One quick question guys, if somebody has completed 10 years in Jan 2014, prior to completion of his current status i.e. Tier1 general (expires in later such Dec 2015) so can he/she apply ILR on 10 years in Jan 2015?

-You need to apply before before his current visa expires so it has to be before Dec 2015 to be a the safe side. Why put your 10 years in jeopardy ?

Moral of the story is how long we can wait(to apply ILR) after the 10 years get completed ?

-Any time you want is the straight forward answer but before your current visa expires or else you leave yourself the risk of becoming an overstayer which might mean your clock will restart.

Also can they apply again on the 10 years ruling after withdrawing the case on 10 years ruling in a past( for e.g. after 6 months)

-Yes you can withdraw your application as long as the decision has not been made and opt apply again as long as you have too much money to waste on another fresh application.

Hi All

I was wondering if anyone has heard about a same day service starting from April 2015 to apply for the ILR under the 10 year category. My work has agreed to sponsor my visa under the current category and put me in touch with an immigration advisory agency. They have let me know that it's hot off the press the the UKBA will be starting same day applications again from April 2015 for this category. This makes my life a lot easier since I was worried I'd have to give my passport up for a few months and I have to travel for work.

But, I can't find any reference to such an announcement or anything on the UKBA website. Any ideas on this one? I can't have been told wrong information since the immigration service is a very reputable large firm who have been operating with my company (also a large multinational - hence the capability for a visa sponsor)

Thanks

Hi workinggirl85,

This is quite an interesting piece of information, please do shed some more details if you can from your immigration advisory. As there is no news anywhere else.

Thanks

Waiting waiting is killing last 2 weeks my file with case worker I don't know when will I get almost 12 years in UK still my ILR wait not over !!!

Hello Dec 17,

Why it is 12 years gone and no ILR what is your case history if you would like to share.

We I have applied on 1st Dec can see most of the December application on the drive got their decision already. And now they have started procession January applications.

I can imagine the delay in my situation might be due to case which isn't really straight forward.

Congratulations to those who have received their approvals and good luck to those waiting.

Regards,

Hi, DMH2014.
They start calculation from the first entry (stamp on your visa in the UK when you landed in Heathrow or entered the UK via some other port). This is the first day of the 10 years period.

Hi, aleem19k.
Congratulations!
Regarding your questions:
1) you can stay out of the UK 90 days during the year before applying for naturalisation.
2) Very important! You should apply for your wife's visa in the country where she is living now. After the getting her visa she will join you in the UK
3) Your passport and its copy, your biometrics and its copy, Marriage certificate, her birth certificate, your bank statements confirming that you have got a relevant income to support your wife - please check the latest salary requirements, your address confirmation the the UK via bills etc. Please see the list in the guidance as it changes all the time.
4) No, they will just ask her if her husband is in the UK now and where you work - that's all what they asked me.
Good luck!
