Hi Goran...

I would like to thank everyone in this forum who has helped me to get my ILR(LR) on 1st July. It was a great resource for me and wanted to show my gratitude by writing here. Those of whom are still waiting to apply or applying I wish you good luck with your application. Just to help people with the same boat as me here are a few details so that it may help you.

ILR (LR)

7 year student+ 3 year PBS dependent. (All extension was done in time and once had to leave the country to switch)

- those of whom are worried about leaving UK and coming back. please be assured any period less than 180 is fine as long as you had valid visa on leaving and arriving back in the UK. In my case I was 128 days away and was worried about it because some solicitors were telling me that If my gap was more than 90 days i can not apply. that was not true. Also the visa does not have to be in the same category, if you have switched its fine)

I went for the premium service in Cardiff as I found in the past it was difficult to waiting for months and I tell you it is worth spend that extra £400.

Documents submitted
- Payment for premium application fee sheet/email
- appointment booking reference letter/email
- Passport
- BRP
- List of all entry and exit dates during last 10 years in a table. (I attached photo copy of all entry/exit stamps pages from the passport)
- List of all visa I had chronologically for the past 10 years, breaking down issue and valid till date
- Life in the Uk letter
- IELTS letter
- Cover letter for additional grounds such as establish family and private life. (as all new application form now states that any other grounds to remain in the UK must be stated. Source; section 3.4 on the form and front cover sheet )

Additional
- Bank statement for last 3 month.
- Employment letter + 6 months payslip.

Also don't forget to attach photo copies of all documents you have submitted.
My appointment was on 9.40 am. went there around 9.15 it was not busy at all and the staff were very friendly.
i submitted the documents. 15 min later given the bio metric details. after 1.5 hr got my documents back. it was such a relief. Just waiting for my BRP to arrive.

Thank you so much dear seniors and moderators. wish you all the best.

[Shah05]

Congratulations Priyo!!

Just a question, were you been asked to show the additional documents?

Thank you Shah

No I was not asked and Its not mandatory, but I just thought this will make my case stronger as I have been paying tax.

I know some people did not submit any additional documents and still got it.

I took some other documents too but kept with me. like council tax, marriage certificate in case. but not needed everything went smooth.

[Shah05]

Ok great to know. Thanks for promo reply.

HI EVERYBODY ,
Guys seriously need some help regarding my SET LR application as it has been four months and I haven't heard anything as yet from HO. I had to cover 3 month in order to complete my 10 years , so I applied for FLR FP Back in November 2014 which was refused and luckily option of appeal was given I appealed to clear last 2 weeks of February 2015 to Complete 10 years .. and applied for SET LR on 1st of March 2015 then i requested to withdrew my appeal of FLR FP a week after which was withdrawn By tribunals on 26th of April as the judge was not available .Done SET LR biometric on 4th of april 2015. I have no issues with visa extentions all were fine and in time in last 10 years ... Still waiting ..
Whole process in sequence :
Previous student leave expired : 26/11/14.
Applied FLR FP ON 24/11/2014.
FLR FP DECISION 19/02//15.
FLR FP APPEAL 21/02/15.
SET LR APPLICATION 01/03/2015
WITHDRAWAL FLR FP APPEAL REQUEST 8/03/15.
DONE SET LR BIOMETRIC 04/04/15
FLR FP appeal withdrawn 26/04/15
Received satisfaction Survey email from UKVI on 16/06/15
Still waiting ....


My question is that is Home office taking more than 4 months to process SET LR now days? As my friends got their ILR in 3 months time , they applied in January 2015 and November 2014.

I have been reading posts on this site and help me a lot .. I hope will get replies on it ..

Hi smir, They are in order ... actually action was taken by tribunals bit late on my Flr fp appeal withdrawal application hence why appeal withdrawn on 24/04/15 .. In the mean time I had already applied for SET LR on 01/03/15.
FLR FP Appeal date 21/02/15 covered 2 weeks in order to complete 10 years
Applied for SET LR on 01/03/15. While Flr fp Appeal was waiting to be withdrawn..
SET LR BIOMETRIC 04/04/15.
FLR FP Appeal withdrawn 24/04/15. Late withdrawal due to unavailability of judge ..
I did mention in SET LR form and covering letter about my appeal in pending and want to vary my application .

