Passport received yesterday. Tracking number never work as it just say unable to track online but it arrived anyway. All the best guys!!

[TheGreenTea]

Got my docs today. My application has been refused.

[ilr-tracker]

Thats not good news.
Could you please share why was it refused?
Do you still have leave to remain.
Have they given you opportunity to appeal.

Got my docs today. My application has been refused.

[glyyde]

Got my docs today. My application has been refused.

Sorry to hear that. What was the reason stated?

Application Type ILR: SET (o) 10 years (used a lawyer)
Date application posted: 19-12-2012
Date application received at UKBA: 21-12-2012
Biometric letter received: 17-01-2013
Date of biometrics enrollment: 18-01-2013
Refusal letter date: 02-Aug-2013
Date of return of passport and other docs: 12-Aug-2013

Reasons for refusal:
1. Broken leave because spent in total more than 18 months (540 days) absent from the UK.
2. Left UK at one point after my leave was expired and came back after more than 28 days. Therefore the continuous residence was broken at that point and any residence prior to that point cannot count towards continuous residence.
For the record, neither of those points were a surprise to me, I have applied at the discretion of the officer and hoped that submitted evidence was enough for the UKBA to accept that there are factors of compelling and compassionate nature .

My letter doesn't state if I have the right to appeal or not. not sure if can appeal whilst being on a valid visa.


Not sure if this helped to speed the process, but I did fax a letter and flight tickets to UKBA on 31st of July stating that I have booked a holiday for the end of Aug.

Good luck to everybody else!

[SET0]

TheGreenTea, very sorry to hear that.. Hope you can work it out somehow.

I still haven't received mine...

That's wonderful news Set0 and Wheresmyilr.

I have also applied on 21st Dec 2012 as Tier1 (2+3) holder. Hopefully, my application is also being processed and will arrive shortly.

Can anyone else confirm they have received their ILR?

[Ludlow]
