He had discretionary leave to remain up to March 2014.

The FLR in October 2014 was denied as they said he was not the sole carer for his 1-year old son and that his son can adapt if he leaves the UK.

So basically they dismissed his right to family life with no right of appeal.

I had leave to remain in the UK until 5th March 2014. On the 4th February 2014 I made an application for indefinite leave to remain (ILR) under the settlement protection route as a dependent of my wife who had been recognised as a refugee. On the 9th July I received a ‘notice of decision’ headed ‘R...

Hi. My wife successfully applied for ILR in December 2012.

Thanks for the advice.

Your child will be free from Immigration controls after s/he becomes British. For avoidance of doubt, I will ask directly... My daughter's visa expires in about a week's time. She was born in the UK in 2005. In 2011 I successfully applied for ILR. Do I need to submit my daughter's MN1 application b...

Congratulations casonny! I'm sure you're glad your ordeal is finally over.

Mine was probably a fluke, but 2 weeks ago on Monday 29th Oct, I logged on at about 8am...and kept refreshing the page every 5 mins or so while I was doing my work...and at about 10am an appointment came up at Croydon for Friday 2nd Nov. I selected it and quickly gave required information and succes...

Hi there
They took 2-3 working days to reply when I emailed them. Hope you get a speedy response and a prompt resolution to your case.
Regards

Success at Croydon! Finally! Thank you all for the advice!

Unfortunately I'm unable to shed any further light on your case memyself&I. For anyone who's been following my story and is in a similar predicament, I've written and received a reply from the UKBA Settlement Ops Team and their advice concurs with the advice I've been given here. Email extracts ...

Thank you very much for sharing your story hemalay!!! Me and my wife are in exactly the same situation!!! Could you please provide me with further information on what exactly you wrote under your reasons for using form SET (O)? My wife's application has been refused twice now (Glasgow & Solihull...

Thank you Vinny. So there doesn't appear to be a direct route to my wife gaining settlement except via appeal...such a shame really. I wonder if the UKBA will treat the SET (O) application as valid or invalid. If they treat it as invalid, i.e. with no right to appeal, that will really throw a spanne...

*bump*

Any new thoughts, advice or help on this?

Have you spoken to any lawyers or approached the ukba to apply for your wife at all? The ukba have withdrawn the feature on their website for the public to ask questions on immigration rules so I'm lost.

My wife attended Solihull PEO this morning to attempt to apply for ilr on set (o). She was armed with paragraph 196D. No good news I'm afraid. The cw said this paragraph refers to work permit holders who applied for ilr at the end of their 5 years not work permit holders who got ilr through long res...

Just thought I would write a hopefully short post to answer the questions that many people have asked as to who the changes will apply to Some key points about the changes. 1. The new rules will primarily only affect those who apply for leave as a spouse/CP/unmarried partner/fiance of a settled per...

one last que, do you think my wife stands a chance @ all . she's all nervous now due to her experience in glasgow. She's worried they might insist she use the flr(m) form.

She needs to apply for ilr on form set(o) not set(m) Im sorry Greenie I don't mean to be a pest, but I thought to apply on form set (o) she would have to be in the uk for 10 years which is not the case as she's been here for 8 yrs. Please clarify on what basis can she apply on set form(o). Im panic...

Let me add a bit more information pertaining to my case. I came to the UK in 2001 under a 5 year study visa. My wife joined me in 2004 as a student dependent and my daughter was born (in the UK) in 2005. In 2006, whilst the study visa was still valid, I successfully applied for Fresh Talent (Scotlan...

Thanks for the prompt response. Is my interpretation correct that my spouse and child are able to apply for ilr immediately? I got my ilr through 10 years long residence last October. Today my spouse attended Glasgow peo to apply for ilr under set (m). the io informed her that she should have applie...

I was granted ILR under the long residence route. Prior to this, I was on a Work Permit (not PBS) and my wife and child were my dependants on the WP. Having read section 287(a)(i)(d) and 287(a)(i)(e) which make reference to partners of migrants who are now present and settled but have moved from Poi...

OMG!!! I've got my ILR today!!! Can't describe how I feel! Thanks to immigrationboards for all the info and support! This is my first post here, but I've been following u for ages :) Will post my details and timeline below, think it might help others. Came to this country 17/10/2001 as a student th...
