Applied on 9th Oct 13, received at HO on 10th Oct. Still fees is not taken. Called HO this morning, the lady took my name, DOB and nationality and said my case is still not on the system. She mentioned they are swamped due to the 28th Oct deadline. A bit frustrating that things are not moving. Wish...

My wife just got her ILR. Thank you!

was wondering how long it took..?

Congratulations......still waiting for our outcome...

We have applied this week for ILR and also didn't include the marriage certificate as it wasn't asked for.

I assume as we incuded it for our LLR application 2 years ago it's obvious we are married still.

We will be posting it.... This is distressing.....we have jumped through all the hoops to get to this point and now it seems if you don't include anything they haven't asked for you may you may be refused. We had no problems when we applied for LLR......and to be honest, I expected the ILR to be str...

So now what........should I just include everything with letters explaning everything......overkill it or what............will it/does it hurt to include more than what is stated now...?

I actually have about 15.....we have been preparing for the ILR since last year, needing only 6 now has made it a lot easier...

That's our thinking now.....it certainly can't hurt the application with a letter included.....it just seems a bit pointless.... ....we will be applying with the new directives in mind within the next couple of weeks and let everyone know how it goes...!! If anyone else reads this applying in a simi...

Hi John.. Thanks for your reply.......you can see what I mean......it's a bit of a grey area.... ...it's a little contradicatory......you can include individually same addressed documents ....but it seems you have to explain why.......I think.... do we include a letter (to be on the safe side) stati...

you'd think....wouldn't you....but it then states the following Please give an explanation on a separate sheet if you cannot provide 6 items; if the documents are not addressed to both of you..... well a few won't be addressed to both of us, just individually......so do I need to include a letter......

Hi.

My wife is about to apply for ILR. I just have one query.

We don't have 6 documents addressed to us jointly (only two) the other 4 will be addressed to us individually. Do we have to include a letter stating why the other 4 are not in both our names?

Cheers
