i think you should apply for student visa on the last day of your current leave expiring... try to delay your bio matric as much as possible, i guess this way you can but atleast about a month, and see by the time (30 days before your 10 yrs finishes) if you get response from your student visa application.imranahmed3651 wrote:Hi All,
I have been reading and find helpful this forum.
My story is bit complicate please help me if you know about similar case as mine.
1) I am living UK from 0ct 2004 and have been on student visa and PSW. Currently I am on student visa and visa will expire in June 2014. Can I apply for ILR ? As I got 3 months and 11 days short to complete my ten years .
IF YES then which form to apply.
IF NOT then what you advise me to apply for .
2) My wife joined me Sep 2011 and she joined me as a PSW dependent and later in March 2012 she got student dependent Visa with me and will also expire same as me June 2014. Can my wife apply with me on ILR as she has been living in UK almost 2years & 10 months AND she got extension before 9 JUly 2012 so I think she fulfill the 2 year requirement
IF YES She qualify for ILR then please advise me which form to submit.
IF NOT then please advise me which form I can submit together with my ILR application.
3) My daughter born in March 2014 , which form i need to apply or shall i wait till i get ILR then get her British passport.
Please advise me and I am request all people who knows about similar situation.
Many Thanks

if you get response positive in this time line - good - straight away you will be eligible for ILR.
in case you get negative response - yet again by the time via appeal and under section 3C & 3D your leave will be valid until your appeal is heard or being withdrawn(appeal usually take 6-10 months to be heard), soon you reach your 10 yrs timeline - withdraw your application and apply for thr ILR on the same day with covering letter.
on the otherside if your student visa application is not being decided by the time you reach your 10 yrs timeline(by delaying tectic - such of delay of bio matric - barcode unreadable or post not received etc) you can vary your application from student to ILR at the time when you reach your 10 yr.
make sure you have life in UK and english language test ready by then. dont worry 3 months timeline just pass by.. luckily HO takes a lot of time to process applications..
