Spatcus,I appreciate your reply but if you dnt have any information/advice then please don't waste your time and others. I know whether I need to be ashamed or not Atleast I have the courage to accept my mistake. Before commenting on others character you should check your past and u are also one of those who were working for more than 20hours while you were on student visa. That is also breach of your immigration status.

First of all after giving citizenship they can't take away your citizenship because after that the person will become stateless which is not possible as per HRA.

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?
spatacus wrote: 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.

Hello Longresidence12,
I did not say you should be ashamed of yourself in what you did in the past. I only said it was a shame that you found yourself in that situation that led to you using deception to obtain your visa extensions. PLEASE READ MY SENTENCE AND UNDERSTAND IT.
There is no need for you to be insultive, we are here to help one another with advice and share our experiences. And for your information i have never breached my immigration status in the UK. And second of all, citizenship can be stripped any time HO deemed necessary, remember you were a citizen of a particular country before you became British (i.e if you become British), so if this is the case they would expect you to revert to your original home country.
Please remember that we are only here to share ideas/experiences not to be aggressive or disrespectful

Its a bit cheeky but If I were you I would have preferred to get my ILR through Tier 1 general (As you already earning 50K so Tier 1 earning points shouldn't be a problem for you) and apply premium service rather than applying through Long residency and allow HO to examine my all previous applications thoroughly. But on a serious note it is true if HO comes to know at any point in future that if someone had used deception in his/her previous application and if they have solid evidence to proof it then they have a right to revoke their ILR/ passport. Regardless of when that deception happened and they dont really care if someone is professional or not.You should have your home country passport so they dont really care about of your stateless status or not so please act cautiously.

Option 2 but complete your full 10 years first and and then apply for your 10 yr ILR (28 days may not be valid in your case as you you are on 3D and you currently dont have any valid visa which covers your full 10 yrs residency period. Also do not withdraw your appeal and go for hearing in February. You have a family here mashallah so act wisely and leave appeal option open as well.

Hi Guys

I applied for Entrepreneur Visa last April 2013
till September 2014 i haven't received no reply except calling them n they said it is still in process. My ten years will be completed in January. I have varied my application on 10 September 2014 from entrepreneur application to IlR (Early Application) four months before . Got acknowledgement on 18 September. Money has been taken out as well.
I had differences with partner so thats why i varied my application. In Mid of December 28 days rule will start.
I also mentioned here before regarding giving biometric again.

Now my Query is I haven't received Biometric since varying application in September, Should i chase Home office for it or should i wait for home office response and in the mean while my ten years will complete as well ?
What will be the outcome of my case according to your experiences As i am near to 28 days rule (Mid of December)?
I haven't received my previous application documents and fees.

Kindly response to my queries.

Regards

Ramos

@ longresidence12 now you should be really ashamed of the way you speak appalling. Thank god you didn't talk about beloved here ;-) First and foremost when some says .. "Its A shame " it doesn't mean shame on you ( take example when everyone is going to party just 1 person has some urgent work then the rest of the team says " Its shame you can't come with us for party" Not shame shame or shame on you for not coming to party ..... I hope you get that right you are planning to live in Uk people will laugh with their back side if you don't even know simple things.

Now coming to accusing Spatcus about his student and work stuff its immature to talk about someone when you yourself said have used deception while making an application ;-) You would not get big by talking ill about others ;-) ..even than some people are giving you advice so be happy or just go to your favourite solicitor we are here to help each other not for any other reason


Hope people change their attitudes atleast after getting their ILR's .

Hello Ramos,

Hi Mates,

Can you please clarify what you are referring here as 28 days rule coming in mid-December. I'll apply for ILR next year. My current visa expires 11 days short of 10 years. As per the current rule (you can apply 28 days before 10 years), I thought my current visa covers me until I send my application. If the 28 days is scrapped, then I probably need to extend - may be?

Regards,
SJ
