My ILR SET(m) Postal Application Timeline..

Sent: 25th March

Decision: Awaiting..

(I have seen a few threads on here where ILR SET(m) applications have been processed in around a month)..

My Application type is SET(M)

My Visa Expiry Date was: 31/01/2010
I sent my Application on 26/01/2010
They received my application on 28/01/2010
Got Ack Letter dated 29/01/2010
the waiting time has been as of now: 19 weeks
No Fee has been taken out of my a/c yet;


I'm still waiting for the decision, The thing is no Visa fee has been taken out of my account yet and its been almost 19 weeks and I'm still waiting for my decision. Whenever I call them they say 95% application are solved within 6 months but when I applied for the visa the waiting time was 12-16 weeks.But my biggest point of concern is why they have not taken the payment out of my account yet and why they are taking ages.

Any advice or help will be much appreciated.

I posted my husbands application on the 25th May its a Set M form

Application received: 26th May
Money taken out from account: 28th May
Acknow letter receievd : 1 week later.

Thought i'll jsut update you so i can track the application as i go along.

Wasim bhai I'm really concerned to see the poor progress of your application you ought to write a letter to UKBA. At least query why the payment has'nt gone through or check with your bank.

@haych10

I did contact with HO but they said my application is in process but now when I spoke with the bank, they said yeah there was a payment which had been declined........................................Here come the negligence, Should my case worker not have informed me about paying though alternative methods but he did not. Well what I did, now I sent my covering letter with payment detail form again to HO lets see what they say.But it is clearly mentioned in the acknowledgement letter if there is any problem regarding processing the payment, The case worker would contact me but he did not?

hi All,
I submitted my application for ILR on the 21 of June, received my acknowledgement letter on the 23rd.
I have to travel on the 6th of September urgently and I cannot change this date as it is work related. now my dilemma is when should I call and request to withdraw my application. I have been reading on the forum some different information, some people saying that their passports was returned three days after request, others saying that their passports was returned 10 working days after.

what do you guys think, any advice will be really helpful, should I called on the 25t of august or should i leave it till the end of august, maybe i will receive it by then.
shall I call the home office and tell them about my urgent arrangement.

I need to mention that my ILR application is based on a marriage visa.

Thanks all for your help in advance.
