Hi There
Would some one be able to assist me with the matter further ?
As per my previous mail, I have decided to write a letter to UKBA. Any Ideas ?
Dear UK Border Agency,
On Aug 12th, 2014 I applied for ILR using Premium service at PEO Croydon after completing a continuous period of five years in the UK under Tier 1 (General) category. This application [] was for myself and 1 dependent & whooping amount of GBP 2,990 was paid with expectation of expedited service.
My concern is that on the day I was never given opportunity to meet the actual case worker as I expected but the documents were submitted and asked to wait before being handed over one letter that "Application is valid but Further Enquiry is required"
After checking with the gentleman who handed the letter, I got a very strange reply that there is no time-scale for it. I am sorry but I have paid a lot more than the postal application just to get a reply on the day.
I have got a very reputable job in a Bank and my promotion is due next month. We also made a mortgage application which was successful but just needed the visa to complete. Hence, the reason I applied on the day and paid more because I am stuck with few important things at the moment which were directly linked to my visa application.
I appreciate that PEO is only for straight forward application. I had a caution in 2010 which I clearly mentioned on my application form, to my solicitor and to my local MP () as well. As per rule it is not in the last 24 months. I also enclosed a letter of support from my Local MP in my visa application file stating all the facts.
This is totally agonising process as first of all I never had an opportunity to discuss the case and now waiting forever after paying such an amount for expedited service.
Please understand our situation as after spending 5 productive years of our lives and being responsible residents, we are not over expecting by requesting expedite service.
Kindly look into this as my daughter is going to begin school and we are bit nervous onto deepening our roots in this marvellous country.
Many Thanks
