Re: Skydrive ILR Excluding 10/14 yrs.

I think for time being we can use the comments column. Can i ask to add application categories like [ Set(M), Set(O) for WP holder and Set(O) for Tier1), All these types of categories have different time lines so if we categories it is easy to for people to compare the timeline in same category.

The high volume of applications is not their faults but their decision (HO) to cut down the number of staff is, while at the same time they increased the fees. If you look at my past posts, it's clear that they're deceiving us in one way or another. This reflects on the staff morale too. I posted th...

Re: ILR postal processing times

It depends on your application type and luck. Personal view: That "service standard" of 95%/99%/whatever percentage they claim to be is just a myth. Many people here can attest to this. ILR postal applications (excluding 10/14 yr.) 10 years long residence SET (O) applications Hello All I w...
