Hi mustang390

I have same case as yours, did you receive biometric letter since you phoned them, pls can you provide timeline.

I have applied on 3rd march but still havent received anything. I spoke to helpline on 14th June and explained situation, they said same thing that they will sent letter within 10 working days.

I phoned them again on yesterday and they said it has been sent on 15th june, but still waiting.

pls can you advise.

Hi No I have not received anything from them yet, I will call them on Friday to chase them up But we can't trust them :((
do you remember what date they said they have will send you biometric letter within 10 working days ?
They Never Said that they actually sent it out the lady on the phone said "Oh Really ? u didn't receive it ? let me chase this up and if you dont get it by 22nd June 12 then do give us a call"
did you phone them today about biometric letter ? what did they say?. I am going to phone them on Monday I will let you know the outcome.

How odd, the service standards page for ILR says 95% of applications decided within 6 months. 24 weeks is less than 6 months... so I'm not sure what this is announcing.

Alas, I'm sure it'll come through some time. They don't often lose stuff. :-)
It isn't the first time contradictory information has been published on the UKBA website. By their own admission, anyone waiting more than 24 weeks is experiencing substandard service.

Ashwin 1860, WTF any others who have not received their documents back, could you please update from which UK BA office did you receive your ACKN letters ie Liverpool. sheffield etc, because I think time lines are differing between different centres where they are being processed.

ILR Appication Set (o) not under JR

Post by Lost-in-transition » Mon Jun 25, 2012 9:51 am

Hi

In the waiting list my timelines need to be under Set (o) non JR. Please correct on waiting list. Thanks. Could you also request members to update the name of the centre from which people have received their AKN letter, both for people who have got their passports back and those who haven't. Time lines may differ according to the office they are being processed at. That will give us a better Idea about what is happening.

ACK Letter

Post by WTF » Mon Jun 25, 2012 9:57 am

I received my acknowledgement letter from Croydon, although someone on this forum mentioned that all ILR applications are sent to Liverpool for processing(?).

Offices of UKBA

Post by Lost-in-transition » Mon Jun 25, 2012 10:09 am

Since the time I have had my visa's sorted for HSMP & Tier-1, all my correspondence has been with the Sheffield Office. This time my AKN is again from Sheffield. It depends where your information has been sorted initially and they have your records and accordingly your documents reach their office to be sorted.

Lost-in-transition thanks for the update, I will move your stats under SET (O) to reflect in next weeks post. Also good idea with regards to processing offices. Could every person posting and previously posted, reading this please let us know what office your application is being processed at.

Mine is being processed in Liverpool. I will add your processing location to your stats to reflect in next weeks update.

I hope the mail man brings you some good news this week!!

Hi, Seems like the acknowledgement letter came from Sheffield. What do you think of the waiting time is?

Set (O)

Post by Lost-in-transition » Mon Jun 25, 2012 12:59 pm

Seeing the timelines for the last few people who have received their applications back, it looks like they have speeded up a little on applications and is doing it in less than 20wks for straight Forward ones, but some may be due to expediting or contacting MP. Have you sent Expedite letter or contacted your MP?

hi

I applied for ILR using SET(O) on 19-Feb-2012, payment taken on 21-Feb-2012. Today, I came across this forum. I read few threads and realised that that I should have received acknowledgement letter from UKBA. I just wanted to know whether it is common not to receive the acknowledgement letter?

I also contacted the UKBA, they couldn't find my application using the postal delivery bar code. The guy asked for my date of birth, nationality and full name and then after a while told me that it is in the queue and my application can take a while. They can't give me any further details except that I have to keep waiting since they have a backlog of applications to clear.

I am not sure what to expect from them now. Anyone had the same experience???!!!

Regards

It has happen to others before, the gentleman says that your application is with the UKBA, you will be fine, there are people who applied before you, who haven't heard from them as yet, keep praying, all will be ok.
All for one, one for all..... Peace

Hi,

I found this board yesterday and thought I'd add my timeline here as well.

SET (O)
Posted ILR Application: 27-02-12
Payment Taken: 29-02-12
Ack Letter Received: 01-03-12 (Letter was dated 29-02-12)

17 weeks now and still waiting. I see that people that posted at a similar time like me are getting a reply now so praying I won't have to wait too long now.

Good luck to everyone out there...

HELP! Are we too late??

Post by epride2009 » Thu Jun 28, 2012 12:00 pm

Hi all,

Just found this website and Im hoping someone can help.
I am American, married to a Brit. We have been married 2 and a half years and I have been in the country (UK) for 2 years (2 June 2010). My souse visa expires on 2 August and so we are now in the process of applying for ILR. We wanted to use the premium service but are unable to book an appointment!!! When I called I was told by the automated service that due to the high volume of applications and calls, they are wanting people to apply by post. Were worried though because technically I need to be out by 2 August if not approved...or am I wrong about that? Once they accept my application, does that mean I can stay in the UK and continue to work? I really hope we arent too late but we waited because we saw it said not to apply until 28 days before the 2 year mark. We did wait a couple of weeks longer but werent expecting to not be able to get an appointment!! Can anyone help or explain our options?

Refer to this...

"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.

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas ... ettlement/

Bottomline - you are sorted once you apply 28 days before your current leave to remain expires. Hope that helps

Hi dsbos,

In my panic, I didnt even see that on the website! Thank you so much...that makes me feel a little better. We have found that there is a checking service offered so Im going to try to make an appointment in the next 2 weeks and I think they send things off that day so everything should work out...fingers crossed! Thanks again for your help!
