggressive, rude or mean.pisces_kid wrote:This is my assumption
based on my previous experience with UKBA postal applications
I think if your visa was to be rejected, you will get result in less than half the time it usually takes to issue a visa..
previously when i applied for Tier 2, first time it took 5 weeks to get a rejection, i re-applied the same day and got my visa in 12 weeks.
so if you are waiting after 3 months for ILR, then you are going to get ur ILR granted
only assumption based on my previous exp.
. I didn't use any solicitor.. I been 9 years as student and 1 year as PSW.. I didn't call Home office after my six months waiting period.. Even i didn't contact any MP and didn't write any email or letters to home office... Because i know that these will be worthless... I just wait patiently and Everyday pray to my Allah to Get this ILR.... So, My advice to those who are waiting for there ILR is: PLEASE WAIT PAITIENTLY..javascript:emoticon 
.. In Sha Allah will give you a good news... I think home office is trying to clear the backlog... because they are on pressure after the channel 4 programme.. Any way my time line is following and i have also updated the two skydrives excel sheet which links are also below....shazib1786 wrote:Hi can any one let me know the e mail or contact of UKBA where i can send request to confirm whether the peoples whose ILR delayed due to no fault of them can they apply Naturalization after 15 months of ILR Application Date.
You can try the below, but I cannot guarantee if they will respond.

This forum has been great and helped me alot. Thanks everyone.
BEST OF LUCK FOR ALL WAITING APPLICANTS.
regards,
Don't let me spoil your mood (this post is for those who are getting their MPs involved), but MPs have no obligation to help those who do not have the settlement status in the UK, do they? The MPs help applicants out of generosity, kindness and sense of duty (to everyone who lives in the area - doesn't matter whether they can vote or not).
If we contact MPs and if they are willing to make a phonecall or write a letter on your behalf, we should be grateful that they have taken their time to at least make an effort. They could have spent that time doing something else. It's just some people are so rude (and seem to believe that they are entitled).
For your younger one you can add him on to your husband's FLR(M). However, you might need a separate FLR(O) for the elder AFAIKJoyous2013 wrote:I got my ILR on 10 years basis on 25 April and the BRP on 26 April.

You may include children under the age of 18 if they are applying as your dependants. But they must pay the specified fee if they apply separately
Read through Varying an application from page 33 onwards.NAVO wrote:Hi All,
I've found this forum to be extremely useful, thanks to all moderators for keeping it alive!
I am a holder of ILR via 10 years route and my partner applied for FLR(M) in the end of April. He will be completing 10 years on his own in June 13 and would like to vary his appliation to settlement under 10 years once he qualifies.
Could anyone please let me know how to vary the original application? I've seen someone was trying to vary this application, but ended up with one application been withdrawn. Is there any form to fill in to request for variation of leave? Or any guidance on how to do that?
Your answers would be highly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
Thanks for your response Damanisshallo. If you could also Confirm whether it is also possible to use SET F for my two step sons as Noted from the following link.Damanisshallo wrote:For your younger one you can add him on to your husband's FLR(M).

Wouldn't read too much into it. The case should have already been assigned to a case team because you have already got a case number in your biometric invitation letter. One really can't say, even an immigration lawyer can't say, how long a straightforward case takes.TheCreativeDragonHead wrote:Any news from the remaining Aug applicants?
I am still waiting. They did say it was assigned to a case team, but i called again today and "Your application is not complete, we cannot give you any further information."
Why is that?? One officer can tell me some info, other officer just back to original answer.
Many Thanks for all your help.
Hey man congrats..smshad wrote:Hi everyone,
By the grace of Almighty Allah, I have received my passport and documents back today. UKBA used the same return envelope that I provided. DX courier has not attempted to deliver the Biometric card yet but I contacted them to find out about the expected delivery date and they have not received any thing from UKBA for me today.
Here is my timeline:
Applied on 13th August 2012
Acknowledgment letter received: 15th August, 2012
Biometric enrolled: 15th November, 2012
Passport and documents received: 02nd May, 2013
Biometric card: Waiting
Straight forward case: Student, Fresh Talent, Tier 1 General. I never overstayed, never applied after expiry of visa, no points, no convictions etc.
For those who have applied FLRM for spouse:
I also applied for my wife’s FLRM on February 2013 and Biometric already enrolled in February 2013, but it is strange that UKBA sent Biometric enrolment letter to my wife again today. Looks like that they have lost the earlier one but I think they are working on FLRM linked cases along with the main applicant.
Thanks,
Shad.

Does anyone know how long is FLR(M) postal application taking these days?
Thanks again.
I understand your frustration, but the customer service team can't tell you when you receive it and they seem to rely on the IT system to check the update on your application. They are the first point of contact and their job is to sort queries and pass those on to an appropriate team. In my case, when I called to ask for an update on my application, I was told that my application was still with them and I had to wait. My mailman in my building informed me that they received all the documents back on the same day I called.ebo1 wrote: I have called UKBA's 0870 number this morning to see if there is any progress on my application. You never get an answer from them unless your case has been completed/a decision has been made however, this morning lady on the line told me that they are currently dealing with September applications - but didn't give me any timeline as to when they will be completed.
Just to give you all an update.
