Processing time for ILR - Update

Post by mirnat » Wed Apr 01, 2009 10:29 am

I had put up another post about how long in people's recent experience is the waiting time after submitting an ILR application by post. I just put up yesterday about how I was expecting my Albanian husband to have to wait 3 months before hearing back from the Home Office. We had a nice surprise when we got home yesterday - they had returned our passports and all our supporting documents and have granted him ILR! It took 5 weeks after submitting the application for them to make their decision!

He came here on 24th March 2007 on a 2 year spouse visa and has obviously now (as from 26th March 2009) been granted ILR. Does anyone know when is the earliest time now he can apply for naturalisation?

Congrates on getting ILR visa. It will be 1 year from the day the visa was stamped.

Hi Good people

I know some us us are struggling with finances and some can't even get a job until they get a decision with their passports from the HO. Therefore, it is EXPENSIVE calling those 0870/0845xxxxxxxxx numbers that the Home office generally provides.
Don't give up, now you can call Home Office for free, just check out www.saynoto0870.com and you will be provided with a local 0208/0151/0161xxxxxx number where you can contact HO for FREE! The actual number is 01516725626. (But log on to www.saynoto0870.com and confirm for yourself)
Especially if you have a pay monthly home or mobile telephone contract. You can still call from a pay as you go mobile but the charge rate will be like you are calling your neighbour next door on any 0208xxxxxxxx number.
Good luck Razz (Please share with others if it works for you!)
