Did anything arrive at your door, NewtownDesi??? (Anxiously waiting for your good news :) ) Can anyone tell me what is the name of the delivery company which delivers all the document? :roll: I think approval letter comes in normal 2nd class royal mail post. BRP and, passport & other documents c...

That's because UKBA believes in love more than they do in work ethics? :p Just kidding. Maybe they regard marriage lower risk motivation, and have a policy to process them quick. BTW, some M case takes ages, so no need for "beefing"! Wow! So no news from June SET O applicants yet? Maybe I'...

Congrats! I take it you are SET (M)? I applied 2 weeks after with SET (O), would be nice to have this done this year :) Enjoy the sun filled holiday! Hi guyz my final post my BRP was delivered last night @ 19:00, the postman knocked at the door as i was not expecting any delivery at that time i thou...

See this: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/newsarticles/2012/august/13-genuine-website I think you should report it as you've written here. Your details also go through a payment processing centre (basically a bank). Did you enrol your biometrics yet? If so where? Hi! I am not certain ...

Hi people! This is slightly off topic, but does any of you experience an increase in receiving spam SMS after you made ILR application? I have been getting quite few, and some even have my birth name in subject line, which I NEVER use other than official documents such as visa application! My suspic...

I got my Bio invite!! Phew, such a huge relief, now I know my application was NOT forgotten in a pile somewhere but is being processed! My application is SET (O) Work Permit 5 years Application made via legal adviser. Application sent off on 1/8/2012 Application received 3/8/2012 Acknowledgement Let...

Thanks for your replies, Justiceseeker, NewtownDesi, I thought it was a bit strange that I wasn't asked for this... Wonder if this is THE reason for my slow progress?? and no acknowledgement letter!! I cannot call HO at the moment as my adviser is trying to get on the case for me, but I certainly su...

To all the people who have applied with 5 yr work permit basis before October 2012, Did you send your work permit with your postal app? I was not told to include this by my legal adviser, but my friend who applied in person in October was. My bio invite is taking too long and I began wondering that ...

Congrats!! You were waiting for ages, now you are freeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! (from the waiting game.) Glory be to God in heaven. My ILR has just been approved. I applied on the 2nd of May 2012 Signed for and received by the home office on the 3rd of may 2012 Biometrics done on the 21st of July 2012 Approv...

Congratulation! Thank you for sharing your experience here, and may I say you are absolutely right, There are so many people waiting for AGES to get this done, and people start complaining after a couple of months is ridiculous! now you are free to resume your life! Enjoy!! Dear All, Today I receive...

I am struggling to understand why people on this forum are complaining about how long their applications takes when they haven’t waited six months. If you want your application to take less than six months to process then you should have used the premium service. I know, totally agree with you. I p...

My application is SET (O) Work Permit 5 years Application made via legal adviser. Application sent off on 1/8/2012 Application received 3/8/2012 Acknowledgement Letter - NOT received (not by me nor adviser) Payment taken from CC 21 or 22/8/2012 Biometrics Invitation 9/11/2012 (dated 06/11/2012) Biom...

I don't know too much on that with regards to ILR, but when my friends were applying for student visa they all said "biometrics = approved". It seems possible you'd still be refused after bio, but unlikely? That is definitely good news! I applied 1 week after you, so fingers cross my lette...

I've sent mine a day earlier than you, so maybe mine's round the corner, too :) :) :) Thanks for sharing your story x Either it is good news day for everyone today or UKBA in good mood to make us happy….anyway got my biometrics letter today after almost 11 weeks. My timeline Current visa: TIER 1 GEN...

OMG, so happy for you!! OH.......... MY....................... GOD !!!!!!! Postman just delivered our docs back. ILR Approved! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D Letter created at UKBA 18/10/12. We paid 1st class return delivery, just waiting for DX now. All the best to all who are waiting. My heart g...

I applied 5 days after you, and not expecting biometrics invitation for another month at least. Ppl applied in July began getting invitations, but not all, and some from June not done, I wouldn't hold breath if I were you. Good luck! Is anyone got a Biometric Invitation letter for SET(O) during July...

Congrats!! Have a holiday, you need it! (before the baby, I mean!) Finally I can confirm that we've had our passports back and the confirmation letter that my wife's ILR has been approved after applying on the 26th June and biometrics taken 18th August. It's certainly a nice relief and weight off ou...

I have had a letter from the Uk Border agency this morning..... My Husbands visa has been approved he now has indefinite leave to remain. 16 weeks in total. 8 weeks for biometrics and then 8 weeks now for his card. We had a missed delivery yesterday as noted previously from Dx which is arranged for...

Hi! My adviser said they haven't received it, though I have a sneaking suspicion that they've lost it. I don't really care, as personally not needing it, and money has been taken, plus have Royal Mail delivery confirmation. My payment was taken like 18 days after application was sent (1/8/12.) As fo...

My payment was taken like 18 days after application was sent (1/8/12.) As for acknowledgement letter, I have not received it yet, though my legal adviser may have lost it. My feeling is that letters are not always received? What are the current average timelines for payments being processed and ackn...

I said the same things when I first applied for my university course in UK. Back then local student not only paid nothing to attend uni, but also they had grants so they can go shopping or take drugs with it (well students around me did.) When I complained and argued about extortionate tuition fees ...

I cannot agree with you more. I have applied postally knowing I need to wait more or less for 6 months, and it is said clearly so everywhere I looked that waiting is more or less for 6 months. Really don't understand some folks here applied at the same time or just before me (August) are panicking a...
