10 years long residence applications

[Spatacus]

hello users, please advice.
i have reached 10 years so am to apply but i realised my passport expired on 5/june/ 2014. i sent it to my country embassy on 3/ september/2014 for renewal. it came on 12/ november/2014 with current one. the problem is the gap between 5/june/2014 when it expired and 10/ november/2014 ,when it was issued and came with the new one. for this period i can only provide a few medical documents and a bank statement. i cant provide more documents other than life in uk test notification pass and english test proof.

i would like to know wether providing passports alone, english doc, liuk doc are enough?
but there is this statement on the form that states that you should provide a list of documents below for periods that you cant provide a passport and i believe the period they are talking about in my case is between expirely of old passport and issue of new one. i only have 2 categolies of documents to cover this short period which are bank statement and medical docs. are these documents enough?
or does it matter. i have 5 vizas in old passport. the rest has been biometrics which i have been sending bck to ho for each next visa renewal. i also lost my last bio residence permit but i informed police and made application for replacement. i came in uk on 05/09/2004. status all student visas, applied on time.
sorry for using this on reply.

Hello salle45,
You are ok. SET (LR) requirements does not require you to proof gaps in your own country passport renewal. They worry about your gaps in your visa renwals if you have any.As far as I know the requirements for SET LR are:
1) Photocopy of all your passports (bio pages and stamped pages if have travelled)
2)All Original passports bearing your visas for the period of 10 years
3) Original life in the UK test certificate
4) Original English Language certificate (UK BSc/MSc degree certificate will be accepted)
5) Passport photos
6) Correctly filled SET (LR) application form (strongly advised to always check for the latest version of the form before submission)
7) Any existing BRP should also be included.
Hope I have not missed out on any required documents.
Thats all you need bro. You do not need to submit any bank statements etc.

I'm sad that people that applied after me have received their approvals but nevertheless, congratulations to all who have recently received their docs back..patiently (not really ) waiting for mine too

I hope this is the right topic to ask my question.
I intend to apply for my 10 years long resident SET(LR) application ,but I have a 6 day gap between a visa application and also another gap of 31 days between my 2 passports. I just want to make sure that these don't break my 10 years long residency.

I also have 2 convictions 1.)driving with the wrong license in 2006( Went to court and fined)
2.) No car insurance in 2008( out of court fine and 6 points on license).

Visa dates are as follows:-
Student Visa 17/09/14 to 31/10/03 Issued at arrival
UK Ancestry visa 05/12/03 to 02/12/07 Application raised 06/11/03 according to SAR.
UK Ancestry visa 13/11/07 to 12/11/12 In Time Application.
10 Year Long Residence 2 Year leave to remain 24/01/14 to 24/01/16 In Time App. & BRP issued.

Is there anything I should worry about. Thanks

Hello Arsal385,
Point of correction mate, i did not miss it, as this is not a requirement to be met. It is the application fee and this is clearly stated on page 4 (section-1) in the form.

Hi maddysheffield,
Yes i checked it in the afternoon but nothing yet.

What say @F.khan? weekend @ Ministry of Sound?

PS: with or without ILR

[fielddrive]

Really?? i thought you submitted on the 21st of August 2014??

yes, i did indeed....

[Spatacus]

For those forum members who have been successful in getting their ILR.....

#whatisbetterthanfreedom? How do you feel now? Is there any significant difference from before you were granted ILR and now?

[ac2107]

approvals date can span as wide as three weeks for applications submitted on the same date (based on info from the tracker of august approvals). keep a close eye for the next three weeks, particularly for the applications made around 20s August. wish all august applicants will hear good news before xmas.

Hi

I am planning to apply for ILR on the basis of Long Residence during Jan15. No issues with timing, gap etc except the below,

I have used deception to obtain my PSW in 2008 (I know that I committed an offence and I am guilty for what I have done because of some worse situation at that time).

I know personally that HO has documents to prove my deception (don't ask how I know it) and I thought they would refuse my tier 1 application in 2010 but they didn't reject either the initial application or the extension.I am a qualified professional and earning over £50k and I think that is what saved me.

Can they actually refuse my Indefinite application based on previous deception(5years ago)?

what are my options if they pick up this PSW deception issue in my ILR application?

Any reference provided will be helpful. Seniors and moderators please help. Are there any precedent?

Hi Longresidence12,
its a shame that you used deception in obtaining your extensions in the UK. Just hope that HO won't find out. But remember that at anytime they found out...wether you have become a British Citizen or not they will stripe you off any type of visa or citizenship you have and you may face imprisonment and deportation afterwards.
However, i will advise you to pray hard that HO won't find out. There is no two ways about it once it is discovered.
I wish you well and good luck.
