Its upto you but as far as i m concern there is no point calling them as they will give you the standard reply of ''under process''.

I have high hope that you will get your approval by the end of March.

Hi everyone

I have applied ILR on basis of 10 years rule on OCT 2012 still waiting for decision. My solicitor applied for my family leave on flro form , Home office refused with right of appeal, First tier judge allowed appeal, now my family received visa just our solicitor informed us today. I have question here if I will get ILR still my family can apply ILR on basis of dependent because they were tier 1 dependent last four years and going to complete ten year next year too. A bit confusing situation now they are on DLR on basis of 7 year child / family / private life.
Your views and discussion will be great.

Please keep me in your prayers .

Regards
amjad leeds

Hi Palmist,

Many congratulations. Most of the people on this forum who got their application approved got the same letter stating that a BRP will be sent separately.

Could you please tell us about your immigration history as in what visa's you had during your 10 years residence. It will greatly help other users on this forum.

Enjoy your Freedom
Thanks

I hope it is true.

I will try and update some details, if you want to know anything in specific, feel free to ask,

Guys, really sorry but I haven't been keeping track of exact dates but the main dates are true [i.e. application sent and docs received]

Application sent - 07/12/13
Acknowledgment Letter - within a week
Bio-metric Invitation - December last week
Bio-metric done - January first week
Documents received - 21/03/2014
BRP - waiting

2002 - 2007 Student Visa
2007 - 2009 IGS
2009 - 2012 Tier 1 General
2012 - 2014 Tier 1 General

I could have applied for ILR in Sep 2012 but I couldn't let go of my passport for that long so I got an extension on Tier 1 instead.

All in time applications and had a refusal on Tier 1 when I first applied due to insufficient funds. I had the funds just didn't send correct paper work. Fortunately I still had leave to remain so I applied again and got it.

That's all I can think of to be of any use, rest was fairly straightforward I guess.

Like I said, if you have any specific questions, feel free to ask.

Hi,

Any good news regarding approval today? It looks like HO is still dealing with November applications as none of the December applicants on this forum got a decision.

I was seriously hoping the way home office was working in Jan/Feb and prior to that it will bring the processing time down to 3 months but it looks like 6 months wait is on cards for me

Guys,

I applied around 6, 7 of December, Bio Done on Jan 1st Week

Just got all my documents back and a letter saying that BRP will be sent separately. No mention if the application has been approved or not.

Congrates Palmist...
Can you confirm submitted docs please , would be helpful to verify.
Glad to see December approvals.
Cheers,

Appendix FM family members Document saying ....on 2nd page of APPENDIX FM

"This Appendix applies to applications under this route made on or after 9 July 2012 and to
applications under Part 8 as set out in the Statement of Changes laid on 13 June 2012 (HC
194)."

So its mean the minor change will be that from 06 April 2014 PBS dependent cannot apply SET(M) directly (as SSWZ and other our board members did). They need to apply FLR(M) 1st (means through Appendix FM). Because Appendix FM also apply on PART8.

Please correct me if am wrong.......

''06 April 2014 PBS dependent cannot apply SET(M) directly '' even though u can't apply set(m) now, the main rule for the pbs dependent is to apply flr(m) first then set(m) which is our fellow friend sswz had to do

some people done directly set(m) through shefield centre but that was luck , actual current rule is flr(m) then set(m) but still confused about new upcoming rules....lets see....

But the question is if PBS dependent will have to apply for FLR(M). Would they be able to exercise transitional arrangement and apply for SET (m) after getting FLR (m)....

[vinny]

Not for initial FLR(M) applications made from 6th April 2014.

So what u do u suggest, I am waiting for my ILR. Can I apply for my partner now with a cover letter (she has her visa valid till april 2016)

[vinny]

Yes. Your wife may apply for FLR(M) (with a covering letter asking for decision to be deferred until after your SET(LR) is decided) by registered post before 6th April 2014.

Thanks RMK.

I compulsory documents I sent were

passports
2xUK degree certificate
life in uk test

in addition I also sent

marriage certificate
House ownership documents



I really struggled with some of my exact travel dates, they didn't even have all my travel dates in SAR so I guessed and exolained it in covering letter.

I did have 3 points in my licence which were cleared few years ago but I declared it anyways.

hope this helps.

[Palmist]

I had leave to remain on my old brp so it could be just that which may be coming back. My friend got a letter saying his application has been approved.

Not for initial FLR(M) applications made from 6th April 2014.

If FLR (M) application sent before 6 April and granted after 6 April would the applicant eligible for set (M). Entered UK 18 jan 2012 as a PBS Dependent.

[vinny]

Yes.

[maaan143]

Yes.

and can we apply SET(M) straightway after getting FLR(M) after 06 April2014?

[vinny]

Biometrics done: 18/03/2014

[maaan143]

Have you looked at the links that I have been giving above?

Yes vinny, i have looked that, but its not clear .

We all want to know that if we apply before 06 april and get FLR(M) after then do we need to wait 2 years, 5 years or can apply SET(M) straightway?
if we will wait for 5 years for Settlement then what will be difference if we apply before 06 april or after 6 april?

Many thanks for giving us time.
