This is regarding time scale for postal application . I just got a short query about application How long it's taking nowadays for postal application to be process .I am aware as normal they saying it's taking up to six month. It has been two month since waiting for outcome of postal application. P...

I think you have to respond to the "statement of Additional grounds" regardless of your case, as long as the form is attached to your Biometric form whichever way you choose. Remember we discussed this on this forum in early August! I have been receiving monthly email since August from HO. But you ...

I never received any communication from the HO at all except for my biometric enrolment letter. No emails nothing.i didn't get an additional grounds letter either,what is that for?? I'm not sure why we got the additional grounds letter. I hope it doesn't mean there was a problem! We have received a...

That link looks very dodgy indeed and I've not heard of anyone receiving text messages from home office. I think if you were illegally here, they wouldn't send you a text. It's quite common for the biometric/acknowledgement letter to take over a month at the moment. I applied on June 22nd and only ...

Hi sarah888 and chelsea_arv, Did you both receive acknowledgement e-mails every month? I've not had a single e-mail after applying in June. Also, did they send you an 'Additional Grounds' response letter? Cheers, Nick Yes, i have received an email each month and we received an Additional Grounds le...

Has anybody who applied in June via the postal route received their ILR?

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! That gives me hope!!!!

Hi all, Hi Chelsea_arv not yet still waiting!! I thought with ancestry being so simple that it would have been quicker but I guess not! Hopefully soon, so sick of waiting.. When did you apply? That sucks! We applied on June 22nd. I thought the exact same thing...Ancestry is so simple, i don't have ...

Hi all, I applied for my ILR based on Ancestry on May20th, done my biometrics 2 weeks later and now I've done nothing but wait :( On Monday I decided to upgrade to premium and received an email saying I am provisionally accepted for an upgrade but have hear nothing since. How long is the general wa...

I'm beginning to wish we had also gone for the extra premium. Not because we need the passports and documents, etc (saving for big holiday as a reward while we wait) but because we still haven't received any acknowledgement at all. My partner is being chased at work for it but my work hasn't asked ...

I think I'll go mad if it does!!!!!

Hi Chelsea, My partner and I both recently applied for ILR under ancestry category after spending 5 years here in the UK. It seems that it is dependent on how busy things are in general, rather than what category of SET (O) you've applied under. Our applications were received 3 weeks ago today but ...

Has anybody applied by post for ILR with an Ancestry Visa and if so how long did it take to get an answer? Is it a quicker process as all we need to prove is ancestry, therefore there is not as much paperwork to look through and confirm?

Any advice would help.

Chelsea

Thank you so much for the information. We are on UK Ancestry visas. We are at the end of our 5 years so we would be applying to settle i'm assuming. We want to get our British Passports so we will fill out the SET(O) form then. I can't believe how expensive the whole process is, from the english tes...

Hi, I am an English speaking South African, do i need to do an English test before applying? Also, which form do i need to fill out...SET_O or FLR_O ?The price difference is huge but they seem so similar. And if you apply in person do you get your ILR approval on the day? What is the time limit if y...
