I called Home Office a couple of days back and they mentioned that the package is dispatched. Any idea how long it takes to receive the docs once they have been dispatched?

Congratulations, that's brilliant. Can you confirm whether you had to expedite your application via MP or any other means? Or did you get your application decided normally?

That's wonderful news Set0 and Wheresmyilr.

I have also applied on 21st Dec 2012 as Tier1 (2+3) holder. Hopefully, my application is also being processed and will arrive shortly.

Can anyone else confirm they have received their ILR?

By the grace of Allah I have received my ILR a week shorter than 6 months. Application sent: 28 Dec 2012 Biometric done : 26 Jan 2013 ILR approval : 21 June 2013 BRP issued : 24 June 2013 Good luck to those waiting specially who applied in 2012. You will get yours soon. Thanks for the update aamira...

Thanks everyone for their updates. Anyone is aware of a way to expedite the applications that are under consideration for more than 6 months? I heard that we can approach our local MP. Does anyone know of the actual process?

@jeeboo1046, Sure I'll keep the forum updated.

Is there anyone who has applied for 5 yr ILR (Tier1/HSMP/WP) during December 2012 and got their ILR recently?

Thanks for the updates. I'm still waiting for mine and it's now 6 months plus 2 days and I'm getting concerned. The immigration bureau are also not answering their phone. Anyway we can know the status of an application?

That's good to know. Anyone else has received their ILR so far? It's 6 months now and I'm quite concerned. I have applied in 3rd week of December, still waiting. 2 people I know have recently received ILR, both waited around 7 months and that seems to be the average waiting time right now. December ...

Is there anyone who has applied in December using SET(O) or SET(M) and whose ILR application is successful?? I don't see any post on this topic since long and I'm getting a bit edgy as it's almost 5 months since I applied.

Thanks for your comments. The wisdom of checking with a call centre person is you would expect them to know the process and if they are not qualified, they shouldn't be there in the first place. Moreover, I need to make a 250 mile roundtrip for my PEO appointment and wanted to make sure it's not in ...

Hello aa, My case is pretty straight forward but the only contentious issue is around the continous stay of 5 years, which I why I have come to this forum :). Please find below my visa details: Tier 1 - Valid till 14th Jan 2013 Enty Clearance granted on 14th Jan 2008 Entered UK on 17th March 2008 Ti...

On what visa did you enter the UK??

If it's Tier 1, you will be eligible and the below document explains the criteria in more detail.
