Been to Checking Service for ILR at Nottingham today, very simple and very quick and the lady who dealt with us was very nice. If you're a Spouse visa applicant they don't need Marriage certificate or Divorce papers also Birth certificates of either of us because British Embassy would have already supplied that information to the Home Office. The main thing was proof of living together in the UK and that the mail provided was evenly spread out over the two years you have resided together. I personally found it very easy to do the ILR documentation I just took my time and dealt with one page at a time, now the waiting begins but not worried at all, the lady who's name was 'Hannah' just said that it could be up to seventeen weeks before we receive anything so we'll just continue with our normal life until the ILR visa arrives, then book flight's to Cebu!

Nice job you both

Not many 'straightforward' ILR's have any problems.

I hope you'll hear some positive news sooner rather than later

Pleased to read all went well with Maritess's application, Michael.
17 weeks, though ... ! That's a helluva time to wait considering you used the NCS - which practically does the Home Office's job for them by checking applicants' documents.

Anyway ... ... at least you can relax for the duration - secure in the [certain] knowledge everything's shipshape.

Nice to hear Michael, good luck to you both.

Latest update is, £1093 has been removed from our bank today, so the staff at the Home Office have proved how efficient they are at obtaining funds from our bank accounts once again!

[stevewool]

Actually Michael I think that's a standard reply.

I would be most surprised if you found yourself waiting that long

Hope it'll be celebration time soon

Onwards and Upwards
