Just looking back in this very thread there are minimum ten people, who submitted their ILR before 09-Dec-2015 and never left any message on whether they were successful or when they received their BRP:

1. Tina0311 – submission 10/10/2015
2. diwakar_shukla – submission 28/10/2015
3. ahsn013 – submission 24/06/2015
4. kiranv5 – submission 22/10/2015
5. boladale – submission 29/10/2015
6. rocketeer – submission 03/11/2015
7. Airboss – submission 13/10/2015
8. moon_man – submission 11/11/2015
9. Anumkh – submission 08/10/2015
10. bhavesh_patel – submission 03/12/2015

We would really appreciate if those people reply if they received their BRPs in the end. It is just out of respect to the people still waiting for the decision

I watch this forum with regards to timeframes... Thought I would share my timeline.

Tier 1 general + 4 dependents (2 years then 3 years).
Salary and Dividends from my own company.

Submitted 08/03/2016 (via immigration consultant).

Biometric letter recieved 22/03/2016

Biometrics submitted 29/03/2016

No updates since.

Still waiting for any news. Have considered upgrading but have decided that it has already been 3 months, so will only be 'up' to another 3 months to wait...

I sent my wife's SET(O) application on ~10th of February (I got my ILR in PEO before her).
Biometrics and payment were processed pretty quickly but no news since then :(

No idea why it's taking so long, her case is straight forward: PBS dependant for 5+ years with almost no absences.
Her language test was in Trinity College so shouldn't be any issues with that..

Hi mate
No he didnt attached any amended letter because he didnt get any thing from HMRC he amended his tax because in hmrc record he was below £3000 from his threshold income and he updated at the very last moment so it was not updated in HMRC system at the time of posting application.

OK, at least we know they have started doing February applications now.
That one is a serious refusal though so you can expect it to take longer than successful applications (due to the need of refuse approval from a senior caseworker).

Just received this from my immigration Consultant. Thought some of you might find it useful....
Please see an abstract from the UKVI website to fast track your application. In total you will need to pay additional £500 per person to fast track the application.

"Get a faster reply to your visa application

You may be able to get a decision within 5 working days if you’ve already sent your visa application by post.
You can use this service if you’ve applied for settlement in the UK using one of the following forms:
SET (AF)
SET (F)
SET (LR)
SET (M)
SET (O)
You can also use this service to apply for a biometric residence permit (BRP) if you’re settled in the UK with no time limit.

Fees

You must pay £400 per person, in addition to the application fee you’ve already paid.

How to apply

Download and fill in the request and payment forms.
Send them to the email address on the request form.
What happens next

Only the first 5 requests received each day between 8am and midday (Mondays to Thursdays only) are accepted.
You’ll get an email by 5pm the same day if you’ve been accepted.


If you’re accepted for the faster service

You must give your fingerprints and photo (biometric information) if you haven’t already done this.
You’ll be told if your application will take longer than 5 working days. This could happen if:
extra checks are needed
you need to go to a premium service centre in person - you’ll have to pay a £100 booking fee"
So it sounds as if you may need to apply each day, as only 5 cases a day are accepted Monday to Thursday....

Now with correction I have received BRP 02nd June 2016. So, on which date I have applied for Naturalisation AN bit confuse.

This thread is "EXCLUDING SET LR"

Why are you misleading us.

We are suffering for 5-6 months already and you are bringing confusion. Why don't you set up a different topic and discuss your problems there?

We have paid 6-8 thousand pounds,we are waiting for half a year. We have families, 3-4-5 dependants. The Home Office is a nightmare to deal with. Our holidays are ruined. And now. People are paying thousand pounds extra for upgrading to premium service. they are denied this bloody service because you need to be lucky to call in the morning from 8 am and be the first five of them.

You don't understand people suffering, people pain.

Just set up you separate bloody thread and relieve yourself there.
