hi All could anyone help me out sincerely with my queries which am really unable to find the best advice.
Am about to apply for indefinite leave to remain under 10 years long residence and i have following questions in my mind.
1-the total number of days excluding date of departure and arrival date i have spent outside UK are 528 days.Do i still qualify?
2-when counting days by ukba,do they count date left UK and date returned to the UK?
3-how many days in a month counts by ukba?
4-when counting February,does ukba count only 28 or 29 days or full 30 days and same when counts any month of 31 days,do they count actually 31 days or 30 days.
5-i left the UK on 26th of February and came back on 10th of march so how many days i shall be considered outside UK

option(A):13days(including date left and returned option(b) 12 days(considering February 29 days option(c) 13days(treating February 30 days.

Hi, Had been reading this forum and never thought I'd been in this situation now. Had been a student from 15th Sept 2004 until 26th October 2012 finished Masters from UEL. and applied for FLR to attend my convocation due in December 2012 and got rejected and been given a chance for Tribunal on 09th Sept 2014 (Yeah after 2yrs) which was just 5 days short for completing 10yrs still don't know is that good or bad Luck, attended the tribunal on 9th Sept 2014 and tribunal decision was not given immediately, but expected the results would be given for Upper-Tribunal. Tribunal decision was pending and cash hungry Solicitor charged £1500 suggested to apply for SET(LR) along with FLR(M) for my dependent which we did on 11th Sept 2014. Sad news is both of us lost the existing jobs as our employer enquires (Home office Employee Check Services) on the recent applications, ECS came out negative. On 2nd October received Tribunal results as expected had been passed for upper-tribunals, no where to go, no work to do if we go to the solicitor she explains about section 3c & 3d and says HO had sent a wrong ESC and if we go to our employer they just show us the ECS letter from HO, already written many letters to HO but no reply, also need to add that I haven't written my Life in UK as the passport was with HO all this while but requested for a acknowledge copy to sit for the LIUK exam. So confused that I had to come here for proper guidance. Can any1 please suggest what to do next or atleast give a ray of hope. Thank in adv.

SET(LR) & FLR(M) application sent on - 11th Sept 2014.
HO. Acknowledgement received - 15th Sept 2014.
Bio-metrics received on 01/10/2014 and done on 17/10/2014.
Decision still pending.....

Sorry to hear that you have been misled by these dubious lawyers. I would suggest that you close the case with the Upper Tribunal n state that you are making a fresh application based on the 10 year Legal rule. Your legally covered for between 2012-2014 under Section 3c & 3d.

Your lawyer should have made the application request for your during Hearing on the 9th of Sept as you qualified under the 10 year rule sometime in late August.

The lawyer also made a wrong decision for applying for your FLR(M) for your wife when you have not been granted ILR yet ?? He should have maintained that file open at the upper Tribunal so your wife will still be covered under 3c & 3d ( Playing the system)

I hate to say this but your Lawyer is not a good lawyer, take his advise with a pinch of salt

i Kindly someone suggest me I completed lawful 10 yeas on March this year and next year march through Tier 1 I will complete 5 year.
My wife got spouse visa on Dec 2011 in Pakistan and came here in June 2012 and she went back on Sept. 2012. She came back again in July 2013 and since this date she lives here.
My question is which route for getting ILR would be more beneficial and less risky

Either
1) If I apply on 10 year long residency base - But what will happen then with my wife ?
2) If I apply on Tier 1 base - But what will happen then with my wife ?

I am just worried about my wife as some people said as she got spouse visa before july 2012 so she could only spent 2 years to get ILR but many says she is to spend 5 years from the date of getting FLRM visa

Please help me if you know something

I will really appreciate your suggestion

Thanks
Regards
