Hi all, We applied for ILR for my wife using SET (M) via the recorded mail. I am a British citizen not so long ago (some people may remember me on this forum). Could anyone please advise on the following: 1) If anyone sent an original British Passport together with the application form, how quick wi...

Hi guys. I tried to test something and sent 1 email of the same character every day this week and what I have received back was the same reply within 2 hours. "Thank you for your email. I have checked our records and can confirm that no decision has yet been made on your application. We aim to proce...

Thanks a lot for your reply, bhossan100, much obliged!

So 10 days from the return to the approval (give or take).

Cheers

@Ahem,

Email them, I received the answer within 2 hrs. Free and easy. The answer was "still in progress" though...

@majamcr Thanks for your reply, mate! I didn't expect this to be so quick ;) Right, I sent the originals on 17/01/2014, then requested the return of the passport and the biometric card 2-3 weeks ago (sorry do not remember the exact day). The passport and card arrived 5 working days after the request...

Hi, I received my originals back from HO today, letter dated 13/03/2014. Those who sent the application and originals without using NCS or Solicitor, could you please confirm the timescales between the receipt of the originals and the approval? Sorry if this has been discussed but I could not find t...

Hi all, Just tried to call HO on 0870 number and the automated service advised me to call the new number which is 0300 123 2241 . I did so and having pressed option 2 all I heard was "The office is currently busy". Then the line cut off! I haven't been given the chance to hold. This is ridiculous an...

Plenty, MY, plenty of them

majamcr, good luck to you mate. Fingers crossed!

majamcr, first of all, this is the wrong topic for your question. Secondly, I requested the originals back after about 4-5 weeks. I did it online and identified that I do not want to withdraw the application, I just want the originals back. The documents arrived in the brown envelope, 1st class, and...

+1 to MattSule. I received the brown envelope yesterday with my original documents and a letter saying that they have looked at them and returned them to me. I applied on the 17th Jan 2014

sidhujazz, thanks!

Will this negatively impact the application? I am talking about the time, etc.

Guys, Has anyone asked HO for the originals to be returned some short time after the confirmation letter? I was a bit naive and sent the originals as I didn't want to wait for NCS appointment. Now I need to change the job and require my passport for the HR department. Please advise if anyone has gon...
