As and when the CW wishes it. No one can tell you when this may be.
See also waiting times.

If travel cannot be delayed and you cannot wait, then withdrawing the application may be the only option.


Please don't make multiple posts on the same topic.

Did you use Settlement checking Service? If so your wife and kids should have their passport dont need to wait to travel.

It took my wife 4 weeks after the biometric was done to receive ILR.

Hi guys,

my application sent -27 jan14. Happy waiting

[diehard]

Hi guys
I applied for ILR, i was requested a document last week , and after a week i have received a Biometric resident permit card for 2 years !!!! i was hoping for indefinite , can any one senior please advise what could be the reason
thanks

What document did they request?

[diehard]

Hi Amber
The caseworker wrote requesting ELA -English language accessment for my degree, she gave me 3 weeks to reply, same day i sent my degree to uk naric and sent her proof that i am on it...but before the deadline she gave me, i received a letter from another case worker to say i have only submitted part of KoLL by providing Life in uk doc and not submitted English proof! hence he refused ILR..
i am shocked as I cant afford to pay again the whole fees and go through the whole process , waited full 6 months .. I do agree i did not give naric proof but I had already used my degree for entry clearance .
What most surprised me is that they requested something which i am providing before their given deadline and still they refused without any right to appeal...

[Amber]

Write back with proof you satisfy B1 English and LIUK explain that you sent the required document back in time ask then to change from FLR to ILR. You don't appeal if you're granted leave.

[diehard]

Thanks but my B1 proof has not arrived from Uk Naric, it will arrive by end of next week, so do I wait to write to the case worker or so i write to say i am in the process to submit as i was given a deadline on 9th july to respond.

[Amber]

Check the PBS calculator, if the degree is awarded 20 or more points for qualification and 10 for English Skills, send a print out. Alternatively, a UKNARIC SoC and a letter from the awarding institution, the latter of which has a fast track service so you could have the information required within a few days.

[diehard]

Thanks Amber , I have applied for ELA, not for Soc as thats what the case worker had asked me to provide, just the ELA. and as you mentioned there is no fast track available for ELA .

[diehard]

Well I have writted to the case worker with all the proof , how do I proceed if he does not accept it ? do I make a complaint or do I make a fresh application - and spend another 1500

[Amber]

You wait and see what their response is.

[diehard]

ELA form Naric confirming CEFR C1 receieved today, sent to case worker with letter

[diehard]

Hello all
Still no response from case worker after 7 weeks ..rang call centre but they dont know/cant say anything.no acknowledgement that caseworker has received my letters - all sent by first class recorded..

Hi Diehard,
What number did you call. You should have gotten acknowledgement letter from HO as soon as they got your mail. Seven weeks is a bit long for them to let you know anything. Here is another number to call if you like. It is best to call in the morning and you might have to wait a while. 0300123224 option 2. Let us know what they say.

Hi Tangie
That's the number I have called them on , spoke to 4 different people . They just really don't give any info and its very hard to make them understand that they asked for a document, I sent it but wasn't looked at.
I complaint twice , got automated acknowledgement twice but no reply from human or caseworker. I have lost hope totally now ...

[diehard]

Hi all does anyone know if I take my wife for set m appointment or can I go alone?
Thanks

[Amber]

You should go together. Otherwise, a letter of support will be required.

[diehard]

Thanks Amber. I have now started judicial review process as I have been given 2 year leave instead of ILR. Does anyone know thatif I win do I get compensation / court fees?
