Dear Magsi Congratulations on your seccess. As I mentioned in my previous posts, I complete 10 years on 28th Oct 2009. I have seen on the IDI document with regard to 10 yr rule, I can apply 28 days before completing 10 yrs. However, I spoke to 3 solicitors and they suggested me to apply on or after ...

Thanks Minny and Magsi. I am reassured by hearing the experience of minny, applying 28 days before. I am all gearedup to apply for 1st Oct, for which I need to start phoning HO from mid August. I hope my SAR comes before that and in person application facility for 10 yr ILR still available by that d...

Dear All I have requested for SAR file, hopefuly I will receive it on time. IDI for long residency ILR states that we can apply 28 days prior to completion of qualifying period. However, when I spoke to two immigration solicitors, they adviced me to apply on completion of 10 years rather than 28 day...

Dear Magsi Regarding your question about seperate spread sheet for absences, my friend wrote on the SET(O) form on appropriate space provided and after completing the space provided in SET(O) form, she continued on a seperate sheet to complete the remaining list of absences ( she had about 20 short ...

Dear Iboro & Magsi My friend went to PEO Croydon. She currently on HSMP/Tier1 which was valid for about couple more years. Absolutely no gaps at all in her visas in the PP. Her immigration history is Permit free to start with (I think from 1999 and somewhere end of 2006 went on HSMP, by this dat...

Dear Magsi/Raj/Iboro As promised, I just wanted to share my friend's experiance at PEO today for ILR under 10 yr rule. She had appt at 9am, but went in early 8am. Paid the required fees. The case worker took only PPs, KOL, photographs along with SET(O). Did not take payslips, bank statements or P60s...

Dear Raj2007 Thanks for sharing your experience o SAR. I really appreciate all of you contribute lots of useful information on this forum. Best of luck. When I have my friend's ilr result tomorrow, I will post the experiance at PEO and outcome of application, so that it may be useful to all of you w...

Dear Iboro and Magsi Thanks for your suggestions. My friend wanted to change tomorrow's appt because she had a job interview in Birmingham on the same day. Obviousley priorty was ILR, she decided to keep ILR appt and loose job interview (has current job going, but interview was for job with career p...

Magsi Many thanks for your reply. Is far as I understand iI do not have any gaps in my visas. Visa/LTR are as follows: Entered as visitor 28 oct 1999 (Visa vilid until 04/2000) In country LTR application as dependent was refused on 14 Dec 1999 From 20th January 2000 till 11 July 2011 continious LTR,...

Dear Magsi I also had seen the same rumour earlier on thisforum. The fact that you and Iboro got appt in August, the in person appts still available. Hopefully, when I due to apply in Oct I will be able to apply in person. Please advice, what is the procedure to get SAR from HO. It is worth having a...

Dear Iboro Many thanks for the information which is reassuring. As I said in my last post, I did not check with the HO myself. But two immigration solicitors told me this today when I phoned them for advice. Also one of my friend has ILR appt in person under 10 yr rule on 31st July, phoned HO to req...

Dear Minny
Many thanks. I consulted immigration solicitor, who said the same thing. They also told me the HO has stopped 10 ILR applications in person 2 weeks ago, infuture these applications have to be by post only. I have not confirmed this news myself.

Dear Minny I am in a similar situation as you for ILR. Came to UK as visitor 28 Oct 1999 (6 months validity visitor visa). In Nov/Dec 1999, in country refusal of LTR as dependent. Stayed as visitor until I got permit free on 24th Jan 2000. 24 Jan 2000 to 26th July 2006 permit free 27th July 2006 to ...

Dear bhayankar
You submit your all P60s for the qualifying period and last 3 months payslips (instead of bank statements).
Best of luck

Dear Iboro Thanks for your comments. Perhaps, I would have misunderstood paragraph 2 of 1.1 in IDI chapter 18 as no appeal rights for refusal of ILR under 10 year lawful residency. Thanks for letting me know. Also, according to section 3.1 of IDI, I understand, if 10 year lawful residency is met and...

Dear lboro I looked at the IDI for long residence to prepare mine and my wife's appl. IRL under 10 year long residency is discretionary leave, but generally no problems to get (as per IDI info) provided: 10 years lawful residence. One gap up to 10 days OK Absences from UK (Not gap), max 18 months in...

Dear lboro
Many thanks for your reply with the eligible dates for ilr appointment. I will take appointment for ILR accordingly.
Thanks

Dear Jigool
Many thanks for your reply and opinion. I will apply in person, aim to get appointment on 1st Oct (10 Years completion on 28th Oct). To get appt on 1st Oct, I will have to phone HO around 6 weeks before.
Many thanks

Dear RAJ2007 Yes, you can take telephonic appt for your wife as long as you have correct information of her such as name date of completion of 10yrs for long residency. Appts for 10 ILR are very limited, goesoff quickly. Start calling 2-3mts before opening time, preferably with a phone which has red...
