ILR Pending -Help

[surena99]

Hi,
I have applied for ILR on 2nd Oct 2013 at Croydan PEO along with my husband and daughter. They just give me one letter , which says futhur enquires needed on my case so they are extendign my case and holding all other documents. But the lady who gave me that letter said , they need to some security checks on my case and case worker is unable to do at the moment so that's why your case is extended , and also said it may take 2 to 3 weeks.

It's already 4 weeks over I have not heard anything. I called the custmer care . they say my case is still in pending.

our previous passports were stolen in 2010, using which we entered UK. But we submitted all required documents ( police report , copy of previous passprots. Letter from Employer which shows start of my employement and absence in UK, travel tickets). From day 1 I entered UK , I am on employement.

We applied for extension in 2011 and they gave the visa. But now they are saying they need to security checks. Any idea what do they mean?

Anybody had this kind of experiance ? any idea howlong it may take?
I am very much dissapointed and frustated with waitng for the decision.

Regards,
S.

It can take up to 6 months, however, it should be much sooner. There is no saying really, however, you could contact the Home Office and ask for an update.

Thanks for your reply Amber.
I called home office couple of times but they say my application is pending

I think I should have not put the covering letter for stolen passport.
I should have read below post before applying.
