You are right, paying £1051 and we should expect at least a better service than what we are receiving now. The best they can do is to provide status update.

It is ridiculous that they can do whatever they want. It is unfair. But the UKBA is probably thinking that if you don't like it, then you can leave!

You can complain all you want (as I have done many times!), but the opinion of one person is difficult to deter their effort to improve; they are adamant to change.

I think that you are all forgetting that we are actually paying £1035 for this application!? UKBA is government funded and on top of that, we are paying that kind of money and they are unable to provide a decent service!! It is simply ridiculous – they just do as they wish.

I think the waiting time is deliberately meant to act as a deterrent to potential ILR applicants rather than a lack of resources or the complexity of the application or doing research!!

I have been hearing about Home office backlogs for years and years! In any other organisations, people would have lost their jobs for being so ineffective and incompetent

I am pleased to know that you convinced too.
what ever the reason every one of us is stuck in tension by keep thinking what will happen, if home office done this if home office done that etc... for atleast for 4 to 6 months.

Any way lets hope for the best for every one of us.

I am convinced too that they can decide on your application within weeks. But they wouldn't do it. Plus they have a massive backlog, factor in the number of teas they make per day. They just don't have the human resource.

Not saying I am on UKBA's side, I am totally not, I had many problems with them before, and my family. But if I imagine myself looking through someone's applications, it can be a daunting task. But that shouldn't be their excuse for being slow.

I am going to apply ILR on the basis of long residence in March 2014.

My Query:

I have been issued a FPN (3 points and £100 fine) for over speeding in september 2013. Do i have to disclose this in my application? If yes than which section as FPN is not a criminal conviction?

Regards

wez4all wrote:Hi,

When counting any time away from UK do i have to mention the entry date stamp of my destination country or the day i left UK. for example;

I left UK 5th March and arrived in Pakistan 6th March. My passports has an entry stamp of 6th march. ( as UK dont stamp ur passport while exiting).

In above case which date i should mention in application when counting days outside UK (5th or 6th)?

Regards

Please any thoughts anyone

The requirement is that a person who applies for settlement must show that they do not have any unspent convictions (as defined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974). This is an additional requirement for settlement in all immigration routes

Your application will still be assessed against the “character, conduct
and associations” provisions in paragraph 322(5) of the immigration rules.
It is highly unlikely that receiving a Fixed Penalty Notice and/or points
on your licence would lead to a refusal, particularly if it was a one-off
incident. This, in itself, would be unlikely to lead to a refusal of your settlement application unless it was a pattern of repeated behaviour.

Mate, same as you here. Applied on the 24th Oct, still waiting for the biometric. They told me it's due to the volume of applications received during October due to rule change.
