Hello everyone.

I Sent my documents to home office on the 17/02/17 for my Long Residence (10 years) SET (LR) application. The first automated email from home office was received on the 17 March 2017 which mentioned that "Thank you for your application to the Home Office. Your application has been received and is being considered.
It may take up to six months to make a decision on your case ..." after that i received automated email every month. I have tried home office online tracking process to find something about my application but none of the Ref no. is working incl Royal mail tracking number.

Just need to know if someone can help me understand that if my six months period starts from the day documents are received by the home office (in my case it was received by 20/02/17) or it will start from the day i received an automated email which was 17 March 2017 ?

Any help would be great.

Thank You

Hi Mwk,
It will start from the day you post your application i.e in your case 17/02/17. You really have to be patience full as there are 1000s waiting from more then a year. I am personnel waiting since September 2016 on my SET LR case. I hope this helps.

Hello there,

Thank you so much for taking out time & replying back to my post. Did you try Home office online Application tracking service ? And did it work for you ? Because i tried it multiple times it didn't work for me, i even tried one of their helpline number on Home office website 0300 123 2241 but it redirects you back to the online tracking service. Because we been told that it will take 6 months to make a decision on application or they will write back to us in case there is some delay in making decision.

Thank You

Hi, Use your application ID number but remove zero. If it doest work put your royal mail tracking number or you can even try NHS- IHS number if you have paid NHs Fees. I hope it works for you.

Faiz, Try sending it between 08am to 12pm.As far as know they only accept few application depending on their availability of slots and only consider applications sent between this time frame of 8 to 12pm.....I hope this helps..........Good luck

Thanks can i send again and again until they consider for upgrade?
