Hello Hassan
I hope you're well.
I don't know your particular reasons for not being able to work/get a job, but I understand that some people might have difficuties getting a job after sending their application for ILR. I know of a case of someone who sent her application, and soon after that got a new job. The new employer requested proof of her eligibility to work in the UK. She then showed a copy of her endorsement (just expired) + the home office letter, and explained that she was just in the process of applying for ILR. It took her sometime to prove to her employer that she was in fact allowed to work. I'm not assuming this is your case. I'm just giving this as an example of a difficulty some people might experience when applying for a job near the end of their limited leave to remain, or while they're applying for ILR.
If you really don't want to wait more, you might be able to withdraw the application, and then use the same-day service in one of the public enquiry offices. The fee for that service is more expensive than the postal one though. Also, bear in mind that if your application is not straight-forward, they might ask you to post it!
Good luck
