[wrigglybum]

hello everyone, im applying for indifinite leave to remain...and my document has been sent w/ my application the other day a bit of a drama all this things specially when u got a hubby who hate forms anyway he was the one that got so stress bout all the things.... passing my life in the uk test and finally completting my application and sending it.... just wonder if its common to an english man thou' lol anyway my hubby wakes me up at 5am this morning saying the 750 fees for the application has been credited out our account so they must of recieve my application yesterday then, now im all worried bout it i wonder how long would it take before i hear anything bout it. my hubby were already thingking bout wots going to be our next step after this application is granted coz we aint got a clue'......

Often people do hear within 4 weeks or so, but don't worry if you don't as they do sometimes take longer.

Your next step after ILR is British Citizenship which you can apply for after you've been in the UK 3 years (which is usually 6 to 12 months after you get granted ILR). You don't currently have to apply for British Citizenship, but in my opinion it's definitely worth doing.

for a spouse visa..
you need to be in the uk 2years (- up to 28 days) and pass the life in uk test before you can apply for ILR, and after having ILR for 1 yr you can apply for citizenship.

if you cannot apply for ILR because your visa will expire b4 you have been in the uk 2yrs (- up to 28 days) or you cannot pass the life in uk test in time, then you will probably have to apply for FLR, which might last til you have been in the uk 2yrs or for up to 2yrs if you could pass the life in uk test

[wrigglybum]

like what joeblogs says ross, when your granted or your wife with spouse visa, she/he need to be in the uk for 2 years before the person with the visa can apply ILR needed to be within 28 days before your visa expire you have to apply FOR ILR, but..... you have to take the ''THE LIFE IN THE UK TEST'' first. before you do, its needed in the application and you better do it early a few months before you apply depends on you.

you have to apply ILR AND WHEN YOUR GRANTED YOU CAN APPLY FOR BRITISH CITIZENSHIP AFTER 3 YEARS SETTLING IN THE UK

[wrigglybum]

you will have yours soon mrs daddy you been waiting for 10 weeks you say? well a lil bit more wont hurts lol gooluck

jay&zobel good luck on your application, yeah amazing how quickly they take £750 in our account lol
