Thank you all for those who gave me advises and morale support.And to those who will undergo the same path that I had been - goodluck and hopefully everything will be fine...:)

:) You've been extremely patient. *3 months IS a helluva long time to wait for a process which is, basically, little more than a formality - or SHOULD be - considering the sheer cost of it ... and the fact that couples have already been married for more than two years before becoming eligible to apply. Although I'd mentioned *this as being the projected timeframe when you posted your documents and passport back in June, I believed you would've had your result much sooner.

Hence ... why I maintain - for those who can afford it :rolleyes: - it's worth paying a bit extra to have it done through a PEO.

Anyway, my heartiest Congratulations ... you got there in the end! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Hello Arthur,
Reading some of the threads concerning ILR, my wife will have resided in the UK 5 years in sept 2012. What is a PEO, and is there one in Northern Ireland.

Hello Arthur,
Reading some of the threads concerning ILR, my wife will have resided in the UK 5 years in sept 2012. What is a PEO, and is there one in Northern Ireland.

PEO is an abbreviation for 'Public Enquiry Office' :rolleyes: ... and I'd be very surprised if there isn't one in Belfast.

[Arthur Little]

Yes, Anthony ... there IS! It's address & telephone number are as follows:

UK Border Agency Enquiry Office,
1 Drumkeen Complex,
Upper Galwally,
BELFAST
BT8 6TB

Telephone: 0870~606~7766

Opening Hours: 09.00 to 15.30 on Tuesdays, Thursdays & Fridays - by appointment only - it offers a premium, same-day service for non-European nationals whose applications for extended Leave to Remain are straightforward. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Thanks Arthur. Have taken note of all the details that you gave me.

Thanks Arthur. Have taken note of all the details that you gave me.

Just wanted to confirm the very important point highlighted by Arthur that for personal appearances the application should be "straightforward".

This means that ALL the supporting evidence is fully compliant with UKBA STATED requirements. Any issues at all that require further checks or validations will involve back-office caseworkers and your application will not be decided on the same day but will be added to the 'regular' processing backlog.
Not a good use of your hard-earned cash.

Just my 2 centavos worth
