hey everyone

my 10 years will clock in september but my case for tier 4 is with home office for past 1 year and recently they correspond on the toeic issue i am guessing they won't gunna make a decision anytime soon. My question is will it be the same timeline for me if i divert my application in september i.e 12-14 weeks or will it be more or less?? Anyone who went through similar situation please reply.

Hello mate,
Every one follows pretty much the same time line, and it actually depends on the date that you apply. You rightly said that the timeline now is about 12-15 weeks, and I would presume that it should be the same for you. Mind it that you can apply 28 days prior to the completion of your 10 years, and remember to write them regards to you varying your Tier 4 application to SET(LR) application. All the best.
Kind regards
Shahjee

thank you shahjee for the answer i am hoping for the best hope everyone gets their positive reply soon i am doing ielts for my english. one more thing are you eligible to apply 28 days before your 1st entry stamp or the date your visa was issued??

Hi K4,
You are eligible to apply 28 days prior to completion of your 10 years from the date of your entry, so mind it, it's your entry stamp to UK that matters not the date you got the visa, so please don't confuse it. I hope it helps mate.

[Pay]

Guys Thank you so much for all your effort

I got my approval letter today

Applied 27 Jan 14
Bio 14 Feb 14
Approval issued 20 May 14
received 21 May 14


I have one question - those that part of 10 years were under EEA did UKBA return your residence Card ? they have not returned my Residence Card EEA2 . I would be grateful if you could clarify it as Residence Card was giving me the right to travel in Europe without Visa .

Many Thanks and good luck guys - my heart is with all of you .

any good news??

Hi Sajjadali,
You are right looks like the Home Office have gone lazy
You can see that one of the member from January applications just got his ILR yesterday, so looks like there is still a bit of a backlog from January, hence we are the lucky one to be waiting.
I called Home Office yesterday and they say that the application is still incomplete, so I asked her what do you mean incomplete, she replied that it is out with a case worker for decision, hence means to say under process so the long wait continues.
But your and my timeline is the same, so please keep us posted with your results........hope soon.
Take care.
Kind regards

[zaiby]

HI EVERYONE , I ASKED THIS QUESTION COUPLE OF TIMES BUT I STILL DID NOT GET RIGHT ANSWER , QUESTION IS I HAVE APPLIED MY SET(LR) 29/04/2014 , MY WIFE IS TIER 1 GENERAL DEPENDENT VISA VALID TILL 20-03-2015 AND MY VISA ALSO VALID TILL 20-03-2015

MY WIFE GOT TIER 1 GENERAL DEPENDENT IN OCTOBER 2011 AND LANDED IN UK 20-01-2012

I KNOW SHE HAVE TO APPLY FLR(M) , BUT SHE ALREADY SPEND TWO YEARS FROM THE OLD RULES , SO AFTER GETTING FLR(M) CAN SHE APPLY STRAIGHT AWAY FOR SET(M) OR SHE NEEDS TO WAIT 5 YEARS ?

PLEASE HELP US TO SOLVE THIS AS I AM THINKING TO WITHDRAW THE SET(LR) APPLICATION IF MY WIFE HAVE TO WAIT 5 YEARS ?

Hi Zaiby,
I am afraid that the answer is NO, as after the 06th April 2014, any dependants applying for an FLR(M) have to spend qualifying time of 5 years for their ILR.
If I am you, I would withdraw my LR application and apply with my dependants in March 2015, I know it is completely unfair for the Home Office to make such a drastic change knowing that it will effect honest people like you go through the agony and pain of waiting for another 5 years to get their life's on track.
I hope other senior members will comment to explain as well.
I hope it helps mate.
Kind regards
Shahjee

Hi shah ji

Hi Zaiby,
Option1 is wrong and option 2 is correct.
Any PBS dependent that opts to switch to FLR(M) after the 06th of April 2014, have to start a new qualifying time of 5 years from the date of the grant of FLR(M). They will be issued with a 2.5 years visa initially which will be extendable for another 2.5 years to make it a total of 5 years to help them qualify for their ILR. They will lose all their previous time spend on the PBS dependant status, and that is according to Appendix FM of the immigration rules.
Now that was what the rules are saying, but you could see that on the forum there are many members who have applied for their dependants before 06th of April 2014, and still they were issued with wrong visas of 2.5 years under new rules. I mean to say that with the quality of case workers that Home Office have, expect the unexpected, any thing can happen. It is appalling that honest people like you, who followed a straight path and were told by the Home Office before that the dependants are on course to settlement, and now their time spend during course to settlement is not considered.
I am not suggesting any thing, but frankly 10 years LR is a case that you should rely on if it is convenient for you, not if it is a major source of inconvenience. Think hard about the availability of choices for you.
I wish you all the best in what ever decision you come to. Take care mate.
Kind regards

I am really sorry that you have to go though all this hassle because some one at the Home Office,( who were so out of touch with the reality) decided to change the rules. But on a positive note, February 2015 is not far, at least you and your Mrs will get sorted together rather than all this wait.
Thanks alot for clarifying on the issue, if you are still in two minds than please give Appendix FM of Immigration Rules a read, and I am sure that will help. Many thanks.
