Indefinite leave to Remain

[Terpe]

An update....

So…….. a positive result in the end

After a 117 day wait (almost 17 weeks), this morning we received the ILR….. and it’s pretty obvious how or why the delay has occurred.

My wife’s got TWO Indefinite Leave to Remain visas in her passport !

One in her single name, which has three thick CANCELLED stamps across it, and one in her married name.

Oh what fun we’re going to have crossing international borders in the future.

Well, firstly congrats to you both and well done

You'll have no problems with that.
Unfortunately such errors are not as uncommon as we'd all think. Or expect!

Celebrations are due

Any excuse for me

its not uncommon for UKBA to issue the wrong visa, visas with spelling mistakes, but issuing 2 is pretty rare

good news in the end thou

Nice to see it arrive eventually .

Amazing with the errors. Interestingly, when my wife received her spouse visa she was advised to check it thoroughly and the reason was simply that the UKBA have been known to make errors in the past.

... the biometrics card SHOULD be returned - along with your passport - when you're granted ILR.
