I am assuming I did not get any reply because no one is sure of the answer. This is what home office responded : "As long as a referee meets the above requirements, then there is not a problem. If they are out of the country for a time, as long as they meet the requirements of a referee then th...

I am trying to contact Home office, apparently there is no number I can ask these questions. I sent a mail but no respond.

Is it worth postponing the appointment ?

I do have one referee who was away from UK in the initial 3 months in the beginning of the last 3 years period.

Please help !!!

Any clue guys ?

Hi guys,

Is there any requirement for the referees signature to be not older than a month? Document doesn't say this. I have two referees signed the form in the period of last 1 month and I am planning to apply in the first week of January.

Thanks in advance!!!

Thanks Gyfrinachgar.

One of my friend is Director of a limited company (VAT registered) throgh which he is doing contracting for couple of years. He is on Tier 1 visa. Can he be my referee ?

I directly wrote to the caseworker, you'll find all details in the refusal letter. I would recommend writing a simple letter requesting to reconsider citing the point applies here. And give him/her 15-20 days to come back. This looks like a mistake by (may be) comparatively new caseworker. As far as...

Hi kna872, We are in the same situation. My wife's visa was refused citing the same reason. She sent a simple letter requesting to reconsider based on 287(a)(i)(d). My wife got call today from the caseworker admitting his mistake and he'll be sending letter confirming that in due course. Fingers cro...

Thanks sushdmehta !

Hi sushdmehta,

I am writing a letter to request to reconsider before taking any further step. Do I need to send all the documents again with the letter or the letter and copy of UKBA decision letter should be suffice ?

Thanks.

Thanks sushdmehta.

Is there any link where I can get more information about process and format of letter to reconsider, and/or JLR ? Or should I call UKBA to get more information ?

Thanks a lot in advance!!

Thanks mate. In absence of appeal right, what options we have ?

Hi, My wife's ILR refused. Timeline : She entered in UK : 30 Jan 2010 on Tier 1 Dependent She got extension in March 2011 on Tier 1 Dependent I got ILR in July 2011 She then got Spouse Visa in September 2011. And then she applied for ILR in May 2012. We thought she spent more than 2 years as partner...

Sorry for the Confusion here....

I am on ILR. My wife is on Partner Visa, she is applying for ILR now.

I wanted to check does she need to be in the UK for 2 years?

She was earlier Tier 1 General Dependent. Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Just wanted to double check guys, My wife entered UK in Feb 2010 on Tier 1 Dependent, later i got ILR and she moved to Dependent Visa which is valid for another year or so. But we want to apply it now, is she eligible ? I think 2 years is the limit, but at some places I see 27 months, what is that a...

Yeh, I meant ILR for Settled person ...

Hi, Ia m looking for the list of documents needed for Dependent ILR. In this case it is going to be my partner. It is being applied from UK, I am on ILR and she finished two years in UK as partner/Tier 1 Dependent visa in Feb 2012. Sorry this forum is bit different then others and could not find ful...

Hi Guys,

I am asking this question as few ppl have been advised differently in the forum. I have now got ILR, my wife is still on Tier 1 Dependent Visa.
Should I apply for FLR?
I asked this question to home office and still waiting for response.
We are planning to visit overseas in October as well.

Thanks guys, Also can we claim from any 15 months prior to application, so if I claim from June2010-May2011 will it be ok or it has to be from July 2010-June2011 as i earned £1000 more in June 2010 but both are on same BAND… I think as long as it comes within 15 months and more than last claimed ...

Based on my today's experience, it seems you may need to score more than last extension. I am not an expert though.
