Hi
If any one can help me in this regard would be really thank full, I have legally married my wife in august 2013 and my solicitor made me to applied for FLR(0) saying that it a 10 year indefinite rule and the only thing that i have to do is i can keep on applying for the visa again and again.
I want to know is this all correct will i get a visa? i think by far what i read over here its called DLR or discretionary leave to remain.
i applied for the FLR (O) while my previous visa status was valid
Although what i recently learned i came to find out that i cannot apply for DLR on Article 8 or right of family life after 9th july 2012.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

DLR does not apply for new applicants since July 2012 under family life. It is now family life leave which is a 10 year route to settlement, extending the visa every 2.5 years.
However, how long have you been in the UK and what was your previous immigration status? Was any of this time as an overstayer and why did you not meet the requirements for flr(m)?

Thanks for the reply
i have been in uk for the last 5 years but on a student visa
i married legally on 22 nd of june 2013
as you said it is now family life leave which is 10 years i just read you cannot apply for DLR on article 8 and on the Private life unless one can show
if they can establish an
Article 8 claim under the rules e.g. on the basis of a child’s best interests.
so it means i need to make a claim under article 8
successfully to get this

Yes you may make a claim for article 8, but it is a 10 year route to settlement with no public funds, the old DLR was a 6 year route with public funds. You may be able to apply for settlement after 10 years legal stay in the UK also under set(lr).
When did you apply for flr(o)?
Does your partner have any disabled relatives i.e. grandparents etc? What Country are you from?

I have made an application for FLR O on 20th of June 2013 so its like 2 months by now i have received the HO reference no and the application submitted document.
more over i knew about the surinder singh case but cant follow that route because of a family situation and that is:
my wife's father died in last Nov 2012 after that her mother is doing well but not enough she have a heart problem doctor says it works only 60% or 30% and she i mean my wife's mum does n't want her to go far away so that's the main issue: although she have 3 sons and two other daughters as well living close by but she doesn't want any one of the children to move that's a pain for me.
Its like my wife's mum would suffer more if i will make my wife leave UK, I don't know if i can Use this on article 8 or the basis of my application.
by the way i am from Pakistan and my wife's been here for the last 14 years or 15 with her family.
really appreciate your help

I gather she's British. If your wife was caring for her ill mother and could claim carer's allowance you would be exempt from the financial requirement for the purpose of flr(m).

Unfortunately, as your are from Pakistan and subject to immigration control you cannot claim carer's allowance. If your spouse was awarded CA at the time of your application, you would not be subject to the new financial requirement, she could stop the carer's allowance after you were awarded flr(m), though, would either need to claim again after 2.5 yrs when you reapply for flr(m) or meet the new financial requirement at that time. How long have you been here legally?

It's an option for flr(m) [as to avoid the financial requirement] if she is claiming CA she can also work and earn £100 Net per week.

FLR(O) is not spouse leave.
If you made an in-time application then your permissions of leave will continue until a decision is made.

Thanks for your time and for reply I really appreciate that.
Do you really think judge will consider that I am completing my ten years and on that basis he will grant me discretionary leave, do you have anykind of example where judge considered it ?
Further in worse scenario if judge don't consider it and I goes to upper tribunal and conplete my ten years then can I make my application on long residency.

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.

I know that
I have submitted
FLR(O) on article 8
my solicitor says you can get the limited leave with work allowed for 6 months they have stopped the DLR cuz benefits were allowed on that, thats why they changed it to limited leave to remain.
is their any truth in this?
thanks

Well, the entire system has changed including a 10 year route to settlement instead of 6, no recourse to public funds (but there are exceptions) you can work on family life leave just as you could on DLR, so I don't know what your solicitor is on about?
