ILR postal applications (excluding 10/14 yr.)

[fwd079]

hi all
I've got my ILR approved today! Following is the timeline.

28 Mar 2013 Application posted
02 Apr 2013 Received at UKBA (as per the royal mail tracker)
03 Apr 2013 Payment on Credit Card debited
04 Apr 2013 Credit Card statement showed the payment
04 Apr 2013 Current T1G expired
08 Apr 2013 Acknowldgement Letter received (Dated 04 Apr 2013)
10 Apr 2013 Biometric Notification Letters received (Dated 08 Apr 2013)
15 Apr 2013 Biometrics given in Post office
12 Oct 2013 Approval Letter Received (Dated 11 Oct 2013)

First of all, I thank this forum and all of you wonderful people for being so helpful.

My application was SET(O) with 1 Dependant for 5 year residence on HSMP (2 yrs) and Tier 1 (General) (3 yrs).

One thing worth mentioning is I haven't sent all 5 P60s, the 2010-2011 one was missing. I submitted my Mar 2011 payslip which actually had YTD values that would be in the P60. I have explained this in the cover letter.

I haven't bothered to call the home office atleast once and neither tried to contact MP. So the folks waiting, don't worry you'll get yours soon, just keep patience. Wish you good luck.

Opening the champagne now

Cheers

Hope we can soon start seeing June applications getting successful as well.

Hi all,

I've been reading this for a few months as I've been preparing to send my ILR Set (O) application.

I posted it in on the 23 August 2013.

I have been trying to make sense of all the timelines (Congratulations to those of you who have had an approval letter) and I was just wondering if anyone knew which month's applications were being processed now?

I know it's only been just under 2 months for me so I probably have a long wait ahead of me!!

Not necessarily, a few have had it done within three months, but mostly its six to 9 months. By the postings here, its from Feb 2013 - April 2013 period they're processing now.
