Not heard of HO sending text messages for ILR applications. Not sure what confused you in my post.

Hi noajthan thanks for your reply.....maybe someone knows and uve confirmed from my friends and no one accepting it. So maybe someone trying to pressurise me. I have submitted my additional documents on 11th Feb do you know how long does they take to give the decision since I have attended the PSC centre. I have to go abroad but since the case worker asked me to submit the documents all I have to do is wait.

My sentence was complete and I had not intention of adding 'TIME' to it. I used 'THIS' as reference to the 'SMS' service.

CR001 isn't online this evening, but you've misunderstood. She was saying that she has never heard of the HO using this text service.
