Re: Thanks for great effort

My wife posted her application on 19th October 2011 and received acknowledgment 0n 21st October. This is for SET(M) and should be the most straightforward to process. I suspect ten minutes would do it! If someone would like to add her to the list I would appreciate it!

Her status and all the documentation is clear cut and there is no real room for a rejection.

We are still waiting!!
Bob, my husband got his yesterday and he posted his application just a couple of days after your wife, so I really hope you get yours soon.

upset

Post by amsidk » Thu Mar 01, 2012 2:55 pm

my husband applied for ILR on 11th oct 2011 n we r still waiting. I hv to fly back home to attend my brother's wedding due in mid of march. we send expidete letter n contact MP. MP was kind enough to enquire abt progress n he said tht my husband passport is with decision maker while me n duaghter passport r not in system which is weird becuz we send only one application in which hubby was main applicant n me n duaghter r dependents. Is it possible they lost our passport n even if they lost it then they should contact us till now becuz its 20 weeks now ... im so upset with all this crap in my life ... wish i could kill the person holding my passport for last 20 weeks :(

Hi all!
First of all thanks chrisrich for adding me to the list.
Me and my hubby would like to attend a family wedding at the
end of march in pakistan, 2 couples we know applied just before
us and both got there ilr last week so i decided to see my mp to check
if theres any news, he phoned glasgow border agency as its impossible
to get through to liverpool he says, we were shocked to hear that my case
just got started getting looked at by a caseworker on 29th feb. my mp says hes going to wait until the 12th march then get back intouch with them again. My case is one of the most straight forward cases :cry:

You are welcome ShahG, i hope you get your ILR soon. I think there's no consistency (datewise) in the way how applications are dealt with, it depends on the efficiency of the caseworkers, some are fast & others very slow. Some people who applied in January have got their documents back, others are waiting a long time but all will be well.
