Re: **** COVID19 and UKVCAS Appointments **** (ONLY discuss here)

Re: Is my wife's ILR approved!?

Application submission date is the day you submit the application and pay the ILR fees. Your application date was therefore 31 Dec and not 28 Jan. Still an excellent turn-around time. If you had submitted 5 mins late, you may have become the first applicant to receive ILR having applied in 2021 :lol:

You should be able to travel back to the UK without issues. However, you need to check with your HR as they would've raised a Defined COS. You will need an 'undefined COS' if applying within the UK Read the section "Defined and undefined CoS" under: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk...
