Best of luck to everyone still waiting.
Thanks, it was a standard complaint to UKBA customer complaints department (UKBACustomerComplaints at homeoffice dot gsi dot gov dot uk) where I explained my circumstances as well as highlighting my timeline. I also explained that I had several job offers which I had to turn down.Hopeful2 wrote:Congratulations mrbrightside - all the best for the future.

They have never replied to my complain email. I also contacted my local MP, who appeared to have ignored my request for help. My solicitor has also been sending them letters every month since January. I can't say if our emails and letters has contributed in me getting my ILR approved, but I guess not.
In all likelihood, all our attempts to communicate or gain a response from UKBA appears to fallen on deaf ears. But the fact that I've been granted an ILR despite months of silence demonstrates that UKBA doesn't appear to have forgotten about us.
Good luck. I hope you and the rest on this board will hear some good news soon.
I noticed you enrolled your biometrics around the same time as I did, so fingers cross they are processing yours as well.Hopeful2 wrote:mrbrightside wrote:Thanks, it was a standard complaint to UKBA customer complaints department (UKBACustomerComplaints at homeoffice dot gsi dot gov dot uk) where I explained my circumstances as well as highlighting my timeline.

Hie guys. i put my appeal through on end of May 2013 and havent received even an acknowledgement letter from them. is this normal coz its now 3 weeks. lm panicking thinking they didnot recieve my appeal. As l stated on my previous posts that l did not enclose payment with the appeal, i was expecting to have a least recieved a letter advising me on how to make the payment.
im worried sick now....
So I called AIT today, I submitted my appeal on the 7th of May. it was received on the 23rd of May and payment was taken on the 16th of June. A hearing date will be processed in the next 2 weeks; a hearing date from experience is usually 4 weeks from date of process.[/quote]lola56uk wrote:lola56uk wrote:UPDATES

Hey Dude,
It takes a while for payment to go through.
I submitted mine 2-3 weeks before you and payment is yet to be taken from mine also.
Feel free to call the AIT number and chase the application daily but pretty much the take payment when they are ready to issue you a hearing date.

Hello lola56uk, now you know your hearing would be around end of July and so you can start psyching yourself up for that. At least the end is nearly in sight - best of luck!!
I wish you good success in your on coming appeal. If you believe in God, ask for God intervention in your appeal. He wont let you do2n.[/quote]glory5050 wrote:I think more like August sometime.lola56uk wrote:Hopeful2 wrote:So I called AIT today, I submitted my appeal on the 7th of May. it was received on the 23rd of May and payment was taken on the 16th of June.

So your appeal date is five months from the date payment was taken - that is a very long time to wait. They certainly know how to frustrate us don't they? But then like you said patience is the key and this gives you time to get all your evidence together and prepare yourself. This too shall pass!lola56uk wrote:For those of us awaiting to appeal; I thought I share my timeline with you from an appeal view.
Appeal Submitted - 6th of May.
Payment taken - Around the 17th of June.
Appeal Date - 15th of November.
At least this gives me time to gather all my evidence and arrange in a suitable manner. I wont lie but appeal date is very far away !!! but all the same patient is the key....

By the way the centre chosen for my hearing has to be moved for bias reasons and will be moved to one of the AIT in central London. will keep you updated when I get a new date.

Thanks lola56uk, I'm taking a few days to get used to the fact that I am now a "legal alien" and will start job hunting on Monday. I can't believe that I have started reading the posts on the "naturalisation" forum.
Will them moving hearing to London affect you in any way? Whereabouts in the country do you live? I look forward to reading your updates.
Looks like the die is cast and there is nothing you can do about it so just keep to your plan - get as much information as you can and make sure your barrister presents a watertight case and you will sail right through. Remember God is in control!!lola56uk wrote:I like the terminology "Legal Alien" hahahHopeful2 wrote:lola56uk wrote:I am so happy for you Hopeful2; I kept having an urge to check the forum yesterday but kept shrugging it off. now you have your I am more hopeful for mine now.Hopeful2 wrote:I have just taken delivery of my BRP card which was delivered by DX this afternoon.

well I live in London , but my hearing was in Hatton Cross but as my legal advisers are Immigration Judges in that centre it as to be moved to The central London one. Which is actually better for me as I live closer to central than silly Ol' Hatton Cross.
TBH - I heard judges in Hatton Cross are way more strict than Central London.
