Hello everyone! finally found this thread! I have posted this information on a new thread but I thought I'd post this here as well. I recently applied for ILR SET(M) visa at Solihull PEO last May 15, 2014. The whole process took 2 hours and 30 minutes. Visa was approved. What surprised me was the waiting time for my new biometric card. I was told it would arrive 7-10 days and I just received mine today, that is the 4th day from my application not counting Saturday and Sunday. Very efficient indeed!

Steff Got her fiancée visa, took 4 weeks , was told recent applications are 5-6 weeks so thanks too all for your help especially Peters great patience with us. The application was worrying because of lack of some proof in income documents, but the forums recommendation of medivisa was spot on to help provide support , and explanatory letter advice.
thankyou all for your help

Hi everyone.. would like to share my good news. My wife and stepson had their settlement visa applications approved! Documents returned yesterday and both passports have said visa inside. Feel ecstatic..18 months of unbelievable stress and turmoil has finally come to an end. Here's my timeline of events:

Applications applied online: 29 April 2015
Applications and biometrics submitted at VAC center in Manila 20 May 2015
Email from British Embassy saying decision has been made 01 July 2015
Email from VAC center saying documents will be returned 02 July 2015
Documents received via courier service to Palawan 03 July 2015

So all in all, about six weeks from submitting our documents to receiving our visas. Much quicker than I had anticipated!

Congratulations to you all, you can proceed forward now, well done!
