I called HO today and was told that my case still awaiting consideration due to the administrative delays. I was wondering if anybody knows how long it usually takes to decide this type of the application and if there are any ways to speed up the process. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
-: it appears that at this point in time you do not qualify. You mention that the application for ILR was made on 1st July 2004 and that is less than 15 months ago. However you have not got to be a mathematical expert to work out that from say 2nd October 2005 all the parts of 7.4(g) appear to be met ... that is .... the application for ILR was made "more than 15 months before the citizenship application" and also consideration of the application "had been protracted through no fault of the applicant" and also "ILR was eventually granted".consideration of an application for indefinite leave to remain, made more than 15 months before the citizenship application, had been protracted through no fault of the applicant, providing ILR was eventually granted
Are you now saying that you did not get your passport back at that time? If not, in what form did they tell you that you had got your ILR? Normally you would get your passport back and in it would be a nice new shiny sticker!I got my ILR this morning.
Not sure that you including her as a dependent constitutes a violation of immigration laws?My wife arrived in to the UK in 1996 and since then was constinuosly on student visas wthout any violation of immigration laws until I included her as a dependant into my application.
In which case she has not breached any immigration law! That is, she is not an overstayer!Enquirer wrote:What I meant was that she was continuously on student visas even at the time when I included her in my application. It was 3 months till expiry of her latest visa at that time.
