So an Update from me. Brief Background. Applied Liverpool Premium same day service but application turned to postal as Interviewing officer said that further review required. I was told process could take up to 15 weeks. In October i think after about 11 weeks of waiting i e-mailed my interviewing o...

I was going to leave the "topic" I start but I wanted to say I have no regrets about my original post. Before you all jump on me again, whilst (in the end) my comments didn't apply to anyone here, they started a very interesting healthy debate. All those that replied raised some very interesting po...

@Taylondon Like you say everyone has a background and to be honest, do you really think that people feeling anxious about waiting 3 - 6 months and over is rushing when they give 14wks wait and those that applied in other SET O categories have got feedback and they applied well after those of us in t...

Has it been 6 months already? The UKBA strictly state that for 2010 that you are not allowed to make contact until after 6 months. I spoke to my solicitor yesterday and they confirmed this. After 6 months you are allowed to take action. If it's less than 6 months I don't think your attitude is goin...

Please can anyone show me any links or some sorta evidence that UKBA has to respond to an MP within a certain time. Like seriously, MP or shall I say MP's Assistant sends me a later from December 2009 and it is now Feb 12th 2010 and its ok for the MP's Office to still be waiting for a response? And ...

any news from the 10 years long residence group? please write if any progress? now i am thinking to call my mp , its been 21 weeks...........so pain,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, its unfortunate none of us have nothing to update. I have waiting pasted 6 months now. 8 Feb 2010 was my 6months mark for 10yr...

... be patient. :lol: I'm not a very patient person, that's another problem!! I am a very active person and like to get involved in things. I quit my job in November (wanted a fresh start and didn't want to be working illegally whilst applying for ILR) and after 2 months of sitting around waiting I...

A close friend of mine's application took 18months to complete, and she was a student throughout the 10 years and not illegal. She was however able to continue on her status as a student as the application was being dealth with. It was very stressful for her having to wait through such uncertaintie...

Hi please , I would like to know on behalf of someone s else who applied for ILR . what does it mean when the HO says that the application , sent more than 6 months ego , is in the CRT S ?? does t that mean that they r dealing with it or not?? Thx I know CRT is definitely: Case Resolution Team Sout...

@ terriblefish thanx for posting that. it was now i feel inspired to chase up with my MP's Office. So called my MP's Office and lets just say that other person in the other forum was lucky cos the person that picked up the phone at My MPs office didn't seem to care or bother about the Fact that the...

That is one rather enlightening post. Unfortunately not all MPs appear to have that clout when it comes to UKBA. Some interesting articles about beloved in UKBA asylum processing centres in the press today. Granted different centre than Sheffield but let's hope the pattern isn't nationwide. From wh...

@ hangermajor

You are welcome and this is part of what this forum is for. U can get information and at times you can also vent out your frustration and share experiences with people that are in the same situation...

@ Princley... Thats great that a decision has been made. "Hope and Pray that it is Good News" Looking at the secure mail website its seems the week that they sent out your application was when there was bad weather... U should be able to use their website to track your passport and if its a correct ...

Any i...

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...
