May be worth applying for her/your SAR file.What services are [b][i]not[/i][/b] available? wrote:applying for permanent residence on the basis of 14 years' residence;
Long residence applications based on 14 years of illegal residence are not able to be processed in-person. You will need to do the postal route and be prepared to wait up to a year or two for a result. At a minimum, I would expect to wait about six months. Unfortunately these applications do take a long time, as the Home Office needs to examine your life particulars in detail. Moreover, I also reckon that they don't feel compelled to look upon these sorts of applications as bearing any special priority in comparison to migrants on established spousal, economic or asylum routes. Annoying for you, but sadly true.kstjames86 wrote:I don't think she got any leave, though she claims to have had right of abode as she came to the country aged 7 from Barbados before it gained its independence. It is my understanding that she had a temporary visa but the pages are conveniently missing from her passport!
Thanks for your advice, I've already taken and passed the Life in the UK test, so I guess the next step is to proceed with the application. Would I be able to apply in person, I don't know if my case is straight forward enough to fit the criteria?
