Congratulations joh118.

I posted mine on the 2nd of Feb & now desperately waiting for the good news.

@zeeshanpervez: No criminal record in your case. No need to mention in your application for ILR.

@sherkhan297: same as above

Was your passport stamped by immigration at tokyo upon arrival & departure??? - if Yes, then you do not need to worry as that immigration stamp can be used as evidence of travel. (see my previous comment) - If Not then i would suggest you seek some pro advice because you need to mention that tim...

yea i agree with you lavkir.

@Hanae: Do not worry mate, you will be fine. Set(O) application form clearly says that you have to provide photocopies of all the pages in your passport that contains a stamp (no specific stamp mentioned). They want photocopies of all the stamps nomatter where you get them from. So as long as you ha...

Hi, you can call them and explain your situation.

Hello mate, yea they are allowed to look for your landing card in the warehouse. Set(O)Guidance notes explains it all.

Hi, i didnt knew they give money aswell. Nice touch UKBA lol

On a serious note, they must have over charged you for your application. Call them up if you are not sure.

@push: thanks very much for that thread.

Hello everybody, I have not recieved an acknoledgement letter from UKBA for my ILR application so i phoned them up and the lady on the other end confirmed that UKBA has recieved my application and the money has also been debited from my account so i shouldn't be worried really as no biometrics are r...

should'nt be a problem if you do not have a criminal record with police. If unsure, get it checked with police before applying for ILR.

My acknowledgement letter has not arrived yet, should i be worried???

Brother Imran, I am applying under the same category as yourself that is 10years Long residence Form type Set(O). I have read chp 13 of the immigration directorate instructions and it is not mentioned anywhere in IDI13 that you definately need to complete 10yrs exact before you can apply for ILR plu...

Hi all,

marra, if your partner is applying under 14 years then according to set(o) bills & bank statements etc will be required to cover any period spent without visa. Keep an eye on your solicitor & call the home office to get this confusion clarified. Hope this helps. Good luck

Thanks for pointing that out sunmoon. I agree with you 100%, defo misleading info there.

Thanks josh, you say...Would i rather wait 10-15 weeks or 6-12 months? I would rather they speed things up abit more for straight forward applications. Soo many people with straight forward cases could have taken advantage of the premium service but now they can not do that because people with all s...

On another forum on this website someone had their passport returned yesterday within 4weeks which i think is normal time for straight forward cases coz straight forward student visa cases normally takes 4 weeks whereas UKBA service standard is 14 weeks. UKBA can take 6months according to their serv...

Hi all, Who's had the quickest passport return under 10 rule (ILR)??? Does anyone know!!! 10-15 weeks avg is still too long.


Thanks
