The latest similar case to be processed on this thread was from PKP who sent his documents to PEO on 15th Feb .ausgirl88 wrote:I found my receipt for my mailed additional docs and checked with royal mail and they were received at Croydon on 22nd Feb.!!
Is it better to send a fax or send an email? I think I will send a fax as well tomorrow...chweetgurl wrote:I spoke to UKBA on the 0870 number - Lady who answered was polite i explained my situation but she was unable to mention progress on my application (as we all know UKBA's stupid policy) and she could see my documents have not left home office and that It was up to to the caseworker to take up my file. I asked her then what should i do ? suggestion was to fax croydon office a letter.
Which i will do tomorrow and see what happens!!

Additionally the call centre team do have visibility of what's happening with a particular application.
You need to choose the option where it is for general queries (I think option 4) or the option that says 'if you have been waiting for more than 6 months'.ausgirl88 wrote:
Curious to know how you actually spoke to someone as I have tried to call on the 0870 number and there are only recorded messages....??
Yes indeed... lot of sleepless night hope we all get good news soon.jaskiratbaweja wrote:This has indeed been a very dry week with lots of people with PEO delay waiting and nobody seems to have heard back from Croydon PEO. I do not know how they prioritise and process the applications.
For me it's coming to almost a full month since the date of application and 3 weeks since additional documents requested have been supplied.
Hope the next week is a better one and brings the good news for people waiting on ILRs (jaskiratbaweja, ausgirl,chweetgurl,Panda_0077, Ranga, vtp11321,mtpsk,Zyron)
Have a good weekend all.

It also reiterates that despite absences, cases do get approved. I had 216 Business related absences and 179 Personal absences.
On top of that I had 1 year unemployment between 2009 - 2010. So Tier 1 has no issues with employment gaps.
Just ensure that you supply proper and detailed documentation and be honest and upfront.

Economically active clause was for HSMP and JR applications but for HSMP (after Nov 2006) + Tier 1 (General) all you need to satisfy is the points criteria. So being unemployed in-between is definitely not an issue.aka189 wrote:
Hi jaskiratbaweja
Congratulations on your ILR.
I had same problem went to Sheffield PEO to extend my Tier-1 visa but caseworker just gave me letter that my application is valid but they are doing further checks. They did not ask for more documents. I provided more than enough documents also. So I will have to wait I guess.
Can I ask you said you were unemployed for a year? I heard you have to be economically active otherwise you won't get ILR, did they ask you anything about your unemployment?
Can you please reply I just want to know if unemployment makes any difference or not?
Thank you for your prompt reply. It makes sense now.jaskiratbaweja wrote:
