I have received a good news from Solihull (PSC), They have granted ILR to my wife.
Just to explain background of case, I had received ILR on long residency basis in July 2014, My wife who came to UK very first time in June 2009 on Tier 1 PSW partner visa then later on were switched to Tier 1 general dependant visa then had tier 1 general extension and Had applied for FLR M on 03 April 2014 and requested HO to put her application on hold until they decide my ILR.
We had one day service appointment at Solihull Birmingham for wife's ILR set m application in July but they had refused it as per 287 d, but verbally they said the followings
1. The husband is just been granted ILR 2 weeks ago so we cant give ILR to wife, Husband has to spend 2 years having ILR before we can give to wife.
2. Wife has to spend 2 years on FLR M before she is eligible to apply for ILR
3. Transitional arrangements no longer exists
4. blah blah blah
I had a firing discussions with the case worker, explained her all and answered her all questions but she all in vain.
Anyway I came here on this forum, I was advised to write a reconsiderations letter, which I did and got the good results. within 10 days. Thank you all of you.
Piece of advise, Anyone of you in the same situations please go ahead and apply set m, I can confirm that time spent as PBS dependant and time spent as spouse of settled person (flr m) is still being amalgamated provided your mrs came to uk very first time before 09 July 2012 and had applied for flrm before 06 april 2014 and you gets ur ILR under long residency basis.
I have been to about 20 different immigration solicitors only 2 of them knew about it. Case workers seems don't know about the old immigration rules and refusing applications probably because they are not trained well.
If you need any help please I am available to help and want to contribute to this forum. I want to say thank you to all of you who were being so helpful and supportive to me in my stressful time.
God bless all of you.
