[chrisrich]

Congs skymoon! Enjoy your indefinite leave, nice to see set M list getting cleared!

[gid1818]

sometimes I wonder why OH/UKBA treat Foreigners like shit. I just can't get my head around it. they are quick to take money from your account but careless in dealing with with the application.

Sent my application for ILR on set M on 21/11/2011 via next day recorded delivery; tracked documents to ensure they have received it on the 22/11/2011.

Three months on,Homeoffice/UKBA have sent me a letter today dated 04/02/2012 telling me they can't find any of my supporting documents including my passport and my wives.The only document they reckon they have is my life in uk test, marriage certificate and education cert.

The worse part is that, they are asking me to resend the document which they have misplaced before they can consider my application.

I am confused because don't know how I will be able to obtain all that within this short period. Can somebody advice what action to take; is there anybody on this forum who have had this experience with OH?

Unfortunately, sent the photocopies as well as they requested


May be you should try to give them a call & hopefully, they may advise you, did you make any photocopies of the documents? Their negligence is shocking!

At long last, UKBA have found my documents. 01/03/2012 received a letter from case worker apologising for the distress they have caused and that decision has been taken and it will follow shortly with all my documents.

[chrisrich]

Happy for you gid1818, hope you get your ILR very soon

[boniface]

I received my passport today. My timeline for ILR Set (M) is 12 weeks;

App sent 08/12/2011
Ack letter recd 13/12/2011
ILR recd 03/03/2012 dated the 19/02/2012

I request UKBA to return my wife passport on 20/02/2012 but they sent my ILR by Ist Class Recorded Delivery on 29-02-2012 and received on 03/03/2012.

They did not return my Life in the UK test Pass notification? What should i do?

Thank you so much for this forum and all the people who contribute with their stories and the members for keeping the lists updated!

I wish you all the best and hope you get the good news soon;-)

Congrats. I did the same thing, requested my partners's passport after waiting 4 months but they only sent my partner's passport, not mine. I am happy for you.

[skymoon]

Thank you chrisrich & boniface, And hope that you and others who are waiting get their ILR soon InshAllah.

Hi MiraclePrayer / Shuklac78

Just out of my interest - I can view - you both been waiting on your SET(O) application for more than 6 months - would it not be a good idea contacting UKBA to find the status of your applications and reason for delay?

Had you got any update on your application, if possible please share with us.

dear all,
i am a new comer and these are my details

ILR JR set o (mine and dependents)
sent 14 oct 2011
confimration letter 17 oct 2011
waiting patiently

I also have moved houses recently and have my post redirected.Would this be a reason for me to contact them to let them know new address or should i leave it alone.any other members experienced this?
happy for your advice

[doubletrouble]

I like your username!

I think UKBA should have a link to this forum so that people like onlyifIknew would would think twice before sending postal application.

Most of us were under the impression that UKBA was as efficient as few years ago when they used to take 4 weeks for postal applications.

I pray so Polly, God grant us good speed!

@OnlyifIknew, It is a good idea to update them about change in address but you should keep checking at the old addresses as well to see if there is anything for you. Someone on here missed their Christmas holiday because the documents were sent to the old address, after sometime they phoned UKBA to inquire about the application progress only to be told they were sent many a month or so ago.

[sm39]

Finally, but not without intervention from my MP.

SETO (Ancestry) + 4 deps

Applied: 08/08/11
Acknowledged: 12/08/11
Email to MP: 13/12/11
MP response: 15/12/11 stating UKBA are requesting further evidence of my employment status.
Phone call from UKBA caseworker 20/12/11 saying to ignore letter as application is approved.
UKBA letter dated 15/12/11 received 22/12/11 requesting 5yrs payslips - used to heat the home that night.
Passports received: 06/01/12

Thank you to all in this forum. This forum stands out as one of the most useful and informative of any on the internet.

Good luck to all and don't be afraid to ask your MP for support.

Hi,

Can you please guide me what did you write to Local MP. Have you given any reason to him to expediate the application.
Thanks

Hi,
I complete my 5 years of stay in UK on 18th March 2012. In this course of stay of 5 years, I have been out of UK for 210 days for various reasons, mainly vacations and once due to work(74 days). Am I still eligible to apply for ILR? I haven't been absent for 3 months or more at one go. Can someone guide please?

Thanks.

Rithi 112 days not that many as its total luck sometime they decide in 12 weeks and sometime 6 months,as its up to luck that u come in 95% application which are decided with in 14 week or 5% which take 6 months.
But honestly speaking the persons who are applying under 10 years and 14 years are getting faster than 5 years ILR applicants,reason no one knows.

[onlyifiknew]

Well,i am trying to rationalise my own decision to go by post,not very cuccessful though.
I am into my 20weeks and guessin they will start realisin i am goin into 6th month .this will be the trigger for the caseworker to start on my file.

I like your username!

I think UKBA should have a link to this forum so that people like onlyifIknew would would think twice before sending postal application.

Most of us were under the impression that UKBA was as efficient as few years ago when they used to take 4 weeks for postal applications.

dear all,
i am a new comer and these are my details

ILR JR set o (mine and dependents)
sent 14 oct 2011
confimration letter 17 oct 2011
waiting patiently

I also have moved houses recently and have my post redirected.Would this be a reason for me to contact them to let them know new address or should i leave it alone.any other members experienced this?
happy for your advice

Did you manage to speak to UKBA about your application now that 6 months have been completed?

Happy for you gid1818, hope you get your ILR very soon

12 days after the caseworker has made a decision and still waiting to get my passport. Called them yesterday and was told there is nothing in the post for me.
