Hi everyone,

I have just gone for my biometrics to be taken and now I wait for the decision for ilr.

I have gone for standard route and I'm unsure how long that would take. Does anyone have any recent experience on this please. Website says about 6months wait to hear back, just want to know of anyone else's experience.

I would come back to update once I've got a decision.

Thank you.

Thanks @newbie715 for creating this thread, I've been hunting for this information for a while now.

Thanks to everyone that has contributed to this thread.

I passed my life in the UK test yesterday.

Hoping to put in my application for ILR soon, would update the thread with the turn of events �

Spinardo:

Hi @Mystiqueefua please was your biometric appointment at Croydon? If no, please would you mind telling me where?
Hubby had his biometric on 3rd February at Croydon and we are yet to hear anything.

Sorry for late reply, my appointment was at Sheffield, cos I live there.

I just want to say thank you to everyone that take out time to post a reply. I have received my brp through th post with 30months validity. So here is my time line;


Online application: 18/01/2020
Biometric Enrolment: 24/01/2020
Additional Documents Request:Non
Biometric card received: 13/03/2020
Date on Biometric card: 09/03/2020

Spinardo:
Hello Good People,

Been some time. Time does fly past when you are having fun..... Lol. So that mystery member always on the sidelines watching events is here again and with some good news of course!

I applied and got my FLR (M) approved. Thanks to God and everyone on this forum that took time to share their experience and answer inquiries.

Completed the online form within the 1st 3 days of February and attended the Biometric session on 15th February.

Paid for super priority to get an outcome quickly and also waited till my initial FLR was almost expired to ensure that my new period will be inside of 5years and not less (upon expiry wrt ILR).

I got an email on Monday stating that my application was successful and an appreciation for using super priority....lol

List of documents submitted are outlined below:

Proof of Identity / Travel History
British Residence Permit for Applicant
Applicants' International passport (original) - Old and New
Spouse passport (Original)
Child's Birth Cert and Passport (Originals)

Proof of Application
Relationship Declaration
Consent for Applicant
Marriage certificate (Original)

Proof of Cohabitation
Tenancy Agreement
Sky/Virgin Correspondence
GP Letters
HMRC Correspondence
Utility bills
Bank Correspondence
* All of these were about 25 documents (the more the merrier)*

Finances
Letter from employer
Payslips for 6 months prior
Bank statements for 6 months prior highlighting salary payments for the previous 6 months
P60 for relevant period
Signed Contract of Employment

Educational/Proof of English language
English language test certificate A2

Other
Printout IHS payment
Printout IHS reference number
Printout UK visa application payment
Printout appointment confirmation

As I paid for scanning there, it was quite calm. Just kept passing the documents across and they got scanned as due. All of the documents were returned to me immediately and the personnel was courteous/pleasant irrespective of the number of documents (i think she may have seen worse...lol).

Paid quite a sum though but it was generally worth it as I feel I received value for money. Aside the IHS, Application Fee and Super priority payments, I also paid for scanning and for the appointment date/time

I am available for any questions that may aid others in the process of seeking their extension as I did some good reading on the side also.

Again, Thanks to God and y'all. We move to the next!

On another note, we should plan to hook up o as we have been catching up on this platform and it will be nice to put a face to these pseudonyms. I'd not be surprised if some of us have worked at the same establishments/project over time....Lol

Lexusgs430, Nakiemi, Bibra800, Justwise...too many people to mention! Hailings!!!

Congrats to you. I applied for mine on the 18th of Jan and did my biometrics on the 24th of Jan, still not received any response from them though as I did not pay for super priority. Would update here once I have received my BRP. My previous BRP officially expired yesterday. By God's grace I would get a positive response.

Good morning house, please I need advice on visa application. I want to submit an application for my mum to come to the UK as I am due to give birth soon. She has been to the UK once before and did not over stay.

In addition to the bank statements from my dad and an invitation letter from my husband and I, what other documents should I include in the application?

Thank you.

Thank you

Nakiemi:


Big congrats to you!!!

Yes oh. Thanks so much. Would drop something definitely. Lol

Lexusgs430:

Thanks to everyone who takes out time to answer questions from people. May God bless y'all.

You don't need to panic. If there's any concern they should have contacted you via email or phone call. For normal application you should exercise patience, it can sometimes take time. I'm sure you should hear from them before the end of this month.

Good day house. I've been following this thread for a while now. Please I have a question;

I applied for spousal visa(non-priority). I did my biometrics on the 24th of February. And my documents got to Sheffield on the 16th of March. This is the 12th week if I'm Counting from the date of biometrics. And I still haven't heard back from them. should i be panicking?


Thank you.

Normal application@tosine

tosine:
Did you apply through priority or normal application?
