Hi Guys, I received a letter from the home office yesterday. The packet also contained all my supporting documents except the passports. The letter says that my application has been approved and the passports will be sent soon. I am finding this a bit strange, never heard of anyone else who received...

I just spent some time going through last 5-6 pages of this thread and made a note of timescales for ILR based on WP and HSMP. All the applications were made during the end of 2009 or in 2010 itself. The time scales are - Romanion HSMP - 7 months Fatcat HSMP - 7 weeks Khankhattacks friend - 9 weeks ...

Chadha, I can understand. From my searches on the internet it looks like your file could have probably been forwarded by the Initial Consideration Unit to the Case Management Unit which is done when further thought/investigation is required. I think you must seek some advice from an expert about the...

Chadha, were any of your absences work related? If yes then did you include letter/s from your employer confirming the same. If no, then did you try to explain the ecess absences? Barua, who got his ILR last week, also had absences in excess of the recommended upper limt but because he included a le...

@Apagun - i understand your frustration. I would suggest that you give it another few weeks and then try and get your MP involved. There is not much point in ringing UKBA because they just read out the standard answers and put you in even more confusion.

Chadha, was your application complex in any way - in terms of absences, motoring offences such as speeding etc, benefits ! If not then I'd say that you give it another week and then get your MP involved. Lets hope you get your approval in the next week or so, I know its so frustrating. Even my appli...

Apagun, under what category did you apply? Perhaps the reason for your application to be sent back to Liverpool (Borth West) could be that it was sent to London only for some specific enquiries and that final decision is still to be made in Liverpool which is where you originally applied in person. ...

yes I did get an exit stamp when I departed from New Delhi. Do yu think they will accept that as proof? Moreover I did send them the P60 for that year, and also a letter from my previous employer confirming that I worked for them from such to such date. Unfortunately I did not have any salary slips ...

My passport is missing one UK entry stamp for some reason. I have been out of the UK quite a few times and my passport was always stamped on en...

@Barua - The person I know was in a very similar position to yourself and he got it. Hope everyting comes out fine with you also.

I have a question to ask if anyone could help - My passport is missing one entry stamp, is that going to be a problem?

@Barua - Good luck to you! I think it will be fine because I have a friend who had even more days away from the UK and he still got his ILR.

Were any of your absences due to work?

Keep us updated.

I submitted mine on 5 year WP basis on 25th jan 2010, still waiting to hear from UKBA.

From what I have seearched so far on the internet, there seems to be quite a big varition in the waiting times for ILR based on 5 years work permit. I can see that it can vary between 3 weeks at its best to more than 6-7 months or even more. I am wondering if this variation is due to differing compl...
