Yes Jesse8.
I remember that before 3 people (I knew srilankan) was waiting more than a year to get the ILR as this same issue in place at the time but unlikely we are are the victims this time.
Are you family or single applicant??

Approval via email around 14:43 on 26/06/2020

Applied ILR application: 28/01/2020

UKCVAS is dealing with applications in the order that they were submitted. Useful to keep an eye on their announcements and updates on their website.

Hi
Im also waiting to make an appt. I have done my application on 1st May. I received an email from them that they are dealing with applications before mine and I should expect another email by 13th July that would allow me to book an appt.

Does anyone know how I can change my address on the application? Can I just inform them when I go for my appt or should be done by email? 🤷🏻‍♀️
Thanks

Today 6 months have been completed, no update received yet. I've contacted HO over the phone, the person at call centre said there is no service standard for SET (P) applications however I should have received within SIX months. They've asked me to write a letter to UKVI asking for update. So.......... I'm going to write a letter now. :shock:
Update:
I was just about to write a letter today but received letter from HO, saying they aim to process all applications within 6 months but my application has caused some complexity and that they'll process it within 3 more months. (new date given 01 Feb 2020)
So... God willing I shall now wait another 3 months.

So, nothing received at all. No correspondence. The revised date of 1 Feb2020 had been long past. It's very frustrating to be honest.
any updates with your application? hope you have heard something by now?
Finally got my BRP today! Took well over 14 months. But Thank God! No more wait!

Did the HO explain what the complexity is in your application?
Karim,
No, it's just standard letter format for complex nature.

Good question. I scanned all my passport pages in one PDF file and the total size is above the max allowed which is 6MB? Not sure what to do. Can anyone answer this please? Do we need to scan all passport pages?

Just a quick update on my case

I applied online on 16-May

Yesterday I received an email to book an appointment, and I booked one on 11-July at Croydon Core Centre.

I was surprised the appointment is for £330. This is not a premium lounge or anything. Just standard appointment. I did not find any free appointments whatsoever, even at other UKVCAS locations? Did anyone managed to find free appointments?

When the HO knows that if a refugee is granted ILR &after a year will be able to apply &get approved for nationality they hold or delay the application while when HO knows that even if the refugee is granted ILR but after a year wouldn't be able to get approval for nationality as he was an overstayer or illegal worker the HO grants ILR quickly.They always play smart/clever game with applicants.Im sure most of the delayed applicants are either eligible for nationality after ILR without waiting or those who have families &claim benefits.
Could be true and it all depends on the case worker I suppose..
Jesse8
It doesn't depend on the caseworker when to decide an application as caseworkers only follow current HO policy for each application &for each application they are provided training what to do &how to do &follow current policy.I don't think caseworkers do anything as they want but what they are told to follow.Its not a fair &just system we all know that as it is a politicised system.
I mean like....there was a show on an Asian channel about immigration topic...they mentioned that there is huge pressure to bring the net migration level...that could be influence the way in which the caseworkers handle the cases....but yeah it's all assumptions...we could only hope for the best....
Hi Jesse8
Do have any updates in your application or anyone from SL recenly got decision. Pls update me do you have anything.
