YES... I am having the exact same problem! I got my letter on 21/05/14 and started trying on 22nd to no avail. I have left several messages for a call back and was calling them again this morning, when I think it might have been them calling me, and I missed their call! They must be super busy with ...

I have been trying to call the number on the interview letter for two days now and can't get through. I have left my number for a call back several times as well and haven't been called back.

Does it usually take this long to get through to some one?

Thanks,
R

Thank you! Do they deliver in the evening so it may come tonight? Or do you think they just missed the delivery date.

I will try that premium service and see what I can do as am desperate!

Thank you!

Helloooo! So despite the lady on the phone from the courier's telling me it would be delivered before 5pm today I got home to see it hasn't! Do they usually deliver on the day they tell you? I fly tomorrow at 3pm so need to leave at midday - can I call them first thing and ask them to deliver? Or ev...

No, I work a long way from where it is being delivered. I have sent a picture to the person of my drivers licence and hope that this will be enough?

Oh no.... I haven't left them with any ID.... What am I going to do as I need it today.

Thank you so much Gagan1986! That was perfect and they said it will be delivered by 5pm today - meaning I will have both hopefully and be able to make my flight tomorrow!

Been such a stress as so close to when I fly.

Thanks,
Rachael

Thank you! Do you have a number please???

Dear All,

I have received my passport and am due to fly out tomorrow but my BRP hasn't arrived... does anyone know how long this takes?

I will be in NZ for three weeks so will that be enough time for it to arrive and for it to posted to NZ?

Many thanks,
Rachael

Well the fax number I used and the email in my earlier post have worked! I was rung by my MP today and told that they have granted my ILR and will make it home on my flight on Friday!

It is good to know that if you have genuine reasons they are willing to show compassion!

Thank you will take a look there. Well they have had my passport for 21 weeks now so just wanted to see if they could return it quicker now that my father is unwell.

I will take a look at the contact information for SET(O).

Thank you.

Hi All, I am desperately trying to get my visa and passport back as my father isn't well and have a letter from his Dr. I have emailed the 'SettlementOpspolicy@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk' and have also sent a fax. Does anyone know of any other contact methods so I can ensure the letter gets to my case wo...

I would like to set up a new topic for applications which were submitted in September to see how those of us that applied in September are getting on. Below is my status and timeline so far. I hope as many people as possible will join this topic. Type of application: SET(O) Type of previous residenc...

That friend rang her MP on Monday and was told that her application is nearly complete and that the UKBA sent her a letter yesterday. I am trying to remain optimistic about this and have now emailed the UKBA using an email address that I found on this forum. Thanks and congrats on getting your appli...

Thanks for your reply! My friend posted hers at the start of August and she hasn't even got hers back yet....

So do they not work in date order?

Dear All, I see a lot of posts on here for waiting times from 2011 through till the middle of 2012 but nothing for 2013 and I was wondering if people have started to receive theirs? My details are: 23 Sept 2012 - application Submitted 27 Sept 2012 - acknowledgement letter received 26 Oct 2012 - Biom...

Hi,

I just called the HO after seeing your post (as am in actually in the situation) and they told me that you do need to apply using 11L!

Thank you very much for posting as it ensures that I will apply using the correct information.

Hi All, Section 11G asks for economic activity during your stay in the UK so I am going to present 5 years worth of bank statements. I have online savings accounts as well so do you think that I need to include those? The 5 years worth of bank statements is to show money being paid by my employer. I...

Hi All, I am applying for ILR this weekend (after I have passed my test! :D ) on HSMP. Section 11G asks for economic activity during your stay in the UK so I am going to present 5 years worth of bank statements. I have online savings accounts as well so do you think that I need to include those? The...

Thank you so much! Sorry I am in such a stress over the visa - it was 2006 when I got the Work Permit and 2007 the HSMP. I will put the date of the HSMP at the date entered.

Many thanks again.

Hello can someone please help? I am going to be applying for my ILR shortly and am unsure how to answer 6.1. I initially started out on a work permit (granted 26-Mar-2012) and switched to a HSMP (granted 20-Jul-12). Therefore I am making the application based on my time in the HSMP which has been fi...

Thank you!

I had to be out of the country to apply for my work permit when going from WHM to work permit. So would that mean it would be from the date that my passport was stamped by immigration the first time?

Great thanks - will apply using Tier 1.
