Just an update,

As I mentioned before in my question that my application came as invalid in 2008 when I applied for visa extension because I forgot to sign it. HO retained the fees and asked me to sigh the application fees send it back to them. I did it in less than a week but in there records they had that I applied in January 2009 (the date when I signed it) not in Oct 2008. Only proof I had was the back statement that HO took money from my account.
I got my IT records (SAR) from the HO and it had all the details including my In-time/Invalid application in Oct 2008.
To be on the safe side I arranged a solicitor and they said that its a glitch in HO side so nothing to worry about. they prepared a covering letter stating what happened and also attached the Bank statement with it where the HO transaction was shown.

went for the same day premium service and without any questions I got my ILR on the base of LR 10 years rout.

thanks for this forum and gurus to help me out.

Cheers
