k7501 wrote:So today's post has come and officially they did not keep the promise of having it ready by the end of this week. Afraid that I will have to start counting months. This is painful. Having waited for 3.5 months in 2014, I remeber the feeling very well, it was a torture that I wouldn't wish on anyone. Reading some of your 6+ month stories gives me chills
Edit: wrote to the MP, who invited me for a workshop. As I live in a council where 50+% of population is non-British, I can imagine that the attention will be somewhat spread out and isn't worth it, it's not the legal advice that I am seeking

Hopefully they will get back soon.
I am in same situation as yours with one passport missing, have my PEO in two weeks time, lets all hope for the best.
Thanks.

Great news bro. Congratulations finally the wait is over !gvs wrote:Hi all,
I was following this chat while waiting for resolution on my ILR. I felt the time goes slowly.
But I got a call today that ILR has been granted after 59 days!
So I decided to reassure others, that not all cases take too long.
Applied at Croydon PEO: 24/08/2016
Tier 2 (General)
5 years with the same employer
I thought my case is straight forward, but I got a letter that further checks were required. I think the reason for this was that I applied earlier than my 5 years after entry clearance lapsed. Although it is permitted to apply 28 days in advance, I advise those using premium service not to apply before they are actually eligible.
Good luck!
That's still 59 days longer than what we are promised (kind of).gvs wrote:Hi all,

Hello UK007,UK007 wrote:Hey, My SET (LR) application was deferred @ Croydon PEO on 25/11/2015, due to not having my original passports with me. Passports are with HO as I have a FLR(FP) pending.
I know some people will say, I shouldn't have went to PEO. I took my risk. I had copies of passports, Original LIUK certificate & Original UK degree certificate for Language requirements. But case worker called me & told me she can't take a decision as she doesn't have my original passports. I aksed her how long that might take, she told me she isn't sure about that, depends on how long FLR(FP) department takes to send my passports to Croydon ! £400 wasted for nothing ! Now hope they will atleast process the application asap as the wait is killing me....
jph wrote:Hi,
Anyone here in the forum, whose application was not processed on 13th of October, 2016?
It seems that the excuse/issue is the same ( IT issues) as seen in the numerous posts earlier.
When can I realistically think of hearing anything from them? Any comments? Are we looking at more than 1 week?
Kind regards,
JP
Do you think the delay could be due to the HO trying to get hold of your missing passport to work out your period outside of UK?k7501 wrote:Anyone here tried to contact their MPs? Apparrently they either help a lot (give HO a call and remind them 'who da boss' kind of thing, lol) of they pretend to help (by scheduling an appointment for a "workshop") which is totally useless.

No, they are doing something else, they sure as hell are using other means. It is not on SAR (only the first landing cards applicable to entry clearances are there). It could be airline data, could be other countries data (doubtful, but not impossible), could be anything. The thing in common between all these is that it takes time to gather the informationyungbuk wrote:Do you think the delay could be due to the HO trying to get hold of your missing passport to work out your period outside of UK?
I contacted my local MP on 20th Sep, I was later booked in for 27th Sep.k7501 wrote:Anyone here tried to contact their MPs?

I have a similar background with you. I applied ILR by premium service at Croydon on 23/09/2016. I have 2 passports and 1st one was lost(expired 6 years ago but covered my 1st student visa in UK). I provided the scans of lost passport and all ticket/boarding pass which I kept during 10 years. In the end I was given a further enquiries letter and now I am waiting for almost 4 weeks.k7501 wrote:No, they are doing something else, they sure as hell are using other means.
