Could you please help and advice me,
I (the Main applicant) have been granted ILR on the basis of ten years long residency and my dependent had a Tier 1 (PSW) status up till 31st July, 2014
My questions are,
1- Do I need to show (18,600) income threshold for her FLR (M) visa as she came very first time on student dependent in UK in March 2006?
2- After switching to FLR (M), can she apply for ILR immediately as she already had spent two years as a dependent? And will the years spent on PBS dependent (Student and PSW) granted entry clearance on prior to July 2012 rules count towards the qualifying period?
3- Could you please mention the immigration rules to substantiate your reply?
Thanking you in advance.
(Home office replied)
Dear Mr ---------
Thank you for your email dated 24 June 2013. Your enquiry has been forwarded to Home Office Public Enquiries because it is not a policy enquiry.
Please be advised that if your dependant was granted a Tier 1 (PSW) dependant visa prior to the 9th July 2012, she may apply for a spouse Leave to Remain under the rules in place for Partners who applied on or before 8 July 2012 and would not need to show the £18,600 financial requirement.
If your dependant has also completed two years in the Uk as a Tier 1(PSW) dependant, she can also apply for settlement after she gets her spouse under paragraph 284 (b) of the rules. Please be advised that time spent as student dependant is excluded.
For further information please visit the Home office website at:http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas ... spouse-cp/
Yours sincerely,
Edward Henry
Thats what exactly they told me , she did mention to try ringing us again in couple of week time, i suggest is it ok to write ilr department in liverpool , she said yes u can since u have acknowl. Ref no. U can mention it in ur letter, as she could only check the progress or what ever info shows up on their system, they have no authority to either chase up or could help individuals casesadiq.wmin wrote:Today I called HO on : Phone: 0870 606 7766

I submitted my application in September, completed the biometrics in early October. I called the UKBA today to enquire about the progress of my application and was told that I haven't been allocated a caseworker yet. Is this normal? Should I be concerned?
Also my timeline is as follows:
Application Submitted: 18/09/2013
Acknowledgement: 20/09/2013
Biometric letter sent: 8/10/13
Biometric letter received : 10/10/2013
Biometric completed: 14/10/2013
Approval letter: Pending
BRP: Pending
Please add me to Skydrive. Thanks! And congrats to all those August applicants who have received their approvals before Christmas

I've been a silent reader and this forum has provided great insight, assistance and guidelines. Kudos to the owners and members contributing towards this great forum.
I recently received my ILR.
Please update the Skydrive with my details for the benefit of all.
4 yrs student + 2 yrs PSW + Tier 4 yrs
Application sent: 15 AUG 2013
ACK letter received: 23 AUG 2013 (date on letter is 19 AUG 2013)
Biometric letter received: 30 AUG 2013
Biometric done: 02 SEP 2013
Approval letter and Passport received: 10/12/13 (date on letter is 09/12/13) Collected from RM Depot on 11/12/13
BRP cards : awaiting (quoted 7 workings days in a seperate parcel)
It was via Royal Mail recorded delivery. I think they've started using RM and no longer use DX which I believe were a real pain to deal with. I've had previous visas delivered through them.
I supplied Passports x2, LITUK test, photo and copies of all the passports. Think that's all. Got back the test results.
Now shall have to wait for 12 months to get naturalisation done.
All the best for all those waiting. Hang in there - there's hope.

I have also successfully applied for FLR(M) and then SET(M) in croydon PEO and got myself ILR as well. I came to UK first in Sep-11 as PBS migrant dependant.. So yes, the transitional arrangement works for dependants who came before 9-Jul-12.
Happy to help.
PS - The UKBA staff in croydon were super duper helpful..

It is because of their new system bought in at the end of October. Seems like they have messed up and have a massive backlog of applications that haven't been entered into the system.
Someone posted here how he complained to HO on the phone, and he got someone to ring him back and apologise for the delay. They had entered his application in the system in a day and a biometric letter was sent out.
Its not me i was trying to ask from Mr Ganti [/quote]Hi
