Please guide me I know I am asking lot of questions but too much confused and will highly highly appreciate your response on all questions

Thanks in Advance

Hi Shahabrar,
If your wife and son have a valid leave to remain/ visa to stay than they don't need to apply for the extension of their visa yet, as you mentioned that they have another 6 months and than they will qualify for their own 10 years long residency ILR. Mind it they can apply 28 days earlier than completion of their 10 years, if it helps in your case.
As you mention that you are ready to apply so considering the present time line of 17-20 weeks by the time you get a positive reply to your application, it will be almost time for your wife and son to apply for their SET(LR)
Regards to your daughter that is born here, you can apply for her registration as a British National on form MN1, but that will be after either you or your Mrs ( any one of you) gets your ILR.
I hope it helps. All the best with your and your family applications.
Kind regards

Hiya,
whats the best way to expedite ones application through MP, is it after we sent the application to Home office or Before


many thanks

This long waiting time is very annoying. I waited two years before vary my application in mid march and now LR application is also taking more than 4 months..

Guys will sending MP covering letter will be any useful to speed up the outcome of application? One year they took to decide the tier 1 entreprenuer app which was refused and then won appeal after one year and then vary application taking more than 5 months.

The problem is that they applied 30 days after I received my refusal letter. can anyone help me to find out what to do to be able to apply for ILR???

Thanks

Dear modern Newton,

I have been also waiting for nearly 4 months and 2 weeks and you are right that it does get to you sometimes but chin up, we have waited for so long, let's have bit more patience and I'm sure good news is just around the corner.

Kind regards

Hello ijaz.khanz,
congratulations on your wife's successful ILR. Could you please share your wife's visa history and what category of ILR she applied on?

Congratulations Ijaz.khans! Enjoy your moment!

[amason]

Just an observation. I see people are adding non set lr application time line on Google. I suggest in other to have a clear picture of the application process they should start a new page for their respective categories. If not checked members may be given wrong advice since each application is different.

Kind regards

Hi Shah Abrar,
Firstly I am really sorry to be replying late, just saw your post.
Regards to CCJ, frankly my opinion is better to declare that, as what if they know once you have applied. The rule is that you should have paid it at least, but as you said that you haven't so it is a point of concern, but on a positive note, I have certainly never heard any body getting rejected for the reason of a CCJ on their file. So I would suggest to declare it.Please try to pay it off if you can, just in case......you know what I mean.
Regards to the points on the licence, lots of members got them and they declared it. I don't think there is any issue with that as the matter was never taken to the courts, so declare it no issues with that.
many thanks.
Kind regards
Shahjee

Hello,
You are OK to apply on or after 9th Sept. Your case is pretty much similar to mine. I came to the UK on 7th Oct 2004 and going to apply on 10th Sept.
Also list of docs you have mentioned are exactly what are needed for this application. Also include pre-paid envelope for the smooth returning of your documents and for tracking purpose as well.
Good luck

Arsal

We applied on 22 August.

Hi Tier 4,
Yes that is pretty normal, mind it both the applications are dealt by different teams, hence different time lines. Once it reaches to the case worker stage than they will hold further progress on her application, until your one is decided. So no need to worry.
All the best.
Kind regards
