Subject: SET(M) Indefinite Leave to Remain
Applicant came UK as PSW dependant in 2008 . Later switch to tier 1 depandent. Later exend visa as teir1 depandent .
Main application appliued ILR in 2013 as long residency caegory AND APPROVED 2014 in febuary.
Afer main applicant ILR ,depandent applied flr(M) in 2nd appril 2014 by post . Approved in May 2014.
I wish to draw your attention to the fact that my application falls directly under paragraph 287 (a)(i) and (d) which clearly outlines the requirements for indefinite leave to remain for the spouse or civil partner of a person present and settled in the United Kingdom. Paragraph (287(a) (i) and (d) of the immigration rules stated below:
(i) (a) the applicant was admitted to the United Kingdom for a period not exceeding 27 months or given an extension of stay for a period of 2 years in accordance with paragraphs 281 to 286 of these Rules and has completed a period of 2 years as the spouse or civil partner of a person present and settled in the United Kingdom.
__(d) the applicant was admitted to the UK or given an extension of stay as the spouse or civil partner of a Relevant Points Based System Migrant; and then obtained an extension of stay under paragraphs 281 to 286 of these Rules and has completed a period of 2 years as the spouse or civil partner of the person who is now present and settled here.
In my case as paragraph (287(a) (i) (d): states that if main migrant's immigration category before settlement was under PBS - The dependant may be eligible for settlement when the dependant completes the qualifying 2 years residence period in the UK including stay as dependant of PBS migrant and stay as spouse of settled person.
The Home Office has long clarified this existing ambiguity by confirming (see below) in all other cases that - The dependant may be eligible for settlement as and when they fulfil the requirements of the relevant subsection under 287(a)(i).
Paragraph 319AA of the Immigration Rules confirms what a “Relevant points based system migrant” i.e. a migrant is granted leave as a Tier 1 Migrant, a Tier 2 Migrant, a Tier 4 (General) Student or a Tier 5 (Temporary Worker) Migrant. Therefore, leave as the partner of a person granted leave in one of these categories is appropriate for the indefinite leave requirements in paragraph 287(d).
My application clearly meets the full list of criteria outlined in the Immigration Rules and relevant Casework Instructions, particularly those relating to (287(a) (i) and (d). Let me categorically point out that there is absolutely no requirement for me to complete a 2 years period (probationary period) as I have indeed already satisfied this requirement.
I have also sent an email to Family Migration Operational Policy Team at
FamilyOpsPolicy@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk, in there automated response email Under FAQs, It reads as follows.
Qualifying Periods
Question: An applicant needs to meet a qualifying period before applying for indefinite leave to remain (ILR). When does this begin?
Answer: If they entered the route overseas, the qualifying period will begin when they arrived in the UK. If they ‘switched’ into the route within the UK, the qualifying period begins on the date they were granted leave.
Question: Do dependants of PBS Migrants who apply for LTR as the Partner of a settled person begin their qualifying period again?
Answer: If the applicant was granted LTR under paragraph 284 of Part 8 of the Immigration Rules (following an application made prior to 6 April 2014) they can combine their leave as a PBS dependant with leave as the Partner of a settled person to meet the qualifying period under paragraph 287.
All other applicants must start their qualifying period again.
Yours sincerely
