10 years long residence applications

[skaa10]

I've been a silent reader as well.
Application sent 27th July and received today. Stamp date is 27th September.
Straightforward application (combination of visitor, student , work permit). Came very close to going over the limit for number of days out of the country and had lots of missing stamps.

Good luck to all still waiting

altfhn and hunter recived their passports within one week of stamping the ilr, making their total waiting time 8.5 weeks. i m not sure if this will be the standard waiting time but we have to see, i realy hope it is the case.

Hi,

Thanks to Allah I just received my passport. Can't describe my happiness. I think all of you can understand because its a very long journey.

The ILR is stamped on the 3rd October in Liverpool. It came back in my next day special delivery envelope which I sent with my application.

I hope and pray that all the friends waiting will receive their ILR very soon especially Adamboston and Vien1206.

I had eight years student and last two years PSW. I just sent all my passports, pics and life in uk test cert.

Thanks to this form because it kept me going for 11 weeks. It became very good since bunty4ILR and Ah Kassem started and maintained the time line. Keep up the good work. May Allah bless you all and peace be with you.

Congratulations to those who recieved thier passports and est of luck to those who did not.

[vien1206]

Dear all,

Firstly congratulations to those who received their passport back recently!!

Meanwhile, for me, I am still waiting after 12 weeks now. I don't know if everyone is aware that the UKBA phone system has now changed - when you call for a progress update there is no longer any operators, instead they've left a message saying that do not contact them if your application is less than 6 month old!!

Does anyone know any ways of communicating with them whatsoever?!

Did u try the number in ur acknowledgement letter? Bcoz 3 weeks ago we rang that number & spoke to a person.

[adamboston]

Yea I also tried to ring but now you can't speak with anyone anymore. It's my 12th week too.

[fajr]

if u use android phone search ukba news in the market and stay in touch with processing times

I have installed the app but cant find processing time option.

On UKBA website says, "decide 95% of postal applications within six months"

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas ... tingtimes/

Thats not useful; this forum gives more precise timings.

[ah_kassem]

Hi all,

it is the end of the week and only one person recieved his passport. I have a feeling that the average waiting will be 10 - 11 weeks with Vien and Adam being an exception to the case as they are heading to week 13 now.

Vien I am wondering if you have posted an flr(m) form for your spouse with your application?

Regards

[shri997]

Hi vien and Adam,did you post your application after completing 10 years or in that 28 days period before 10 years?somebody told me sometimes it makes difference for processing time.

Hi ah_kassem,

No, mine is a single application, my spouse is british citizen. I was wondering if it has been piled under or something. I have written a letter to them 2 days ago, I'll let you know if I get any response.

Hi Shri997,
I have completed my 10 year residence back in January this year, my visa is valid till the end of November. Since January I have been waiting for UKBA, firstly on a SAR request, and then now on ILR since July.

Dear all,

I have been a silent member for a while and I really appreciate everyone in this forum who share their valuable information and try to help each other. Meanwhile congratulations to everyone on receiving your ILR and sincerely hope pending applicant will get your passport with ILR very very soon.

My waiting time was 10.5 weeks – 10 years long residence

Application sent out on 27 July 2011
Acknowledgement letter dated on 01 August 2011 and received on 04 August 2011
Payment made by Debit card
Passport stamped on 04 Oct 2011 and received on 12 Oct 2011

Furthermore, I had no gaps and no significant absences on my case, but I had traffic offence with fixed penalty of £200 and 6 point taken from my driving license in 2009. I had CRB Check which says I am free of any unspent criminal conviction and I still felt that I should be honest about the traffic offence disclosure explained in my cover letter and provided some support document as well.

Good luck to all pending applicants again!

Hi vien and Adam,did you post your application after completing 10 years or in that 28 days period before 10 years?somebody told me sometimes it makes difference for processing time.

Hi shri997

I applied 24 days before my 10th anniversary (within 28 days). So we have 2 different situations i.e. myself who applied before the 10th anniversary and vien applied after competing his 10 years. We both applied on the same day (18th July) and both are still waiting for the decision. My case is quite straight forward; no gaps, no criminal or traffic offences or convictions etc etc. My wife's FLR(M) is also connected to my ILR application, perhaps due to that there's a delay in my case. I don't know I am just guesstimating.
