Good work, please add me.
Application Set (O) posted 30th July 2011 for ILR after 5 years HSMP/Tier one for me, my wife and my son.
Acknowledgement - 3rd August 2011
Visa expired - 25th August 2011
Application Status - 15 weeks and 5 days, and still waiting patiently.
Wife lost a job in October 2011 because Visa had expired.
Posting my application was a very big mistake.
Update: 17 weeks and still waiting.
Wife called GP this morning to book an appointment and the GP said you and family have been removed from my register because your visas have expired. Wife is pregnant and Son is bleeding from his nose, yet GP says he will not attend to them until we get our visas.
I called home office this morning, home office said there is nothing we can do.
So now we have no visas, no GP so no access to medical assistance, wife has no job (lost job in October because visa had expired), no help or assistance from home office.
Besides all of these, we trust in God.

This is absolute rubbish, if you apply before your current leave expires your status remains the same while the application is being processed, some one else had the same issue. UKBA should have told you that, see this UKBA link
http://ind.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-immi ... ettlement/ and see the note at the bottom of the page "Frequently Asked Questions"
What is my immigration status while my application is being decided?
If you make an application before your authorised stay ends, your existing immigration status will continue until your application is decided, even if the decision is not made until after the end of your permitted stay. If your existing visa or other permission to stay here allows you to work, you can continue to do so until your case is decided.[/quote][/quote]

Trust me, I have downloaded the relevant parts of UKBA website, converted it to PDF and send it to them. But all they want to see is the visas. The GP said we are not interested in any letter, all we want to see is the visa. Same thing happen to her potential employer in October. The employer said we know you have applied for renewal, but we want to see your visa and not any letter.
I have done everything except contacting the local MP.
It is obvious that some employers and many institutions in UK do not care to know anything about the visa application process. It is either you have it or you do not have it.
I pray the visas come before the end of this week (Week 17). lf l knew it would take this long, l would not have posted it.
I have sent an email to the home office this morning, hopefully someone will respond and send our visas immediately.
