[phuongdang]

Hi everyone,
I am newbie in this website and I am about to apply for my SET(LR) in this month March 2014
I have passed LIUK test already, however I still confuse about the English language qualifications.
I had a degree of BA Accounting and Finance (undergrad) 2 years ago from Nottingham Uni and at the moment I am doing Msc International Business in Lincoln Uni (will graduate coming August 2014).
So I just wonder with my BA degree, is this enough for the English qualifications or do I still need to take an English exam? And if so where can I take this exam and how long to get the certificate?
Many thanks

Hello dear ,


As far as the condition required by the HO your degree from
Nottingham university is enough to show them ur English proficiency test ... As all UK degree are taught in English.

Best of luck

Hi,

I think you can simply check if your degree is qualified by using point-based calculator. Most degrees are included as Shahkakaram mentioned that all UK degree are taught in English.

Hi,
Thanks for your advices, I have checked on point-based calculator, with my degree from where I graduated in Nottingham Uni, I do have 10 points for English language. Does this mean it is qualified for the English Language qualification to apply my SET(LR). If so I will apply it tomorrow since I have pass all requirements (Only the English language really gives me confused).
Wish me luck and thank you very much guys.

Hi Nadeem.
Did you get your brp before the approval letter ?
Usually it's the other way round I believe. .
Anyway good luck once again

[nadeemiqbal]

Hi shafmar

Yes strangely I did get the BRP today and still waiting on my documents.
I called HO today again on 0151 number and been given the Royal Mail tracking number but it's not working.
Don't know how to check where my documents are as by HO they were sent out yesterday.

" I applied on 11 October 2013 and I came to uk 19 oct 2003"

Bro..
When u called yesterday., they told you the documents will be dispatched today or tomorrow right.,
So for you to get the brp today it should have already been dispatched although the guy says not done yet.

Hi shafmar

Yes that's right. But on the BRP issue date is 04/03/14 so I guess that's when they posted the documents I believe.i know for sure that dx does the delivery next day.

But what I don't understand is why this tracking number for Royal Mail does not work? And why Royal Mail is taking longer?

[shafmar]

I think it takes time for the royal mail systems to update new inputs. Surely should be there in the morning

My sincere gratitude to the organizers and coordinators of this forum. I have done my time and here is my timeline:

Application sent: 23/10/2013
Payment confirmation: 29/10/2013
Biometric enrolment invitation: 17/12/2013 (letter sent 06/12/2013)
Approval confirmation: 27/02/2014 (delayed because it was sent on the 18/02/2014 to my old address)
Biometric card arrived: 04/03/2014 (delayed because it was sent on the 19/02/2014 to my old address, then redelivery scheduled etc, etc..)

Application based on 4 years student, 1 year IGS (the old type post study), 5 years student, and existing visa until autumn 2014.

First and final question for the members of this forum: would anyone be able to share a link that explains the naturalization procedures (after 12 months if I am correct) for people in this specific category (10 years long term residence).

Kind regards

[raihankhandaker]

As i said before i got refused for my ilr. Please find the reason below. Extract taken from refusal letter:

You made an in time application for further leave on 31 January 2007 and your leave continued under Section 3C until 16 February 2007 when your application was rejected because you had not submitted the prescribed fee and had not completed the payment details of your application form. It is noted that the Home Office letter informing you that your application was invalid, dated 16 February 2007, stated that if you wished your application to be considered you must return your application form with the correct fee payment within 28 days. You re-submitted an application on 19 March 2007, 31 days after your application was rejected, however, this was also rejected as invalid because the payment details you submitted were rejected by the issuing bank. You were advised of this in writing on 23 March 2007 and were also notified that you would be required to submit a new application for leave to remain.

On 02 April 2007 you made an out of time application for leave to remain as a student and this was rejected on 22 April 2007 because you had not submitted the appropriate application form and you had only submitted a partial fee payment.

On 08 May 2007 you made a further out of time application for further leave to remain as a student. Your representative’s covering letter, dated 02 September 2013, claims that this application was accepted as in time application referring to an erroneous note made on our internal system, that you obtained following a Subject access request in May 2013. It is noted that after submitting an application on 08 May 2007, that was 81 days out of time, you were subsequently granted a period of leave to remain as a student on 01 June 2007. This was because Immigration Rules for leave to remain in that capacity did not require that applicants have extant leave at the time of application. Further in your case, as you were granted further leave to remain in the capacity of student, it should be noted that this is a category that does not of itself lead to settlement. It should not therefore, be inferred that as leave was subsequently granted in your case that this raises an expectation that any future application on the basis of long residence would see the requirement to have spent a period of 10 years lawful continuous residence in the Uk waived.

With this in mind, you were without valid leave from 17 February until 31 May 2007, a period of approximately 104 days. As such your period of continuous lawful residence is considered to have been broken at this point.

Therefore you cannot demonstrate 10 years continuous lawful residence in the Uk and cannot meet the requirements of the Immigration Rules with reference to Paragraph 276 B(i)(a)

I talked to an oisc immigration adviser yesterday and found out:

I got a very strong argument that it was 28 days and not 31 days

Basically from the long residence guidance, the The 28 day period of overstaying is calculated from the latest of:

the point that a migrant is deemed to have received a written notice of invalidity, in line
with paragraph 34C or 34CA of the Immigration Rules, in relation to an in-time
application for further leave to remain.

Deemed to have received according to Immigration rule is the day after except if it was a business day

On my Sar, it is written that outcome was finalised on 16 feb 2007 and was dispatched to me on 16 feb 2007

Based on Immigration rules above:

I would have received notice of invalidity on 19 feb as 17 feb was a saturday and 19 feb to 19 Mar is 28 days as feb 2007 was only 28 days

so that the app was returned within 28 days and not 31

Now that this has been covered, my main issue is the subsequent apps that were rejected. All of them were returned in time but I dont know if that will have any effect on my case.

Can somebody please help me on this?

Based on the argument above, can i apply for a reconsideration side by side with my appeal?

Bro, I am also having same problem. Just let me know what was written on ur sar note when u got ur visa after all this problem. Is it valid in time or valid application and 104 days out of time

I am not expert but still learning from this forum.but what I know for sure is that you can apply 28 days before completion of your 10 years .means if you came here on 16 July then you can apply around 20 June .hope some one senior member will help you also.my hubby apply exact 28 days before and got ILR without any problem.

[RANA-ALI]

1. What is the best way to apply?

As per SSWSZ mention also as per 10 year long residency guidance says that you can apply 28 days before the you qualified to apply for ILR under long residency ,
So even u have visa valid till 20th of june , you can apply ILR under long residency for ur self. Im not sure if ur daughter could apply for her ilr in separate application
as she also fulfilled requirement for long residency under her individual circumstance ( expert could shed some light on this)

2. Which application we need to make?

Its called SET(LR)

3. Which Document need to provide?

You only required
Ur all passport to send along application u had in 10 year
Life in uk pass certificate
English requirement at B1 level( if u done any degree in uk then u dont have to pass b1 ( ur original degree certificate will fulfil english requirement ,
If u have degree from ur home country , u have to send to to Naric to get their confirmation if ur degree satisfied B1 level of english.
Some people send other documents like, utility bills , bank statements etc.... But it is not necessary
I would suggest u to read through long residency guidance
Hope this help
Did ur husband already applied for ilr under LR?

[thano]

English requirement at B1 level( if u done any degree in uk then u dont have to pass b1 ( ur original degree certificate will fulfil english requirement ?

Orginal degree with only my name on it should work here???
