Hey guys..

i have submited my ILR documents on 7th Jan .. my visa expires on 30th Jan so less than a month left

i am permanent employee in o2 mobile.

can anybody tell me when u apply for ILR do u get any letter from them or aknowledgment etc ???

and wot is the processing time ? how things work during ILR process ?

Thanks in advance

processing times can vary depending on the number of applications pending. but you have nothing to worry as you have applied before your current permission of stay expires.

Thnx Sree

but shall i get aknowledgment letter from HO to show my company as a prof ?

You will get one as soon as possible.

You may wish to check out this link, it will give you a clear picture about processing times

Yes you would receive an acknowledgement letter which would normally tell you that your application has been received and would be passed on to a caseworker....you can show this to your company as proof of the application as it will have a reference number on there

the letter states that if there is anything wrong with your application they will contact you and that you are not to contact them before then unless you want your documents back.

generally it takes somewhere between 1 to 4 weeks to get the acknowledgement letter. in my case it was 1 week....

timescales vary....for set (m) about 8 -12 weeks on average....set (o) is a different matter....about 10-16 weeks on average.....these are figures collated from a sticky in this forum.....you would find lots and lots of useful information and stories in there.....

As far I know, if you start a new job then employer won't accept acknowledge letter however if you are already working then your employer may accept acknowledgement and let you continue with your job, a new employer is supposed to see a valid visa and permission to work before they can hire you.

I had feeling that will happen , bt I'm deaprate for job. Its soo annoying .I'm wondering how long they take more to make decine ?

The average waiting time for postal applications is 3 months but I think it depends how many applications they got to decide, be prepared to wait a wee bit longer as home office received lots of applications before BRP started as of 29 feb and due to easter holidays.
Good luck.

Wats brp? Is it biomatric ? does it apply on those too who applied before 29feb ?

BRP is biometeric residence permit if u you applied before 29 feb then you wont get BRP.

why did you do that?

it takes 6 7 months for postal applications dont you know that?

Well Emrah,

I'm quite well versed in the inefficient of the ILR application process by now so yes I know that 95% of cases are finalised in 6 months. But if you consider that there is absolutely no mechanism of finding out how much longer (than the 6 months) the process is going to take its pretty pointless continuing with the approach. Especially if you can't afford not to travel.
