My ILR was granted on March 2013. Her FLR (M) application was made on Feb 2013, when my ILR application was being considered by the home office. Her FLR M was approved in May 2013. But as I said earlier, she was allowed in this country as my spouse in Dec 2009.Obie wrote:When was the application for ILR made?
Was it before or after may 2013?
Thanks Obie. I don't mind taking a bit of a fight but how strong are her chances of ILR if we applied for SETM now? What could be the ground for refusal and how do I argue against it. We would be happy to pay for a solicitor's services if this case was going to be a surefire success. I knew they would try to circumvent existing rules to make the immigrants pay more in extension fees, but is the fight worth it?Obie wrote:The leave that she was given is wholly flawed, you should fight against it.
She should be able to qualify for ILR now, based on the rules in place at the time of her application.
She would qualify for ILR, but the rules in place does complicates things, and you will therefore, need to fight them a bit.
Thanks Obie. I appreciate your input. Could you please point me to the part of the home office guidelines that is applicable to my wife's situation.Obie wrote:Her chances are as strong as it gets.
The law expressly provide that she ought to qualify.
Therefore any refusal will clearly not be in accordance with the law.
Few people have experience difficulties with them in that regards, but the buttom line is, the law is the law.
Thanks Obie and Vinny. Very much appreciate your input. I do not have legal background and it seems this is too complicated for me to take the fight with the stubborn HO caseworkers, although I am convinced that my wife should have her ILR approved according to the pre April 2014 provisions. Can you suggest any lawyer , legal representative who could take this case confidently? It's quite frustrating to have to wait for another 2.5 years. Many thanks guys!Obie wrote:My legal interpretation still remain valid 10 months down the line.
Thanks Vinny and Obie for your insight. My wife got her ILR approved. You guys gave me the confidence to make the application amidst great doubt and it came to frution. Much appreciated.vinny wrote:4.5 explains the details.
