Hi Every one
Please 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 Overall she spent here 3 months in 2012. She came back again in July 2014 and since this date she lives here. Altogether she spent so far 9 months in uk
My question is which route for getting ILR would be more beneficial and less risky for us


I have already applied ILR on 10 year base in 1st week of October 2014 and I will be eligible to apply ILR on Tier 1 base on 24th Feb 2015

Some friends suggesting me if I will not get decision till Feb 2015 then I need to apply ILR on Tier 1 base with my wife . So in this way my wife will get ILR as well because of 9 July 2012 rule.


Please help me if you know something

I will really appreciate your suggestion

Hello Cisco89,
You mentioned that you have already sent your 10 years ILR SET(LR) application to HO since October this year, if this is the case then you cannot no longer apply for Tier1 based on 5years.
Your wife will need to apply for her spouse visa of ILR (Spouse of Settled Person) in the UK using FLR(M) once your ILR is granted next year.
However, your wife has not spent enough time in the UK + the rule has changed and now your wife will have to apply using FLR(M) and wait for 5 years before she will be qualified for her ILR (Settlement).
I wondered why you waited since March till October before applying for your own 10 years Long Residence Settlement, you should have applied since March this year and you would have gotten it by now. But anyway you have now applied in October so just sit tight and wait for your approval after which you can apply for your wife using FLR(M) and she has to meet the financial and ENGLISH requirements.
1)Financial requirements-----Either you are earning minimum £18,600 per annum (without any child applying at the same time)
----Or She is earning minimum of £18,600 per annum (without any child applying at the same time)
---- or Both of you are earning minimum of £18,600 per annum (without any child applying at the same time)
2) B1 English Certificate.
3) Documentary evidence that both of you are living together for 2years in the UK

All the detailed lists of requirements are in the form and its guidance. click the links below;

Yes.

If they haven't decided on your SET(LR) application by the time you are eligible for SET(O) under Tier 1 (General) then you may vary your SET(LR) to SET(O).

Hi honorable members of this forum
I'm going to apply for my wife visa extension on flr(m) in January and will ask home office to put her application on hold under mine decided which was made in November on 10 years basis. NOW QUESTION
I`m with current employer for the past 5 years. i have been salaried since June 2011 and details are
salary from June 2011 to march 2014 = 18000/anum
Salary from April 2014 to September =18450/anum ( £450 pay rise)
salary from October 2014 to on ward =19200/anum (£750 pay rise)
her visa is valid until 30th January 2014. as i can see my current salary is above the income threshold of 18600 but the problem is i have this been only from October 2014 which means only 3 payslip on this level and i have to apply her visa before i get paid at the end of January. please let me know what are my option now and what option i need to choose when filling her flr m application.
thank you for your help and support and may Allah almighty reward you well for your help in this matter

hello spactus,mate that entire HO document does not answer my question as this is the question even lawyers get confused.

[Kindsoul]

Can somebody plz advice me on the this.
Hi everyone all senior members
I have applied on 15th of sep 2014 for ILR(LR) and still waiting for the result. I have also sent my
Wife's application and asked them to put on hold until I get my ILR . NOW yesterday I have received a letter
Stating that your application is put on hold ( as expected) due to your sponser's outstanding application in LIVERPOOL. but further they have asked me ;

“It is noted that your child is not currently a British Citizen. Therefore, we would wish to know what your intentions are in respect to your child's permission to be in the United kingdom, given that your spouse has yet to obtain indefinite Leave to Remain".

I have not sent my child's application because my daughter already has visa till April 2016 and I will apply for british citizenship( will automatically qualify for British Citizen, born in UK ) for her as soon as I receive my ILR.

Has anybody experinced this? Or have knowledge in terms of responding to this query.

Do I need to inform them or how ( sending copies of her passport & visa) OR simply reply them mentioning that I will be applying for BC soon I get my ILR. Suggestion please.

Many thanks to all.
Baz

[vinny]

Just say child is entitled to, and will, register for British citizenship immediately after a parent is granted ILR.

They may impose extra financial burden on spouse's FLR(M), due to child, before child becomes British.

If I am not wrong ... its counted in days rather than months . 180 days which is less than 6 months .....so no question of months ....yes at places it does say 6 months but it's calculated as 180 days only .....

When they say 6 months they considering 30 days PCM i.e. 6mx30d=180days

[TheJuryMustDie]

Just called the HO to enquire about the status of my application. The lad on the other side said my application hadn't been allocated to a case-worker yet.

When I inquired as to the delay in allocating it, he said it might be that they'd need further information or carrying out investigations.

Now, the wait is made even more unbearable
