Hi All,

I applied for Indefinite Leave to Remain(ILR) on 1st of December, 2007 under 5 years Work Permit bases. I received a payment confirmation letter from home office exactly after 3 days.

Today I have received another letter from home office which I am going to write down here and if someone could advised that what exactly this mean, I will be very much thankful to you guys....

It's a standard letter they send when they can't deal with it straight away. The letter is meaningless.

Thanks Victoria! Do you know how much time it will take roughly to get reply from them?

There is no set time that they will take for the enquiries! Keep your fingers crossed.

If you enquire with home office the standard response you will get is that it will take anywhere from 4 weeks to 14 weeks to reach a decision on the application. In certain cases it can take even longer.

Victoria,

You say the letter is meaning less but what are the further enquiries that they do?

VictoriaS · Post by **VictoriaS** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 12:33 am

In my experience, the often don't. It is a standard letter, sort of like when BT hold message says "you are next in line, please hold, your call is important to us".
