Hi everyone,

Documenting this here for my own sanity more than for anyone else! Is slightly discouraging that everyone's application recently seems to be taking almost the full 6 months, but also comforting to know it's not unusual to have to wait!

I was hoping to get to go skiing in April, but it's looking like it may take longer than that, based on other people's recent timelines. Disappointing, but would rather just have it and be done with it, than to have to wait about all over again! Double the ski trips next year it seems!

I am somewhat of a silent observer on these boards but they have been very helpful during stressful periods so I wanted to share my experience. This is the first application we have done via post as usually we would go to the premium service centre:

Applied for ILR Route : SET (M) - 5 Year Route

Knowing that other people were also waiting for periods as long as this was very reassuring when I was panicking that there was a problem. I can't quite believe that we are finally there are 6 years of applications and stress. To everyone still waiting, keep calm, it will be fine!

I am applying with two dependents needing second extension, we enrolled the biometrics at the same time. My solicitor helped us sent out the applications. My case is straight forward as well the only reason we involved the solicitor is that we needed it to be more secure . It is nice to feel not alone here. Hope we all get good results soon.
Merry Christmas everyone

Long 4 months passing, still no result. The waiting is being painful, really hope it will end up soon .

Hi CROO1

For post by shakqas » Sat Feb 02, 2019 10:06 am

It is important to know whether it was Standard or Super Priority service. Please can you check

Please desist from asking questions in this topic!!!!

The user POSTED their documents, so OBVIOUSLY it was NOT Super Priority!!!
