hi hanniaali,
i am in same situation as you. i applied for ILR in october 6th and i'm still waiting.
the waiting is really frustrating and at the moment i have no job as all my documents are still with HO.
i will advice you don't request your passport back from home office as you application will be withdrawn.
you only have 2 months to go and i'm sure its worth the wait.
i will like to know if anybody on a 10 years long route for ILR october application by standard post have got the approval
thanks
This is a TIMELINE ONLY updates topic. Please do not post questions or comments here, especialy ILR 10 years long residence ones as this is not a long residence timeline topic.

Dear Readers

By the grace of All Powerful, we have received our ILR approvals. The timeline is as follows:

Route: T1 Entrepreneur (200K) Set O - Main Applicants Plus 3 Dependents
Application Submission: 23 Nov 2017
Acknowl/BMT Letters: 27 Nov 2017
BMT Taken : 29 Nov 2017
Monthly Under Consideration Emails: 27 December 17 and 27 Jan 18
Approval Letter/Docs Received: 22 February 18

Despite of all the challenges/New Years and Festive time, UKVI delivered it way before the estimated time (less than 3 months). I am sure if your application is straight forward, honest and transparent, your approvals are coming soon. All the best, Cheers, Az

I REALLY need help as I am panicking now. Timeline is as follows:

Applied for ILR Route : SET(O) Tire 2 General (T2G), 5 years
Date application sent : 18/02/2018
Document received by HO : 23/02/2018
Ack letter received (if applicable) : Email
Biometric Letter received : NO BIOMETRICS LETTER
Date Biometrics Enrolled : N/A
Payment Debited : 21/02/18
Approval Received : N/A
BRP Card Received : N/A

I have checked for a Biometric letter almost everyday but no sign. I have called the home office who told me to email two email with no reply apart from an automated email telling me to basically wait. I am panicking and losing sleep over this and I have a baby on the way. Can anyone PLEASE let me know if this is odd or if there is anything I can do. I am at my wits end!
