Premium Service (PEO) or through post??

[ridewithme]

Hi Guys,
Just needed advise on if we could apply for my husbands ILR through the premium services i.e. PEO or is it better to apply through post.
As i have mentioned in other posts that my Husband did overstay his spouse visa after which he voluntarily left UK and then got issued with spouse visa. Please advise.

Better off applying by post as CW wont be able to make a decision on the same day due to 'previous immigration history'

[ridewithme]

Thank you for the reply. Would his previous overstay affect the ILR application?? Cause they did issue him with spouse visa already. Would they reject our application and not grant ILR cause of the previous overstay??

[Casa]

No. He was successful with the spouse visa application, which means his overstay won't have any relevance to his ILR application. If you feel all his paperwork is in order, apply through a PEO if you want to avoid waiting several months for a postal application to be processed.

Hey Casa....thank you so much for your reply......we wer plannin on goin the PEO route and your advise just confirmed it for us.......also is it just the SET(M) form that we need to fill in??

[Casa]

Yes, just the one form. Are you clear on the date you can apply? You may need to be flexible on the choice of PEO. Croydon in particular gets booked very quickly.

Hi Guys,

My huband was issued with student visa, which he oversatyed and he then left voluntarily. We got married in his country, and after which he applied for spouse visa which was granted and, we have been living together since in the UK.

Just needed advise regarding if we could apply for an ILR for my usband i.e premium service at PEO or do we have to apply through post (which we are not very keen on due to the long waiting times for the outcome).

Please advise.

Thank You....!!!

OOps....sorry dint mean to start one more similar topic.....thank u for reverting me back to this thread.....
28 days before the 2 year qualifying period should be fine to apply??......please advise

Thanks....!!!

[ridewithme]

Anyone please advice.....!!!

[butterfly33]

I think it is 28 days before the end of the two year qualifying period not any date after the 2 years.

[ridewithme]

Hey Butterfly 33, thank you so much for the reply.

[vinny]

I think it is 28 days before the end of the two year qualifying period not any date after the 2 years.

Any date after completing the qualifying period is fine (better if at PEO?) too, if your husband has unexpired leave on the date of the application.

[ridewithme]

Thank you for the reply Vinny. We planning on applying through PEO, about 26 days before the 2 years my husband has been here on the spouse visa.
I hope that should be fine.

- all past and current visas ontime.
- Current at T1 visa.

Thanks
