Thanks dx for good wishes, how is it going with your ceremony?

I Spoke to HO yesterday , it was waiting for allocation. I will try again in 2 weeks time. HO works so strangely. No one can predict what they are going to do in terms of sending post etc. Which council you live in

Kiran if Council has your certificates then why don't you book a ceremony?

yes waiting since 14th March.

any answers to my questions please, basically my cousion applied ILR for his mum below 65. they sent it few days ago without LIUK. now some one told him that Life in UK was must>?

Congratulations blkdoamonds, you will have your approval very soon

Well good luck for approval no 2 Visneh

well done diago.

Ask your MP to write them and enquire on your behalf

I havent given up hope yet, as there are more people who applied in March are still waiting. and also few from Feb and yeah couple of unlucky november 2010 applicants as well. Happy for you Mozart.

You will have your approval soon.

Johnty try contacting your MP as your case is with HO for more than 6 months.

Congratulations Flanza, rest of the journey would be so smooth i hope
