Hi Ponnan,
May I know which email address you are receiving email from? Just to add that in my address list so, it will not go in to junk.

Hi Freedom10

Yes it is indeed good news. I have received the acceptance letter and BRP. Please see my post above for time line.

Yes it took in total about almost 5 months, so its still within their 6 months service time period. I will have to count an year from the day the decision was made. So I will only be able to apply for naturalisation after 1st of Nov 2017.

Thanks for doing regular updates on this blog.

Received email every month on the 16th/17th/ 19th (different dates the first was a Tuesday, then Friday and Monday) saying application under processing.
Received BRP for me and my son on 03/11/16 dated 1/11/16

And many people prayed for me to get it so I thank the almighty God for this.Good luck everyone!

Hi Hilman,

For my application it took about 5 months but some of my friends had their application about 7-8 months.

In my view, if you do not have any negative records and if your asylum case was strong, you should get the decision within 6 months. So in your case you should get a response before about 5th of February 2017.

Are you receiving emails regularly from Home Office saying the application is still being processed? In my case, i was receiving email regularly and then last month i did not receive the email. My guess was something has happened to my application either its status changed or they have made decision. My guess was right and i got the response. So keep watching your monthly emails.

If you still do not receive any response after 5 months, you could first write a letter and send it by post to
Liverpool address. In the letter you could say that Its been 5 months and I haven't received any response to my application and Could you please check my application status and let me know at your earliest convenience.

You will have to include these details ing your letter
• the applicant’s full name (as it appears on the application form)
• date of birth
• nationality
• the recorded signed for or special delivery number (if you used such postage)
• the date on which the application was posted, and
• your Home Office reference if you have one.

If you do not receive any response for your letter, then the next step would be to involve your local MP. You can do this online on this site https://www.writetothem.com/. Enter your postcode and select your MP and write to them. They might even arrange a meeting before they contact Home Office.

As I said, you may not need any of these, most likely you would receive the response before the February. I have mentioned these steps above just in case.

Good luck to all of you guys.

Hi Ponnan
Thanks for the information and guides.
I do not have any negative records so far and my asylum case was allowed in court and granted both refugee and human right status.
I am not receiving any emails from HO as I sent my application through a welfare association approved by HO and OISE as a immigration advisers.
Let wait till February 2017 and will take further afterwards.

As far as I know email notification is being sent to all ILR applicants. There couple of reasons why you may not receive email.

Emails might be in your junk/spam folder.

If application is sent via solicitors they might have given their email addresses

If your application when wrote the email address if you made any typo or if the email address was not in block letters or not clear to case worker they might have entered an invalid or wrong email in the system resulting in you receiving no email.

But you will get your visa within 6 months if no negative records and your asylum case was strong and still valid.

Hi guys has anyone done this, sent my application but I forgot to sign the last page (section 7), I was sent my application without my evidence to complete my signature, It has been 10working days and I still have not heard anything or received my biometrics letter yet.

I sent my original application on 11/10/2016.

Hi have you called the HO to ask for an update, also you can email your MP and ask them to get a progress report for you as it has been over 6 months, also contacting them by post is effective.

All the best
