10 years long residence applications

[Damanisshallo]

Probably £7,200 as she worked part time and found it hard to find full time.

The following equation is used:
(x minus 16000) divided by 2.5 = y
Where x is the total amount of savings held and y is the amount which can be used towards the financial requirement.

In your case it should be 18600-7200=11400

11400*2.5+16000=44500

So, my understanding is that you need 44500 for at least 6 months. Having said this my calculations are based on your wife's application I've not included your daughter yet!

I know it's scary but my advice would be for you to wait until you get your ILR and then after 6 months try your luck. Unless you can manage with your savings.

Thanks for this. I dont think I can afford this much savings!

What if I get a job earning £23000 soonish...?? Do I have to wait a year to show that I have been earning this much??

6 months

HO really have turned into devils i think....its such a long wait

[Damanisshallo]

How much i have to show the maintenance ?

The requirement is that you are able to maintain yourselves "adequately without recourse to public funds". The current guidance is that this means you will have access to at least £105.95 per week between you, after payment of rent/mortgage, council tax, and any standing debt repayments.

Read down the page the link and it conforms that you can show you are able to do this by providing proof of your earnings, as well as savings and some third party support (if necessary).

Thanks for your prompt response, but i did not get your reply could you please read my previous post again and advise me if you can??

[Damanisshallo]

Thanks for your prompt response, but i did not get your reply could you please read my previous post again and advise me if you can??

I meant you were just unlucky for getting struck into something which had nothing to do with you. Further I said I don't think there could be many people who have experienced what you are going through.

I further went on to explain that, people with straight forward cases are waiting for their applications to be considered for more than 6 months but in your case since you do not have your documents along with your application it could take longer than usual. Overall this is my personal opinion. Also I don't see any issue with your case as its not your fault.

I wish I am wrong but let's just hope for the best.

The safest option is to make an application for Tier 1 Extension and then Vary your application to SET(O).

By doing this you'd neither lose money nor time coz by the time the UKBA opens your application form, send it to the payment processing team and once the payment is taken, you'd have crossed those 3 days and I bet even before sending it to the Case Worker Unit your documents would be re-directed to Settlement department.

My Advise : To delay it further send a Personal Cheque which could atleast take two days to clear.

Damanisshallo Thanks for your opinion. You did mention that you know someone who got ILR 33 days short of completing 10 years. Is it recent case? Secondly is there anything I can do now or just wait? Thirdly if it does get refused, will they return my passport to make a fresh application as that solicitor is suggesting and legally can I do that? your opinion will be highly appreciated. Thanks

It was back in Jan 2012. You got to wait for a decision. If they do (GOD forbidden) refuse your application, they should allow you with an appeal right as you do not have any more valid leave. I suspect the suggestion made by your solicitor. I think Section 3C/3D would be lapsed if you make a fresh application. However, you can appeal and win.

Show your solicitor the below just to ensure if he is aware of this.

If no appeal is brought in time, leave to remain which is extended by 3C or 3D will lapse

Thanks for the information. Actually i was also apprehensive making a new application without valid leave to remain. However if things do come to appeal, what would be the grounds of my appeal?

Thanks

2 visit was for 5 months
my tier1 visa is going to expire on the 1 feb 2013 i came to uk on student visa 31 Jan 2003 can i be eligible for the 10 years visa as my visa is going to expire on the 1 feb 2013 can i apply for the 10 years visa after Jan 1 2013 will i be elligible As i already said the entry date is 31 Jan 2003 on my passport when i first entered the Uk as student but i actually got my entry clearance on the 10 Nov 2002 my question is should i have to count the entry date to UK or else can i start from the Entry Clearance from 10 Nov 2003 the visa issue Date as there is provision that you can apply for the ILR if you have entered the Uk with in the 90 days period from the date of issue of the visa, Can you please clarify with regard to this

my tier1 visa is going to expire on the 1 feb 2013 i came to uk on student visa 31 Jan 2003 can i be eligible for the 10 years visa as my visa is going to expire on the 1 feb 2013 can i apply for the 10 years visa after Jan 1 2013

First thing first, I presume 90 days does not apply to 10 Yr LR Rule. Second whats the point to argue on this NOW as you've already crossed that period in question.

It is 3rd of Jan today, you can apply any time between today and 1 Feb 2013.

31 Jan Minus 28 days ; you qualify to apply

Has anyone in August heard any good news?

I know there are june/july applicants still waiting...but I saw someone who applied in september and got it soon...think it was FLR to SETO application.

I am getting a little impatient

[zak786]

Thanks a lot

Hello All,

Applied 06/06/2012, Biometric enrolled 28/08/2012 & Currently in Tier 1 General (Exp 15th Mar). Its been 7 months today I applied, and almost losing hope as each day passes...! Wrote UKBA a letter, Faxed, MP also involved, however, no update or reply as yet.

Why & What is UKBA doing? Why are they charging such a high fee if they can't meet sensible service standards. 6 months wait is worst than a third world country service standard. Why are some people getting replies in 4/4.5 months? doesn't this so called back log applies to them? what else can i do? immigrants are humans and not all of them are illegal or bogus students!!

Personally always thought UK has mostly chosen wrong people to grant settlement, where as accountants, engineers, analysts, genuine and decent people are often neglected and/or go through agony.

Any thoughts by some helpful human beings here and thanks all.

Regards

[saanju9]

Sorry Sam but none has an answer for that.

Only God knows (if he exists - and thats a different topic)

All I can think of is; "Nobody gets anything before the right time, and more than what is in his/her fate"

Well said Daminisshallo. I would avoid thinking of my right to be treated fairly being fairer than others especially when its not up to them what happens after the application is submitted. We all are equally frustrated but whilst we use these forums to strengthen each other in these trying times it would discourage people to share their honest and useful experiences if we aren't careful of the words we use when its not going so well. I hope your response will come sooner s4sam because I have another five weeks to reach your timeline and with the kind of feeling I have I can't imagine this torment lasting another day longer. Good luck
