Wrong confirmation letter

[onlyfarhan]

Hi All,

My dependent applied for her ILR today at Croydon Premium Service centre today which was successful. She was on a Tier 2 dependent visa and we applied using Set(O) application form for her ILR since she has now completed her 5 years in U.K.

Her application was successful but the confirmation letter they gave states - "Application as a dependant of a Tier 2 migrant under the Points Based System". It does not say ILR or Indefinite Leave to Remain any where on the confirmation letter and the letter says that the usual restrictions like recourse to public funds exist, which I think is wrong. When I got my ILR all restrictions were explicitly lifted in my confirmation letter.

We are yet to receive the BRP card so I am not sure whether this is an error in the confirmation letter or they have processed it incorrectly. Anyway to confirm this? And in case of later how can this be rectified? Surely, I won't be asked to apply again and pay £2999 again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Wait till you have the BRP and you can confirm if indeed a mistake is made. If the mistake is not your fault, then I wouldn't expect UKVI to ask for another payment.

They would have made the applicant sign a form confirming their details such as name and address before they issue or send a BRP card, in that form it would have also confirmed the type of leave he or she was granted at the PSC.

Can you confirm that you had read that form and it did state indefinite leave to remain as the type of leave granted?

I remember this being the case for my wife when we applied in June, although there was not confirmation of ILR granted, it did refer mostly to the BRP card being sent within 7 working days etc.

This is correct. The Case worker comes with all the details of the successful application and makes you sign a form for the BRP. Did you confirm what was signed ?

Thank you guys. But I don't remember case workers coming at all to get things signed off. Someone comes and gives the decision and documents back that someone is definitely not the case worker. And they definitely don't ask to check details and get anything kind of receipt signed at the end. At least not at Croydon PSC.

When I applied for my ILR last year, I did get a generic letter but I also got letter confirming that all kinds of restrictions have now been lifted off from my stay. I mean the requirements for ILR and Tier 2 Dependent visa are so different that I can't see any one mistaking the two. Life in UK test, no fees for NHS, etc.

I am sure we applied using Set(O) form which is the correct form for ILR for my wife's category as Tier 2 dependent. I am sure we paid the right fees as well as it's all automated and online. So all I can hope for is that the only problem was with the letter.

I guess we will wait for the BRP next week and see what happens. I will update this forum once I hear more.

Thank you all for your replies and guidance. We have now received the BRP and it's correct. So it seems that the mistake was limited to the confirmation letter they gave us.

I don't think any further action is required.
