SET (Protection) Route applications

festronaut wrote:Hello Guys : Count me as fifth. I applied in July-2012 (Protection Route)

Hello Festronaut, How are you? OK, so you applied in July, right? Did you get any acknowledgement letter from the home office yet? I applied in June but have not heard anything from them so far, no acknowledgement letter, and still awaiting. Did you send your papers to Liverpool address, like PO box 306, dept 21, L2 0QN etc?

Hello khus9201 ,

All good, thank you. You ?
Nothing in my side happened. Not even biometric. I will update soon I get anything.
They seem to be slower than any other time. We just have to wait as we are still second class in this country lol
I met a girl from the home office on a night out and she said half of the staff had gone down to help with the Olympics plus a lot of people on holiday. So they are so slow at the moment.

Thank you guys for sharing your experience. Please keep us updated.

Regards,

Doodoo

Yes. I did. I received oral confirmation (telephone) that they have my documents. Yet to receive written confirmation. Meanwhile, I got a job, but need to show my prospective employer that my docs are with UKBA. So, I wrote a letter, couple of days ago. I will let you know guys about the progress.

UKBA will probably write back to you referrring you to this link http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/busin ... pport/ecs/. Instead, you could get your new employer working on this right away.

I can see some of you did not get any decision yet, from those of you who have applied in july did you receive the ILR yet.

I have applied 24th of August and their is a long way to go I guess.

I look forward to hear from you

festronaut you did apply on july have you still receive any thing from the home office, and can any one confirm if they have receive any notification about biometric finger prints please?, I am one of those who are desperate to get every bit information about this, today I have been suspended from my work because my LLR is running out in a days.

any help? any bit information those of you who have applied on june or july, have you get any thing including letter asking you to have a biometric finger print at post office, your information is very important for all of us because we are in the same train. please share with us.

Hello mshasan24,

You possd my statements on here ... I have sent my application on the 3rd of July and I have not heard anything from them yet. I now moved house and set a post redirection just not to miss anything although I sent them a letter telling them that I moved house house exactly the way they want it in the guide line and still have not heard anything .

To be honest they tell you it could take up to 6 months ... But I gathered they normally get in touch within 12 weeks .. this is what I got from my researchs here ans there .

Regard to your work, how did they find out about your work status ? Is this a new job ? Or have you been with them for more than a year ? I read on the h.o. website somewhere that you are entitled to work while awaiting application, dig put and find.it then print out the link and take it to your lazy employer ..

It is really bugging me these days, because there are plenty of people looking for jobs potential employers are so fussy with paperwork and if you tell them you just need to.check they will say we can't be bothered plenty of red passport holders ready for work instead of complicated person like you .

Any question ask and I will update soon as something comes.

Cheers,

Doodoo

I will let this forum know the progress of my application. Be cool mate. Allow 6 months for the progress of the application. So you would be a happy person, when you get ur docs in 3 months time.

Yes Sir

I have been working for Barclays almost the last three years I recently applied higher position and luckily got it but the only reason they have refused to give me a new contract is because my LLR is running out on september 25th, they offered me an opportunity if I will not get the ILR on 29th of October then that chance is going off and aparently the HR have sent me a letter that I have been suspended till I am getting the ILR.

on my case I got a help from the law centre of my city when I was applying the ILR, and they have issued me an official letter confirming that I am eligible to continue my work and let me see what they says when i submit this tomorrow

I am pleased to say that I have been granted ILR. I will post my timeline soon. Im sooo happyyy now. Its been long 4 month of waiting but finally the waiting is over

fatalist Congratulation to you sir; you are out of this frustration and anxious situation, May we know the exact time scale you have been waiting for, what makes me bit frustration is the time scale is not even the same, some of them are four months, three months, two months, Fatalist I need to know whether you have been asked to have a biometric finger print

because the Biometric policy have been applied from 29th of February and this new policy is making all the system very slow...

A little bit of research would go a long way.. to relieve unnecessary stress..

It seems that UKBA was quick to verify my right to work to my employer (Hotline) , so my job offer still stands

Nothing turned up at my door yet. I sent everything on the 3d of July. According to FATALIST I am looking at end of Sep to get biometric.

Good Morning

How about this week then Does any one whom their set protection application was pending received any response yet, any invitation for biometric, any acknowledgement letter, or any one who have received their ILR biometric card.

me too nope.

has the title of this thread changed recently ?

Hey guys. I sent mine application off on the 19.6.12 with next day delivery and got biometric enrolment invitation on the 22.9.12 even the letter dated 11.9.12 (don't know why they didn't send it with 1st class delivery ) lucky I made it on time cos they only give you 15 days. Got my fingers prints taken, picture n signature done today. So hope I got their decision back soon.

Just wonder if anyone send the life in uk test result off with their application? Because I didn't and couldn't find anything where in the form mention anything about that either. But I heard mixed comment about you have to post that off with the application. Anyway. I didn't but guess its alright without that because the UKBA didn't mention anything about I have to post it to them in the ltter?

Any good news from anyone here? And best wish to everyone here

rukia888: I think this thread is about the SET PROTECTION ROUTE, set protection is for those who got the Refugees and humanitarian five years status and want to apply ILR (Indefinite Leave to remain in UK)

for those who got these two status they don't need to show the life in uk test neither they should pay any fee for the ILR set protection, its free for them.

You must send to UKBA for your completed application form during the month before your current permission to stay (also known as 'limited leave to remain) is due to expire. For example, if your current permission expires on 30 August 2010, your application should reach the home office between 30 July and 30 August 2010.

It is important that you apply in time before your current permission expires. This will ensure that your case is considered easily, and your permission to stay in the UK continues.

If you do not apply in time, your permission to stay will end and UKBA will carry out an in-depth review of your case. Your status may be revoked, causing you to be removed from the UK.



You should include all your dependents living in the UK on your application form, including those born in the UK since you were granted permission to stay.

You will not be charged a fee for making this application. When you make your application, you should keep a copy of your immigration status document for your records. Home Office recommend that you send your form by registered post, with any associated documents. When they receive your application, they will send you an acknowledgement letter as proof of receipt.

When Home Office have decided your application, they will send the outcome via registered post. If you are successful, your permssion to settle in the UK will be confirmed on a new status document. You will need to keep this safe, as it enables you to access services and mainstream benefits.

I hope this will give you a little hint about this thread.

Hello rukia888, Did you get the biometric request letter by registered post or by normal post?
