I have also enrolled my bio metrics in the Post office for ILR application on 4th April 2013.
On 22nd April 2013 my Tier 4 (General) application was refused by the UKBA though I had already completed 10 years and varied this application with SET O. I was advised by two solicitors to appeal against this decision to be on the safe side so I did and appeal is pending in the court.
Now, I seek your advise that this decision on Tier 4 application will affect my ILR? as I applied for ILR 5 weeks before this decision was made.

Did you pay full money for SET O or just difference between Tier 4 and SET O application fee?

In order to vary previous application only difference of previous and new application fees is required so in my understanding they treated your SETO application as a fresh application and your variation has not been accepted but I'm not sure if this refusal decision will affect over your SETO or not.
Dear R556 how should one pay the difference is it not for UKBA to charge the fees accordingly when the cover letter is attached with the application explaining that I am now varying the application . My solicitor helped me fill the application and I have ticked the full amount of 1050 , there is no option on the form to write lower amount . I don't know if he posted this application today for me .cheeta wrote:Dear R556, thanks for your valued advice, I hope some other member will help me in my qurery.R556 wrote:cheeta wrote:Dear R556, I paid full fee for SET OR556 wrote:

I am not a professional and in similar situation but you had tier 4 application in consideration and you used SET(O) form to vary the grounds of application rather SET(LR) might be the reason they refused your application .cheeta wrote:Dear R556, thanks for your valued advice, I hope some other member will help me in my qurery.R556 wrote:cheeta wrote:Dear R556, I paid full fee for SET OR556 wrote:

A friend of mine applied for Tier 4 visa and got refused yesterday with right to appeal. He sent his appeal yesterday by fax and ask for a paper based appeal; in other words, he did not chose oral hearing.
He is going to finish his 10 year on 6 October 2013. So he does not have too long for that 10 year to finish. I know he cannot apply for ILR when he has an appeal pending, but if he withdraws appeal when he hit 10 years, he will have no right to stay as soon as the appeal is withdrawn.Guidance – Long residence and private life @ Page 25 wrote:The applicant completes 10 years continuous lawful residence while awaiting a decision of an appeal
A person may complete 10 years continuous lawful residence whilst they are awaiting the outcome of an appeal and submit an application on this basis. Under sections 3C and 3D, it is not possible to submit a new application while an appeal is outstanding. However, the applicant can submit further grounds to be considered at appeal.
If the applicant has an outstanding appeal against a decision to refuse leave to remain or indefinite leave to remain, and submits an application for long residence, you must void the case and refund the fee. You must create a file or sub-file and mark it ‘PRIORITY’. You must send the file or sub-file to the presenting officers unit (POU) dealing with the appeal. You
must send a letter to the applicant or their representative informing them their application has been linked with their outstanding appeal. You must use Doc Gen letter ICD.3207 for this purpose.
If the appeal is against a decision to curtail or revoke, and the immigration decision was made on or after 31 August 2006, you must follow the same process but you must use Doc Gen letter ICD.3258.
on thing i do not understand if your visa was expiringnhbloke wrote:Hi There
I am currently on Tier 2 visa which is expiring on 31 August 2013.
I will be eligible to apply for ILR (10 Yr long residence) on 24 August 2013.
I have received my SAR and everything is OK. No refusals in the last 10 Yrs.
I have made an application for Tier 4 on 19 July 2013 as I wish to study from the end of September 2013. Biometrics were given on 26 July 2013 and STILL WAITING. I was hoping that I would get a decision from UKBA before 24 Aug 13; so that I could immediately apply for ILR.
I am thinking to send my ILR application on 31 Aug 13 and vary my Tier 4 application to ILR if I don't get a decision on my Tier 4 application from UKBA before 31 Aug 13. But according to this document below (page 32)
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... iew=Binary
The application date remains the date of the original application and not the date of the variation. My fear is, will UKBA treat 19 July 13 (date of my Tier 4 application) as the application date for my ILR application even if I send my ILR application on or after 24 Aug 13 (the date I become eligible to apply for ILR) and REFUSE my ILR application on the ground that I applied too EARLY?
Can you please advice? Has anyone got any experience of this kind of situation and varying a pending application to ILR application?
Many thanks

on 31/08/2013 and you were becoming eligible for ILR on 24/08/2013 why you made tier 4 application and stuck your self in awkward situation.
as for i understand make ILR application asap before your leave expire and instead varying tier 4 application withdraw it as soon HO takes money form your account.
As for i know one person(METRO3) on forum successfully varied his application i varied my tier 1 application on 19/04/13 first application was made Nov 12 HO send me letter on 06/13 asking me which application
i want to take further i replied them my LR application should be considered which i varied from tier 1 application to preserve my right of LR ILR
If you are using solicitor, your all correspondence will be through solicitor but if not my advice will be to stick with one address, whatever address you can access and receive your posts and it will be good if this is the same address as written on your current statement. No need to change or show different addresses (I think)zabizabi wrote:Hi,
