I wanted to Share my ILR and FLR (M) success at PEO Croydon yesterday on 8th May 2012.........

These emails received from Ann above were completely wrong - you can apply within 28 days before the five years period. you should have valid visa for 4 years + 11 months + 2 days to apply for ILR...

I have THREE appointments:

SET(O) with one dependant AT 8:15 am on 8th MAY
FLR(M) at 8:50am on 8TH MAY

FLR(M) at 8am on 10th May

I booked SETO with one dependant but she has not completed two years in the UK...

Should I apply and pay for FLR on 8th or do you suggest going again on 10th MAy?

you are eligible for ILR on 18th May 2012...if you go on 16th may they will give you visa from that date...so your visa will not complete 4 years 11 months and 2 days necessary to apply for ILR....dont apply for extension before 15 days

Senior guys any advice please?

I believe you can apply on or after (First Visa start date + FIVE YEARS) - 28 days......provided you entered in the UK within three months of the start date. But how can you have more than five years visa....your first visa issued on 5th Sept 2007 until 5th Sept 2010 and should have next extension v...

Have explained but they simply say not valid, this is a family slot you booked and this appointment is not valid for single. So I am looking to find some workaround....I am not sure if we both can go and enter the security but I only pay for one applicant.

Why would they give you visa until 20 NOV 2013....not from 16 OCT 2010 till 16oct 2013?

I have managed to book an appointment for SET(O) with 1 dependant. After booking, I realised my dependant can not apply using SET(O) and she needs to fill FLR (M) after I get ILR. UKBA says they wont me let me in alone because my appointment is booked with one dependant. The appointment is next week...

COULD YOU PLEASE SUGGEST ??? WHY THEY ARE ALL SAYING APPLY AFTER FIVE YEARS OF RESIDENCE?

Hi khurramalvi,

Can you please confirm the visa dates on your passport? Tier1 general first and then extension.....Did you go in-person or send in post? If same day, which date did you go?

I emailed my query to SettlementOpsPolicy@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk and they sent me that I have to complete five years before settlement application - PLEASE READ FROM BOTTOM TO TOP: From: Settlement Ops Policy Mailbox <SettlementOpsPolicy@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk> Subject: RE: FAQ Date: Monday, 30 April,...

As Y-Pango suggested, I emailed my query to SettlementOpsPolicy@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk and they sent me that I have to complete five years before settlement application - PLEASE READ FROM BOTTOM TO TOP: From: Settlement Ops Policy Mailbox <SettlementOpsPolicy@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk> Subject: RE: FAQ D...

No, she entered in the UK in Jan 2012?

How was your experience Kshah? Did they accept your SET(O) and FLR(M) for your wife at the same time?

Did she have to meet the English language test level A1 for FLR or Life in the UK was OK?

Vinni, She has spent 4 months in the UK as tier1 dependant with me on the same address

Thank you - But what if the UKBA decides to hold my SET(O) application and does not process my ILR on the same day? How can I apply FLR(M) for my wife, her visa expires next day ?

Can I include my wife in SET(O) at Croydon who is in the UK for less than 2 years under tier1 dependant? I have completed five years HSMP + TIER1 (2+3) and am eligible for ILR but my wife has been in the UK for less than 2 years under tier1 dependant. I believe that the fees will be taken first befo...

Can you please suggest on the explanation to UKBA - they issues the tier1 extension on the day of same day application?

Y-Pango and Linkers sage, I did email to UKBA public enquiry but unfortunately had received a long list of general answers and not specific to my issue. I have a SET(O) appointment at Croydon on 8th May 2012. Please let me know should the explaination saying it was not my mistake issues tier-1 gener...

Thank you very much. I have few friends who have applied on the same day but the case worker granted the leave with the start date of the initial HSMP expiry date. It JUST me who was given leave starting from the date of same day application.

I have managed to book an appointment on 8th May 2012.
