I use option 2, only one I've been able to speak to anyone? The other options usually just play a message and cut you off! It really is hit and miss though, some who answer just quote the SLA script at you and others will try and help. I guess we're really lucky as came home today to all our docs a...

So, after a 23 minute wait on hold this morning UKBA confirmed a 'package' was sent to me on 24 August 2012. Wouldn't confirm what the package was - wait and see, she said - but I'm praying it is my passport at the very least and hoping it may be both our documents and a decision! Fingers crossed I...

She gave me a RM tracking number and as yet the item has not yet been delivered. So although it may be good news, it too could be bad news. ...

Hi I posted a similar thread. My husband also applied in May via the checking service. He did his biometrics last month, so it's with the HO now...I emailed the checking service today and they said processing times are an average of 4 months.....someone on here said they applied for ILR in May too, ...

ILR by post, processing time 15 weeks. Hi, I'm a new member and I wanted to share my experience with anyone who is in the process of applying for ILR or for those waiting for an answer. Before I put in my application, I have regularly visited this board and it has greatly assisted me, so thank you ...

Is anyone able to advise???
