- how much of notice they have given you
- are you living closer to Bradford? Is that why they asked you to come over there?
Hi Inoka
I received a letter 16 June . Letter dated was 13 June . Similar letter to what you have received and I am too waiting for the date time and location .
Winter summer of you could let us know how long did you wait that would be helpful.
Inoka did you have any amendments etc ?

Hi Aditi
Have you done tax amendments ?[/quote]
Initial application - none
Extension - 2 employments . One employer did a mistake and they amended
Ilr - se and 1 employment - no amendments just late filing of 2014 15 self assessment ( no tax liability though in sales rather hmrc owes me )

Hi Both,
I got a letter dated 13/05/2016 inviting for an interview on 24/06/16 (they emailed me a copy of the letter on same day). So I didnt have to wait for a date. I think they need to give you 4 weeks notice.I think they do interviews via a video link anyway. so doesn't matter which office. I live in Newcastle. Now waiting for a decision

Thanks winter_summer
That's a bit strange coz I've been keeping a close eye on my emails and nothing received apart from that letter. I actually called the ho today coz I was worried incase something has been sent and I've missed it. But they said nothing has been sent since thn.
Thank you for the update though
Good luck for yours

Phew finally got my ILR
5 year Tier 1, Salaried Employee
Date of Application : 17 March 2016
Biometric Letter : 23 March 2016
Upgraded to Premium : 16 June 2016
Upgraded email send again : 17 June 2016
Upgrade Accepted Email on 20 June 2016
Upgrade Accepted Email on 21 June 2016
Payment Taken from Bank : 23 June 2016
Result has been made email : 27 June 2016
ILR Approval letter : 29 June 2016
I assumed from the website that UKVI normally replies on the same day for the premium service, they don't so be patient.. well for 2 days or try again.
I could see from the forum people from January and Feb are still waiting so clearly a March application would take longer. Hence I went for it.

Hello all,
Please as any one applied for ILR application and FLR (M) application the same time? Me and my wife visa will expire the same day and am applying for ILR while she apply for FLR (M) but am not sure how to go about this since she is depending on me.
As any one ever send both the ILR and FLR (M) application forms to the same address and if different address what is she going to write about me the husband since my postal application will still be in process.
Any help will really be appreciated
