ILR granted or denied???

[kione]

Case to case basis you are so lucky if you got early. I will be about to apply mine soon. Its says there in the guide notes form the maximum period for visa approval is 14 weeks

why not apply in person? as long as you have everything with you and everything is fine, you get your visa the same day.
you have to pay £200 extra but thats nothing. Ive heard so much about people applying for their ILRs last year and most of them waited for atleast 5 months!! 2 of my friends waited for 7-8 months! so dont believe that 14 weeks quote they give.
its very unpredictable. so i suggest appearing in person is the best way! atleast thats what im doing in june..because i hate it when my passport isnt with me.

Remember though that there is still no guarantees it will be granted on the same day, so you could take a day off work, pay the extra £200 and the travelling costs to get there, and still not get to keep your passport.

For anyone who delayed their journey for more than 28 days (even if it was only a few days more) the same day service is not an option anyway.

it only wont be granted the same day if theres glitches in any of the documents . if you have all the documents ready clean and clear everything will be fine.
friends and cousins have done it just few months ago and all got it the same day. some friends didnt appear in person.. they sent their application august 2008 and still havent heard from them.

it is ones responsibility to apply 28 days before the expiry date. the first few days of that 28 days the better.


so in my opinion, i would take the chance in appearing in person pay what i have to pay and get over it.
IF they tell me they cant give it to me asap, one CAN complain about it as you paid an extra 200 quid. show them the rules they set about paying extra charges. im definitely printing it out just incase.
The only thing that would stop me from complaining is, if they have a valid reason on why they cant give my visa the same day. (ie. lack of documents etc )

Some people do not have that option. Anyone who came to the UK on a spouse visa 2 years ago will not be able to apply 28 days prior to their visa expiring. Exactly when they would be able to apply would depend on how long after their visa was issued did they travel.

I'm not saying you won't get it the same day, but they don't commit to a same day service for 100% of premium applications, and they can just use the excuse that they need to make further enquries.

yep 7-8 months. theres a forum somewhere all about ILR applicants..
and they have put up a list of 2008 applicants on when they sent their application and when they recieved it.. most of them took months.,.. the worst ones 7-8 months.

note: these are applicants from all over the world not just filipinos.

Wish I can but I am working and 25 weeks pregnant and with 11 months old baby plus I live far from where you have to apply in person. So its not easy as you said.

Well, they clearly stated that in the guide notes form 14 weeks
