tintin wrote:Hi Guys,

I received a letter from the home office yesterday. The packet also contained all my supporting documents except the passports. The letter says that my application has been approved and the passports will be sent soon.

I am finding this a bit strange, never heard of anyone else who received the supporting docs first and the passport later. Anyone knows if this has happened before and what could the reason be?
Congrats tintin :lol:

Its happens and there are lots of example like yours on the forum.For example cardiff sends passports to sheffield for ilr vigenette.

You dont have to worry too much

Thanks pandapanda. I will surely let you all know when i receive my passport. I am just a bit anxious because I cant see a single similar case for ILR postal application in any forum.

Hi I'm a long time "follower" first time poster. We sent our application on the 2/2/2010, the acknoweledgement letter came 2 weeks after. That is 1yr WP+ HSMP (JR). We got our passports back on the 23/3/2010 with ILR stamped 17/3/2010, but they did not backdate our ILR. My husband called them the following day and told them, and they sent the letter (signed 25/3/2010) backdated from 18/11/2008. That's my story, hope it helps.

Grats!! Wow, the processing time for yours only took 7 weeks... but i dont quite understand of the difference between WP & HSMP. In addition, why would you want them to backdate your ILR?

Booboo.. any new on your application? Looks like Tin Tin , u and me , we applied at appx the same date, Tin Tin got his (although passport not being posted bak as yet) and you still waiting.

Applied for 1yr WP in 2004 then HSMP in 2005 i.e. a total of 6years WP + HSMP in 2010, but could not apply immediately after the JR due to circumstances beyond our control. So we asked them to backdate from when we were eligible i.e. 2008, and they did.

Finally got our passports back today. Actually the packet arrived last week but they left a while you were out card. Due to the bank holidays I could only get them today.

They have all sent the Life in the UK test certificates.

The passports were stamped on 18/03/10.

Booboo any updates? Hopefully you will hear this week.
