28 days before 4th July 2021.
He is eligible to apply for ILR, provided he has not been absent from the UK for more than 540 days in all 10 years and there is no single absence exceeding 180 days.
For SET(LR), you do not qualify either on 29th April or 11th June.am i good with applyiong on 29th April - and going for appointment on 11th June 2021?
If you paid online on 29th April, you made an early application for SET(LR). You are eligible only from 13 June.
Page 14:Applications being considered more than 28 days before the required qualifying period is completed
If you are considering an application more than 28 days before the applicant completes the required qualifying period for long residence you must refuse. This is because the applicant has not completed the required period of leave in the UK.
The above says “can” not “must.” So to be on the safer side, best to book biometrics when you complete full 10 years i.e. on/after 11 July.Applications being considered 28 days or less before the required qualifying period is completed
You can grant an application if it is considered 28 days or less before the applicant completes the required qualifying period, provided they meet all the other rules for long residence.
As long you have a valid leave and did not submit biometrics, you can withdraw/cancel your application. You will get a full refund in due course. Also, if you have booked biometrics appointment, you need to cancel it also. If paid appointment, you will get a refund minus £10 if cancelled up to 48hrs before the appointment.
Good spot. I was obviously not thinking straight.CULLINAN wrote: ↑Sun May 09, 2021 1:35 pm28 days before 11th July 2021. For SET(LR) time count starts from the initial date of entry in UK.
Also best to book biometrics only when you complete full 10 years (safer side). These days biometrics run at a 28 days lag anyways.
Refunds will take weeksAsha1234 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 27, 2021 7:47 pmHi,
I had applied for ilr a bit earlier than recommended time period. As such, I had cancelled the application. I got the fees back from steria for the appointment. However, I'm yet to receive refund from gov.
Where do I check the status of refund. Is there a number to call? It has been 6 weeks since cancellation.
Possibly the date is wrong. It may be 29th May 2014. The OP can clarify thisram19 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 4:49 pmHi,
pl clarify.. your initial visa was valid until June 2014. and the next extension was done on May 2015, so there is a gap of almost 9 months ( more than 180 days) so how are you applying for SET (LR) .
Please check whether you are eligible for 10 Yrs route.
got my first via Tier 2 (ICT) on 4th July 2011 valid until 29 June 2014. Arrived in UK on 11th July 2011.
Got the Tier 2 ICT visa extension done on 29th May 2015 (valid until 11 July 2016)
Got 2nd extension on Tier 2 ICT on 20 Apr 2016 (valid until 19 Apr 2020)
For ILR LR route, each person qualify in their own rights and not dependent on their spouse.Asha1234 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 14, 2021 9:33 pmHi,
My husband has applied for set (LR), he is waiting for his decision. I have completed 10 yrs in UK in August. Can I apply for priority as independent or should I wait for my husband ILR decision.
I have to apply within 2 weeks in standard or priority. Just wanted to understand.
Thanks in advance
