Hi vanilla82vanilla82 wrote:Hey all, I've been a silent follower for a while. Here are my stat:
Application posted: 7th Oct (Received by the Home Office on 10th Oct)
Application fee (debit card) deducted: 13th Oct
Acknowledgment letter received: 24th Oct (letter was dated 11th Oct)
My application is based on 10 years residence, combination of visitor, student, and post-study work. I applied roughly 20 days before the qualification period (within the 28 day rule).
Posted:
-application form
-pictures
-police registration certificate
-life in the uk test pass
-3 months bank statements
-current and old passports covering all my leaves.
Good luck to all and i will keep updating.
p.s. can i just say that while my application has no gaps, no criminal record, clean and straightforward i am still not confident and will probably feel nervous and unsure until i'll get my passport back with the priceless stamp on it.

Also if any one could tell me that 3 months (13 weeks) maximum waiting time is counted from date of application or from acknowledgement?

My case was very straight forward and I only sent the app. form, two photos and the life in UK pass notification letter.
I completed my ten years back in June this year but my poor health did not let me apply any sooner. Thank you good people I love you all. you have been so so helpful specially Mods (Vinny and shushdmehta), all the Gurus (Greenie and Lucapooka), all the seniors, all the 10 years applicants and ah_kassem you are just brilliant, only we know how much it means to us seeing our names moving up the list as the time passes. Thank you soooooo much. After you good people I am gonna ring me parents to break this good news. The whole 10 years and the application process was just a roller coaster ride..... I am totally overwhelmed and speechless..... No words can express the feelings :'(

hi BigSam,BigSam wrote:Hi everyone,
I did not know this forum existed until recently when I heard about it from a colleague.
It is refreshing to see people getting their passports back in around 10 weeks, I was totally in the dark before I found this forum.
Here is my timeline:
Application sent: 25th Aug
Payment taken: 31st Aug
Acknowledgment Letter Dated: 31st Aug (don’t remember when I received it; it was within a couple of days though)
I would like to think that my case is straightforward 6 years student and 4 Tier 1 with no significant gaps and no criminal convictions. I am hoping to have mine back in the not too distant future…
I would like to say congratulations to those who received their passports back and thank you all for sharing your experience. I would also like to thank ah_kassem for his work. Keep up the good work my man
Good luck to everyone!

I totally agree wid u....... if your case is staright forward plz dont waste your money on solicitors for your 10 yearz caes.... One of my mates applied through a lawyer back in June and he is still waiting for his passport...... whenever he tries to cotact his lawyer he is told to sit tight and wait...... he paid 800 odd quid on the top of HO application fee.... His application was too straight forward but his lawyer told him to send all his degrees, mortgage docs, 2 references from professional and the list goes on. Brainford is right........ no need to send any extra docs as they complicate the case for no reason.brainford wrote:I would advise people not to waste money with sollicitors if you know you have a clean record and tick all the required boxes. There is no need to send any other material like employment letter, bank statements etc. I don't think the caseworkers pay attention to that.
