The IND website indicates an average processing time of 3.41 months as at the end of October. As to whether to submit the children's passports, I agree that Guide MN1 makes no mention of them , in "Section A" applications, so I presume IND don't need them - it is, of course, the case that...

My 10 years will finish in October 06. I have sent the passport to get the visa stamped under HSMP ( for the present visa under permit free training was expiring in July 06). I assume that there will not be a problem converting HSMP visa to ILR status.
