Appreciate everyone’s guidance here ; please advise -
- VISA granted on 9-Feb-2009
- Entered UK on 24-Apr-2009
Should I apply for LR ILR today? Or, should I apply post 24-Mar-2019?
(Considering 28 days prior to completion of 10 years clause)
Many thanks Zimba (as always). We have passed our LIUK and IELTS B1 level exams and now preparing to file for the ILR application. My wife got her first UK VISA stamped on 09-Feb-2009, however, she entered UK on 24-Apr-2009. So, with regards to the calculation of 10 years stay, is she eligible to fi...
Hi All, Could someone please help clarify if there are any “financial requirements” associated with the SET(LR) application while applying for ILR on Long Residence basis? Are there any minimum salary threshold, or, bank balance, etc. requirements to be satisfied by the applicant? Appreciate all the...
Many thanks vinny for the feedback. Though, my confusion is - as I have completed my 10 years and can apply using SET(LR) today ; however, will this impact the current PBS Dependent visa (valid until Dec 2021) for my wife? - I am assuming once I inform my employer regarding the change in my visa sta...
Many thanks Zimba for the feedback. Does it mean that she has to apply under SET(LR) “before” I (main applicant) could apply? And, do I also use SET(LR) or something different for my own ILR LR application?
Hi, I have got my Tier 2 ICT Long Term Leave To Remain visa renewed for until Dec 2021. And so is my wife (PBS Dependent Leave To Remain). Can my wife apply “independently” (on her own account) for ILR on Long Residence basis (SET LR) which will be due in March 2019? I have read forums saying a PBS ...
Thanks CR001. Am I referring to a wrong link - https://www.gov.uk/uk-family-visa/partner-spouse To apply as a partner, you and your partner both need to be 18 or over. Your partner must also either: 1.. be a British citizen 2.. have settled in the UK (they have ‘indefinite leave to remain’ or proof ...
Thanks CR001. My intention here is not to contradict, but, to clarify my understanding. [For my spouse] As per - https://www.gov.uk/uk-family-visa/partner-spouse To apply as a partner, you and your partner both need to be 18 or over. Your partner must also either: 1.. be a British citizen 2.. have s...
Also, ... assuming if all 3 of us continue on our T2 ICT visas (assuming we will get another extension prior to it's current expiry in Dec 2018) and my family also complete their 10 year LR period in Mar 2018. Do my spouse and child still have to apply for FLR(M) ; instead of ILR application (alike ...
Again thanks CR001 for your swift feedback. One last query - my son will be completing 'continuous' stay of 7 years in UK in Apr 2018. Is there any provision to seek ILR; either, for my son, or, for all of us combined; to seek ILR on that basis. Actually, I'm confused as to when my spouse & chil...
Many thanks CR001 for you swift feedback. As I stated the current visa that we hold (T2 ICT & PBS Dependent) is valid until Dec 2018. So, I guess, there is no other option for my spouse & child, but, to apply for FLR(M) - is this correct? Does FLR(M) - gives them ILR status, or, again someth...
Hello, I shall be completing my 10 year long residency on Nov 2018. However, my spouse and child shall achieve the same in Apr 2019. At present our visa is stamped until Dec 2018. Here are my queries - a) if I apply for my ILR in Oct 2018 (assuming it gets approved) ; what happens to visa for my fam...
Hello, I was granted T2 Established Staff visa in March 2011, and, since then I am in UK, with the same employer. Now, I have got an opportunity to change sponsor and go for T2 General visa. My query is regarding the 6 year cap. Does this period start from - a) March 2011 (when I was first granted T...
Hi Manci, My CoS for T2 ICT ES was submitted on 25- Mar-2011 Application Fees was paid on 30-Mar-2011 Visa was stamped as valid from 8-Apr-2011 (as T2 ICT ES) Visa was stamped as valid until 8-Apr-2013 I entered UK on 24-Apr-2011 First visa extension for 1 year to T2 ICT LTS on 25-Mar-2013 Second vi...
Hi Manci/ Amber, I was under the impression that 5 year limit was not applicable in my case as my first grant of visa was in the 'Established Staff' category....Any suggestions please? Hi Manci/ Amber, please if you could review and provide feedback so that I could go back to my employer? Thank you.
Hi Manci/ Amber, I was under the impression that 5 year limit was not applicable in my case as my first grant of visa was in the 'Established Staff' category. My visa have been extended twice until now (once in Mar-2013 and second time in Mar-2014) from within UK itself. The category of my visa is n...
Hi Manci I checked the original WE and ME is no where mentioned. Under conditions governing the issue of this permit (on the back side) , on point 9 it states ... MEWP, TUES and SMS permits are indicated in the top left hand corner of the permit. But no such wordings are mentioned on my WP. Also on ...
So for the long residence , will my continuous stay be counted from Dec 2008 (when I came for the first time on WP) or from April 2011 (when I came on T2 ICT ES)?
Hi Manci, I was reading the Long Residence and Private Life guidance and came across Examples of Continuous Residence section on page 16. Example 2 A person enters the UK on 1 September 2004 with entry clearance as a student which is valid until 31 October 2005. On 25 October 2005, before the previo...
Thanks Manci. Yes, my visa extension in April 2013 happened from within UK. Yes, my next visa extension in April 2014 will also happen from within UK. You quoted, no limit to the number of ICT extensions as I have T2 ICT (ES). So, it would mean that I could stay even beyond 5 years if my employer co...
