Hi babe_khyber .. congratulations for your ILR. I hope all the best for you.

Thank you for the nice words and thanks for the praying. I really need it.

I was hoping to visit some family in Europe in April and I can't see this happening

plus my life is semi-suspended now because I have no papers !

I don't know what to do to be honest.

I contacted my MP office over 2 weeks ago as I mentioned before. I called the office again on Friday to see what happened, the guy said we sent them request to find out what is going on and they have not replied yet, I will see if I can chase them up. He seemed to be very helpful and nice. He even said you have come to the right channel in chasing up your application. Not sure if he is right or wrong !!

I did the application myself as when I applied I spoke to a solicitor who said the application is straight forward and if you feel comfortable to fill it in then you don't need me, now I regret that I have not used solicitor ! I don't know if I should get one involved !

Have not said that, we had messing about when I moved house, I think 6 weeks behind normal. So this bring me to end of August applications. I also added my wife who was not on the first application. So not sure if these factors creating delay or delay and problems??

Hopefully we will have a smooth and problem-free route. I get really nervous seeing some of the members are facing very long delays for no particular reason!

It is variable how the Home Office Respond to Biometric invitations.
My freind applied on 17th November and go his Invitation on 24th Jan, which was 2 months and a week.
Mine took about 6 weeks.
I guess yours should be in this week or the week after; however if you look at the earlier members their letters took nearly 3 months.

Hope this will help.

Dear Friends & Peterpan

Thanks for sharing your informations with us... It was all hepful and I appreciate your hardwork in keeping this forum alive.

No news with respect to Biometric Invitation Yet................................

Just repeating my time line...

Applied in 1st Week of January 2013
I am in January 2013 Club

I have decided as the normal time for processing postal applications is 6 months. Most of the cases decided as far as this forum is concerned is between 5-6 months.

Therefore I should wait at least 3 months for the biometric invitation before writing them a letter. As postal applications are subject to massive unreasonable delays......

I did called the help line for immigration inquiries...08706067766.... I chose the option .......inquiries for biometric .... and the staff on the line took the Home office reference number and said its showing up as still processing... No biometric letter has been despatched yet...........

Suggested me to wait more as according to her its very recent application ....(Although its been more then 2 months now)
I am surprised with the staff's defination of "Recent".... is two months "Recent" application...

Anyways guys have to wait in stress.....as some of you said life is semi suspended.......................................................

Thanks for reading and please keep it up................................Cheerssssssss

Hi Shairee

I find this strange as the biometric invitation was sent out to me within less than a month from the date I applied (in December). It has been nearly two months now, but I am aware that Home Office guidelines clearly stipulate that no Case Worker is allowed to spend more than 14 weeks working on an application from the date the biometric is completed. The appplication MUST be processed, and a decision MUST be made within this time frame. This is somewhat a sort of consolation for me. I will keep my fingers crossed for you, and I am sure you will receive the biometric invitation very soon, Shairee!

Hi Guys,

I am grateful to say finally my ILR has come after 8 months of stressful waiting. Below is my time line. I wish you all good luck and the long wait I suffered does not happen to anyone else as it is not EASY to wait with no communication at all from Home Office.

Application Submission = 3.7.2012
First Biometric = 20.10.2012 only me,my wife biometric went missing
Second Biometric = 22.11.2012 me again and my wife
ILR = 14.03.2012

Thank you all for your input and we might meet on a nationality forum.

Warmest wishes,

Doodoo
