We didnt blank out our account numbers and sort codes, we submit it as it is but we informed our bank that there will be large amount coming out on the day of the submission of ILR.

It's probably a good idea to blank out the numbers - looking at some of the people the UKBA see's fit to employ it wouldn't be long before your financial and personal details are used by a man in Lagos

Sorry Stevie I wouldn't know about possible delays - my Mrs got hers iirc in 2007 she was here on a work permit and qualified on the then residency period.

Would it be worth considering using the Settlement Checking Service ?

Hi Ded I am in fact using the settlement checking service as I think this just makes you feel more assured that you have got everything in order

That's my thinking Steve that it must be safe but nothing surprises me anymore with ukba :NoNo:

TBH you're probably more at risk from the shower of sh1t employed here than over the docs sent to the Phils

You could well be right Ded....I will ask the settlement checking services advice tomorrow

Statistics indicate that UKBA processing of ILR that has been through the checking service is faster.
