Yes tulip, unfortunately... I phoned my local council today to see if they got anything as I did not get any post this week. The lady on the phone said they received few approvals this morning and checked if my name was there but unfortunately... Anyway it looks like they working well on March applications.

I tried that too yesterday ironmaiden!! Like you I was told big fat no too lol!! Hang in there, it will [it has to!] come...

[hestervanderpoll]

Phoned UKBA too and my council.....you have to wait until
they contact you. Immigration cannot tell you how your
application is doing while it is being processed. Which is
6 months. Will carry on waiting patiently.

£900 poorer: March 10th, 2015

Am I the only one sick of people complaining about £900 when current applicants are forking out £100 on top of this?

No point getting "sick" it's just the way of people's expression when the money is deducted. That could be whether it's £1 to over £1000 To be honest with you when it comes to the UKVI and application fees, nothing matches the price difference of the ILR applications between now and 2 months ago.

[tulip11]

3rd month ....huh ...

[Ayeo]

£900 poorer: March 10th, 2015

Ok.. so maybe I'm a hundred pounds better off than you... Why doesn't that make me feel any better.... Oh yes, maybe because I don't care whether other people have paid less or more that what I was charged. Don't know what to do to feel a bit better... I think I'll go out for lunch and then to the cinema... after all, I've got some spare cash given the saving I made by applying before April.

Hello....can you please do others a sweet little favour. Please stop fighting. We are all waiting patiently for our citizenship and are in the same boat together. No matter how much we paid. Let's keep to the topic please. Thank
you.
