May be we could write to Minister of State (Borders and Immigration) bringing to his attention problems of long wait being faced by people applying under 10 year ILR category.

Could the necessary information (average wait time to process specifically 10 years ILR applications) be asked for under the 'Freedom of Information Act 2000'?

Was any reason given why same day premium service was withdrawn for people applying under 10 years continuous legal stay and people falling under this category are now being asked to apply only by post? All I read was a directive that from 1st Jan 2010 people under this 10 years category can only ap...

also its stupid to apply for electrol polling list when i can not even do it since im not a UK citizen...this action can lead to a negative impact on my ILR application. Actually as far as I know, all commonwealth citizens resident in UK are allowed to vote so there is no rule per se that one has t...

Hi Everyone I had 2 specific query(s) related to ILR and would be grateful if members have a go at it.... If a person has applied for ILR and then after already sending his/her ILR application later receives his/her SAR file from the Home Office in which there are certain documents which the person ...

DJC If I may....may I suggest you also read Home Office 'Immigration Directorates Instructions' pertaining to 'Long Residence' and this guide should hopefully clear most of your queries.... as well as comments on some of the threads of 'Indefinite leave to remain' on this forum where members have al...

Just curious....In the model letter on the forum, the address is: To UK Border Agency Leave to Remain – SET (O) PO Box 495 Durham DH99 1WR Date: XX JAN 2010 Some minor query(s): 1.

Congratulations. I am glad to hear things eventually worked out for you.

A big hello to all members on this forum, Apologies if this query has already been raised/posted on this forum in the past but could members share their experiences of having applied to Home Office (or members who are soon planning to apply) for ILR after their 10 years continuous legal stay in UK. ...

Anyone needing tips on passing the test, please send me a message.

I didn't use any CDs.

Made my own notes (total of approx. 12-15 pages) and everything came from the notes I had prepared for this test.

Applying for ILR.

Many thanks for the prompt reply(s).

So I suppose no alternative left now but to send the application by post and then wait for months on end for a decision from the Home Office.

I prepared for a week and gave the test and was able to complete (and pass) the test in less than 2 minutes. Even the test supervisor was surprised and stated 'that was real quick'.
