Hi all, I have been a silent spectator of these forums for quite a while. Seeing everyones journey is both exciting and dreadful!

I will create a separate topic with all the documents I attached, travel planner, cover letter and other helpful details once I conclude this process.

Thanks!

ILR granted! From HO receiving the application to me receiving BRP's < 2 weeks. I had to get it expedited for urgent business reasons (in the process of raising an investment round).

I will share my journey in a separate thread soon! Thank you everyone!

This topic is for ILR postal applications for Set(O), Set(F) and Set(M) ONLY and NOT for Set(LR) questions or varying to Set(LR) questions and most definitely NOT for discussing Tax Discrepancies and Amendments.

Previous topic locked due to the usual off topic discussions and posts by some members causing the thread to become low value and rambling.

Please DO NOT post just for the sake of posting, i.e. posts with 'any updates anyone' or 'still waiting', etc will be removed.

hi hanniaali,
i am in same situation as you. i applied for ILR in october 6th and i'm still waiting.
the waiting is really frustrating and at the moment i have no job as all my documents are still with HO.
i will advice you don't request your passport back from home office as you application will be withdrawn.
you only have 2 months to go and i'm sure its worth the wait.
i will like to know if anybody on a 10 years long route for ILR october application by standard post have got the approval
thanks
This is a TIMELINE ONLY updates topic. Please do not post questions or comments here, especialy ILR 10 years long residence ones as this is not a long residence timeline topic.
