We recognise the difficulties customers may experience due to the forms not being updated immediately. Consequently, we are introducing an interim arrangement, whereby applicants who submit applications for settlement on or after 3 April, and have only completed 4 year's continuous leave, will be asked if they wish to vary the grounds of their application to an application for a further period of limited leave to remain. Applicants who do seek to vary their settlement application in this way will be requested either to complete the appropriate application form, or to provide any further information required for their application to be considered.
I think that these sections sum it up:ansaggart wrote:Guys,
Do you have any idea how to read terms like:
"For applications for settlement submitted on or after 3 April, the applicant will need to have completed the new, 5-year qualifying period. If the applicant has not completed the required qualifying period, the application would normally be refused."
What could be consider as abnormal and have my application succesfull?
I am WP holder I would of have qulified for ILR last week.
Thanks,

Personally I see no problem the Government deciding to move from 4 years to 5 years. However the retrospective nature of that is totally unacceptable. The change should only affect people not already in the UK as at the date of change.
Best is to post by Special delivery. It's good idea to send another special delivery cover for returning passports. Good luck!sowhat wrote:it is due on May 31, though my current visa expires on May 22.
btw, what is the best way to post the application: special or recorded delivery. Also is it worth to enclose a return specially delivery envelope to have the passport back in the same way. As I remember 3 years ago I did it but HO sent it with ordinary mail anyway...
it is my main hope that I won't lose my fees.... thanks a lot guys and galstobiashomer wrote:sowhat, are you applying now for ILR after 4 years? I wish you luck, if it works that will be a fantastic precedent!
hopefully at least they will apply the fee to a FLR application if it bounces.
keep us posted.
I have to apply anyway to get the extension. As I understand I should not lose my fees during this transitional period, though it will be quite painful if I do.ansaggart wrote:guys,
I have just spoken to my lawyer about this and he told me to wait another year. he also mentioned that it is impossible to change the rules back.
HR representative from the company had sent me an email yesterday which clearly states I am not offered the position because I do not have ILR and I am advised to call them when I get my ILR (if in few months) and if I get my ILR in a year then I will have to go through the process (alright, one interview instaed of two) again.RobinLondon wrote:Indian_in_UK, get them to write you a letter! It doesn't have to be very long, but it might make a big difference to you and your situation.
As to your writing a letter to Tony McNulty for an "explanation", good luck with that. By that I mean, prepare yourself for another mechanical answer. If I were in your position (which I soon will be), I would do what I recommended in my earlier post. Present them with a real, human situation...they might respond.
I would send it to both. I would also contact Christine Lee so she would help you with a letter. It's a very good example of hardship. Give them a buzz.indian_in_uk wrote:HR representative from the company had sent me an email yesterday which clearly states I am not offered the position because I do not have ILR and I am advised to call them when I get my ILR (if in few months) and if I get my ILR in a year then I will have to go through the process (alright, one interview instaed of two) again.RobinLondon wrote:Indian_in_UK, get them to write you a letter!

I am going to send a letter to Mr. Tony Mcnulty in reply to his letter (same mechanical answer) I got one month ago, will explain him the situation and let us see.
One suggestion please, I have recently moved houses, I had the correspondance with Mr. Tony Mcnulty earlier with MP from my previous address, so should I contact the same MP or should I contact MP (where I am living now) and explain him everything. Both are from Labour anyway.
Look forward to your replies.
