could it be bad news?

Hi

In the start of may I applied for ILR using SET(O) as I was on an ancestory visa

Today I got home from work to find a post office slip to say missed, as it was in my maiden name, i could only think it was the home office. As I couldn't pick up the letter yet from the post office I rang the home office as I wanted to see if it was from them. They confirmed they sent a parcel to me on the 10th sept but couldn't tell me any more around my application.. so now its a long wait until tomorrow morning ..

If they are refusing you, do they normally do this or is this there general practice to not say anything ?

Also if they do refuse and you want to appeal can you keep working for a x amount of time after a refusal ? the reason I ask this is I am the worker with my husband staying home to look after my 2 year old little boy. if i had to stop work we would have 0 income

thanks

HO will not tell you the outcome in any case, you have to check the post

If they sent a 'parcel' it sounds like your documents back and I would expect positive news tomorrow if you met the requirements for settlement.

thanks, i really hope so.

do they normally send the granted or refusal letter when returning your documentation?

simple answer, Yes. as long as you appeal within the stipulated number of days.

Hi,

sorry if this has been asked before but couldn't find it.

I have been granted IRL and letter was dated 10th Sept. I know they said my BRP should be with me shortly and I would have to show ID and sign for it. Though I can work from home sometimes, do I personally have to be in to receive the BRP ? I am the sole applicant, my husband is a Brit Citizen and my application was not related to being married to British citizen

The BRP will be delivered by DX (Tel: 01604 496 798) who will expect a form of ID for you (i.e. driving licence) to be shown upon delivery. You should ring them on Monday to see if they have a delivery for you.
