Hi Guys,

If I have submitted biometrics for my previous visa (Tier 1 General), would I still need to submit another biometrics for ILR application?

Thanks

Hi Guys,

If I have submitted biometrics for my previous visa (Tier 1 General), would I still need to submit another biometrics for ILR application?

Thanks

Yes, I submitted my biometrics for Tier 1 in Jan 2013 and still had to submit for my ILR in April 2013:(

[Soban]

Did you apply on FLR (O) version April 2013? If so then yours CW must be retarded or UKBA pulling your legs to restrict you obtaining ILR

In my understanding since they have refunded your FLR (O) fee your ILR application will be consider as new out of time application which unfortunately out of time more than 28 days. I think on the time of ILR application you should have paid only the varied fees for your SET (LR) application rather than full fees so that it would have considered as varied application not a new one.

FLR (O) 21st June 2013
Visa expired 23rd June 2013

31st July you got your FLR (O) return
On 8th August 2013 you applied ILR

You need to ask your solicitor or either clarify through this forum; between 21st June 2013 – 8th August 2013 were you under the protection of 3C leave or not? If you were then you have nothing to worry about.

Plus this doesn’t not sound right that your solicitor informed you on 16th September although the posting date was 31st July. I think rather than solicitor you should have applied on your own, cos something seems not right here.

However keep your moral high as hopefully at the end you will get ILR, though its might gona be lengthy process but ultimately UKBA don’t drag these types of cases long as the passage of time you will have lots of basis to fight on.

Thanks for your reply and your advice. My solicitor had informed me that as I made an in time application on the 21st of June, my period of overstaying starts from the date on the letter of invalidity which is the 31st of July. He has also written to the HO to ask clarification on the reasons for classifying my application as invalid. Furthermore, he also
queried the delay in him receiving my docs back. Hopefully, the HO will rectify this error.

I'll keep you guys posted

Hi everyone,

I'm going to apply for ILR in Dec this year, there are couple of gaps in the visa stamp, a year and a year and half, both times I applied in time but home-office took much time to approve my application, never been refused though.

Is it necessary, under the circumstances, that I get SAR file from home-office and then apply for ILR or is it alright if I do so without SAR? I have got all the home office letters except for the first gap, I couldn't find that letter.

On the SAR under section 6 would you know which is the right option for me to select:
------------------>
Section 6 – Details of the data required
Please tick the box next to the data type that you require. You may tick more than one box.
Specific data/records only. Please explain in the Further Details box
Specific dates only. Please state
Types of records required (you may tick more than one box):
 Electronic records (computer database).  Visa application records……………………
 Home Office case files…………………..  Detention records held by UKBA …..……..
 Port files…………………………………..  Detention records held by contractor……..
 Landing cards……………………………  Removal escort records held by UKBA
 Work Permits UK records………………  Removal escort records held by contractor
<-------------------------

And finally, if its good idea to use a solicitor or should I send the application myself, since my case is pretty straight forward.

Any suggestions please?

much obliged!
cheers

Recently I recived my SAR file and selected  Visa application records……and  Landing cards…… Which was really helpfull to look at the 10 years record
I found SAR is quite helpfull and since you have time and its worth. I would say peace of mind for just £10 and you will be confident for next 6 months.

[Tier 4]

Dear Tier 4,

His time from 21st of June till 31st of July is legal. From 1st August to 28 August if he made an application then it will be a valid application. On August 8 he requested to vary his previous application to ILR and luckily he paid full money which is more likely to be treated as a fresh application. So, I'm quite sure he is in secure zone. Please see the notes below taken from 10 years lawful residence guidance notes.

Out of time applications made on or after 9 July 2012
Applicants for an extension of stay or ILR must not have overstayed by more than 28 days on the date of application. The 28 day period of overstaying is calculated from the latest of the:
• end of the last period of leave to enter or remain granted
• end of any extension of leave under sections 3C or 3D of the Immigration Act 1971, or
• the point that a migrant is deemed to have received a written notice of invalidity, in line with paragraph 34C or 34CA of the Immigration Rules, in relation to an in-time application for further leave to remain

Spot on mate , hope CW read these as well before making sensible decisions on applications about their validity, as most of the CW are clue less which cause unnecessary delays, rejections and court hearings.

