10 years long residence applications

[Hardikjshah83]

I would advise you to apply 28 days before as by the time u will be submitting your application waiting time will be 10 weeks. So its better to apply 28 days before...

and also its valid - why spend a day waiting unnecessary..

i was eligible on 2nd January and sent application on 22nd January.. 20 days late.. hence i am waiting now, otherwise my applicaitons should have been with me by now.. oh well.. a lesson learnd this time.

i have my daughter's MN1 form ready to be sent soon I get my ILR.. no more time wasting.. alerady wasted 10 yrs for it

[KashRIz]

Well I sent my application exactly on 10 years and now i m wondering if I would have sent my application in december I would have got my visa before April 6 and subsequently SET (m) for Mrs by now.. any way I was bit lazy at Xmass period and now I m paying the price. So my suggestion is apply exactly 28 days before your are eligible...... Value time,,,,,,

I am eligible to apply for ilr on 10 year long residency on nov 2014. I can also apply for ilr on tier 1 general 5 year route on dec 2015 ( after 1 year)

What do you think which one shall I go for.

I am bit nervous as I have seen some cases on this forum took nearly 12 months.

Please advise me

Thanks bro

I'm in the same situation as you are. I complete 10 years in Sep '14 and 5 years in Aug '15. I think should go for the LR route?

hey guys, it looks like i'm going to be 34 days short of applying for ilr on 10 year rule.
lawyer says 28 day early application isn't permitted b/c of shortfall and even if it was HO would reject b/c of 6 day shortfall.

i might go see another lawyer for a second opinion but also wanted to know what you guys think of the situation.

thanks.

[rehan01]

I think lawyer is right bcz if u r more than 28 days than it will be a problem so the best solution apply for another category and than vary the application to lr.

This is my suggestion but wait for other seniors advice.

When was your Entry clearance & first Visa permitted and current Visa expiry?

Please ref : https://www.gov.uk/long-residence/eligibility

Says:
Your 10-year qualifying period starts from either:
when you arrived in the UK with a visa
when you were given permission to stay in the UK

Any comments/Experience on second criteria consideration? May your entry clearance visa permission date might fulfil eligibility.
I never seen anyone considering 2 criteria, But it is there. Expertise can shed more light on it.

hi
My wife got her visa after 9 July 2012..it was November 2012. But she applied on February 2012 for entry visa and her visa was refused but when did appeal they withdrawal their original decision.Previously my wife had 2 years psw dependent visa where she lived with me in UK 3 months but later went back home country.

My question is why we have to consider our-self "after 9 July 2012" it was not our fault they refused and later withdrawn their decision. ECO’s refusal decision is flawed in that he did not consider the relevant evidence.

I will appreciate for your reply, Thank you

Sorry to here this as you are not settled person in this country you need to wait until you get ilr and then think about or talk about your partners case these all recent changes for partners of Settled or British citizens.

Hello,

I need one more advice. My ILR(LR) application in process, but my PBS T1 term will be completed in Feb 2015. If i will withdraw my case and will get ILR on PBS T1 basis, would my wife will get the ILR on same time or she have to wait five years???

Thanks

Faisal

[KashRIz]

I think if she has spent 5 years as tier 1 dependent with u then yes she can...

I dont see any problem in discussing Flr (m) and SET (m) as eventually we all will be in this situation and there is no harm in being proactive and discuss challenges we all going to face in future.....

Hi rmkirfan,
The start date I'm using is 27 July 2004 on a visit visa. This trip occurred approximately a month and a half before my arrival in Sept of the same year on a student visa. The visit visa was issued in 2002 but only has one other trip on it, which was in 2002, which, I believe rules out counting from the issue date due to the > 180 day gap rule.

Thanks for the reply and suggestion.

Hi tempusfugit,
I would agree with rehan01 that you apply for any other visa and kill the time till you reach your qualifying time for SET(LR) application, and once there just vary the grounds of your application and apply SET(LR).
I think you could do it your self easily, no need for a lawyer frankly, but obviously the choice is yours. All the best mate.
Kind regards

Yes she is my dependent since 2009 when i was on PSW...I need very definitive information as my ILR on Long residency is in process and once i have got my visa then she have to wait for more 5 years, which i do not want..

Thanks for the advice and encouraging words, Shahjee.
I will probably go down the route that's been suggested. It seems like the only option at this point.

Thanks again, all, and all the best to everyone who's in the ILR application process.

[rehan01]

As per my understanding the clock is gone back to zero for the time spent in uk as your dependant and she will have to apply for dependant of settled person and will be eligible for ILR after 5 years.

I am in same boat as your and as per my understanding we have no choice apart from keep paying HO application fees and English language test fees.

Hi Faisal, You have already applied the visa and it will be difficult process to withdraw the application and keep pending for one more year. Yes, your wife could get the ILR with you if you had applied on 5 years basis. The rule is only changed for those dependants who's partner has switched to long residency. I will suggest you to don't put your own status at risk because as long as your status is good, your wife can stay with you. If you have any UK born children, they are eligible for Citizenship as soon you get your ILR.

Hello Faisal, I completely agree with oocha. There is no point for you to withdraw your LR ILR application. It will complicate things.
