Hi All,


I know you have had a lot of these emails, but I would like to get some peoples personal experiences if possible, just so I can gage how long I can expect to wait.


I have completed my 2 years under the spouse visa, passed my life in the UK test and sent off my application for indefinite leave to remain.


So this is where I am sitting, I received a letter 3 day’s after I sent my application through to confirm it had been received by the home office stating they would contact me if they required any further information from me, I have now been waiting 5 weeks to hear anything back.


I did call at the 20 working day mark hoping I might have made it into the 70% of applications processed in that time, but was told I could not query the status before the 14 week mark?


On average how long have most people had to wait?


Sorry to be a pain and thanks

Yes, you have to be very patient with the applications that you send by post. My wife had to wait for at least 15 weeks. So you never know how long it will take them to issue your your visa!
