I had an email this morning from DX that my BRP is on route to me today.
My payment for Postal to premium upgrade was taken on the 20th. I hope this gives hope to everyone waiting for theirs. All the best.

No luck here either - I sent mine 22nd of August.

Still waiting ...

Hi l3chiffre, If I may ask, postal or online? and did you request for a premium upgrade?

Hi, Wondering if anyone had any luck with their ILR SET(LR) sent during or before Sept. time? Kind Regards, SimpleButHonest I haven't thus far. ILR Set (LR) online on 10th of Sep. BRP on the 11th of Sep. Provisional acceptance of Postal to Premium upgrade on the 12th of Nov (tried continuously sinc...

I got provisional acceptance on the 12th of Nov, money deducted on the 20th Nov, but no other update thus far.

Can I please request the moderators not to close this thread until at least the cooling off period of 27 days from the 22nd of Nov.

That is really sad news. They must be dealing with old applications and hence our application has still remained in queue. What is the option now?

If it doesn't cost you anything and you have nothing to loose by trying, keep trying.

I received the eligible for premium upgrade email on 20th Oct but have heard nothing since. It's been over 4 weeks now. I have sent them so many emails still no response. This premium upgrade service really poor. No communication at all. nishanttaluja, I'm sorry to hear that. What category of ILR d...

I was recently notified I am eligible for an upgrade etc but I haven't heard back since. When did you receive this email? Was it recently? What time did you send the email? I received the email last Monday. No further communications since then. I sent the email request last Monday at approximately ...

Any progress ssathyr?

I was recently notified I am eligible for an upgrade etc but I haven't heard back since.

Posting my application timeline with a successful outcome as this site helped me a lot and I believe my post could help others. At first I tried getting a premium appointment as I felt the cost was justifiable rather than wait up to 6 months for a decision but I couldn't get one. I tried staying up...

Perhaps this might be of help to you

What visa are you currently on? Does it restrict you from working at a new employer?

I am not an expert in the subject matter.

Hi uk888, I'm in a similar predicament. How did it work out for you?

Hi ssathyr, Have you tried writing to your local MP? I tried writing to my local MP and his staff got back to me on his behalf. They informed me that they have contacted the UKVI (as I had requested) and they hope to hear back from the UKVI within a month (or sooner). I'm hopeful. I can relate to yo...

Hi ssathyr, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. What options have you exhausted so far besides emailing them? Do you mind sharing when you submitted your postal application? was it online? I submitted my application online on the 10th of September, documents and BRP details on the 11th of Septem...

Hello Simplebuthonest, I'm curious of the same as I've been applying for premium upgrade since the 2nd week of September. There doesn't seem to be any Home Office guidance or advice on how the new service affects the postal to premium upgrade...One would expect it to operate as normal, but I'm begin...

I have tried since 2nd of Oct every chance 8:00:00..Still trying... I am able to track if my email has been read or not.. so far none of the emails has been opened..suggests the service is somehow on-hold...I believe this maybe something to do with the new service to be up and running by 5th of Nov...

I used Set (LR) and have been applying since 12th of September. I'm still waiting for my upgrade request to be selected.

Hi Could I also ask for some advice regarding answering question E14 on the SET(LR) application which states: "Please state what social, cultural and family ties you have with: the country where you were born any other country whose nationality you hold any country where you have live for more than...

Hello everyone, I've read a number of useful posts on this forum and this thread in particular. So I thought of sharing my ILR(LR) application experience thus far. I had to opt for the postal route as I couldn't find an appointment 28 days before the 10 year anniversary. This is despite the fact of ...

Hi all,

I have a question on filling out the postal to premium upgrade form. Do you think the reason for upgrade has any bearing on the success of the application, or is it purely based on luck (first come first serve)?

Thanks
