Hi All, The wait is finally over for me!! I just received the email stating my ILR is granted and that I'll receive decision letter and BRP in post. It took close to 2.5 weeks for this email to come through. I'd like to think mine was a straightforward application for Tier 2 General. I'll definitely...

I received a letter from my MP that he has escalated the case to the UKVI MP's correspondence team (on 7th Feb) and has requested them to expedite the case. I made second escalation over UKVI helpline on 11th Feb and received standard email with '..aim to complete in 24 hours' rhetoric on 12th Feb....

Hello, would anyone be kind enough to copy and paste the confirmation email they got from the Home Office after using the Super Priority Service? I applied for Set (M) today in Croydon on the 5 year spouse route and got a very cryptic email from Home Office on the same day. See below: I’m pleased t...

can I ask for those that escalated the situation with their MP what did you use in the subject line when you sent it to them?

This is what I put in my subject line of email

“Assistance Request: Indefinite Leave to Remain Application with UK Visas and Immigration [Case ID: xxxxxxxx]”

Good morning, I am still waiting for any information regarding my ILR application as well. Was using super priority service. Here is my timeline: 28 Jan 11.00: attended appointment in Corydon, bio-metrics taken 4 Feb: emailed complaints to complaints@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk and local MP 5 Feb: emaile...

'exceptionally complex' response re 24hr deadline? - anyone else get this? Hi all. I went to Birmingham for my biometrics yesterday (SEWT-M, super priority) and got a rather alarming email today, just at the 24hr mark. I wanted to see if others received the same wording, or if I should be as worrie...

I'm so happy to share the news that I just got the decision email saying that ILR has been granted for us. I'll consolidate my timeline below for reference.

This is exactly the email I got when I escalated 3 days after my biometrics appointment. I tried calling them yesterday and they asked me to wait until this Thursday EOD (5 working days) before they can escalate again. Surprisingly, I just mentioned the date of my application in the call and they a...

No news yet. Planning to send an email to my local MP today. I applied for an ILR via Tier 2 (5 years rule), for me, my wife and child and here are my timelines. Online Application submitted: 21 Jan 2019 Biometrics submitted at UKVCAS Premium Lounge, London: 28 Jan 2019 Still waiting to hear back. ...

Just report my finished case of super priority service. Attended service centre at Glasgow and paid for the super priority service. Contacted UK VI almost every week and only got standard reply. Initially I though I have to wait for 6 months even paid for so called super priority service fee. Confi...

Can't seem to edit post so will post new as it may help. On phone today UKVI said that they are still within their timeline. According to them 5working days start after the 24hr period to make a decision has ended. So technically, until tomorrow, they say they are within acceptable timeline. Just t...

Hi all I applied online on 17th of January and submitted my biometrics at Sopra Steria in Croydon on 26th of January, and still do not have any reply. On Monday I am planning to escalate the case by every possible method. Does anyone have some sort ot template for the email to wright to UKVI and lo...

Online app: 31 dec 18 Biometrics : 14 Jan 19 Visa expiry: 4 Feb 19 Called Ukvi like 5 times now. They were so rude, They managed to escalated 2ce now still no news (22nd Jan n 29th Jan...

Hi, Had biomatrics appointment on 26th Jan 2019. Received Email from caseworker: 30th Jan 2019. Decision : waiting. I don't know what he wants to say. Is my application been decided or just im being tackled. Email is: Thank you for your application. Although we would normally decide your applicatio...

Did they atleast agree to escalate for you? From what I've read in this forum, many people were told that they can't escalate before 5 working days. I also applied on 28th Jan. Instead of calling them, I'm thinking of emailing on their complaints id. Yes, the agent told me he would escalate this, I...

If you don't hear within 24 hours in the vast majority of cases it means that the decision will be delivered by post. They rightly advise to wait 5 working days for the letter to arrive. my impression from this thread is that those who apply with the new service and attend ukvcas Copra Steria, firs...

Hi, I have similar situation as you in that I also have submitted application with details of spouse, but she is not yet eligible for ILR so haven't provided any of her documents. If you don't mind, can you please give an indication of what is the nature of dependent related query they have raised?...

This is just my theory, I might be wrong. It seems like people who have had bigger gaps between the date of submission and the date of biometrics get their decisions much faster than people who have booked their biometrics in just a few days of submission. They must be lining up the applications as...
