application not accepted when applying in person

Hi all

thanks for all the information. Here is my another query.
I am applying for ILR in person. I started my work permit Visa in October 2004. However, I lost my passport in 2005. Then I re-applied the Visa in May 2005. So the Visa on the passport now shows valid from May 2005.

I have been told that my case cannot be dealt with on the same day and I have to do postal application. Is that true? Has anyone had the similiar experience?

Thanks for sharing.

If you applying on 10 years basis then you have to apply by post as there isn't any in person service exist for long residency applications
You should double check with HO about your duration while your passport was lost in 2005 then you got your new visa stamped on your passport by HO
Good Luck!
