John:
Waiting for your response if you get a minute!

Not sure I understand. Your wife's FLR(M) form has already been submitted? Were you claiming CB and TCs at the time? If no, then clearly that is how the form would have been completed. But if the form FLR(M) has not yet been submitted .... what's the delay? .... there really is no issue here about ...

I think they would ask that because a CB claim can possibly be backdated a maximum of three months. However, let's say someone got their ILR one month ago, well the backdating would possibly not go earlier than when they got their ILR, hence the need for the question. I agree to the above but can y...

I guess I did not get the maintenance undertaking drift that is the reason why I was asking. I suspect that a maintenance agreement has not been signed, so the quote you provided is not in play. Just to let you know some of the links in your old post on this subject are no longer working and would ...

Can you provide a link to Reg 3(2) that you often quote and Rule 6B of the immigration Rule/Act since I do not seem to find it? The Tax Credits (Immigration) Regulations 2003 and 6B. A person shall not be regarded as having recourse to public funds if he is a person who is not excluded from specifi...

jes2jes, you post a section starting "People who are subject to a maintenance undertaking". But why is that relevant here? Has a maintenance undertaking been signed? Vinny, thanks for posting those links. I confirm that a read of the Tax Credits (Immigration) Regulations 2003 will show th...

John: This is a quote from the HRMC website: People who are subject to a maintenance undertaking A claimant whose leave to enter, or remain in, the United Kingdom (UK) is subject to a maintenance undertaking (sometimes known as 'sponsored immigrant') is normally excluded from WTC and CTC as a person...

Thank you. And how can I convince him that the business will indeed pay for my studies? I thought the letter signed by the directors of the company would suffice. I guess you should go back and read what the refusal letter says. All the things Mr Rusty addressed is clearly stated in the letter. Loo...

You are still on track for your 10 year ILR - assuming the rules do not change before 2010. I guess we can only be sure about this if the OP applied for the renewal before the expiry of the LTR and the HO does not have any gap in the OP's history. I will advise the OP to make a SAR request as the f...

I did not know that paulp about writing to the secretary of state, thanks for that. So who is she? :? I send the letter / case to her directly or to Home Office? At what address is she - if directly? Ooops, instead of secretary of state, it should have been the Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith. http://...

I'm just saying that the fact you arrived in the UK without any leave is different to TT. It's not wrong, just different. It would be good to argue in court all the points you have given. I totally agree with that. A further thought I have had is that if the conclusion is any different to that in t...

Many congratulations jes2jes! A great result. But let's just summarise the TT case, as I see it. The Home Office argued that because TT returned to the UK with a different valid visa to the one that she had left on, there had been a break in the continuity. However the QC acting for TT showed that ...

I know that this would come up so I am posting the letter I sent to BIA for anyone who would use the TT route. All the best! [quote]I am making an application for Indefinite Leave to Remain under HC 395 paragraphs 276A – D as amended by HC 538 (Chapter 18 of IDI – Long Residency). I entered the ...

A print out from GCID would show date of submission of each application for renewal and it will also say whether the application was in-time or out of time.

hi people, am writing this topic on behalf of my friend, i will use "I" instead of "him" so as to avoid complicating things. here "I" go: I came to UK in 1998, was here as a student for 7 years, then in 2005 I applied to WorKPermitsUK for a WP whilst I still had 1 mont...

William, I knew of this case but I have not read it for a long time. The highlighted portion is what caught my eye. The only thing is that, your leave expired whilst you were abroad but you are a person from a visa free country so you could argue that out. I guess the only thing that you can do is t...

William Blake: First of all, thanks for your appreciation. I would definitely respond to your PM later tonight. Based on your post above, I will advisee you to read the following case from AIT's website: 00031_ukait_2006_os_hongkong This would answer all the questions you have posted above since the...

Thanks Vinny. You are a star

I know you have worked your magic on my first post in providing the links. I have not yet worked out how the BB Codes and yet I am into IT!

man it is. I had few tears.

Looking forward to Naturalisation before the new rules kick in!

Dear All (expecially Vinny my man): Just want to say that, God has smiled upon me and I am celebrating my ILR approval under the LRC . Sent off docs on the 4th of July and was issued on the 8th of August. 22 working days. If you remember, I had a fresh leave granted whilst one was existing whilst ov...

Hi All!
Just to let you know that, I have today by God's grace receive my ILR. This is because, I had a renewal once overseas but the BIA still allowed this.

Wonderful news indeed!

Hi All!

Can any of you post a link to the 7 year concession IDI?
I want to know the impact of a removal notice on this concession.
I need to know this to inform someone in a similar situation.

Thanks.

Hi Guys and Gals! Just being wondering what has happened to some of our prominent posters and contributors on this board. I will just list a few I can remember as a matter of memory jogging. If they are around please send my love to them: - Dawie - Avi Jones - Chess - Rogerroger - Archigabe - Kayala...

jes2jes Thanks for the reminder. I think the 14 year concession was running for a while alongside the 14 year rule and someone slipped through on this via the AIT with an incomplete 14 year period. Now its just the rule. Ah well... Wanderer, The 10 year rule wouldn't have applied with only a 6 mont...

Just a quick one to 'educate' everyone making mention of a 14-year concession. The Long Residency Concession is now enshrined in the Immigration Rules and no longer a concession. If you qualify for it, you would be awarded ILR. Please the only concession I can think of in the current Immigration Act...
