Waiting for BRP Card

I want to encourage those who are still waiting to keep the faith and believe that your testimony will happen soon.

I have been offered another job and I’ll be starting soon.

Thank you all for this forum especially the tracker spreadsheet () which kept me sane and hopeful.

I would be grateful if someone can please update the tracker spreadsheet with my information as I do not want to mess with it.



Thank you,

Dear friends please help me on this issue
I will complete my 10 years on 6 march 2015 and currently my passport is with Home Office on Tier 4 application. Since I do not have any other photo ID I cant sit for Life in the UK test. Therefore i have decided to apply for Long residence extension FLR (LR). Please let me know whether I would be ok to apply now (which is 28 days before 6 March) or I should wait till 6 March.

Thanks in advance

If your tier 4 application is not yet decided u can VARY your tier 4 application to FLR lr any time from now.

Just send them new flr lr form with full fees and photos and with a covering letter that u r eligible for long residency visa (10 years basis ) but as i dont have LIUK so i am applying FLR LR visa. kindly vary my tier 4 application to FLR LR application. Kindly refund my tier 4 application fees as well. as I am paying your full fees of FLR LR.

HO No: 0300 123 2241 option 3 ... and ask them you got your approval but did received your docments.. did you applied your ILR straight or you had any pending appeal or application pending with HO?

[getgreen]

Hi Guys,

Now I am freaking a bit as my time has come. Hoping to receive my decision by mid next week. I applied on 08th Nov. However, I rung home office this morning and they said that my case has not been allocated to a team yet, which sounds a bit strange because couple of people applied after I did have already received their decisions and mine is non even considered yet....does it mean my case is complicated????? Does home office only get update on Monday, which means they cannot tell until next Monday if my case has been considered or completed ... hence so many approvals on every Tuesday and Wednesday??? Please comment

[Saman.NJ]

[junaid1621]

Yes I had a pending application with home office then my 10 year complete and I applied for ILR

Possible reason your passport and documents is in the department where you sent your initial application... you may have to write a letter to HO requesting your documents will be send back to you as your application is completed

[junaid1621]

Hi
As you read my post that I have received approval for my ILR but did not receive any document back . What u suggest to me , wait for my BRP card then call home office to send my document back or anything else . Your help really appreciated thanks
Junaid

[Capricon123]

@Junaid : Many congrats for the approval. Plz tell me about ur pending appeal. Did you withdraw ur appeal before submitting new application ? There is a possibility u'll get ur documents with ur BRP. Otherwise u've to ring HO on 0300 1232241. Plz share ur valuable experience and outcome with the fellow members.
