Most of the posts are for SET(M) and Tier 1. Could someone applying with tier 2 post as well please? Thanks!
I just freaked out yesterday because I received my passport and BRP yesterday, I thought my application for ILR has been refused, so they sent me back these two.
My timeline for my ILR application s as follows:
submission of documents (Tier 2, Set O): Jan 29, 2015
received by UKVI: Jan 30, 2015
received acknowledgement letter: Feb 06, 2015 (dated Feb 2)
fee taken from my account: Feb 03, 2015
email from caseworker about my reference number: Feb 09, 2015
Biometric letter received: FEB 11, 2015 (dated Feb 6)
Biometric enrolment done: Feb 11, 2015
Passport and BRP returned: Feb 14, 2015 (with a letter dated Feb 12)
Decision: WAITING
This is a fairly new part of the process (only for Tier 2) where passport and BRP are sent back to the applicant within 10 days (of being put in the system) while awaiting decision. The decision making time will still be within six months. I have been reading posts on this forum, but I haven't found one similar to mine. I wasn't expecting my proof of identification to be back without a decision letter.

Iam told by reliable sources that for Set(O) application evaluation, HO is checking rigorously the genuineness of employment if you were employed or the company if you were self employed. This is being cross checked with NI, HMRC and other agencies for cross verification.This is for avoiding any abuse of the highly skilled category visas previously issued.This also is because of the upcoming elections and the current government does not want to do the opposition any favors by creating any flaws knowingly for long time settlements. If you had provided all legitimate documents it is just a matter of time for the completion of this process. If you have previously and now provided all genuine information there is absolutely nothing to fear or worry about. Atleast by God's grace you have got some communication and commitment from UK HO which is nice.

Since we applied before the changes do we get an appeal right or not? Is it for those who apply after April the 6th?

Devp, thx for update..pls see PM. Thx
I submitted my application via my solicitor, I gave her my originals but i do not think you have to send the photocopies but i think it won t do any harm if you do so, especially that it might save them some time in case they photocopy them...prince_no1 wrote:Just a quick question guys , it may have been answered but i could'nt find it so far.
is it compulsory to send photocopies of the documents with application? or is it adviseable ?
members who have already sent the applications, did you send the photocopies of the documents?
Thanks.
Hello ThanmirthJohn McOuba wrote:Hello Everybody,
hope you are all doing well despite the waiting times being too long.
well; i have recently submitted my application for the IRL SET (M); submitted 5th March 2015 using standard postal option (regretted later as I should have gone with the fastest option); i know it is a bit too early to post but based on the so many posts i read on here the waiting time is between 4 to 6 months, and 3 months the earliest with over 6 months the latest. did anybody here heard of anyone who got their application quickly processed (less than 3 months with the standard postal)? I heard that the 2 years path can be processed quicker than the 5 years and 10 years just because the 2 years have less documentations to be checked, is that true?
once again; i hope you are all fine and hope your applications will be completed positively soon....
Thanmirth
IRL SET (M) via standard postal
Application submitted: 5th March
I got nothing and heard nothing... so just got on the "long waiting" train heading to tranquility
