HI MEMBERS AS DISCUSSED LAST WEEK I CONSULTED WITH MY SOLICITOR WHO IS THE BEST SOLICITORS AND I HAVE ALSO CONSULTED HOME OFFICE BY PHONING THEM AND CAN NOW CONFIRM , THAT IF YOU GET YOUR SET (LR) AFTER 6TH APRIL APPROVED FROM NOW ON THEN YOUR DEPENDENTS HAVE TO SWITCH TO FLR(M) THEN 2.5 YEARS THEN AGAIN 2.5 YEARS ON FLR (M) MEANS YOUR DEPENDENTS HAVE TO WAIT COMPLETE 5 YEARS THEN THEY CAN APPLY FOR ILR , SO I HAVE WITHDRAWN MY APPLICATION AS THROUGH TIER 1 GENERAL ROUTE I AND MY WIFE CAN GET ILR ON THE SAME SAY NEXT YEAR , THE RULES FOR TIER 1 GENERAL IS STILL SAME IF YOUR DEPENDENTS CAME BEFORE 9TH JULY 2012 THEN THEY ONLY HAVE TO SPEND 2 YEARS OR AFTER 9TH JULY 2012 THEN 5 YEARS , IT IS REALLY PAINFUL FOR ME AS I HAVE LOST MY £1093 MONEY.

ZOHAIB QURESHI

Hi Zohaib,
It is a shame that you have to withdraw you LR application, but as I suggested to you before, I would have done the same. You and your Mrs will get your ILRs the same day next year and no hassle, although you have lost money but at least you realised at the right time to change to a better and safer option.
Thanks a lot for sharing the information, lots of other members who are in the same situation will get benefit from that.
All the best for your future SET(O) applications.
Kind regards
Shahjee

Hi Zohaib,

You said Set(lr) approved after 6th April.

I applied for my set(lr) on 17th march and still waiting. I applied for my wife flr(m) on 4th April.

Does that mean she will receive 2.5 year visa under new rules?

Regards
Malik

Hi Malik,
If your wife is a pre 09th July 2012 PBS dependant than she is alright. She should get a 2 years visa under part 8 of the immigration rules, and she is eligible to apply for her settlement straight after getting her FLR(M) Kind regards

Hello Guys,

We are campaigning for Judicial Review of the rule which barred the Dependent of ILR (LR) which came before 09 July 2012, but could not made the application before 06 April 2014. Please join us under the thread

"pre july 2012 PBS dependants - Petition"

We are thinking to try this rule in High Court.

Thanks

Hi Friends,

Just let you know guys regarding 6th April changes for dependents of 10 years ILR. One of my friends got ILR on 10 years basis he was on Tier 1 General and his wife was dependent as Tier 1 general entered in the UK before 9th July 2012. He applied FLR M after 6th April 2014 at PEO Croydon and got 2 years visa after getting BRB I think after one week he applied SET M at PEO Croydon and got ILR.

Thanks

Wow thats great news. Above experience might clear most confusions.
I believe the same, Transitional arrangements still reserved for Pre July 2012 dependants. Just waiting for my ILR and few more experiences.

Cheers for sharing.

Hi All,
I applied for my wife and daughters FLR(M) on the 02nd of April 2014, since than they received acknowledgement and have recorded their biometric. They received a letter from the Home Office today informing them that their application will be put on hold till the main sponsor(Mine) ILR case is decided, but there is a paragraph in there which indicates that the pre and post 09th July 2012 is still active, it says

The immigration rules (pre and post 09th July 2012)States that your spouse should be settled in United Kingdom and that is mandatory requirement.
Pre-09 July 2012 Immigration rules:
Paragraph 284. The requirements for an extension of stay as the spouse or civil partner of a person present and settled in the United Kingdom are that
(ii) the applicant is married to or the civil partner of a person present and settled in the United Kingdom;
Post-09 July 2012(Appendix FM)- Eligibility requirements:
Relationship requirements
E-LTRP.1.2. The applicant's partner must be-
(a) a British Citizen in the UK;
(b) present and settled in the UK; or
(c) in the UK with refugee leave or as a person with humanitarian protection.

So guys make up your mind, will be waiting for you guys take on this.

It may be happens but I have confirmed with home office and my solicitor they both said your dependents have to wait another 5 years the day flr(m) granted any previous leave will not be counted towards ilr after switching into flr(m) category , it doesnt matter if your dependents came pre 9th july 2012 , from now on all dependents have to wait 5 years to get ilr after 6th april 2014

========================= VERY IMPORTANT CAN SOMEBODY EXPLAINS WHAT IS MEANS =========================
3.4 Long Residence and Points Based System Dependants:

If the main relevant Points Based System (PBS) Migrant gains indefinite leave
to remain on the basis of Long Residence any PBS dependant partner will not
be able to extend their leave or gain settlement as a PBS dependant and
will be required to switch into the partner of a settled person category and apply
for limited leave.

Applicants who were granted leave to enter or remain as a PBS dependant
before 9 July 2012, whose PBS partner gained indefinite leave to remain on the
basis of long residence can under transitional provisions at A280 (c) apply for
further leave under Part 8 of the Immigration Rules.

Applicants who were granted leave to enter or remain as a PBS dependant
after 9 July 2012, whose PBS partner gained indefinite leave to remain on the
basis of long residence will be required to apply to extend their leave as a
partner under Appendix FM.