Thanks smir for Ur reply .. on my question ..

Based on the dates you mention I think you made a big mistake to make a fresh application when your appeal was still pending. It is more likely your application may not be considered at all by simply rejecting it as invalid or void based on the immigration law that reject simultaneous application with applicant’s withdrawal of his appeal. This link has more details https://tribunalsdecisions.service.gov. ... 5-ukut-273. I am in the same boat although my application was made on the same day after withdrawing appeal by fax and email. It was common and acceptable practice in the past but this seem to change after the tribunal making clear of the purpose of 3C. What I can tell you is, don't despair becoz everything is possible with your case! I am also patiently waiting after my application early April. All the best.

[smir]

Law says

The date you request to withdraw appeal is the date of withdrawl



And after that only you can make fresh application within 28 days

R u acting alone in your appeal or someone is representing u?

U put yourself in trouble (i hope not) but when u apply set lr u still have appeal pending and u withdrew it after 1 week.

How u withdrew your appeal? by fax or by post?

If fax than effective date is same day when u send them the fax and got the fax sent confirmation.

if post than the day tribunal received the withdrawal letter.

Now pray that caseworker treat your application as withdrawn when he making decision. Otherwise u r in a big big trouble.

[linmkhan]

Thanks for a quick reply guys ,
I have spoken to so many lawyers and they all were gonna do follow the same thing .. initially tribunals did not receive my lawyers first fax of withdrawal then he sent another one that's why it took that long to withdraw .. I already have posted appeal withdraw confirmation to the concerned department of home office and informed them that my appeal has withdrawn ...

[linmkhan]

Moreover , either home office send the file back and ask to apply again when appeal withdrawn or they hold it until your appeal is withdrawn then process it .. same thing happened to my friend his lawyer did not even withdraw appeal and straight away and his lawyer processed ilr .. file came back in a month from HO with a letter stating that withdraw Ur appeal first and apply again .. luckily his appeal withdraw confirmation came just after 2 days he received his ilr file .. then his lawyer enclosed withdrawal confirmation with ilr file and posted again to the home office and eventually after 2 weeks got his ILR ..stay positive .....
Kindly keep uploading Ur replies please
I wish everybody a good luck .
Speak soon ..

[smir]

Which dept did you submit that you withdrawn the appeal




Now just relax and pray to God

Thanks for Ur reply Smir. . Yes I m relax and praying all the time ....However, I coped it from SET LR form ..
Please see below :


14. Contacting Us After You Have Applied

To send us more information about your application, write to the following address (not the one to which you posted your application):

PO Box 306
Liverpool
L2 0QN
and give the following details in your letter:
- the applicant’s full name, date of birth and nationality
- any Recorded or Special Delivery number

Are you saying the fax machine was NOT working or what?

The fact here is your application was made while your appeal was pending. It is against the legislation that prevents a person from making a fresh application until an appeal has been withdrawn. One of the things the HO do is to check and ensure they are not dealing with an application under appeal. Every application, they take not of the CID before they validate the application. It could be that your application was validated considering you were accepted for biometric. It is more likely you might get away with it.

But I don't understand is why you decided to post a withdraw confirmation. This may only attract unnecessary investigations from the caseworker. It is like giving the home office a rope to hang you with it

Congrats Amazing.

Dear Brother Khan1980
you dont need to worry about your visa. InshAllah everything will be fine. me and you are on same boat even though i applied earlier than you. I applied on 5th March 2015 and bio on 2nd April 2015 after that no news yet. I spend time under EEA regulation aslso. I had 5 years resident card of EEA national which is going to expire on 20 August 2015 but my 10 years completed on 1st April 2015. I think time spend under EEA family members applications take bit long to decide because my solicitor said people used to win this type of cases in court that time spent under EEA family member are countable towards 10 years lawful residency. So home office consider court judgements thats why it takes long to decide. I might be wrong but this what i heard.

It's my time to share the great news !
