I just received a letter from my MP enclosed another letter from HO. HO basically says on the letter that my application has been forwarded to appropriate caseworking unit for consideration. They aim to complete 95% of applications made on this basis within six months, they cannot guarantee that an...

Is there anything we can do if the application goes over 6 months? I mean each time i called the home office they say that its still with in the 6 months processsing time. After 6 months do they give more information? Also, can we ask for compensation if its more than 6 months and a staightforward ...

One more thing... never contact UKBA and ask an update on your application; it makes your case worst and they keep you waiting longer as a result of this.

I really don't think that can be possible. Its not the same people dealing with calls that are dealing applications.

they said : ''his application is currently at caseworking section, normal applications normally takes 13-14 weeks to complete, but this type of legacy applications takes much more than that, he will have to wait until he hears from HO, we cannot give you any timeline'' I do not know what legacy mea...

have you contacted your MP? Not yet. It appears that 6 months has now become the standard time to wait for this? I'll give it 3 more weeks and then will probably try and get things rolling. Not sure calling them helps either - paying for the national rate line to hear a robot read off a screen is a...

i sent an email to my MP but i was suprised when he replied me saying that he spoke with ukba and they told him that they are making further enquiries.it sound so stupid to me as that was the same information they gave me when i made the application initially.Are they making the enquiries in the MO...

Thanks, I honestly don't think the staff of UKBA are lazy or inefficient, in fact I appreciate the fact that they have a lot to do and most of their jobs involve handling sensitive information. I do have respect for them, I mean we all work and we know how naturally stressfull working environment c...

I've just heart from my solicitor that another of his client a japanese guy just received his ILR on the base of 10 years long residence he sent the application: 2 October 2009 received ILR: 18 January 2010 that means there is no such a queue, HO just completes the applications randomly, no queue b...

so depressing the wait!!

Almost 6months and absolutely nothing. Still waiting to hear from my MP, not sure if its worth me contacting my MP to at least find out what is going on or to just wait the 2 months response time....

I applied for ILR Set(O) on the 1st April, I cannot recall when the funds had been deducted (it was more than 2 months later). It's now been almost 32 weeks and still nothing... Application sent: 1 April 09 HO received: 2 April 09 Payment debited: ??? (At least 2 months after HO received date) Ackn...

Thanx Taylondon! I hope so too after all I have waited the full 6months in 4wks... So really i should ...

This really isnt a problem, they have other means of confirming!

You know know when you have a problem when you have an actual page missing out of your passport.

Things wear and tear, that is what happens. You know the dates, just put in on your applcation form and leave the rest to them!

Hi WCC, Please correct me if I am wrong, The Long Resisdence 14yrs Route is usally the selected path, if you applying based on residence in the UK that might have have been illegal, i.e: Overstayed a your Visa at some stage over the 14yr period, which is why there are 2 distinct Long Residence Route...

Hi CLS and Terriblefish welcome to you too.. I have now updated the List to include and also keep us posted when you make that call. Not sure you will get much anyways but I think just making the call will be more self satisfactory for just making that contact after 14wks of nothing. Rajj - Applied ...
