well,another friend of mine received a letter from HO told her the decision has been made on her ILR with all supporting documents today (except her passport),so I assume she got it finally,apparently that's the standard procedure. Also seems like ppl applied with 10 yrs student visa took longer tim...

Anyone got news on their 10yr residence ILR application recently???tks

also 10 yrs as student, could someone put me in the list pls :-) I agree, ppl with work permits in their 10yrs residency seem to be getting quicker decisions,3 of my friends got their application submitted in Jan 2010 all got ILR granted by early-April, all of them got 7-8yrs student visa+some yrs o...

Congratulations,u got it,don't worry about it,

Hello there,

Just curious whether is there anyone granted ILR despite there were gaps in the 10 yrs residency period?

From SAR file I can see I have a gap due to rejected application back in 2005 (on the ground that fee payment failed to go through credit card)

slightly worried now!!!

That really depends on how confident he/his family is with current immigration rules to argue his case in writing,
since his case is slightly complicated,could be a good idea give it to a lawyer to deal with. Just to buy some assurance,
Best of luck thou!!!

Beige, tks!!! just a quick shout out, from my friends experience, they all had straight forward application,i.e. no gap/ <absence allowance etc. so I guess if any of you got straight forward cases then should expect a relatively faster decision this year. (if you submitted post-Jan 2010) in my case,...

Hi Everyone, I'm new here, though I frequently visit other popular forums, 3 of my friend submitted their 10 yr ILR in January 10, recently got ILR granted/passport bk.seems like HO really speed up this time.... Lets hope we can get ours bk soon as well!!! ILR 10 year acknowledged on 9th Feb 2010 St...
