Few LR cases who submitted their ILR (LR) application on 1st and 2nd Aug got their ILR approval today.

Where have you seen this, please? Nothing on the Set (LR) timeline thread...latest is 29th July on there.

A more niche question to you. How long did it take HO to clear out June applications? It will be interesting to see this trend for July as well when HO move on to August applications. This will tell us if HO are catching up or mainitaining the 3-4 months lag between application submission to decisi...

So a caveat with this answer is that the number of June Set (LR) applicants (10 applicants) who have posted on this forum is significantly less than July applicants who have done the same (33 applicants). So the data and subsequent interpretation will be skewed. Now, that's out the way, so based on...

The only required documents for Set (LR) are: All passports covering the 10 years (including current), current BRP, Life in the UK test reference number (should be mentioned in the question in the form and proof/evidence of the english language requirement. Consent form need to be downloaded, printe...

Add this to your CV. Did you use any tool?

Thank you! I wish I could add it to my CV! Nope, no tools...just Excel!

Well done for the stats.

Thank you

@Ameline @Ajitu92 Please correct me if my observation is wrong. I believe applicants who went for dual submissions on/after 21st Sep seems not to have worked and MAYBE pushed back in queue as per the date of biometrics submitted in-person? As per UKVCAS: Doing this means that your case may take lon...

Thanks for the insight 👍 Most welcome :D @Ajitu92 Also, doing some more research after our last night’s discussion, I came across a couple cases where SET(LR) decisions were made before they completed 10 years lawful residence and they had problems. Although the official guidance clearly says one c...

Apologies, I'm not tracking Set M applications, only Set LR. Will wait for @Ameline to chip in here. Hi @Ajitu92, it would be great if you can share you insights on set LR. @Ameline’s remark is extremely helpful and I’m a set LR applicant and would love to hear something similar from you @Ajitu92 a...

Thank you very much for your swift response. We will hold off writing to UKVI. Based on what you are seeing, do you have any idea what sort of timescales we might be looking at for ILR SET M ? @Ameline and @Ajitu92 are best placed to answer this. Apologies, I'm not tracking Set M applications, only...

Page 14: Applications being considered 28 days or less before the required qualifying period is completed You can grant an application if it is considered 28 days or less before the applicant completes the required qualifying period, provided they meet all the other rules for long residence. https:...

No such advisory officially, no. And neither have I claimed that to be the case in any of my posts. And I have agreed with you that it IS indeed fine. Thats the point. We have to follow/advise according to the OFFICIAL guidance not what I/you think is right. Also, your hypothetical scenario has no ...

The date of application is the date you pay and submit online. As long you submit IN TIME i.e. when you “qualify”, biometrics date/documents submission date is irrelevant. For SET(LR), if someone applies in time i.e. 10 years minus 28 days from date of initial ENTRY AND uploads and self-submits the...

So the best course of action would be to apply 28 days minus date of initial entry (Set LR) and do your biometrics after you have completed 10 full years Would like to make a correction here. As long SET(LR) submit and pay for an application when they complete 10 years minus 28 days counting from t...

Some more clarification expanding on what @CULLINAN has said. The poster has confused a lot of people indeed. Just because it has worked for one person or s/he has gotten lucky, does not mean that is the best practice. So here is a breakdown of all the milestone dates in addition to what @CULLINAN h...

I have received my BRP decision email today (successful). I want share details of my case, hopefully it give our society here some additional insight: Insight: 1. You can register application with UKVI for ILR (LR) before you qualify for the ILR (LR). As long as you qualify on the day of biometric ...

Oh my bad. Not sure why they keep saying it, if it’s inaccurate

No worries, no harm done. There is no evidence that it is not accurate either, to be honest. The bottleneck could be (and probably is) on UKVI's end rather than UKVCAS.

Hi all,

Seems app submission is moving faster now

This is nothing new. It's the same line UKVCAS have been parroting for a while now.

Don't think they've started processing August applications yet - still doing the rounds for July applicants. Looking at timelines for SET LR so far, looks like around 99 days from date of application, so most likely decision due sometime mid next month. This is about right for Set (LR) at the minut...
