10 years long residence applications

[imraniqbal2010]

hello to everyone i was in the country as student + psw+EEA2 now my 10 years completed this January. for last three years i was on EEA2 (spouse visa) now i am applying for ilr do i have to show my spouse exercising EU treaty like her p 60s or last 3 years pay sleeps or any evidence like we are staying together. as in set (LR) form they are not asking any such information .it will be a great help if u share ur knowledge. thnak you

No, You dont need to send any of ur spouse documents. Just your passports should be enough. I have submitted same.

An EEA2 RC holder has the right of residence based on the activities called treaty rights of its EU national partner. Therefore, in order to count that time legal towards 10 years of legal residence you will have to send the evidence of treaty rights of your EU national for the duration you spent as EU national family member (eea2 holder). Although set (lr) does not ask that but they are mandatory.

I had checked with Malik Law solicitors b4 I sent my application and I was told it's not required.

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.

Hi Vinny, thanks for your advice, after reading the link you provided regarding the financial burden, my understanding is that if they include my daughter in my wife's form then it will be 22,400 if not then 18,600 if I am correct. I have shown my income of 23,624.28 in my wife's application which will be sufficient to cover the financial conditions I guess. However, I have not replied to them regarding my daughter's query as I mentioned earlier.

In the link you provided, one of the person suggested that it's better to wait for your ILR then reply to them saying that you have obtained ILR and going to apply for british passport for your dependant ( daughter).
OR
should I send them them a reply as you previously suggested that she is entitled and will apply for BC as I easily meet the financial requirement. Do you know will this have any effect on my ILR applications decision making process ?( delaying until I send them a reply). Please advise . I really appreciate your help.

I will take further step after your advice. Thanks very much.
Kind regards
Baz

Members before us ran this forum efficiently. Now it's our turn till we get our ILR then pass on to upcoming ones. So please do not ruin the spirit of this forum.
The topic of this forum is " 10 years long residence applications" ( set (LR) applications).
Request to all valuable members
---- if somebody have question, ask it.
---- if somebody knows the answer, give it.
---- if somebody got related information, share it.
---- if somebody ask Qs related to any other topic please either ignore it or guide him to the appropriate forum i.e. Set(FM), Set(O), Naturalization, Citizenship etc.
---- and finally if somebody ask silly question ignore it (no comment).
This is the best way forward. Congratulation to all those who got their ILR and best wishes who are still waiting.

Likewise, its a shame people who came here few years after us have got their passport sorted long time ago and we are still struggling to get our ILR.

@miam-Suraj

Calling Ho would make no difference as they don't keep a log of the calls we make . ( I can confirm that because I asked this question only today when I spoke to a wonderful Lady ).

Now coming to the Letter ( Its a standard letter which they send if they have a reason where they think they cannot process your application with in 6 months due to complexity of the application )

One reason they sent this letter to you is because when they confirm they are dealing with September applications you can argue with them that you applied in Aug and not received response .....

You may get decision by 5th FEB if not I'm sorry you need to wait for more time .

Couple of of members did receive letters in the same way its hard for me to even write this but its reality .

Share your immigration history please if you don't mind

Be strong

Calling HO to know your case status doesn't affect the outcome of your case at all. I usually call them every week and this week I called them twice and they told me that my application is yet to be completed.
Can you please highlight the detail of your visa history of the last 10 yrs. Did you get your SAR report before applying for SET LR. SAR clearly shows the complete information of all of your historic visa detail plus any anomaly in your past visa application.

You case seems to be complicated. Did you manage to get your SAR before you applied your application?

[Arsal385]

my histor is complex but i met lawful continuous residencey requirement and i studied it thoroughly

Were there any comments in your SAR application visa summary page?
Usually the mention dates of application raised and any comments on out of time application.

@Mian-Suraj

I'm sorry to say this is definitely an example of complex case but don't worry things will be fine but will take some time .

Even though you applied in time HO is not so brill at times

1. You have 46 days between visa for the first time ( 12-dec-2005 visa expired and next visa 27-jan 2006)

2. You had 33 days beween ( 30-nov 2006 visa expired ... next visa 02-jan-2007)

3. You had 167 days ( 31 march 2009 expires ... next visa date 14 sep 2009 )

In the above places though you may have applied in stipulated time ( HO may want to make sure that on these three occasions you did not break any rules mate and definitely it will take some time .

About college its okay you did exactly what needs to be done and you has valid visas .

You know what I would be happy that they are still considering the case rather then crazy HO sending rejection mian-suraj

Be strong its just that HO wants to make sure they check these breaks and see if you in fact applied on time and hence they cannot make a quick decision.

[tsl]

Hi guys,

Need some help and advice from members please.

If a set lr application is refused:

1.can that person do a fresh set lr application straight after the refusal?
2.can that person appeal the decision and in the mean time do a fresh set lr application?

And do you know how long roughly does it take to get a hearing for the appeal?

Many thanks

@tsl,if an application which has been resubmitted within twenty eight days does not break the lawful continuous residence and the time starts when the letter of invalidity deemed to have been received by applicant.

You need to check refusal ground first. If you think they refused your application on false grounds then you can challenge their decision providing you got appeal right. Bear in mind if you visa is still valid you will not get appeal right instead you will get review right which I think usually takes usually 3-4 months or probably more.
If you think HO refused your application on genuine grounds then you need to wait first and then re-apply when you think those grounds have been resolved.

@suraj,mate really sorry to hear that as anyone of us in your place would be feeling same as you are and this is quite natural but let it be clear that your case is a kind of complex but the letter they have sent it to you is the standard format letter which is intimating you that do not get worry if you do not receive your decision by 5th of february so it may take a month or twice late but not necessarily.mate you could do nothing at this occasion besides waiting with a big heart and pray for yourself and for us all but at the end you will get your approval.
