Premium upgrade timeline ILR

[eddiemurphy]

Thanks khanNW for advice. I did email premium team today to ask for the reason as the very first email I had from them which confirmed provisional approval also confirmed that upon arrival of my application they will review it and if eligible only then they will process the payment. I am waiting for a reply from premium team now.

Finally received my |LR approval letter and didn't even have to go through premium upgrade! This is why I never had money withdrawn etc. YAY finally free from the HO for a while.

We applied on June 23rd and have had no luck so far. Hopefully it will not take 6 months. I have noticed other people are getting their's in 5 months! Holding thumbs!

Hi,
For the people applying for premium upgrade, I was able to find that the delay in processing of application once accepted by Premium upgrade team was due to transit issues. It has affected 35 applicants since the service was started (I was one of them) and other 200 applicants got their decisions in 5 working days. They are aware of transit delays and intended to improve by reviewing the causes of delays.

On average, 3 applications were accepted each day (Mon-Thursday)
