Because you switched your application and paid the seperate fee, it means you would be required to enrol fresh biometrics and the standard time-line will apply for consideration of your SET(LR) application or SET(O) from the day you switched. So if everything is in order then you should hear back from them within 2-3 months however delays are expected.sarahkhan175 wrote:walkingintherain wrote:
Hello friends,
Just a quick overview of my situation.
Applied for ILR (10 yrs route) at Sheffield premium service three weeks ago. A letter was handed over to me stating that the application is valid but further checks will be carried out to get a decision & retrieve my passport from another department.
I had already applied for Tier 1 Enterpreneur Extension about 8 months ago and the decision on that application was still pending at the time of application for ILR.
A week after the ILR application, they withdrew my Tier 1 Extension application, refunded my IHS surcharges, and sent me all the related documents with a letter stating that hence I apllied for ILR, this T1 application is no more relevant for consideration & that they have forwarded my passport to the ILR department.
Just wanted to know how long it will take to get a decision & that will there be any checks related to my T1 application?

I went to Glagow PEO today with my friend for his ILR visa through Tier 1 General. After around 3 hours the case worker said that i am unable yo find your record with hmrc for your last visa extention years, he provided her last 5 years SA302 then she said they are not matching with your earning claims. Then he told her that i was a company director and you need to check my company records and he showed her company tax returns snd proof of tax paid through his bank statements but she was not satisfied and she hold the case for furthe checks.
Can any one please explain from where he can get that record of his company's income and paid tax as company is no more active and from where the home office will check all these records ? He never amended any tax return in previous six years ?
Regards
Hi, The time taken by the caseworkers to come back when the premium application is deferred varies from case to case. For instance i have waited for now 11 months. although not for the same reason as yours. So be patient. If you believe that every thing in your file is in order then there is nothing to worry.ilrguide2 wrote:Hi Moderators,
I had a same day service appointment today with homeoffice. I am currently on tier 2 general visa.
After doing some checks the case worker called me and asked me if i have claimed any benefits as their system is flashing a benefit claim in my name.
I informed her that i have never ever claimed any benefit, she said she need to speak with her senior and will come back to me. After some time she again called me and informed that they need to verify this with DWP and cannot give me a decision today itself and handed out the further checks required letter to me.
I called DWP and they confirmed to me that i have never claimed any benefit, they will be sending me a letter confirming about this. I can then send this letter to home office and alternatively they will also check with DWP.
Please can the moderators help me in this and let me know what is the average timescale for case workers to come back to you when the application is deferred for further checks.
Also is there any other way to chase the home office and get this sorted out as early as possible? as DWP have confirmed about me not claiming any benefit.
Hi the visa was applied on Tier 2 general in July 2016. No reason is given why it is on hold.ilrguide2 wrote:Hi Londoner,
Thank you for your reply, can you share with me why your application is on hold as 11 months is a vert long period. What was your visa category when you applied for your ILR?
Congratulations! Really happy it all worked out in the end, after such a long wait.Londoner001 wrote:Hello Every one,
My ILR is now been approved by the grace of God and have received all the documents today. I'm thankful to each one of you for keeping positive spirits all through this rough period and I'm really hoping that all your applications will be approved very soon.
This forum is really helpful and once again thanks to everyone!
Here you go with my story!
1) An application was submitted - Premium Appointment in July 2016 at PSC Croydon and got a letter from case worker saying that it requires further checks.
2) Additional documents requested in SEP 2016 ( ADDITIONAL PAYSLIPS AND BANK STATEMENTS)
3) 2nd-week of April 2017 - UKVI compliance check - An officer visited, interviewed all the employees
4) Additional documents once again requested on 01 May 2016 ( Full One year Pay slips Bank Statements, P60 and Employer letter)
5) Sent all the documents via special delivery. and Then home office received them and later misplaced them by forwarding them to a wrong department.
5) After chasing them for the update, they have investigated and found the documents with a different department and processed the file on priority.
6) ILR approved on 3rd week of June
So, after well over 11 Eleven months waiting time, the final decision has come positively.
I can only suggest that if everything is in order in your files, without any fault on your side, be patient and the decision will be in your favour.
Once again thanks to everyone! and good luck to every one of you.
If anybody would like to know details or need any help in their applications please do not hesitate to send me a message.
Hi Londoner, congratulations. 11 months is a very long period to wait for. The only thing i do not understand why it took so long for home office to give you the decision. As in my case I have received the letter from DWP stating i have not claimed any benefits, I have send email to home office with a scanned copy and have also send the dwp letter with a cover letter to the caseworker through a special delivery today, it is very strange how come home office system showed an alert about me claiming benefit.Richard007 wrote:Congratulations!

Some times its just a fate. You have every thing in order but still things will not chime through like your case and mine.
Do you mind sharing which email address u used to send the scanned copy of the DWP document to home office.
The only thing I can advise you, of every thing else in your application is clear, just stay calm, things will fall in place.
Also just to be safeside, do keep a record of all your postal receipts.

I was advised by the UKVI customer service executive to send scanned copy on the below email address and the original by post directly to the caseworker:
pscappointmentrefunds@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk
As this is the only reason of benefit claim the caseworker gave me to put the application on hold therefore i don't think she have any other queries and she should have done all other checks before calling for a F2F discussion on benefit claim.
After a couple of days go to the status check pageilrguide2 wrote:Hi Londoner,
I have send the DWP letter on Sat through special delivery, I just tracked the item and it is being delivered today morning with proof of signature.
You are right, even though I have sent them the letter they will still wait for confirmation from DWP, lets see when they will come back to me.
