Hi all

I've applied for my ILR in person this morning and just been handed over my documents and left the building. However the letter i was given didn't say anything like 'your ILR has been approved' . Instead it says that I will receive my BRP in 10 days blah blah. Does that mean I've gotten my ILR?

Also they returned all documents except my absence letters. Is it normal?

A quick reply would really calm me down.

Cheers

Many many congratulations ! I told you you will be fine . Enjoy!!!

You ILR is approved, don't worry.
BRP is now a part of the process, and I am sure you were fingerprinted and photographed at PEO itself, correct ? Which PEO did you visit ?

Thanks DK2011. Was meant to msg you personally but still a bit confused lol. So I got the ILR right? What's wrong for UKBA mentioning that in the letter, it would calm people down.
Is it normal for them to retain all the supporting documents like absence letters, etc?

That's a relief. Interesting they still need to validate the letters even after approving ILR. Not a problem anyways though.
