Hi Guys :) I just got my passport delivered half an hour ago with my new ILR stamp. I can't tell you how pleased I was to see my passport again. I am rather surprised that my timeline is rather shorter than others on here. I have no clue why? Here's wishing all those who're waiting my best and I sin...
ah_kassem can you please re-calculate waiting times for the pending applications, I think they're not entirely accurate...mine should be 7.5 weeks not 8...and similarly people who posted a day or two around 9th Aug will be 7.5 weeks too....I didn't get a chance to check subsequent ones. Congrats to ...
Adam, You have absolutely no cause for concern in my opinion. Both the drafts for you and your partner were made payable to "The Home Office". If I had done the same as you on my bankers draft, I wouldn't let the issue of whether they've been encashed or not bother me at all, honestly! Plu...
Hello, I have good news to report back. In summary, I just received confirmation from UKBA that my Bankers draft was cleared for payment on the same date as my acknowledgement letter was raised on 12th Aug. The application has then been sent to Liverpool to one of the settlement teams for considerat...
Edited in retrospect on 12th Sept 2011, 3:55 pm Hello, I have good news to report back. In summary, I just received confirmation from UKBA that my Bankers draft was cleared for payment on the same date as my acknowledgement letter was raised on 12th Aug. The application has then been sent to Liverpo...
Hi both adamboston/Hunter007 Have you both received an acknowledgement letter yet, the letter is generated only after the payment has been taken. Yes I did receive an acknowldg letter, infact I received two of them exactly identical ones which i must admit I thought was a bit strange, they arrived ...
A draft is more or less used for a service where you may as well use cash ( but cannot send by post) and acceptance is guaranteed. yeah sure thing gidoc i agree about using a draft instaed of cash coz acceptance is guaranteed and that was exactly why I opted to use it and I would've happily not nee...
Hi fandango, I came across a post of yours above in this thread where you were inquiring whether paying by Banker's Draft at a PEO would clear it the same day or would be like a cheque. My query is however about the wording of who you got it made out to - Based on your post you said you had it made ...
Dont know Hunter what to suggest, it could be the case that I am the one who's made a mistake. I dont know what difference it would make if it's Home Office only or Home Office Leave to Remain. Yeah Adam, drop me an update after you come back from the bank, although I think you followed instruction...
Excuse the double posting...
But as an experienced Mod Sushdmehta i'd be very grateful if you can tell me what you think & perhaps what I could possibly do at this stage?
Thanks!
Hello, I just came across someone else's post making me realise I may have made a serious blunder. I applied ILR 10yrs on Set(O) on 9th Aug...payment made by Banker's Draft made out to "Home Office Leave to Remain" the same as for Postal orders & cheques, completely overlooking that it...
This has got me worried now...coz I paid by Banker's Draft and instead of "Home Office"...I got it made out to "Home Office Leave to Remain" I got the acknowledgement letter too...been waiting now 4.5 weeks...it would be disastrous if they send the application back due to payment...

Hi can you please let us know if you have recieved your ILR as there is no new updat...
But due to some problem my payments were not taken till 4th July 2011, HO informed me that count your time line from 4th July when your payments were taken. Congratulations Niaz, Can you please tell us what your method of payment was and what was the problem, was it from your side or theirs? The on...
Good Luck Adam, hope it happens soon for you and your partner :) . I'll be beginning my 5th week coming Tuesday 6th Sept, so still some way to go... As far as HO using a third party causing a 2 week gap between passport stamped and receipt is concerned, its a reasonable assumption...however it still...
Looks like 3 months lead time from posting application to receiving passport back now...I wonder what happened to the 8 weeks lead time evident from entries here in early summer?? Are there many people waiting here who are just hitting or fall in the 8-10 weeks mark? And perhaps you could also indic...

Hi All, I'm applying for ILR 10yrs next week 10th Aug by Royal Mail Special Next Day Delivery. My UK Visa history is Student Visa (6yrs) + WP (3yrs) + Tier4 Student presently (1yr & counting). I had a question about what all supporting documents I should include along with the application form. ...
Hi All, I'm applying for ILR under the 10yrs rule next Tuesday 9th Aug. I'll be posting the application by Royal Mail Special Next Day Delivery. What will the start date of the Application be if I pay the fees by cheque...is it the day UKBA receive the documents or is it the day the cheque clears wh...
Hi Everyone, I thought this link would be helpful for people on this forum who've been wondering why UKBA stopped the Premium One Day Service for ILR based on Long Residence 10 yrs rule and whether UKBA will ever re-instate it? Its a comprehensive reply directly from UKBA as a result of a FOI reques...
Hello everyone, I was just wondering...if someone were to qualify under the Long Residence 10 year rule after July 2011, will they still be eligible for ILR or do they get caught by the new Earned/Probationary Citizenship system that may be introduced in 2011. If this is true then can someone outlin...
No it won't, there is no evidence it will...The 1,300 temporary cut in skilled worker visas equals about 1.5% of the work-related settlements...i.e. the cap is on some areas of Tier 1 & all Tier 2 applications...The Long Residence 10 years rule is something completely different where a person ha...
