For those waiting for ILRs
Feb 13 2011 12:28 PM | Tony in Indefinite Leave to Remain
Indefinite leave to remain (ILR) is an immigration status granted to a person who does not hold right of abode in the United Kingdom (UK), but who has been admitted to the UK without any time limit on his or her stay and who is free to take up employment or study, without restriction.When indefinite leave is granted to persons outside the United Kingdom it is known as indefinite leave to enter (ILE). In this thread about ILR waiting times, members of UKresident.com discuss waiting times for their ILR applications and share experiences and provide tips and advice. The thread has contributions from top UK immigration consultants so well worth a read. The thread is kicked off by Hal001 who writes: Quote Seems like most people are waiting for an average of 8 weeks for their ILRs. Why is it taking UKBA such a long time to process applications? The UKBA website states that waiting times should average 2- working days. Has anyone waited for more than 8 weeks? The tread has received 3,559 replies so far and has been viewed over 167,000 times.

 robinrobin Jul 22 2010 09:28 AM  Pekas Aug 02 2010 04:21 PM I am so sorry to hear this. I wish I could help, but, unfortunately I am swimming in the some pool. I also applied in Feb 2010. rang 2-3 times inquiring about the outcome as my boss has been right on my neck. I was told, on all occusions, they were still working on my application. only 4 days i go, after 6months, i received all my documents with a covering letter telling me my bank rejected the payment. they want me to use the new form and pay new charges, only if my immigration status still allows me to apply. my visa exprired 3 months ago, when they were still sitting on my application. as it is, i have to go thru legal measures.
 twana Sep 11 2010 04:28 PM 41 weeks waiting,and still no sign of it
 asjolo Sep 14 2010 10:27 PM after 6.5 month of wait i got refused because i hade been rejected twice back in 2007 and cost me 9 month of wait after i v been accepted on the 3rd application and these 9month ukba considering it as gap in my 10 years residency even if i were living in uk that period
and i can not appeal Sad after all that long 10yr.8 month i got this please help if any one got similar case and wont again?  minty Mar 11 2011 04:17 PM am a British Citizen, married to an Indian National. We have been married for almost seven years, but have been living in the United States during this time. It is our intention to return to the UK to settle. Am I correct in understanding that, since we have been married for more than four years, he is eligible to apply directly for ILR status without having to meet the two-year residency requirements? If not, what are his options for entering the UK as my spouse, and being able to work? Thanks for your help in providing clarification on this.
 peterm123 Jun 08 2011 02:47 AM Hi Guys, I wonder if anyone can help me with this pressing query. I have been in the UK for 13 years 6 months approaching the 14 year so looking to get as much info on the 14 year ILR. I came as a student in 1998 and regularly renewed my visa up until the 2008 when I applied for 10 year ILR but failed as there was a few days - 1 week gap in renewing my visa in 1999. I appealed but failed too. I have been waiting on for the 14 year window but was issued with the ISI151A last year october 2010 and asked to report every 2 months which I have been doing so. Will this now affect my eligibilty for 14yr ILR? If so how can I go about dealing with it? Can the case resolution directorate help, and how do I approach them. I very much appreciate your contribution.
peterm123 Jun 08 2011 02:50 AM BTW Am a Kenyan national. Thanks
 babazero Jun 11 2011 12:21 PM The IS151A stops the clock and you will not be eligible for the 14 year rule.Seek legal help asap.A good barrister could argue that the IS151A is unfair and wrong and you should be issued with ilr.

There were no gaps in my application, backed up by the Information requested by me from Freedom of information, that detailed the timely applications made. I sent in payslips, and bank statements for the 6 months period, however, there is no answer to date. My visa has expired as well during the waiting time, Why does it take such a long time?
Shhould there not be an independent body to review the home office's working practice? Are there applicants in similar position? What can be done to request for the fast tracking of the application given the fact thhat it has already taken 6 months now?
