[shahjee1234]

Hi deboye13,
Congratulations in advance, as following the timeline it is the turn for the first week of February applicants, and as you applied on the 4th of Feb, so looks like it is good news. Please do share you good news with us. All the best.
Kind regards
Shahjee

I've been a silent reader for a while now, though id share my timeline to help feb applicants. i called HO yesterday and today and was told a package was sent out to my solicitors yesterday (15/05/2014) and i was given the royal mail tracking number (which by the way is the worst idea ever, i can only track the parcel after its been delivered :/ why would i wanna track something thats been delivered already?) does anyone know if this could be my ilr?
my timeline:
applied on 04/02/2014
recieved on 06/02/2014
acknowledgment letter: 14/02/2014
bio recieved: 05/03/2014

Hi Guys,

Wondering if someone can shed light on this query.

I will be eiligible for British Citizenship next year. My wife just got FLR (M) approved on Old rules. Can my wife apply for Direct British citizenship using AN form without applying for Set (M)?

God bless

Thanks for your reply Hardik. Also congratulations on your successful ILR application.
My appeal is due after 5 months while I will be eligible next month should I use 28 days prior application period.
My question is what kinda adversaries could I face if I withdraw and reapply? However I would like to mention that all my previous applications were in time and processed without any problems. My last application was refused on genuine earning test basis, apart from this refusal no problems and no gaps at all throughout this period.
For instance my application falls in refusal category what could be the major reasons for that?
Is it safe for everyone applying ILR after withdrawing appeal or problems can come?
Your response is highly appreciated.

Gulll - i had exactly same issue - all previous applicaiton was in time and valid - only last application was refused on earning basis - i had appealed (IN time) and withdrawn 27 days before I finished 10 years and reapplied on the same day.(i had not face any adversaries) - as you can see i have successfully got the VISA.

when i applied solicitor did advised me that - in case if they refuse my 10 yrs ILR - where caseworker wrongly interprete the law - we can appeal and easily win as under imigration act section 3C & 3D appeal time is considered towards the continious (in case - caseworker dont know).

Once again thanks a lot for your help.
Hardik, what I have understand from your post is, if in case my application falls in for refusal still I will be able appealing against the decision? But the guidance notes suggest that if you apply even on the same day of withdrawing appeal still they consider it as an out of time, so the only appeal forum would be Judicial review then? Please correct me if I am wrong.
Many thanks once again

Your wife need to apply with SET M then after 12months of successful SET M, she will now apply for Naturalisation using form AN

My ILR on 10 years residence application is refused with appeal right.

The reason is that - I had an application on 22nd January 2007 for SEGS and they could not take money from the credit card. They refused the application on 24 january and gave 28 days to re-apply. Unfortunately, i did not receive the latter with my document. at the beginning of March 2007 i have called HO that I did not here anything and they replied they have sent the application long ago and could not gave any ref how can i get.. asked me to contact royal main..I contact and collect..I called HO again that 28 days is already over they say just fill the payment page and send the document..I got visa..

I applied SAR…and it says that in the summary there is no overstay for more than 28 days..but the application acceptance and rejection was mentioned on the time line..

I have been here 9 years as student 1 year SEGS and did MSc with Distinction and just completed PhD…

Any advice, help or how to appeal..or anyone been through such situation…please please…christmas holiday is approaching.

Hello guys,
Following my above post. My appeal was allowed by the judge on 20 March 2014..So far I have not hard anything form HO..I called them this morning and the lady said the application is not with the case worker yet..I called my lawyer, he said he will write a letter to HO regarding this matter.

During my conversation with HO, I told them the time line for the court determination to got to case worker is 4 weeks and she said "There is no time-line!".

This really important to the visa ASAP..it's been 8 month since the application..can't wait anymore..need to get a job..get my life back!

Hello super ,

Can we know your timeline please ?

I also had a invalid application due to the payment long time back in 2007 for which i don't have any HO letters with me at the moment , probably i have thrown them away during house moved ....bit worrying about it though ...

thanks

I have been to 4 solicitors to clear this issue to be honest they dont even have the answer ...I dont know totally confused ur guys help much appreciated....

[Amber]

Those who apply to switch to FLR(M) from PBS dep after 6 April 2014 will be on a 5 year route to settlement.

But couple of experiences in this post for pre July,12 dependents applied FLR(M) after 06 April 2014 at PEO and switched to SET(M) in a week. Please Comment.

[rmkirfan]

Hi Guys, Especially Amber.

Alhumdulillah , With grace of Almighty Allah, Received Approval and Inshallah waiting for BRP.

Great thanks to this Forum, which was the best source of success.

Congrates to all who received and good luck for all.

Hi Khanzada khan,
As Amber rightly answered you that any one applying for their dependants after 06th April 2014 will be under the new rules, hence a 2.5 years visa after the FLR(M) which could be extended to a total of 5 years, so that they could spend that as their qualifying period for their SET(M) for indefinite leave to remain.
In your case your Mrs is pre July 2012, and though rules are quite clear but you know, with the quality of case workers that you get at the Home Office, just yesterday two members who applied for their dependants, who were pre July 2012, and pre 06th April 2014 got completely different visas, one got a 2 year under old rules, and another got a 2.5 years under new rules. I mean to say you never know if you get lucky and get a 2 years one. Please keep following the cases on this forum and that will give you a clear idea of what is happening.
All the best.
Kind regards
Shahjee

[khanzada123]

Many thanks Shahjee lets c.As I mentioned I been to 4 soliciyors they dont no either.one of the solicitor told me pre july 2012 dependents are excluded from this new rules but ehen I asked him about any ref he had nothing in written .I was thinking to withdraw and wait one year to get ILR with my wife on same day but its too late now.I think my friend is withdrawing his long residency case on monday which he apllied on 30 Feb....