============================ VERY IMPORTANT =============================================================

Settlement under the Points Based System for dependants
Corrections are being made to enforce the intention that only dependants of individuals who qualified for settlement under the Points-Based System can apply for settlement as dependants of Points-Based System Migrants. Previously the Immigration Rules allowed dependents of those who qualified for settlement on the basis of long residence to also apply. The change will mean such dependants will need to apply for leave to remain under the 'new' rules for family members in Appendix FM before they can qualify for settlement.
This means that for PBS dependants who are applying to 'switch' into the partner of a settled person route on or after 6 April 2014 will have to apply under Appendix FM of the Rules, and will not be able to combine any leave they have accrued as a PBS dependant with leave as a Partner under Appendix FM.

There are, however, transitional provisions in place for those who were granted leave to enter or remain as the dependant of a PBS migrant prior to 9 July 2012, whose PBS partner gained indefinite leave to remain on the basis of long residence to under transitional provisions at A280 (c) apply for further leave under Part 8 of the Immigration Rules.
Where those on the transitional provision will be affected by these new changes is that they will have to complete the two years for settlement from the time they 'switch' into a spouse visa (as from 6 April 2014, they can no longer combine leave under Part 8 with leave as a PBS dependant).
Unfortunately, those PBS dependants who do not fall into this category will need to wait for five years for settlement from the time they 'switch' into a spouse visa.

Hello every one,
I got a very sad news o share with every one. My brother got refused on his TIer4 Extension which he applied on March 2014. He will be eligible for 10 years long residence in October 2014. He was never refused before in UK for any extension. this is the first time they refused him as he's here more than 8 years under student visa. Unfortunately they didn't give him any right of Appeal & ask him to leave UK within 28 days & they even hold his passport as well. But on his refusal letter they mention that he can make a new fresh application. My brother got 2 kids both born in UK. His elder son is over 7 years old & doing great results at school here in UK.

We've talk to a solicitor & he advise us to apply for a new application ASAP through his Son who born here in UK & now over 7 years old (Through FLR(FP). We believe this will take several months for UKVI to give him a decision, By this time in October he can make another new application for his Long residence through SET(LR)? OR he should go for JUDICIAL REVIEW STRAIGHTWAY AGAINST THIS DECISION?

Could you please let me know are we going to make a right decision or not? Some people saying that because of not having RIGHT TO APPEAL his 10 YEARS LONG RESIDENCY ALREADY BROKEN ! He was never refused before on any kind of extension here in UK & this was the first time he got refused. Every time he made his application on time & was accepted. He is nearly there to apply for his Long residence through SET(LR) & now this happen. We are in a big shock. All of us here we are in a same boat, Could you please share your valuable knowledge for my brother. Any kind of information is very crucial & you never know your simple information could change some's life.
Many thanks in advance

Hi sorry to hear about your refusal.
What were the actual refusal reason and why appeal rights not given?
Was the application made out of time?

As I said I applied on 17th march for my ilr and 4th April for my wife's Flr m - what do you think, do u agree with shajee's response to my question or think my wife will have to wait for 5 years too

Hi Malik jee,
That is all good, but you still haven't clarified, Is your Mrs pre 09th July 2012 PBS dependant ??
If she is pre 09th July 2012 PBS dependant and she has applied for FLR(M) on the 4th of April, 2014, than she is still covered under the old rules, and will get a 2 years visa. She can apply for her ILR through SET(M) straight away after she receive her FLR(M).
Please go through a few posts where Zaiby have very kindly explained things in detail.
Don't worry your self, as you have done all the right things at the right time. I hope it helps.

Unfortunately they didn't give him any right of Appeal & ask him to leave UK within 28 days & they even hold his passport as well. But on his refusal letter they mention that he can make a new fresh application. My brother got 2 kids both born in UK. His elder son is over 7 years old & doing great results at school here in UK.

We've talk to a solicitor & he advise us to apply for a new application ASAP through his Son who born here in UK & now over 7 years old (Through FLR(FP). We believe this will take several months for UKVI to give him a decision, By this time in October he can make another new application for his Long residence through SET(LR)? OR he should go for JUDICIAL REVIEW STRAIGHTWAY AGAINST THIS DECISION?

Could you please let me know are we going to make a right decision or not? Some people saying that because of not having RIGHT TO APPEAL his 10 YEARS LONG RESIDENCY ALREADY BROKEN ! He was never refused before on any kind of extension here in UK & this was the first time he got refused. Every time he made his application on time & was accepted. He is nearly there to apply for his Long residence through SET(LR) & now this happen. We are in a big shock. All of us here we are in a same boat, Could you please share your valuable knowledge for my brother. Any kind of information is very crucial & you never know your simple information could change some's life.
Many thanks in advance

Any update

I need some urgent help please,

Today i received a letter from HO on my wife's Flr(m) saying that your application falls to be refused because you do not meet the income threshold of 18600, but your application has been put on hold until the courts have decided the outcome of appeal of challenge of income threshold requirement.

I got ilr on the basis of 10 years last december. My wife was my dependent on tier 4 visa since 2011.

I applied for her visa on 3rd of april. so she should come under old rules & only need to show maintenance.

Should i write to HO requesting review of her application under old rules?

Any advice please.

Hi Shahfurqan,
Not to worry mate, you are alright. There are no gaps as you date of postage is your date of application. So the date you send the special delivery was the date that your visa was valid till, hence no gaps. Apply confidently. All the best.
Kind regards

Seriously im so much confused that whats going on over there.
it seems that no one is working there or they have decided not to decide feb applications.

Sajjad Bahi,
I have no hopes especially after the bank holiday weekend, that is another 3-4 days wasted. The earliest I am expecting to hear any thing will be next week
