Hello Experts and Gurus

[quote="SSWSZ"]If you are student then u don't have to show earnings .because students are not allowed to work so don't worry



[quote="afridi786"][quote="SSWSZ"]yes I paid for flr(M) today at the desk its price is 950 or 940 something+1420 for set(M) which is paid online when I book the appointment




[quote="vm81"]Dear SSWSZ

Thank you very much for sharing your experience... I am really sorry that you have to go through such a stressful time nearly all day... At least the ilr has been granted.

One question - did you paid fees for both sets of aid action then?

As usual your response is highly appreciated...

Thanks

Congrats mate I am happy for you. At least you are you got an ILR Now. I wanted to ask you:
I have applied for ILR on the basis of 10 years students visa I am expecting this week, My wife has been here for 8 months under Tier 4 dependent, I know I need to apply for her FLR (M), I am not sure if I need to be earning at least £18,600 or I dont need to be earning that?[/quote][/quote]






Sorry to bother but, I was student for 10 years, but after SET (LR) when I receive my ILR, I will be classified as settled person, so are you sure that when my wife applied her visa through FLR (M) she does not need to fill in the minimum income threshold|? so i do not have to be earning £18,600? thanks for your replied

[SSWSZ]

for all your question
1..read my story on this form.u can try for set (M) like i did ,but on the day of peo appointment i have to first pay for flr and then got set(M) approval same day
2.we never apply for our kids(born in uk) they are on tier 1 dependent visa we apply for their citizenship straight away so your friend is wrong if yours kids are uk born.

hI,

I wish to ask from seniors on this forum some questions.

- I have applied ILR on ten yrs basis and expecting to get within this month (Applied 29th Sep,2013)

- Can I apply SET(M) for my spouse who is here since 2005 and currently holds enterprenuer visa?
- Can I apply British PP's for my three kids who are born here and currently on PBS dependant visa ? One of my friend is of the view, If kids hold dependent visa, they have to go through ILR route.. .not sure

Please advise in light of your experience.

Hi everyone,
I received my ILR on Saturday 1st feb but still haven't received my BRP - I'm quite worried. I know it states in the approval letter to wait for 10 days but most people receive same day or next day max. What's the longest duration someone has encountered from ILR delivery to BRP delivery? Thanks!

BRP always comes 5-7 days after ILR. For a few who got it one or two days later are ones where their ILR got delayed thanks to Royal Mail.

HO says 10 days for BRP after ILR for a reason. They just don't pull that number out of thin air. BRP also gets delivered by special delivery DX so it has really less chances of getting lost.

But if the worse does happen and it does not arrive in 10 days, just ring them and ask for another one. Don't see what is to worry here. I didn't get my Biometric letter for 6 weeks. I rang them up and two days letter got another one. Worrying doesn't really get anyone anywhere. Stay calm and enjoy the freedom

Good advise, people worry too much, even after approval you are still worried...if i were you, i will ring HO after 10days but not to start worrying before 10days.

[Spatacus]

Hi everyone

I have applied in may and still havent heard anything from HO.

Fingers crossed, you should have received your ILR by now? Any update?

Hi spatacus

Still havent heard anyyhing

Keep positive mustakim you will eventually get it. remain calm and just go about your business i know it is easier said than done but i guarantee you that it must surely come.

Dear SSWSZ, thank you for your reply, I searched your previous posts and still not get whole story. I give you some more info, actually my wife is currently on Tier 1 General extension main visa holder , from march 2008 (her first entry to UK) to november 2010 I was the main applicant and she was my dependent and then from November 2010 to up till now she is main applicant and I was her dependent.
I am trying to establish if she now switched to FLR(M) , does she comes under old rules (2 years) for settlement or new rules (5 Years)?

Dear Faisal270, does your wife hold main applicant entrepreneur visa?
if this is true then we have the same situation, please keep in touch so we can sort out this together.
For your kids , I am 100% sure as they are british born , you can apply direct to nationality using MN1 form after you get ILR.
thanks[/

[SSWSZ]

aww that's confusing /wait for senior members reply.i was dependent through out so don't know .but I guess she came under new rule .the reason is she is changing visa category to dependent post july 2012 so she might come under new rules.

my story little bit history husband got indefinite on LR .I myself dependent from 2006 till 3 feb.2014... 2006- 2012 student dependent .feb 2012 to feb 2014 psw dependent but to our surprise our case worker (peo APP on 3 feb 2014)told us that I am now becoming settled person dependent so new rules apply on me but thanks to allah I have ho mail which clearly says that I fall under old rules and I can apply for indefinite so then they gave me indefinite .

Hi,

My apology for mentioning section 7B as it refers to FLR(M) form. You requires to fill in section 8 in SET(M) form. Old rule applies to your wife as she came to UK before 2012, meaning that only "adequate maintenance" is required.

The link below explains what it means by "adequate maintenance":

Hope this helps.


[quote="suryavaddi"]Hi tnt,

Thank you very much for given details and sorry for late reply.
Just I got two more doubts on SET(M) application that you said, only filled in maintenance for section 7B but I can't find section 7B when I open SET(M) application.
And my wife had came to UK in Nov,2011. Does she come under the old rules applied?
Much appreciate if you reply to this.

Thanks...

Well guys I got a pleasant surprise yesterday when I got home! My Approval letter has arrived! I had a mini-heart attack looking for a visa on my passport and thinking HO forgot to put it in. After a bit of panicking I realised that I'm used to old visas but now a days, its the BRP

It was fun waiting with you guys and I hope your wait ends soon!
