Yes I think mine is a straight forward case, no gap etc.
I did apply SAR before, but didn't enclose anything with my application.
Good luck and hope you will receive yours soon.

I think we are in for a spell of good news for all August applicants. I'd given up looking up posts on forums as it was distressing me whenever I thought about my application and UK Border agency, so I decided to forget and just wait until I get a surprise in the post. This happened today and I thank the Lord for today I got my passport and documents.
Application date; 12.08.12
Biometrics completed 22.11.12
application pproved; 05.04.12
Passport and documents received; 08.04.12
Application was straight forward with no gaps. Contacted MP two weeks ago taking them to task about the current government policy and treatment of foreign immigrants. Reply was political, with Lib-dem MP shoving the blame towards the Conservative government. I doubt if contacting the MP had anything to do with my decision. Thanks everyone and good luck to all. God bless.

Friends, I have some good news to share with you, finally got my ILR today, ah the waiting is over..Can someone update my timeline please..
Straight case, single, no dependents, no layer, no extra documents except what is asked in the app form. Wrote to MP after 6 months, he contacted UKBA and said they started working on my SEPTEMBER app on 2/04/2013. UKBA actually took only 2 days to process the application (2nd April-4th April)..
I found 2 pick up cards (one from royal mail and one from DX couriers) yesterday when am back from work. Both of them redelivered today..
Royal mail package has my passport and support documents.
DX courier has just BRP card..

Thanks once again for all who prayed for me and my prayers continues for all those who are still waiting.. I will continue to be in the forum checking how others getting on

I contacted the MP via http://www.writetothem.com/ by email and got a reply in the post. First it was an acknowledgement letter with the political blame game. Then I got a second one in which the MP said that she had contacted UKBA on my behalf and was told that the application was received and is under consideration but they could not speculate on timelines etc. The MP told me she understands that they have a large number of applications to deal with so adviced me to wait (I wonder why I hadnt thought of that brilliant idea for the last 7 months!). Unless your case is complicated and you come across problems, or you need to expedite, Id say dont waste your time writing the MP. It might only help to exert political pressure for the UKBA to improve their service but doubt it will do anything to help your individual case. By the way, I just received my ID Card via courier. I don't like the expiry date on there but hey...Izno wrote:Congrats TRM and for timeline !!! I hope now they looking into August applicants and the backlogs....I applied on the 9 August ( 10 yrs route ) no response so far... So when you did contact you MP what was his response ? did they manage to update you ? As i want to contact mine too , but dunno if it will be worthy....
many thanks

Just wondering any word of advice from you guys to convince the Case Worker to get ILR.
One more thing i haven't received my BRP yet, will it be a problem if we just take the approval letter.
Thanks
