Hello, As you recommended this service ... did it work in your case? I am currently going through the application process and I went through the settlement checking service. I just wondered if it helped anyone in terms of making the application faster?
Thank you

Hi, we did our ILR on the 25th oct, we did it premium, paid 1377 pounds, and got the ILR granted on the same day, and the biometric card will arrive by courier in next couple of days... easy peasy, recommend that way to anyone, no waiting and worrying, it just shows if u pay it can be done extremely quickly, as was the case with me.... we also paid 50 pound for checking service just to check my setm form... didnt really need that cos i filled in correctly....

I also heard of someone else getting ILR the same day, that way. They got the initial nod within an hour.

my wife got her ILR biometric style card yesterday, just 4 working days after the interview, and yes we were given the nod about an hour or so after the interview.. and the whole appointment was like travelling business class on a plane, so polite so nice so attentive.. shows u what the extra few hundred pound does.... money talks.......!!!!!

So you went through the settlement checking service? How long did it take you from the date you did your biometric to receiving your letter of visa confirmation?
