Add absolute lack of the ability to be able to book the super premium service on the old system before the cutover on the 2nd of November to the new system. Many people tried for many weeks to make an appointment and pay the fee across the whole country to be told there are no appointments for 45 days.

Do you think its reasonable to post a letter dated from the 16th of December on the 17th of January to be received today with a refusal and demand to leave now?
I understand that you are angry about the situation especially because you paid over £1000 instead of just £65 but none of the reasons is a valid ground for appeal.

First of all, you are not required to leave the country (even if the letter tells you - that is a generic letter everyone with a refused SET M application and expired leave will receive). Receiving that letter after a month is also not a valid reason for an appeal. The complaint team may (partially) uphold your complaint for this reason but what will you get other than an apology?

Secondly, it was entirely your own fault to submit a wrong and late application. No appointment was available? Right, but you could post the application.

Thirdly, lack of clarity in the Immigration Rules is not a ground for appeal. You could seek assistance (free).

Again, you are not required to leave the country. Apply again by submitting the right application. Expired EEA family member residence card is also not a problem. You didn't need it in the first place. You just got it to prove your right to work etc.
Hey Bibi2, I appreciate your response and take it all onboard. Not angry so much, more the fact i have a letter here saying theres a immigration bail on me and this went from trying to do the right thing to you must leave now on a month old letter. I dont believe it was entirely my fault in regards to the submission as the postal application of Set M was not an option for myself under the guise that I could travel and work whilst it was being processed. Little did I know on the 12th of November that it would be so that if you left the UK then your application would be withdrawn. If that was known on the 11th, I would of indeed posted the application and then not travel nor make work and personal plans over the christmas.

So let it be known... On Set M, to settle with a partner for ILR, is it a fact that you have to have entered on a spousal or partner visa, done your 5/10 years then apply? Or is it open to anybody who has done 5 years on a visa who is a partner of a British National? ie there is a valid entry requirement required that means you have to enter on a spousal or british partner visa?

Already started the EEA (PR) and the stress levels have definitely dropped. I do love the fact my refusal is a clause with 4 related sub clauses and one of those sub clauses has 2 more sub sub clauses, and is apparently generic, but google couldnt find that exact phrase

What a time to be alive.
You can use SET M only if you have a residence permit as a spouse of a settled person or British citizen. In other words, if your previous application was FLR M, this time you use SET M.

It seems you don't have a residence permit as a spouse of settled person or British citizen. Instead, you have a residence document (not permit - as that is just a proof of a right to stay and not a permission to stay) as a family member of an EEA citizen. If yes, they were 100% right to refuse your SET M application. People like you can only settle in the UK by applying for a document confirming the right of permanent residence (paying £65), or submit SET LR application (over £2000).

To qualify for ILR on Set M, the immigration rules are clear that you must have held the relevant spouse Settlment visa for 60 months, ie spouse of BC or ILR holder and must have entered the UK in this category visa.

No other visa route can use SET M even if their partner becomes British during that qualifying time.
Guys, I cannot thank you enough for the feedback. You see the entry point part is the issue I was not clear on, nor was it clear on the wizard. I am more then happy to put my hand up in fault, it is clear that part was the deal breaker.

Since I was not eligible for Set M (and paid dearly in money stress and time) it is presumed that I will not get deported as per the standard response for a refusal to Set M as I am still partner of a EU national?

Waking up to an immigration bail notice isnt an experience I would recommend for all of us trying to legitimately work and life in this country.

Its time to fill the EEA PR out (85 pages in paper + supporting documents) apply and party like it was 2013.

Apologies for the many messages but got lost in the subclause rabbit hole of Immigration law. This forum is invaluable to those who need hope and direction.

Did your approval email come from a generic home office email address? I can find my caseworker name on my approval letter as well, so maybe you can read the letter again and try to find the name? Then usually the email address is FIRSTNAME.SURNAME@homeoffice.gov.uk
Hi, it was from generic email address and same on the approval letter. No case worker name so have replied back to the email address the approvel email came from
Hi Mumbai2003,

I was wondering if you have received your BRP as I'm in a similar position. I received my ILR approval on 3rd January 2019 using the UKVCAS super priority service (Mark Lane - London) and even though decision was made within 24 hours, the BRP has yet to arrive! I've tried contacting them through various avenues (direct email, call, reporting the issue on the website given etc..) and they keep telling me there's a technical issue with the production of BRPs and will give me an update when the issue has been resolved, but can't tell me when!! I'm seeing posts of people receiving BRPs just a few days after the approval email/letter so I was wondering if it's a location specific issue.

Also apologies if this is not the right place to post this question as it's not really related to the UKVCAS priority service.
Hi Rofriend,

Just a thought after posting few replies on this forum and going though the posts from Link, have you tried calling DX up and see whether they have got it or not

Worth a shot, you can call them up from 08:00 tomorrow or if within London then head down to their depot with ID proof as why butI get a feeling in my case they may well have it or misplaced it
Thanks for your suggestion Mumbai2003. I have checked with DX and, sad as it is, they have nothing for me.Tbf HO has actually told me that there’s a problem with the production of BRPs so I think the problem is with them unfortunately. My MP has sent them an enquiry about this so just waiting for them to get back to him. Fingers crossed.

