Hi Delta

Well to be honest with you if your payment is deducted that's excellent you'll receive the acknowledgement letter as well.

Just like to advice for the Long residence based ILR processing times are any where up to 26 weeks even a little more than that as the HO office people they dont really give any priority to work on Long residense cases as there's nothing much to check a part from the Crimnal Conviction checks and stuffs that's all about it.

So just be patience and keep us posted on the forum regarding your updates with your ILR Application.

Good luck for your ILR.

Hi Mate

To be honest with you I am not an expert on immigration advice just living in this country for the past 9 odd years which is clearly a year less than you.

This is all and all depends on your luck first, then after that it all depends at the discretion of the CW. But normally what I've come accross in the 10 years Long Residence base ILR cases they dont really bother much with any absents and the things like that. But telling you the truth is that I've never ever come accross any long residence based ILR case which is resolved in not earlier than atleast 6 to 8 months even one of friend got it after 14 months so just be very very patient that's all I can advice you.

Good luck for your ILR.

hi, the details your provided seems ok and look straight forward but they do look for any excuse but as you stated ur details all seems pretty much straight, so be patient and wait as ukba is short of staff as you may read in newspaper and taking longer than normal. i also applied in jan and still waiting its almost 13 weeks now.
best of luck.
