SET(O) and SET(M) applications - May 2012 (timelines only)

[SameerBhagawatUk]

As agreed I am starting a thread specifically for ILR SET(O), SET (M) applicants who applied in May 2012. Please enter your details and timelines and keep posted in this thread. I would request that only applicants of May 2012 post in this thread so we can monitor the progress of May applicants. There will be separate threads for other months as well.

For General discussion or to get an update as how others are doing we can always go through the main ILR thread.

Thanks

dadageer - thanks for the initiation - for consistency purposes I have used your text in the above post

Hey guys,

I have been silent visitor on the web site for many months now. Today my wife received her Biometric Card and Passport!! hurray

Timelines are as follow:

Visa Type - SET (M)
Applied - End of May 2012
Payments and Acceptence letter - early June 2012
Biometric letter received: Early August 2012 (However I did call up as I read on this forum that some people had received the letter month after they had submitted their application. Apparently UKBA did post one out in July but i didnt receive it. I can only assume that it got lost in the post! Anyway they sent another letter and Biometric was done on the same day)
Biometric Card, Passport and supporting document received today (20th Sept 2012).

Finally, we can book our flights and travel!! Woohoo

Best of luck to everyone that are waiting! hang in there inshallah you will receive it soon.
