Thanks for the comfort. It does help. Was hoping I'd hear something this week so I can enjoy my weekend. I guess not, because they don't care a out our sufferings. I know the name of my caseworker now though, at least.Damanisshallo wrote:Don't give up hope, you're almost there.....shiali wrote:I feel so out of place now that everyone is updating their timeline, and everyone seems to have applied way later than me and getting their visas/passports back
Dear Damanisshallo, we had this communication in the past but I saw on the forum that there are some new rules coming on 6 April 2013. Under which a dependent's time which is spent on a non settlement route will not be counted towards her ILR. I am confused can you please advise me as to what you think is right.Damanisshallo wrote:Yes you can. Since she's already completed her residential qualifying period, she can apply for settlement as soon as she's issued with her FLR(M).habsimak wrote:Can you advise me if i can apply flr(m) without the financial requirement and then how soon can i apply for settlement for my wife as she will be more than 2 years already in UK (psw dependent and tier 1 general dependent)
Anyone?Xiaozhu wrote:Hi all
Now that my husband has his visa (for the Skydrive, we received docs and BRP on 7 March), we are wondering about the time he needs to spend continuosly in the UK to eventually qualify for ILR. We are under the new rules so we know it's 5 years, however:
When did this period start?
We have been told that he cannot spend more than 270 days outside the UK in the last 3 years and no more than 90 of those in the last year which is fine. But what about the first 2 years? As we are currently abroad for work until November - will this be a problem?
Apologies if the answers are obvious but he left his letter in the UK so I can't examine it and of course there is no clear answer on the UKBA website.
Thanks

Hi nats, u can also quote from the flr m transitional arrangements document which is available on ukba website. The link is http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... iew=Binarynats wrote:Hi All,
due to the confusion regarding submitting FLR(M) or Set(M)? And whether one comes under old rules or new rules. Sometimes things look clear and all good. but due to UKBA's inconsistent behavior seems like its all upto our luck and the caseworker. How to convince the caseworker that a dependent entered UK b4 9th July 2012 comes under old rules and can apply ILR once completed 2 year probationary period in PBS category or FLR (m) category or combination of both. I have PEO appointment for my wife's FLR(m) as tier 4 dependent for last 3 years. I will try to convince for Set(m) and for that I will take print outs of relevant rules/paragraphs with me to appointment. I searched for relevant posts in past and found following 2 paragraphs. Please help me if there is something else (rules/paragraphs) I should mention to them:

Click here to read the full hearing.UKBA must prove the failure of payment wrote:This is an impressive and extremely welcome development in the law. From now on, it seems, applications cannot simply be rejected as invalid by the UKBA on the basis of the assertion that it was not possible to obtain payment. The UKBA will have to provide proof that the application itself was invalid.
The Tribunal ends its determination by stating that to avoid future disputes of the kind in Mr Basnet’s case the UKBA must implement procedures ensuring that postal applications are processed immediately upon receipt, placing them in an approximation of the more favourable circumstances experienced by "personal” applicants, and, moreover that if something goes wrong the applicant is contacted "to afford an opportunity to check or correct the billing data.”
The likelihood is that this clarification of the law as the unfairness of the existing regime – and the recognition that the UKBA bears the burden of proving that an application is invalid, can benefit large numbers of people who have had their applications rejected for this reason. Anyone who is or who may be affected is strongly advised urgently to seek professional legal advice.

This explains who comes under old rules and if u r under long residency then u can refer to point 3.4

Rather than going to a solicitor to appeal, try to speak to them (Supervisor) not the CSA and explain to them the situation that they've sadly mistaken the dates. I remember lately someone had the similar kind of refusal and they managed to revert back the decision. (Saving you £££'s). Reading the reconsideration process might help you.kaya.b wrote:I received the refusal of my visa application today.
They refused it on the grounds that I had applied after 28 days of my visa expiring.
The confusing bit was that they noted that my current student visa expired on 30 November 2012, and that I had applied for FLR(M) on 01 November 2012. They concluded that I therefore applied after I had no right to be in the UK and so my application was refused.
But anyone looking at that statement would notice that even they had noted that I did indeed apply before my visa expired!
The letter states that I have no right to appeal but clearly I do given that they made a mistake. Anyone has a good idea of the steps I could take from wrongly being deported?
UKBA's Reconsideration policy @ Page 6 wrote:Definition of a reconsideration
A reconsideration is a review by the UK Border Agency of a decision made in the UK on an application for:
further limited or indefinite leave to remain
transfer of conditions (TOC), or
no time limit (NTL).
Such a request will usually be about a refusal decision but may also be about aspects of an approval (for example, the period of leave granted).
When is a reconsideration request acceptable?
The UK Border Agency is not legally obliged to reconsider an immigration decision. When an applicant has a right of appeal, the correct method for them to challenge the decision is to lodge an appeal. Applicants refused without a right of appeal can either:
challenge the decision through the judicial review process
make a fresh application for limited or indefinite leave to remain, if they believe they
can show that they meet the requirements of the route under which they are applying,
or
in the case of refused TOC or NTL applications, submit a fresh application that
addresses the reasons why the original application was refused. The UK Border Agency will however reconsider applications, if:
The application was granted and the applicant believes that the type of leave granted or the expiry date of the leave is incorrect.
The reconsideration is a legacy request submitted before 13 November 2012 and there are still reasons to reconsider the decision.
The reconsideration request is about a case affected by the Alvi judgement and the
applicant is still in-time to bring an appeal or judicial review. For information on how to deal with reconsideration requests based on the Alvi judgment, see related link.
For information on what is not an acceptable reconsideration request, the requirements a request must meet and legacy reconsideration requests, see links on left.
