No. You do not need to include uk born children in financial requirement. It is only for your wife in your case. You can directly apply for registeration MN1 for kids after ILR.

Thanks for reply
As I will have to show these 2 children in section 4.4
and they will be subject to immigration control until my ilr is given. So should I mention them in covering letter as I easily meet financial requirement

10 years long residence applications

Post by Darvesh » Sat Mar 28, 2015 11:55 am

Hello Guys

im here looking some expert advice, i will be qualifying for ILR on bases of long residency on 02-05-2015 (exactly 28 days before i arrived in uk ) however there are bank holidays on 03-05-2015(Friday) and 06-05-2015 (Monday) hence my application will not be received at HO until 07-05-2015 ,the earliest.

As we are probably aware the HO increase visa fee from 06 April every year(this year they increase it from 1093 to 1500 pounds however no specific date is set in this regard so for).

Now question is "will my application fall under new fee or HO will consider my application under previous fee?"
or
"shall i delay my application till new visa fee enforced as well as new version of application come out?"


Thanks for anticipating

Fill form flrm and pay the full cost, then draft a letter telling HO about the pending application and tell them that you want to vary it to the new one. They should return your flrfp money, but you can tell them as well in the letter to remind them.

The new fee is starting from April the 6th so you will be paying the new fee anyway

If you look back on some post in this forum, HO will automatically add those children to your list of dependent, hence increasing the amount of money you will have to show,so if your earnings cover them then that is fine and yes mention that.

Fees is deducted on the basis of date of posting your application i.e if you send on 02/04 fees will be based on structure applicable on that day...not the day when they recieve. Postal mark on envelope by royal mail on sent mail determines the date.

Hi, I have a question may be you guys could help me out.
I came in uk in 2009 on a student visa now recently I have applied for Non EEA family permit. So If I receive this permit I can stay 5 more years. That means around after 4 and hallf year I will be eligible for ILR. What If i get divorced before that and still continue to live for 4 and half year without applying for ROR? Will I be still eligible for applying ILR on my own? Please advice me. Thanks

4 1/2 years is a long time and i don't think any advise given to you now will be relevant then.

Omor4real wrote:Since your son was born here you will register him using form MN1 after you receive your ILR

when you make the ILR you will draft a letter telling home office about the application you have pending and you want to defer it to the ILR and tell them to return the money for FLR FP. Note pls pay for the ILR and FLR M in full and expect them to return the other money. Also remember to make copies of all the entry and exist on your passport as you will need them to fill the form.

In regards to your Mrs with the letter telling them to hold her application, yes that is what they will do, some people on the forum said they received the application before even telling HO to start, but the best advice is to tell them to treat it once you receive your ILR. Check the requirement for your wife to make sure you are ready.
searoze wrote:Hi
Yes you need proof of income (£18600 per year) along with English and LIUK test to qualify for FLR(M).
As your current visa expires in Oct so I assume your dependant's visa will be till same day. You can apply your ILR and then MN1 for your child. Once you get your ILR and register your child as British then you can go for FLR (FP) 10 year route for your spouse.
And later your spouse can switch onto FLR M (If needed) when you can meet the requirements.
Hi Guys, As I am a NOOB & asking too many questions, I have gathered my posts in one thread, please advice me there: http://www.immigrationboards.com/indefi ... 83562.html
Hope that will be helpful to other's in future who have same problem as me.

THANKS a million for being so helpful :)

You dont have to provide date. just normal details such as that you recorded your biomatrics as part of previous application...as (provide detail of type of visa you applied for) etc. they have record of all biomatrics done anyway. Dont panic about these small details. No body remembers dates.

Thank you,
Kind regards,

Mate you are the first one to be interviewed with TOEIC background (atleast in this forum).

If I was you then on top of what prashantsoni advised I would also prepare my self with the TOEIC exam process and what had happened on that exam day and the process etc.

i.e got down at ------ train station, checked the roll number, digital photo taken (i dont know whether they do as i never gave TOEIC), how you paid the Exam Fees, which date was you exam etc

There was an interview conducted by UKVI on the basis of past toeic history for one my friend who was in Tier 2 visa. They visited the employer and asked these question

How you paid fees (proof)
which date you gave exam (questioned again and again)
what pattern was it (i.e first reading or listening or speaking)
which station you got down. (how you reached the exam centre)
why that exam centre
how you found that centre (i.e google search, newspaper friend)
Anyone accompanied you
anything you remember on that exam paper

These are the question I remember
Hi everyone who had toeic so please go on this page sign the petition
https://www.change.org/p/home-office-uk ... themselves
they need more 125 to reached 1500.
many thanks
