How to get your ILR number?

Post by Smiggy » Mon Oct 22, 2018 4:07 pm

Hi,

My wife, and I successfully finalised her ILR (Indefinite Leave to Remain) in Sheffield. We used the Premium Service.

We've completed her Naturalisation application form online, but not submitted it because her new bio-metric card has not arrived yet.

We have an appointment with our local authority next Monday to use their check in service. We're concerned the card might not arrive this week, and we may have to make another payment just to push the appointment back, as there are only so many number of times you're allowed to postpone even with enough notice. Is there a way to get my wife's ILR number now instead of waiting for it to arrive? It's been a few days since we used the premium service, so we're confident it's been generated by now.

Please assist.

You need to wait for the ILR BRP card for the reference number.

We completed the ILR on the 21st. The appointment with the LA is on the 29th.

It's likely arrive by this Saturday at the latest?

We completed the ILR on the 21st.
Yesterday??

No one can tell how long the card will take. Some people get it with 2 or 3 days, others wait the 7-10 working days and other sometime longer.

Call DX couriers to check if they have a delivery.

Note that it is not HO or the premium centres that manufacture or print the cards, it is outsourced to another gov department.

I am sorry. I meant the 20th.

Who're DX couriers? Do you have a number?

So all of 2 days ago. Be patient.

Google the courier customer service number, you have the name of the courier firm now.
