Cheers Rambo. As for documenattion, wow! we had a nicely written cover letter describing all the points in there - i iwll post that cover letter contents later somtime. But, as for posting out an ILR application: In spite of the posts recommedning me to send out an ILR application in post, i want to...
Yes, i am now thinking of applying for FLR (M) - yes the limited leave for spouses, as extension. But in the PEO, when i asked them about this option, they said to me that they will not accept the FLR request. They said they will send back your FLR request and ask you to apply for ILR by post. That ...
Cheers Busubi. Nope, i don;t think i have any EU route, since i am only a British citizen and i work in UK. I f probably i was working in any other EU country, i could have got an EEA family permit for my wife and would have taken her with me there and which would also let her come to UK ( i guess)....
Yes It was a successes but considering the out come of yours i didn't want gloat. Very nice of you there, busubi!!! Defenitely, i am happy for you guys! :-) As for my wife, i am just thinking of applying for FLR(M) by post, not sure if she can apply for that though (and we have decided not to go fo...
But after she failed the ILR, they denied all knowledge of saying that they said that! Now she is meant to leave the country! So, from what has happened to your wife, i gather this: They will advise the spouse to apply for ILR through post. They will take their time until her current visa expires, ...
Cheers busubi. Yes, ia am very dissappointed. :-( Since they claim they take all these abscence from UK as outside rules, i don't understand why SET(M) (in section 6, note 4) asks the applicant to explain why she was away form UK and provide evidence of contact with her spouse? I collected so much e...
In effect, what i am asking is this: Since my wife is completing her spouse visa on the 5th April (although she has been in teh UK with me for only 18 months), can she apply for FLR(M) for another 2 years? If so, i wll see if can get another appointment for in-person application (this time for FLR(M...
Hi Guys, My wife is completing her 2 year spouse visa on teh 5th April. We tried for an ILR but were not sucessful, since my wife was away to India for 5.5 months in this 2 year spouse visa period. Now my question is, can we simply apply for FLR (M) 2 years visa (spouse visa) before her current LTR ...
Good luck to you and your husband, Clairy :-) A generic questionto all: Now that we are deciding to not stay for long in UK, do we have an option to simply apply for an FLR(M) directly, say for 2 years if possible, other wise for that just 6 months, instead of again trying to apply for ILR through p...
Limey wrote: The application was done by post as they said it was too complicated to be done via interview! Hi Limey, So are you saying that having applied for ILR in post, your wife's ILR request was rejected??? - and then what happened? Did they not automatically issue an FLR for the 1.5 years to...
Cheers Docterror. Yep, i will take a while to digest this :-) since i had spent soo much time meticulously documenting stuff and every day i used to put myself in a caseworker's shoes and reviewed our documentation and i was pretty happy with it! Anyway! ;-) As for our future, i guess our decision w...
Hi guys, Its bad news!!!! :-( My wife's ILR application was not even considered and the girl at the reception was very very very very rude to us! The moment she saw that my wife was away to India for 5.5 months, she said she was not happy to process this application and asked us to leave the office!...
Anybody who recently applied for Spouse ILR... can you please let me know how many documents you handed over to the caseworker. This will help me actually keep only those minimum number of items, rather than keep all of the documents across the 2 years. My wife's appointment is tomorrow morning! :-)...
Hi All, My wife's ILR application appointment date is comming up next week. We have all the evidence folders sorted out, arranged clearly, marked by years: 2005 - 2006 and 2006 - 2007. As for the unique official sources d ocumentation, we have nine unique official sources, addressed to us in joint n...
Hmmm... sorry to hear about that! :-( Now, i am thinking, if ILR rejected, why not your apply for a FLR (for 2 more years maybe!) as a Spouse visa and then attempt for ILR again at the end of that 2 years! But in any case, i have never heard of any case succeeding, based on appeals with UK immigrati...
Hi, Yes, like John advised, please post it tomorrow positvely! And one quick question: You say they found small mistakes. Can you please explain/describe what those small mistkaes were, so others can remember not to make those mistakes. My wife is applying for ILR next week :-) and although we have ...
... and it feels really funny to note that the officer did not even know the basic immigration rule that application for sorting out an expiring visa, will be refused if one applied before 28 days of its expiry date!!! Appalling, indeed! And these are the kind of immigration officers/inspectors we h...
So do we need to carry our Passport with us all the time?? I guess so, because how else will one be able to prove their entitlement to be in Britain otherwise. There is no ID card at the moment, and the legal immigrants don't want to be carrying around just their WP/HSMP approval letters alone, sin...
Hmm... if the story in http://www.newstatesman.com/200411220004 is true, then i wonder how an average resident can trust another person iun order to show his passport / ID card, when that other person (apparently an Immigration service person) does not even say or prove who he is????? How are we to ...
Well, that is nothing compared to what will be in the future. Once the ID card system is in place, police officers will be stopping and asking for ID check very frequently. Any foreign looking face (even if he is a British citizen) will be stopped and asked for ID at least 10 times in a day, i suspe...
