Anybody else here sent their application in October? I sent mine on the 16/10/12...

This waiting is killing me.

What are the chances of getting an application rejected/declined after over 4 months of request.


I think I'm really worried any getting my application rejected for some reason.


Thanks

I'm an October applicant as well.

Why would you think your application might be refused?

Thanks Plum..

I couldn't send all p60s so we sent pay slips 6/7 covering each year. Also I sent around 2-4 prove of address ( each year) covering the last 5 year ( both names on it).

As we moved around London a lot sometimes I think I didn't send enough docs.

All other docs fine.. Passport, marriage certificate.

Is nearly reaching the 5 month mark now and I hear here on this website that some ppl got their PR within few months only. I don't understand why others still waiting.


Wishing your receive yours soon Plum.

6/7 payslips per year for 5 years should be fine. I do not think that this will warrant a refusal outright, worst case the UKBA may ask for more supporting evidence if being fussy.

Did you send joint tenancy agreements for however long you lived in each place around London?

We didn't have tenancy agreements however we sent joint utility bills and bank statements on both names too. I didn't send many tho.

Hope don't decide being fussy with us. I didn't sent quite a lot of docs overall I am trying to think that they are just too busy dealing with lots of other applications.

I sent a pre-paid envelope and keep checking the post office website every single day :-)))

Fingers crossed. Thank Plum :-)

That might make the wait even more arduous. Better to mindfully forget and spring to action nearer to the 6 month deadline.

Thanks mate, you can read all my posts and I had a strange story,, well it wasnt strange but nobody was agree with me but I was right and I won :)
Here is all information:
I lived with my EEA spouse from January 2007 and got married on November 2008 got my RC on 2009 which ends 2014.
I applied for PR on February 2012( 5 yrs of relationship with my EEA meeting all the requirement as treaty rights and residance) regardless 5 yrs marriage or RC. I got refused on August 2012 with appeal, appeal was withdrew by homoffice and asking documents before marriage!! I got PR this week dated 05/03/2013 :)
Now I'm not waiting for 1 year to go over PR, I will now apply for Naturalization based on 6 yrs durable relationship(January 2007-2013)
If you have the same story, don't hesitate and read UKBA website. Good luck mate.

Ours is dealt with by NWEURO8, and one month overdue (i.e. seven months old).

I just sent a formal complaint to the Customer Complains Department, Rob Whiteman, and put my local MP on cc. Lets see if I can get some traction on it now.
