Applied 16th Sep
My ILR was stamped on 7th Dec.
Received 14th Dec

Guys,
If its straight fwd application WP+ Tier-1 then it looks like 12-13 weeks. My case was little complex but end of 13 weeks I got it. If 14th weeks just wait you will get it very soon.

Cheers.

Hi,
Did you have any absence in 5 years. If yes then how many days/months ?

Cheers

do u tink well hear from them before jan, i got a wedding. is there any point calling them? p.s if i wanted to request my passport back as i am the british national, would that delay the progress of the appli1cation? Hi, If its your wedding or close relatives, thats a very good reason to request fo...

Congrat HAHA Anyone else receive their ILR in the last week? Does anyone know why the HO is taking so long? Does anyone know of some backlogs? The waiting is does get stressful :cry: Backlogs, I doubt, the number of people waiting in this forum are too low and not many say i got it. There should be...

Here is my Update: Applied ILR on Post - WP + Tier 1 basis with 3 dependants Date of appliction - 26th August 09 Date of payment deducted and Acknowledgement - 28th August 09 ILR st...

Guys,
Who ever has applied based on 5 years i.e. WP or WP + Tier-1, pls mention their waiting time. Looks HSMP JR processing is quick.

450 days ? Ok may be you can help me out. I was outside UK for about 330 days but I was still working for UK company as contractor and due to business requirements I worked from there. UK company will provide a letter stating the business reason, their contact and the period of absence. Note I didn...

Hi, I do not think you can apply for ILR at this point as you have been out of the UK for more than 450 days - as you have realised. However, there is an exception to the required residency period if you have been outside the UK for over 450 days. To my knowledge the exception is if you can show si...

Hooray, Atlast I got the visa approved, will post the full details tomorrow.
Applied 1 July.

Ok indianUK, mail me at thambi.tier1@googlemail.com with your present company and contact details. It will be confidential. Thanks Thambi....i am a bit relieved now...Was your case same as mine?? If yes, can we talk on phone please....it will be a great help... Yes, Net allowance pay acceptable as y...

Yes, Net allowance pay acceptable as your allowance slips show both Gross and Net same amount. And hence your Bank statement. Thanks for replying back friends... i can show Indian gross as the salary slip that i get in India has got the all three things - Gross / taxation details & Net pay. But ...

Gross pay is not a problem if your 12 month docs are original and with net pay you are eligible for points. My case is almost same as one of the guys already got the Tier1 done few days back,...But still can some one please give me some more clarification: I get two salaries for the time I’m in UK...

Guys my experience was different 1. HO mailed back in 3 days, saying it takes 10 weeks normally but if it is more than 10 weeks it doesn't mean there is a problem with the application 2. Got HO in phone in 30 seconds and they said a letter has been sent home for more info and it was true I got lette...

My understanding is below, pls correct if wrong or risky It was 180 days for 4 yrs and hence it must be 45 days per year. That calculation extended makes it 225 for 5 yrs. But I think less than 60 to 90 days in any year is acceptable (accounting to 225 for 5 yrs) but its better you don't do it in th...

Today first time I tried calling the HO, luckily I got thru in 30 seconds (option-1/1). A nice lady picked and asked when I applied and then my Ref No, DateOfBirth, Full name and said they have sent a letter yesterday stating I need to send the recent photo's for my dependants. I asked for the statu...

Update is Still waiting - Applied > 1st of July.

It would be great if applicant mention whether the application is for individual or submitted along with spouse and kids. I am not sure if thats an additional complexity in you application as that might require additional checks.

Congrats have fun&party, looks straight fwd case stack is being cleared fast and I am behind like grant now. Even though applied on July 1st, my case is not straight fwd, Indian salary(Tax returns) + UK allowance and applied on July 1st, does anyone know if there could be delay for Indian salary...

If your case is straight forward then I would assume its positive sign. Is it a complicated case ? Hello Guys, I am little bit concerned now as i have completed 12Weeks this weekend ( 11, If we calculate the time from the payment deduction Date as i paid by Chq ). Is it normal, why its taking sooo l...

I don't know why you didn't calculate this before applying for Tier-1. I don't think your case is valid as HO is very stirct with 5 yrs criteria, its not application date. Anyway mail HO, you have enough time to get the details & ask then if they would consider the initial WP validity date which...

To my knowledge any new/lastest Visa will override the previous/existing one. Why do you want ur employer to extend when you have 3 yrs visa to work any where in UK hence includes ur employer. Others any pls comment, looks he might be get into trouble. I had submitted a tier-1 and got it approved ye...

Applied on 1 July, my application is with CW from last week. No UT. i managed to talk to HO regarding my application(WP->Tier1) submitted on 7th July...the guy took my refrence number and told that it is passed on to the CW and is under consideration!!! hello did u sent an urgent request because i s...

Congrats, Which consultant? Did you have any specific reason you required their assitance/consultancy? Is your case a complex one, if yes let us know. Finally its good news from me :lol: ..Got the visa stamped till 2011. I had applied through a consultant on 16th Jun ( WP to Tier1 ),tier1 approved o...
