After of months getting together the documents, travelling to the Settlement Checking Service in Dudley (we have to go there twice due to some documents issues) and being emotionally unstable... we finally got the positive answer for my ILR application.

application submitted: nov. 23, 2011
application received: nov. 25, 2011
received an acknowledgment letter: nov 29, 2011
passed ILR: Jan 5, 2012
received the stamped passport: Jan 12, 2012

Thanks for this forum, I was able to get some ideas and important info regarding my ILR application.

Hoping on October, my citizenship application will have the same positive results. Best regards!