Sorry for making these posts longer than that already are. Please let me know if this is not the right place for these sort of discussions.

How many from Nov and Dec are still awaiting decision?

The rate at which UK V&I is clearing the backlog is not encouraging at all.
Waiting since 20th Dec (SET O)

Hi All,

This is my first post in this group. I have been closely following this group, while I was waiting for my result.

Finally, Happy to share the good news. And I hope it gives confidence to anyone that are still waiting.

Category Applied : ILR Set(O) Tier 2 Migrant - Same Employer for 5 years

Date Applied online : 20-12-2018.

Biometrics Enrolled : 22-12-2018.

Biometrics Enrolled at : Sopra Steria Near Birmingham International Airport.

Decision Email Received : 18-01-2019.

Waiting for my decision letter and BRP.

Also, I would like to let everyone know that one of my friend enrolled Biometrics on the same day as me and got his decision on 4th of JAnuary 2019, where as I had to wait until 18th Jan.

Regarding escalations, I escalated through telephone on 7-1-2019, and 2nd escalation on 15-1-2019, which I was told that as they have sent me a generic email on 8-1-2019, I had to wait for 30 days.

But, I kept calling them every day after 15th, ignoring their message, and finally got my decision at 18th Jan.

Hello,

I am still waiting for the decision on my ILR application. I finally requested my MP to escalate my case 2 days ago and received an email from MP's office that they have escalated my case with Home office. I have also emailed to home office on their complaint email id about my case. My bio-metric appointment was on 14th December'18. It was a straight forward application through Tier 2 SET(O).

What your experience about home office complaint email id? Did anyone receive decision quickly on their application after emailing to home office? The automated reply says that home office aim to reply within 20 working days which means I will have to wait until February.
Dear Pinam, I submitted on the 14th of Dec as well. Which centre did you present to? I did that at Glasgow
Any update on your case @kiwitt?

Hi Vinnu

I have submitted on 8th of December. I think if they have refunded our money, it means caseworker has already looked at our application and made the decision. so not sure why we haven't received any email so far.
I will keep you update if i will receive anything. Please you also keep me updated. Thanks

Please let me know if anyone else had same situation like us. WE have received the full refund £610 on 16th and 17th Jan but didnt receive any email or letter or BRP regarding the decision. Thansk

Not yet, I read somewhere that they were aiming to clear all backlogs by the end of Jan so was being rather optimistic/naive about the whole thing which is why I didn't email my MP until 17th Jan so it hasn't really been that long since I contacted him.

Hi All

Finally I have a good news to share with you all.

I have just received an email saying that my ILR has been granted. My timeline for the whole process is as below:

Application submitted online: 5th December
Biometric done on: 8th december in coventry central library
3 times escalations done but of no use.
Sent complaint email on 21st of December but no reply till now.
The only thing escalated my case is I think contacting my local MP. I have contacted him in end of December and on 10th Jan he has replied that he will contact home office. On 17th Jan i have received my full refund of £610 and today I have received my email.
Thank you everyone for supporting me during this stressful time and I wish everyone will hear the good news soon. I would suggest please contact your local MP. Thanks

Sent complaint email on 21st of December but no reply till now.
The only thing escalated my case is I think contacting my local MP. I have contacted him in end of December and on 10th Jan he has replied that he will contact home office. On 17th Jan i have received my full refund of £610 and today I have received my email.
Thank you everyone for supporting me during this stressful time and I wish everyone will hear the good news soon. I would suggest please contact your local MP. Thanks
Congratulations. Hopefully the backlog will be cleared by end of this month.

Hi All,

Another silent follower, the info and experiences on this forum has been invaluable and finally it all paid off.

SET (O) for Tier 2 Migrant and 1 Dependant
Application submitted online: 10th December (too early as my 5th year anniversary was 7th of Feb)
Biometric done on: 12th of January in Glasgow (waited so the appointment would be within the 28 days)
Supplied a cover letter to explain my mistake regarding the above submission date.
1x escalation done on 16th of January as well as an email to the complaint address (wouldn't have had any effect, i did them just to have something keeping me busy).
Email received today and now waiting for the BRP

Given the number of people waiting for months, being a week late is incredibly lucky. Thanks for everything you shared

Hi everyone,

I have been closely following the posts on this thread and I just have a few questions.

Brief story about me - I applied for a fiance visa (6 months to get married) from Toronto last summer and arrived in London first week of December. My partner and I got married last week in a registry office in Kent. I met her a few years ago while visiting London and have met each other countless times as I visited here every few months.I'm looking to apply for the spousal visa super priority and start working ASAP.

My questions are...

Where do you apply for the spousal visa?
I started an application on https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk/edit/start, but it asks questions like below....I have never spent more than a few weeks consecutively in UK except for my arrival through the fiance visa in early December

Have you lived anywhere other than your current address during the past 2 years that you have not already entered on this application?
Has your partner lived anywhere other than your current address during the past 2 years that you have not already entered on this application?

Has the NHS fee really changed from 500 to 1000 pounds?

How long is the typical wait time to attend the bio metrics for the ones who have requested an appointment for the Croydon office in the past week?
