Dear all,

Some good news, thank God!

I finally received my passport with ILR this morning. This forum is invaluable.

I decided to post my passport myself but I did have help from a solicitor friend to draft the cover letter.
I was advised by solicitor to include any official documentation, one for each year I have been in the UK. I also included last 3 months statement.

Posted 1/03/11 and acknowledgement received a few days later
Passport received 07/05/11, it was stamped in Liverpool on 04/05/11

Posted ILR SET(O) on 25th March and it was processed in 6wks. It would appear things are speeding up these days. Good Luck to all those of you waiting..

Hello Friends!!

Finally I received my ILR too.
I would like to thank this forum and all of those who have posted here to help others, many thanks to moderators and those who helped me. I had a very straight forward case with No Gaps at all or absences.
I did not use online form!!!

My Process was as follows:

Application posted on 22rd March 2011
Akcnowledgement received dated 24th March 2011
ILR Stamped 27th April 2011 Liverpool office.

A speedy process, even there were few bank holidays.

Documents sent:
1-All passports
2- Pictures
3- Life in UK Test ( It has been returned to me)

Additional Documents: (Not compulsory)

1-Bank statement for 1 month only
2- P60's for last 2 years
3- GP reg. cards since i've been here.
4- A covering letter
5- Letter from employer
6- All degrees/certificates received in UK.

My time spent in UK was made of:
8 years on Student
2 years PSW

Guys bare in mind, that the additional docs which I sent were not required, but I still sent them

Once again thanks to all and good luck to those who are still waiting. Your time will come soon

Regards

Abdu

I posted application on 21 March and still waiting. Any one else in the same situation?

Is it mandatory to send Pre-Paid envelop of Special Delivery with your application, if not, then does it make any difference on processinig time/receiving your documents back.

It's not - I got mine sent back by 2nd Class Recorded, SD envelope not used.

Dear all

It appears that since end of March the UKBA may be slowing down their processing times. It seems those posted from end of March are still awaiting.

Could members update their situation whether they have received a reply or are still awaiting? This would allow other people to have a "clearer" picture of what to expect.

Cheers

My mother's ILR long residency application was granted and the passport arrived yesterday.

Application aknowledged: 14 April 2011
ILR stamped: 27 May 2011

She also had similar problems as I did in that she had a gap of 2 months and as a results didnt have a visa for 6 months.

Happy ending.

Hi Joh118

When did she apply? After or before 6 April? Was it under the 10 years long residence?

It seems that the application took about 8 weeks. I made an application on the 18 April. Presumably the UKBA may be dealing with April applications.

Thanks

Hi,

I have applied for ILR on 10 years category and sent my application on 7 March 2011.

I noticed some of the members have replied as successful for applications sent in march.

Anyone still waiting to hear from UKBA as myself for the applications sent in march 2011??

And also it would be very supportive if the timescales for any more successful applications sent in March 2011 are listed in this forum

I have received my passport today with ILR stamped on 1 June 2011. They took around 13 weeks to process. Good luck to everyone else waiting.

One more thing, UKBA has completely ignored my special delivery envolope sent with the application for the return of my docs and sent the passport back through second class recorded delivery.

She applied before 6th April.
Why else would I post this under "10 years long residence SET (O) waiting times" if it wasnt under 10 year long residence?

you should get your passport very soon.

[andsyl]

I have applied in April. Application received by UKBA 19 April. Still no reply.

There many members of this forum who applied 01/4 05/04, 06/04, and 11 & 12/04 who apparently are still waiting.

UKBA may have decided to go back to the waiting times of up to six months that can still be found on their website.

I am starting to loose hope of getting a reply before 14 weeks ..... if at all!!

Never mind

i can not understand .
