Am i eligible to apply for a 10 year long residence app

Post by hamrohari » Sat Jan 07, 2017 12:50 pm

Following is my immigration history.
28 Jan 2007: Came to UK under General Student Visa
11 March 2010: Extend my visa under Tier 4 student (1 year)
3 Aug 2010: Switched my visa to Tier1 Post study work (2 years)
31 July 2012: I made Tier 2(Skilled Worker) visa application without COS stating - my employer is awaiting response from Home Office for their license. (My employer’s license was rejected 2 times during the process)
25 January 2013: My application for Skilled worker Tier2 was rejected
29 January 2013: Appealed to First-Tier Tribunal
17 April 2013: First Tribunal refused my appeal
23 April 2013: Appeal to upper tribunal
25 June 2013: Hearing from upper Tribunal, Grant to apply a fresh application
Within 28 days of the hearing I applied a fresh application
August 2013: Got skilled worker Visa
August 2016: Extended Skilled worker Visa (Expires on 25 Jan 2019)
28 Jan 2017: Is going to be my 10 years in UK
Questions:
Will there be any issues for my Long Residence application?
Shall I go for same day application?
My employer’s sponsorship license is expiring on March 2017. Will that be wise enough for my employer not/to renew the license?
I got married on December 2014 and my Mrs is in dependent visa on me. Will she be eligible to apply for a Long Residence too?
Please advise. I would really appreciate your help. Thank you.

Prima facie, your 10 years ILR seems fine.

I would always recommend to go for a postal application for 10 year Long Residence applications as they may contain complications that may move it from the PSC to the postal route anyway.

If you do get ILR(LR), your wife will have to switch to the FLR(M) route, which will reset her clock to zero. She will then need to spend five years on FLR(M) to qualify for ILR.

She needs to switch after you get your ILR.

She can apply under the 10 year ILR(LR) route whenever she becomes eligible. That is unaffected by the FLR(M).

Thank you Simon.

As you are aware, my visa application was rejected before and I did apply a fresh application as recommended by the Upper Tribunal. Will there be any complication?
