Priority Service for in-country ILR (10 year route) application

[reachkk]

Hello, I am applying for ILR via 10 year route. I entered UK in 2011 Nov via Tier2 ICT (4.5 years) VISA from India, and then then stayed here on Tier 2 ICT dependent (10 months) and finally switched to Tier 2 General VISA (5 years). I will complete 10 years in Apr 2022.
How do I answer this Q?

Do you have a previous visa, entry clearance or leave to remain where you had to prove your knowledge of English?

Is above answer for me YES?, If yes, then next Q is

Tell us the previous visa, entry clearance or leave to remain you had

What should I enter here BRP number?

Also, do I have to enter all the BRP numbers I previously had? As I got 1 year extension twice 2014, 2015

Thanks, appreciate your help.

sorry, just to add that I did my MBA in the UK in 2009-2010 through a study VISA, but I travelled back to India and had a break more than 6 months before I returned back in 2011.

Hello @ywlgy,

If I chose YES it does not ask me about my English qualification and any degree documents in my list of documents needed.

If I chose NO it asks me about my degree and asks me to submit my degree certificate, whats the right option for me?

Also, one more Q, I did my MBA in UK from Lancaster University, does that meet the English degree certificate criteria? Meaning I dont have to go through NARIC process?

Thanks

[ywlgy]

Choose Yes. The checklist doesn't ask for it because you have provided it in the previous application.

Hi All,

I am applying for settlement through 10 year route from within UK. When I reach payment option I get only the following option

Standard service : pay 2404.00 GBP, most people get a decision within 6 months of submitting their on-line application

I am not getting the option to pay £800 more for the priority service.

I want to know if I can get super priority service for settlement through 10 year route. Is the priority service available as I was told it wasnt available owing to UKBA resources being diverted to Ukraine VISA applications.

Appreciate your response.

Online Application - Why there is no Super Priority Service Option ?

Continuing on this topic, I have made applications for me and family through priority service and I got appointments 2 weeks down the line after i logged in the application at 1 am in the morning over 2 days.

MY Question is I made 4 separate applications, but I want to communicate to the UKBA that these are part of same family. Is cover letter the best way to communicate that? Can anyone share a format of cover letter to convey that 4 applications made are part of family application?

Appreciate a response again

If you have made 4 individual SET(LR) applications, they are all treated as individual and each person must pay the fee and priority fee for each individual application.

Set LR does not have a 'family application' concept. Each person must meet the requirements on their own.

[reachkk]

Thanks CR001 for the reply.

We have made separate applications and paid for priority service for each of us. Each of us also meets the requirements individually as we all came into UK at same time in 2012.

My point being letting UKBA know (through the cover letter) that these 4 applications come from one family will just avoid risk of one application being rejected for some reason and strengthen our overall case.

[CR001]

You can't do that as it makes no difference.

Each person has to meet the requirements on their own. If 3 do and 1 doesn't, the 1 will get a refusal.

There is nothing you can do to prevent this

Set LR is completely indvidual and has nothing to do with any other family applying on their own set LR.
