10 years long residence applications

[sameer2012]

Applied 12th march 2012
Account debited 14th march 2012
Letter confirming application recieved 18th march 2012

i am looking for a letter to do my biometrics form....how long it will take to get letter from caseworker....any one who received letter can you tell how long it took please

I have received my biometric letter after one week.I applied on 29th February and they print out my letter on 07th March and I have received on 12th March and I registered on the same day at Earl's Court.
I met there one of the guy and I called him yesterday and he told me he received his documents on monday.
Most of my friends received their decisions within 3-4 weeks after their biometric enrolment.

hi guys
I applied for 10 years long residence on 29th February 2012.I registered my biometrics on 12th March 2012. One of my friend who registered his biometric on the same day(he applied for PSW) he called yesterday to the HO and they told him that they have already posted his documents.
I am hoping to get my documents back in this week.
I am going to call HO tomorrow about the update on my application.
Any suggestions?

let us know what they say......but its unlikely they will give u anything useful as it has only been lesss than 1month .....normally takes anywhere upto 6months...

mate I am sorry to say but once you enrolled your biometrics it wouldn't take so long.Normally maximum time is 14 weeks after bio metric enrolment but it takes maximum 3-4 weeks after your bio metrics.
I hope you understand now.

Hi guys, I have being in this country since January 2002, unfortunately I lost my passport while on holiday in Africa last year, this made me stranded in Africa for just under 6 months. when i came back, i applied for 'subject access request' which i got in November last year. my question is will my ilr application be treated as straight forward or complicated ilr application i mean in term of processing time. I have always abide by all rules and regulations never out of time renewal. here is the detail of my application submission:

submitted on 20/12/2011
money taken 22/12/2011
acknowledged 23/12/2011
still waiting.........................

I submitted,

copies of previous granted visas
Subject access request
Police report of Lost Passport
Payslip
life in the UK test
obviously, my new passport



Can anyone tell what time i should roughly expect my passport back? Thanks.

Hi Shola, did you apply through a Solicitor or you did it yourself? Since u lost ur passport as well. I also lost my first passport , and idont know weather to use one or not please advice me ..

Thank you.

Hi Perry,

No solicitor mate, I apply on my own after seeking advise from a former home office caseworker. I am lucky enough to have scanned every single page of my lost old passport which showed all the prev visas. All the previous visas copies are attached and explained in a cover letter. All the visas are also covered in the SAR. so you need to apply for one well on-time before your submission.

Thanx for replying, i also have all my copies of previous visa, i will just follow ur advice,I have a feeling ur passort will arrive next week..all the best Shola,,God Bless

[Zainy]

nomibhai you should involve your mp to support and inquire about your application its been so long now.I wonder you are waiting so long,this is really sad,consult with someone who got experience that how to involve your MP.May GOD solve your problem and you get your ILR very soon.ameen.

nomibhai , i would say u should take an appointmnet with your local mp and meet him and demand help , this is out of order , ukba following australian immihgration system , they would never reach there standards, because they are run and operated by s@@m

[brofash]

not one approval in last two weeks , not one from january ,
shola is still waiting from december , i guess we janaury applicants are due for long wait , feel like>>>>.

Hi Zainy!

I am like you, I worry easily, but I would suggest you try to stay calm, if they were going to disappoint you, I am sure they would have done so already, they are just being spiteful, I think sometimes they read the forum and get pleasure from our pain, but we have each other, and we will get through it, it maybe long, but not forever..... God bless.

Hi guys
I totally understand all of the frustrations vented in this post.
I submitted my docs 1st week of Feb, 2012 and still waiting.
However, on reading this post over the past few days, I learnt that a SAR is required when applying for a ILR - 10 years?

Is this compulsory? Do I really need to submit a SAR with my application?

What if I didn't? Can I apply for it now and submit it separately? Or should I wait for any correspondence from the Home Office before I submit the SAR?

Many thanks all. And all the best to you all.

Best
Gordon

Hi Gordon1979!

I do not think SAR is compulsory, I have known someone who applied without it and receive ILR, I also applied without it, but I am still waiting, I am hoping that all will go smoothly for us, I think you should try to relax and wait on them, if you apply for SAR now,I heard it may take up to three months, by then your passport should be back, good luck and keep strong.

Helloooooooooooooooo!


What's been happening these days?????????? No news? It looks like UKBA is on strike, where 10 years lawful residency is concern, it is a pity, they are moving this slow, with OLYMPIC around the corner, and they are moving at this pace, God knows what will happen when a few months down the line, when they will be getting loads of people coming in, and wishing to extend their stay here, how will they manage our application plus the expected ones to face them? Can someone give us some good news?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Hi Everyone!

Can someone serious say that no one on this forum has received there ILR. since last week? It seems like the HO is planning to send out a big batch of passport at once, I think we should be getting some good news by the end of this week, fingers cross.
