Set M Postal Processing times
« on: March 31, 2015, 03:59:54 PM »
Anyone have a clue as to timelines for the ILR (Set-M)?  I applied in February and are hoping to have our passports back for a trip home in September.

Thanks!

Last I saw, it was taking about 5 months (usually 6 is their processing standard time), so I imagine you should have it by sometime this summer.

My immigration journey is nearly over - now I just have to somehow come up with £1k for citizenship, lol! :D
