Eligibility criteria: 2 years HSMP + 3 years Tier1 + 12 month ILR
Method of application: NCS Poole
Date of application: 23rd September 2013
Date of receipt by UKBA: 24th September 2013
Date of acknowledgement : not received
Date of debit of fees: 02nd Oct 2013
Date of approval: 30th Oct 2013 received 07 Nov 2013
Date of ceremony:04 Dec 2013

I have called and emailed HO for status and they finally confirmed today that a decision was sent out yesterday and have refused to tell me the status. Now am so nervous not sure wot to expect as my application was not so straight forward. I had to declare a CCJ I had last year but was unaware of when I applied for ILR. SO not sure if my application might be rejected. Just so stressed

Congrats

Yaayyyy, I finally got the brown envelope, thanks all this is a great forum. Information is power.

You be alright. Be positive and good luck.

the cause of the delay is that many ppl rushed to apply before the 28 October changes , thi smeant there is unusual number of applications and the system is overwhelmed
good luck
