Hello,

I applied for ILR back in December via variation. I just came back to the house now to find two cards: one from DX and the other from Post Office. I think it is possible the DX is from the Home Office, as they are the only ones that use the service that I know. At the risk of sounding desperate and recognising the fact you are not soothsayers, is it likely they are delivering my documents? Does DX deliver refused-application documents?

Possibly. Suggest contact DX to either redeliver or arrange to collect.

Thanks CR001. I just arranged for re-delivery now. Will check out Post Office tomorrow. DX will be re-delivered on Monday.

UPDATE: I just got a refund of £500 Immigration Health Surcharge into my bank account. Bank text alert says it was done yesterday 16/03/17 (even though it just got thru). It is looking increasingly likely.

If you have received health surcharge back then its quite possible that your ILR application has been approved. Good Luck

If you were applying for ILR, why did you pay the IHS surcharge?

The OP probably varied the application to ILR as per the original post.

Well spotted!

First, all glory to Jesus for a journey well spent. And thanks to the UK govt for stretching me extremely, making me a better man in the process. Thanks Bruteforce, Casa, Vinny and CR001. Thank you everybody who has ever written a single line of word in this forum. @Casa: as pointed out by Bruteforce and Vinny, I varied to this application from FLR(FP) hence my payment of the IHS.

Quick Timeline:
Student visa from beginning till refusal in 2009. (Followed by appeal refusal, reconsideration refusal, and then a fresh, successful Tier4 Student visa application and a successful PSW application)
T1Entrepreneur visa from 2013 to 2016 September (at this time short of ILR qualifying period by 69 days).
My and my wife's initial FLR(FP) Private Life application was made in September 2016.
December, I varied mine to SET(LR) and for my wife, I submitted another FLR(FP) - this time, she is the main applicant.
This morning, I went to the post office and collected my docs, including my passports, Masters degree cert, LIUK 'cert' and most 'eye-catchingly', my ILR approval letter .
From variation to approval took 3.5 months.

Thanks very much. This forum has been a huge help to me and my family since 2012 in my immigration journey. I think the HO still has loads of ILR in the basket. Keep calm, keep right and take charge. Once again, thank you. New life, here we go!

I reckon I can now register my two UK born children as citizens right away?

Yes.

Really please it worked out well for you.

congrats
did u paid full fees for ur varying ILR app or just the difference?

Thanks, Paru. I paid the difference at variation.
