This topic is for ILR postal applications for Set(O), Set(F) and Set(M) ONLY and NOT for Set(LR) questions or varying to Set(LR) questions and most definitely NOT for discussing Tax Discrepancies and Amendments.

Previous topic locked due to the usual off topic discussions and posts by some members causing the thread to become low value and rambling.

Please DO NOT post just for the sake of posting, i.e. posts with 'any updates anyone' or 'still waiting', etc will be removed.

Does anyone know if this delay is indicative of a likely refusal ? Or if the HO is experiencing high workloads and hence delays in processing ?
