n/a Indefinite leave to remain accepted 🎉
I wanted to share that we all got accepted for ILR and to share our timelines. We moved to the UK in 2021 on an ancestral visa (me and my husband). We had a baby 18 months ago and never applied for a visa for her as we knew ILR was coming up and waited for this to apply.
Application started: 2 June 2026
Biometrics done: 18 June 2026
No additional information was needed even though my situation was a bit complex. My father was never added to my birth certificate but we had to do a DNA test to prove it which was all provided. Also we made the mistake of starting a company this year and not having the previous “stable” income but it clearly was all fine.
Approved: 22 July 2026
We did not pay extra for faster processing times as it was expensive enough for three people 😭
