congrats orafi . What was ilr stamp date? If u don't mind It is stamped on the 24th of may.. And I checked the mail was also sent on the 24th of may (surprising because i thought it has to go through several tunnels before it posted) .. But they didn't send it in the self addressed envelopes I sent ...

bob-russell, you have said exactly what I was going to say! If only they could clearly explain (in a document on the website somewhere) and indicate the different stages in processing. E.g. Stage 1: Received application, Stage 2: Payment cleared, Stage 3: Reviewing applications, Stage 4: Checking ...
Hi everyone, I just got a call from my MP's office saying that apparently my app has been resolved and that I should get it soon. Let's hope soon is not 4 weeks. Hi R&F whats the process to write to your MP? and do you think it helps? as in do you think it expedited your application in any way ...
oh mannn
does this mean you havent got your passport back yet skirty? and theres no way of knowing when they will decide to post it!!
so the sliver of hope i had of getting my passport before 2nd June is now lost...
this is a NIGHTMARE and i need to wake up!!
Hello ORafi - have you done your biometrics yet? I've been reading on some forums which say that having done your biometrics doesn't necessarily mean the application is okay, everybody has to do it. I Donno about biometrics cos I sent my application one day before biometrics became compulsory.. But ...
I sent off my SET (M) on 15 February but exactly a month later got all my documents returned to me saying I have used the wrong form. They refunded my fee. Used the updated form with biometrics section and sent everything off again on 19 March. Acknowledgment letter received on 20 March and payment ...
PS: does anyone else find these Advertisments for Holiday packages to exotic destinations at the bottom of these screens annoying !!??

ILR postal applications are taking approx 3 months to process at present. Casa, thanks for that info. Are they taking 3 months for Set M specifically or is it the same for set O etc? Also if you submit an outdated form does the timeline start from scratch when you re-send the correct form? I ...
Hi oRafi! I think with the settlement checking service, it doesn't make the wait any shorter, but it did give me that link between myself and my visa application, which really puts my mind at ease. You applied on the 28th Feb, a day after me, and as i understand, we applied JUST before the ...
Hi Skirty, Faraty, I also applied (actually Re-Applied as i had earlier sent an outdated form) on the 28th of February. No news since. Skirty are you sure the current waiting times are 13 - 16 weeks? I didnt submit it through the settlement checking service but i did speak to them about my ...
Hi there, you are i are pretty much in a similar situation. a friend of mine got her ILR in 3 weeks so i went ahead and posted my application without doing any research.. (to top it off i made the grave mistake of submitting an outdated form and had to resubmit it!) aside from kicking myself ...
Hi all, I thought I should share my timelines with you. Mine is a pretty straight forward case but I had submitted an outdated form by mistake. UKBA then asked me to submit the correct form (they said i just needed to send the form and that new documents were not required) ILR Set (m) ILR posted ...
thanks for the replies everyone - its good to know there are some people out there you can talk to. (everyone i talk to outside gives me grief about not going for the face to face application! MISTAKES HAPPEN! ugh) Frustrating is an understatement actually... in the days of the internet and phones ...
Yes the letter they sent was from the Liverpool office (L2 0QN) - it was a bit confusing but i mailed it to the Liverpol office and they recieved it. i did not get an acknowledgement for this application but I am sure they recieved it. How much longer do you think we have to wait now? i sent second ...
Hi everyone, I would greatly appreciate some advice. I applied for the ILR under Set (M) by post on 24th Jan 2012. I recieved the acknowledgement letter and the money was deducted from my account the following week. Unfortunately i submitted an outdated form (version 04/11 instead of 10/11) and on ...
