Congrats Luke79

I thought Set M process time was 8-11 weeks, any idea why it took so long for you?

Cheers mate

Thanks Double, yes you are correct, most straight forward SET M ILR applications usually settle within 8-12 weeks and that's what we were anticipating too.

Considering it was stamped before xmas, it was still within their 14 weeks threshold / timescales for decision, it just took time to get to me due to the festive season.

To be honest I'd rather it takes 16 weeks to get to me and granted than 8 weeks and refused - As mentioned many times on this forum, when it comes to postal apps, you have to have patience and lots of it.

However, in hindsight, I do wish we took the PEO route for the extra £400, it would have saved all the anxiety we have suffered everyday after the 12 weeks mark.

Just glad its all over. Good luck to everyone waiting and once again, thanks to the board.

Got my akn. letter today!))looks like it is a delay in postal system.

docs sent on 22/12/2011
docs arrived on 23/12/2011
akn. letter dated 29/12/2011
payment taken 04/01/2012
akn.letter received 06/01/2012

Applied for NTL Stamp for my first passport (already hold an ILR)
Document send 25th October
Document recieved by 26 October
Ack letter received 31 October
Payment gone through 28 October
refused on 06/01/2012
reason for refusal, in my application i have submitted a deed poll to inform ukba of my old name to my new name, but my foreign passport hold my old name, therefore they have refused the application.

in my case i can not change my name in my foreign passport to my christian name , full stop!

i am eligible to apply for naturalization tho, im going to apply for it and risk the £1000, what do you guy think of it ? any better suggestion maybe ?

I am sorry to hear that your visa has been refused. I am not sure if this is the right thread to get the answer to your question. My suggestion is to post it somewhere else. Also can you please add your time line on the list if you felt appropriate.

Good luck

Hi all,

New to the forum... Been watching over the last few weeks and thanks everyone for posting.

Here's my dates:

ILR Set O -5 yrs HSMP+tier 1

Sent application - 20 Oct 2011
Ack letter - 25 oct 2011
Posted letter to croydon to expedite 17 dec 2011 (due to leave for my wedding end Jan12)
MP sent letter 5 Jan 12
Still waiting ........ Very nervously .... For 11.5 weeks now.

Seeing a few sept set o applications on the list still waiting isn't looking promising for me.

Cheers all

Finally, but not without intervention from my MP.

SETO (Ancestry) + 4 deps

Applied: 08/08/11
Acknowledged: 12/08/11
Email to MP: 13/12/11
MP response: 15/12/11 stating UKBA are requesting further evidence of my employment status.
Phone call from UKBA caseworker 20/12/11 saying to ignore letter as application is approved.
UKBA letter dated 15/12/11 received 22/12/11 requesting 5yrs payslips - used to heat the home that night.
Passports received: 06/01/12

Thank you to all in this forum. This forum stands out as one of the most useful and informative of any on the internet.

Good luck to all and don't be afraid to ask your MP for support.
