I don't think its according to Biometric date dear.
As hapoo pointed out those submitted applications around 20th have got theirs already, but given bio later than you.

I think its a matter of which case worker our docs are given to!! :idea:
Some may work quick others slow, digging deeper perhaps!!
It took a whole month for me to even receive the biometric letter when most had it in 2 weeks or sth :roll:
Oh god wish I knew of the 1 day service coming into effect. endless waiting and stressing :x

Lets hope it wont take too long. As long as we keep thinking and stressing, it gets more delayed I think!! :(

Are your details on the timeline by the way?
If not please add.


Also check that some who have applied earlier than you also seems to be still waiting (or may be they didn't visit the site to update it!?)
Pl check your spam folders too just in case an email gone to that may be...

I think people who applied through solicitor dont receive any email. They just send them the letter (6 months time).

That's true. People apply through solicitor don't get email. As I only received letter. My solicitor said its all up to them but it's been 2 months so if they had any query they would have ask for that.

Hi Sad.1, Thanks . answer of your questions:

1. They didn't ask any questions to me.
2. Ground 3.2 I just wrote N/A.as this doesn't apply to me.

I think in regards to your 3 points and fine you should mention it. I dont think it would affect you but you must disclose. If possible go on premium service.

When you had the penalty points, how long ago?



sad.1 wrote:Many many congratulations to you
Really happy to hear that.
I would like to ask to you
1- did they asked you about your current status what you doing ?
2- what grounds did you write on form 3.2?
I am also completing my 10 years soon but I have not decided yet should I hire a solicitor or not well my case is not complexes
All applications I submit was on time.
Had a refusal about entrepreneur and all.appeals was in time .
Even I have 3 points and £100 fine but it wasn't any crime offence or court case.
Simply paid my fine and got 3 points for mobile.usage.
Would you please comment. On this thanks

quote="rzbca"]Hello Friends, I have some good news to share.My ILR (LR) has been approved today in Liverpool PEO!

My experience:

10 am appointment but reached there at 9:30. Straightaway entered after security check.

Done Biometric in 20 mins. After bio they took 45 mins to decide.came out at 11. Very professional and straight forward. I was bit worried because i declare my TFL offence for fine.

I was on 4 yrs student+2 year PSW+ 4 yrs tier 1 General (last extension i showed employment .

I personally think if you have no gaps or nothing complex then you should use premium service. The money you spend really pays off.

This forum is great and I thank many of them on this forum as last 1 month I was a silent reader for every single post! Keep it up guys.

I wrote all this thinking some should benefit with my experience.

Hi rzbca,
I had them last year in September
But I have consulted a lawyer he said you are free to apply.
If you don't mind me to ask what was your current status?
I will definitely go for premium service. So who does this section 3.2 applies I haven't gone through the application form.itself but just seeing other people and having an idea,

After Boimetric and your case has been passed to case worker and they told you further check is required.
Furthermore, you will hear from us by next week when your documents will be post to you.

Is that normal ?

Hi sad,
I was on tier 1 general. From my understanding this offence will not affect you however i would recommend to do a crb check if all clear then go with confidence. I am not sure about 3.2 but if you had asked me on application form 3.2 then this doesn't apply to me.Thanks

Hi,

Just a quick question. I wanted to apply ilr based on long residence, however, the whole entire time i have been here, i only had a gap of overstaying for exactly 28 days. Should this be a problem in making my application.?
Would be grateful for the advice.

Please do not listen to this guy - and seek professional advice from a lawyer. Mention to your lawyer about wriiting a letter to HO detailing all your english tests.

Did you have to wait till you completed 10 years? Or you went within 28 days before you arrived in the uk?

Hi guys,
I have question if someone can answer,
After getting the iLR on long residency if we apply for dependent visa do we need to pay crappy NHs charges.

Its £200 per years.

Any answer will be appreciated.

For dependent visa u need to pay NHS Health surcharge.

TeWaio wrote:Hi everyone,

I have followed this board for a while and appreciate all the knowledge that is shared.

My situation:

Arrived UK 29-09-05.

4 years on Tier 4, followed by 2 years on Tier 2 (general), followed by 3 years on Tier 4 again, followed by Tier 2 (general) I currently hold.

Meet all requirements for 10-year ILR (schedule of absences < 540 days, no convictions, no breaks in leave etc.) therefore eligible to apply for 10-year ILR on 01-09-15 (Home Office accepts applications 28 days early).

Have recently learned I am being made redundant by my Tier 2 employer effective 29-05-15. Therefore leave will be curtailed to 28-07-15 (termination date + 60 days), or, as I understand happens in practice, a extra week or so to account for the time it takes my employer to notify the Home Office and the Home Office to curtail my leave.

Therefore, I will probably have my leave to remain curtailed to a date sometime in early-mid August, which is a matter of weeks before I am eligible to apply for 10-year ILR.

There seems to be a 28-day 'grace' period that happens immediately after a leave curtailment date passes, whereby the Home Office can accept visa applications, and if said applications are successful do not count this as "breaking" ILR eligibility. My question is this: Were I not able to find another Tier 2 job in time, and were I to overstay beyond my likely early-mid August leave curtailment date and then submit my 10-year ILR application on 01-09-15, would that application be automatically refused, or would it stand a chance of being accepted (being within the 28-day grace period) if I otherwise met every possible requirement?

Thanks for reading. In a pretty tough situation here so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Would I be eligible to stay under the FLR FP private life 10 year route - I thought I would be a few weeks short of qualifying for that like I am just short of 10 year ILR?

I am not sure what you mean by "delay biometric till last day" and then how I could change the application to SET LR? Could you explain more fully please?

Thanks
