10 years long residence applications

[crb]

god willing we all get through this soon......the wait is emotionally very painfull.....these success stories are pain relif......

[kofy1001]

silent observer until now.

ILR arrived this week finally!

Just thought I post the timeline

Application sent 29th December 2011
Acknowledgement letter sent 30th December 2011
ILR issued - 14th March 2012
ILR received 11th April 2012 (Posted from Liverpool)

Case was relatively straight forward, one extension had first been denied, appeal successful.

With the application I included bank + tax statements, pay slips, mortgage statements (I know not required but I thought it couldn't do any harm!)

Sightly annoyed it took nearly a month to post back the passport, ruined Easter holiday plans but I suppose it's a small sacrifice!

Good luck to everybody!

Dear all,

We (myself and my family) will be applying for ILR under 10 Year Long Residency rule. I started looking into it and came up with the following list of queries. A very big THANK YOU in advance to those who found time and made an effort to clarify on points below. THANK YOU again!!!

1. Do we use SET(0) or FLR(O) application to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain? My guess seems to be SET(O) but thought I'd confirm that with experts? Is Premium service available under "10 Year Long Residence" SET (O) or FLR(O)application? I read somewhere that it isn't available since 2010 or something but again, thought I'd confirm that.

A bit of history:
Me and my wife both came to the UK in September 2002 as students. In 2004 she and our then new born son became my dependants (to my student visa). In 2008 I became Work Permit Holder (old style) with both my wife and son transferred as dependants onto my Work Permit. In 2009 our daughter was born and became my dependant too. In 2011 I got Tier 1 which is valid until 2013. We have no gaps, no lapses and with that hopefully no issues and think our case is fairly straightforward. With that in mind:

2. Is there any need to have solicitor representation? My guess is "NO"?

3. SAR file - me and my wife are thinking of apply for ours in a few days. Is there any need to get them for our kids?

4. Me and my wife came to the UK on 24 September 2002 - am I correct in thinking we can submit our application on 24 August 2012 which is something like 28 days before it is 10 years exactly?

5. Can my wife and 2 kids all apply as my dependants on one application form?

6. If not who can? And who needs to submit a separate application? Kids are 9 and 3 years old.

7. Also, I understand our kids (both born in UK) will be eligible for British Citizenship as we get our Permanent Residency - how do we go about that? Do we apply for their naturalisation once we get HO response to our family SET(O) application
or
Do me and my wife apply under SET (O) and kids apply under some other Naturalisation application?

Many thanks again for your help good people,

All the best to whose who waiting.

Kind regards,
Leo

Thanks 2012

So do I use SET(O) in our case and not the FLR(O)?

Also, I do not believe I would find answers to questions 3 and 7 - any chance anyone could help me out with those?

Many thanks in advance,
Leo01

[Leo01]

Ladies and gentlemen,

Additional to above, one more question if you don't mind

Does my wife need to pass ESOL Level 3 course and then do the "Life in the UK Test" before submitting SET(O)? She speaks perfect English (on par with me and I have 8.5 IELTS points) but has never completed any courses or universities in the UK and was never classed as Skilled or Highly Skilled Migrant.

Many thanks,
Leo

Could you guyz please update ur status, did u contact Mp or whats going on ,,pliz inform us thank you.

[perry254]

Hi guys, I have being in this country since January 2002, unfortunately I lost my passport while on holiday in Africa last year, this made me stranded in Africa for just under 6 months. when i came back, i applied for 'subject access request' which i got in November last year. my question is will my ilr application be treated as straight forward or complicated ilr application i mean in term of processing time. I have always abide by all rules and regulations never out of time renewal. here is the detail of my application submission:

submitted on 20/12/2011
money taken 22/12/2011
acknowledged 23/12/2011
still waiting.........................

I submitted,

copies of previous granted visas
Subject access request
Police report of Lost Passport
Payslip
life in the UK test
obviously, my new passport



Can anyone tell what time i should roughly expect my passport back? Thanks.

Hi Shola, did you get any response regarding your application,, my dear..pliz update us if u have contacted HO its been 4 months now since you sent your application..good Luck

[crb]

maybe there should be a new sticky thread where successful ppl could submit their success time frames only and no discussions at all.....this thread can continue to be a waiting and discussion thread .....and the other will be just postings of time frames from those who have received decision....

[Zainy]

Could anyone please tell me that what is the best way to contact a MP and how to involve MP to check the progress of your application.I don't know if its right or wrong but i will wait for few more weeks and then ask my MP to contact homeoffice.ANY SUGGESTION OR SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE PLEASE.
