ILR postal applications (excluding 10/14 yr.)

As I'm getting worried about my application and have a cousin's wedding to attend in 5 weeks, I thought I'd post my details too.

SET(O) 5 year WP application posted: 17th March 2010.
Fees taken off my credit card: 19th March 2010.

My company applied for me, which I thought makes it a straightforward one as the lawyers have processed quite a few. 10 weeks tomorrow, no reply as yet.

An update on this, I got my application approved yesterday, exactly 10 weeks after my application! Good luck for yours people![/quote]

Anyone who got an ILR recently against HSMP(J)?

Hi,
You can see some of my posts with timelines, but they are mainly WP based applications. I have also noticed posts on HSMP JR. As per the datapoints I have gone through so far, for HSMP JR its quite fast (in general its 4/5 weeks to 10weeks) & for WP + Tier 2 / Tier 1 (its usually 7/8 weeks to 13/14 weeks at Max). This is the general timeline, however there are cases which goes beyond this with positive results. IMHO majority of the cases should get a resolution by 14 weeks timeline to achieve the targets set by UKBA. By the way, I have completed 13th week & no response so far. Only hope for the best. After going through these 13 weeks of wait, I must admit its one of the most frustrating wait I had / have so far. But there is no simple answer to this.

Agreed its really frustrating when you waiting for the documents, Well anybody who applied end march 2010 or around under HSMP JR?
does anyone get any answer from them?

Willy, you sent urs a good 2 weeks after my husbands and u have rec'd yours back.. My husband is yet to rec've his back.. What's that all about..? I thought it was FIFO.. First In, First Out..

I am getting worried as this is about the 3rd/4th time I have read of someone sending their application in, after my husband sent his, and then receiving their ILR status and passport back within weeks.. I have a feeling our application is lost somewhere..

Still nothing... 45 working days/9weeks later..

Hi dude,

they have not took any money off the account yet and that makes me even more worry that if i have supply them currect banking details.

same here still waiting for money to be taken out. its making me worry too. gonna wait only until next week and if money is in still pending then i will write down a letter to UKBA.

Dear All,

I have applied for ILR Set(o) JR in Just before CHristmas and received my confirmation letter on 29/12/2009.

I have applied for myself and also 2 dependants and still waiting for my application to be completed.

I would like to know if anybody applied around this time and still waiting ? Or someone who got their passports..

I have called them a couple times in the last weeks and as you will guess it was the same reply which is "not being completed yet"..

I had to cancel all my holiday arrangements for June and still do not have a clue on completion date..

Regards

Murat
