Legality of July 2012 rule changes for tier1

[Tier 4]

Hi Friends,

My wife's FLR FP application (10 year partner route) has been refused today with no right of appeal. We would like to go for JR. How soon you guys suggest we should send a PAP? My solicitor said we can send one in 3 months time.

My wife is 20 weeks pregnant and i am an ILR holder. My other query is if she goes back to her country and applies for entry clearance as a partner will the time she spent here as over-stayer will be a problem??

Brief history of her case:

She came here as student and applied for FLR O application in October 2012, received her refusal in October 2013. She appealed against the decision (5th Nov) in allowed time, Received appeal decision in Feb 2014. Appeal against the First tier tribunal decision in upper tribunal in Feb and received refusal decision on 12th April 2014.
She applied for FLR FP on 01-05-2014 as i didn't meet the financial requirement of FLR M application. Received refusal today.

Now i have a job and i meet the £18600 requirement but i have just only started my job. I have never claimed any benefits.

Please if you guys can advice us it will be Much appreciated.

Kind Regards

Guys take a look at above case

How insane and unjust some law can be.

We should act fast and make up our mind for a case against this unethical rule or we will end up in a trap like this with no end in site.

There can be more than just signing the petition, whether it need to involve your local MPs, lobby any other member of parliament or attracting Newspapers / media.

Time is short we need to do some thing swiftly.

Where is his office and what's his number?

Writing in CAPITAL words is equal to shouting. Hope you don't mind.

Hi all,

I'm very confused with these new rules, I hope someone can help.

We had our appointment at settlement checking service and calls to the home office confirmed my partner is eligible even double checked with a manager.

I'm wondering if there is some grey area.

What I'm trying to understand is whether this 6th of April rule applies to ALL points based dependants or it depends which type of pbs prior July 2012. For example if it was tier 4, 2 etc.

I had tier 2 visa which is a route that leads to settlement unlike some other tiers. However I applied on the basis of long residence for ilr.

My question is: does my husband qualify because he had a pbs tier 2 dependant visa prior to July 2012?

His brp is 2 and half years, but why did even management confirm he is eligible to apply for setM.

[aurnoc]

What did the SCS advise u? On their website it says applicant must complete 2 years as spouse of a settled person. I read it thoroughly, it gives me hope that waiting time can be 2 instead of 5 years. Tiers or PBS etc is not mentioned at all.

As for different tiers, Amber or anyone with proper knowledge can tell us. If its true then even more unfair for singling out Tier 1 dependents.

PS: Next time when calling HO, v should note down their names and record the call. That way *maybe* the manager can be held accountable for misguiding us

[Lemar]

They also said rules change and lots of different types of applications, hence the calls to homeoffice to actually check whether my husband was eligible before proceeding. I just wonder whether homeoffice will honour what the said on telephone

Let's see if amber or any other member can shed some light in this.

[fuzzyhu]

@ teir 4

I'll have to ask my sister I know which solicitors she went through and he had arranged this barrister for her here in Birmingham...
I'll find out and get back to you... but im sure you will need a couple of lawyers one whos expert with immigration rules amd the other with human rights...
appeal needs to be put in quickly to their desicion or you will be waiting along time again to start a fresh case against it..

[Amber]

[fuzzyhu]

[Amber]

If it continues I'll have no option to but to take action. We do not allow advertising of advisors in whatever context.

[Tier 4]

im not affected with new income requirements but if I can be of any help then that's great

Its not just income requirement, its pre 9 July 2012 dependants issue,
• Combination of previous stay as PBS dep
• 2 years not 5 years for them
• And yes income too

I went for my FLR (M) on 28th at PEO Croydon, 11am with the Section 7A filled in actual form and Section 7B filled and taken just in case they need it. Was advised to do this by the lawyer, although he did say 7A n 7B doesnt matter in my case as 18600 requirement is fulfilled. When we submitted docs, my hubby asked the lady that v were confused 7A or 7B so please guide us. She said caseworker will call if there is any issue. Hence submitted form with 7A filled.

Got approval letter in 90mins Alhumdolillah. BRP still awaited. I did ask at Customer Service counter about settlement eligibilty. She asked passport number and said y did i apply FLR M, have i failed life in uk or ESOL. I told her i was swtiching category to ILR dependent. She said 3 years complete so we will see u again in 2 years time for settlement. In my heart i said InshaAllah (God Willing) I can apply for settlement in 2 years, really I will take mithai for that lady in 2016

Interestingly, I talked to a friend of mine just now and she has completed 5yrs as a PBS dep. Her lawyer has advised us to use form SET M within 28 days of receiving her hubbys ILR. Howcome her lawyer is misguiding so much? Not even mentioning that she needs to go for FLR M firsty

[die_hard]

Congratulations aurnoc.

How did your husband got his ILR, was it on 10 years basis ILR (LR) ?

Is your FLR(M) for 2 years or 2.5 years ?

[aurnoc]

Yes he got ILR on 10yrs Long Residence basis.
Received my BRP, its valid 2.5 years

[faisaltanoli]

Yes he got ILR on 10yrs Long Residence basis.

To my understanding you can not amalgamate your previous leave as PBS dependent with current leave. You also got 2.5 year visa, so chances are CW have misguided you (I wish I am wrong). You have to wait five years.
Thanks. Regards
Faisal

[aurnoc]

Thats right Faisal, I am also aware of that. Hence I said if im granted ILR in 2 years time, I will def take mithai for the customer service rep. I did not get a chance to see the CW, I had asked about settlement from the person who returned my documents to me. He told me that he has no idea so i should go n ask CSR lady.

Hi guys help required,

Our FLR(M) application rejected because we submitted English B1 from Learning Resource Network(LRN) with the aim that we will apply SET(M) once we approved for FLR(M) , but according to HO LRN is not on approved list .

B1 from Trinity College is acceptable for FLR(M) as well as for ILR
but
B1 from LRN is not acceptable for FLR(M) but acceptable for ILR.

Both registered in ofqual register

I don't understand this juggle.

Please help ...
