Firstly happy new year to you all.
I need some help in filling my SET (LR) i have been here since Jan'2004 on various visas from Student to Student Dependant and lastly on Tier 1 General, however my last Tier 1 General (Extension) was refused and an appeal is set to be heard in Aug'2014. please note all my original documents including the passport are with HO.
Now I qualify for the ILR on 10 years basis, while taking Section 3(c) or 3(d) in consideration, my solicitor and some fellow member have suggested me to apply for ILR via SET(LR) and withdraw appeal once they receive my fresh applicaiton.
while filling up the SET (LR) i have few questions where i am not sure what to fill hence need help here
C4. Is your current passport/travel document enclosed? Y/N - should I answer YES and explain on covering letter to refer to my previous applicaion
C5. if not enclosed then location of passport/travel document lost/stolen/expired-returned, if I select NO on C4 then none of these option best describe my situation
D1. what is our current immigration status in the UK? Should i put Tier 1 (General) even though it expired in July 2013 and further grant refused,considering the in time appeal in under process.
D4 when does your current leave expire ? should i put the correct date of July 2013 if so what on D5 below? or should i put the hearing date of appeal Aug'14
D5 If your leave to enter/remain has expired, did this leave expire more then 28 days before this applicaiton was made Yes/No? if YES go to D6, or proceed.
D6. Tick to confirm you are submitting evidence of exceptional circumstances which prevented you from submitted your application within 28 days of overstaying.
Section 4 of the application form is for documents it reads as
Should I tick for Current passport & Biometrics Residence Permit? even though its already with HO on previous application.you must provide the documents specified below which are relevant to your application, if you do no, we reserve the right to decide your application on the basis of the information and documents provided, tick the relevant boxes to show the documents you are providing. They must be originals.
Also my wife and Daughters passport is still with HO pending the hearing, obviously none of them have finished 10 years and I will be submitting FLR(M) for them depending on the answers from you above, many of my queries will be solved on that form too.
Many thanks in advance for reading and answering on this query. i am sure this will be useful to me and to others.