Hi Guys,

Thanks

Yes for every new application you need to submit biometric. You will receive a biometric invitation letter every time after submitting a new application

[quote="sumbal"]hi every one , i came in last week of September 2003. .Currently my appeal is in the court so if you can guide me what i have to do first:-
My Solicitor is saying to withdraw the appeal and apply for ILR. but ...the questions are;-
1:- To withdraw appeal and then send a fresh application
or
2:- First to send a new application FOR ILR and then, when i receive acknowledgement letter then i have to withdraw THE APPEAL appeal.
3:-Whats the procedure to withdraw the appeal and how long it takes.
4:- Do i need any letter OF confirmation FOR withdrawal of appeal to send to home office with my application.(or after the acknowledgement letter if i withdraw after submitting ILR. thanks

MANY THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR TIME IN THIS REGARDS.[/qu fote]

Hi Sumbal,

please see below a paragraph from page 25 of the guidance for long residency and private life.

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.

for further details check page 25

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... iew=Binary

In my opinion you must not withdraw appeal, some other senior member can put more light into it.

Dear SUmbal ,

I Think you should with draw your appeal and can apply for ILR application ...as far as i know few cases , their 10 years completed in the last week of sep 2013 , their two appeals rejected ( on the 5 years student cap base ) , even after the final decision of any appeal you may have 30 or 90 days to apply for fresh application or leave the country ! so those guys are applying last week of Sep 2013 ....

Here in your case check again with the lawyer or other experties that if you will withdraw your appeal , will it effect your ILR ? My guess is NO , YOU are in safe zone to apply for ILR , However there may be some thing called variation form or change of cirumstances ? will apply on you or not i am not sure !!

Keep updated this forum with the process and out come of your case so others can also be benifited from it ....

Best of Luck !

May God give you success in every steps of your life !

Hello there rmkirfan,

How long did you have to wait before receiving your SAR file as I'm waiting more than 3 months now?
Contacted them by email soon after completing 40 days processing time but they replied me saying its a big queue unfortunately and trying their best to process ASAP, no time period is given to me.
Any of your experience may help me and others on the same boat.

Also I'm waiting for my ILR result posted application on 21/08/13, biometric enrolled on 9/09/13.
I don't know which one of them on it's way first( SAR or ILR)

Best Wishes

I applied my wife's ILR (SET LR) today. We submitted all the required documents, ie. life in UK certificate, biomatric card, all passports, photo copies of all.

Just noticed that we missed to include photocopies of each visa stamps pages of passport.

Do you think it will be problem for her application? Anybody have any info. would be great.

Thank you all

I think it's not a problem at all. I know many people who didn’t send any and got ILR.
I updated your wife’s info as - ZEBRA’s Wife (id). Hope it's ok with you.

[ZEBRA]

Thanks Lucky13.

Yes, I also think it's not a big problem as original passport is with them so they can make a copy as they want.

Sure the ID is fine, will update the fourm as soon as we get any reply from HO.

Irfan Hello,
Good luck with your SET(LR), my cheque was cleared within days of posting, it seems to me SAR application posted during the month of May has been delayed for some reason I suspect because they mentioned it to me in the email Reply I received on 23/07/13 they are working on applications received in March and trying to complete all March applications by end of July and will be starting to process April applications.
However guys like you sent applications June/July got them within 40 days and May applications gone missing??
I don't worry about it much, it's HO again.
Sent an email yesterday and waiting for a reply.

Best Wishes
Ibthisam.

Past two weeks have been really slow in terms of Visa approvals. UBKA has fallen asleep again! I only applied in July but the pressure seems looming over my head! more than two months. There are people waiting for over a year here! Good Grief!

[R556]

By the bless of Almighty Allah (SWT) I received approval letter and documents today
