can't go back into past now, as I was anticipating that it would be easy for both of us to get ILR in 2014 which didn't happened for my wife for a simple mistake using old forms. I need some confirmation that using 196D, she can apply for ILR in the UK now.

I have acquired British nationality through 5 years workpermit route. my wife been living in EU from 2000 till 2007 when she moved to UK with me on spouse visa. when she moved here, she had PR but to applied nationality, she need to be there for 10 years but as she moved to UK. she still got EU PR.

yes, Permanent Residency is correct, I do apologize for the confusion, my mistake. my wife has PR for EU but to get EU nationality, she needs to live there for atleast couple of years to apply which we as a family can't afford to do that.

I appreciate Vinny help in the past as he has mentioned that my wife can apply for ILR now as it's possible but I did seek an opinion from couple of immigration lawyers and they are saying that home office will take 196d(v) and will refuse the application. I need some clarification in this matter an...

she also holds ILR for EU but she is been living with me and couldn't apply for EU nationality as she is not been living in the EU. when her ILR got rejected in December 2014 than we went for JR and her JR was also refused so than we got private family life visa in Feb 2018.

Hi All, I wanted to apply for my wife ILR using 196D immigration rule. she is been living with me since 2007 on spouse visa. her visa was due to renewal on 24-06-2014 but she applied on 26-06-2014 and used old forms. she overstayed her visa and her visa was refused. later on in feb-2018 she got priv...

Hi Vinny,

I have seek an opinion from an immigration lawyer on this and she said that the HO will reject the application on the bases of 196d(v) as they will regard any immigration breach in the past to be consider an immigration breach. what shall I do? as ILR application will cost me £2375.00

Thank you vinny for your guideline, if this workout, it will save us five years of our time and lot of trouble. I am in a process of applying for my wife now. should I go through a lawyer or shall I do it myself? I am planning to take in-person appointment so that if we have any issue on the form or...

so you reckon that we should apply for her ILR?

from 25-06-2014 till 17-02-16, she was on Temporary admission and the 28 days over stayed was due to the fact that we applied the application on 26-06-14 but then we received forms back on 25-07-14 and she applied again using correct forms on 27-07-14 but 28 days passed during this process.

are you sure? but on what grounds? what if they object that she has overstayed her visa previously and hasn't been granted her ILR visa previously? if you could tell me a bit more detail then I'll be really grateful.

no, I never switched to PBS or Tier 2 etc. her leave will expire on 18-08-2018.

I have acquired ILR on 21st June 2014 based on 5 years work-permit holder route. she got private and family life visa on 18-02-2016. I have got now British passport along with our children who are born in the UK.

does it mean that now if she gets spouse visa, she has to wait for 5 years to apply for ILR. Although, she is been living in with me since 2007?

no they didn't mentioned anything. I got ILR using the same set of forms on 21st June 2014. my question is that is there anyway that we can get this decision reverse?

I submitted form on 26th June 2014 and they took the money on 30th June. The form which was used expired after 21 days for only two days ago but they still return the form and didn't accepted our application. This has caused us lot of problem and what shall we do now? how can we challenge this decis...

yes that's correct. the forms which I used for her application got expired on 23rd or 24th June 2014 and I have made application on 26th June 2014. Also, her mother passed away less then a month ago and she was going through a very difficult time. All of this was explained to HO but they didn't show...

Hi All, I applied for my wife ILR on 26th 2014 June as her visa expired on 25th June 2014. I used the same forms which I used on 21st June and got ILR same day but due to her life in UK test was not completed, I had sent her forms later. However, the problem was that the forms which was used just go...

during the JR, she has been given a temporary admission, will that be consider a valid stay during the 10 years continues period for ILR?

I have been working over 5years now but still not sure that I do qualify for the ILR or not. I got IGS in 2007 and in 2008 my company applied for Workpermit which we finally received it in June 2009 and I am still working as a software engineer. from 2007 till present I have been working apart from ...
