10 years long residence applications

[Spatacus]

Hello

Wonder if anyone has any recent success in applying set(m) directly at PEO rather than flr(m) and then set(m) for their spouse who has been here for at least 5 or more years (however has been on student dependant + psw dependant plus pbs dependant). I'm aware that our friend sswz is going to try PEO on 3 feb but if anyone else has succeeded recently or in past.... Please shed some light. As I have posted earlier I'm thinking of applying set(m) directly for my wife who has been here since 2005 in various dependant visa categories as stated above.

Your insight would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Hello vm81,
some people have tried that on this forum and they have succeeded, you might want to give it a try there is no harm in trying, i can only advise you to fill both FLR(M) and SET(M) forms and go along to the PEO with them, just incase they insist that your dependant must first change to FLR(M) before SET(M).
Hope this helps

Hi Spatacus,

Could you add the link that I gave in the previous post (which directs user to my post) to your set of links with similar situation that you provided to my query on same subject three months back or at least let moderator know about it so it can be useful to as many people out there in future in similar situation.

Congratulations to all guys who have got ilr recently and good luck to all who are on their way.

Thanks.

Thank you ashblackhawk, i will update all appropriate forum members with the link you provided. Much appreciated.

Hi Every one,

I have been on here for few day and I have already applied for ILR (LR). My question is my Mrs and I got married here in UK back in 2009 at that time we both were at PSW. Then in 2011 I got my TIer1 General and I got her as my dependent ( I have to go through the court as they refused her dependent visa saying she has to apply from home country but court allowed the appeal). Now since I m waiting for my ILR(LR) result and I hope I will get it Inshallah and once I get my ILR what will be my wife's status as she is in this country as my dependent for last 3 years alomst. Do I have to apply for the VIsa for her as dependent of a settled person. I hope I manage to convey my question hoping for some very helpful answers.

cheers

Hi Gurus, Moderators and well wishers..

Its been best door for Immigration advices and very soon will be applying for LR.

My entry clearance was on Oct 2003 & Im eligible to apply since Oct 2013, But had to apply now. Can you please advice on below.

SAR report :My SEGS visa expiry was 19/12/2007 and I applied for Tier 2 on 19/12/2007 and refused with stamp dated 14/02/2008 on passport(I remember reading Removal note, not sure),But applied student visa before refusal 23/01/2008 without passport by referring Tier2 application and approved.

One solicitor was saying: Due to the fact Tier 2 refused and though passport returned dated 14/02/2008, my GAP starts from 19/12/2007 and as student visa applied on 23/01/2008 (before refusal) ,its slightly more than 28 days. Which isn't convincing

3)Is this considered as illegal GAP, though my passport is in HO and lodged new application before refusal?
4)Does it effect LR application?

Apologies for long story. Its my Life guys.. Please advice which will boost and can apply more confidently.

Many thanks,
Irfan

Hello irfan,
To answer your questions, the refusal on your Tier 2 dated 14/02/2008 on your passport and for the fact that you sent your application on the same day it was expiring which is on 19/12/2007 might be considered to be illegal by HO.
According to HO policy you are meant to have submitted your renewal before 19/12/2007, logically if you sent out your renewal Tier 2 application on 19/12/2007, there is no way HO would have received it on the same day, so basically they must have received it say may be on the 20/12/2007 which is late application.
Your solicitor was right about your illegal days in the UK, however it is obvious from your statement that your Student Visa application was made on 23/01/2008 after your refusal letter and hopefully the removal notice.
Am just wondering why you have not applied for your 10 years ILR since you qualified on Oct 2013, CAN U EXPLAIN WHY??, however there is no harm in applying now for your 10 year ILR as you might just be lucky your application would be processed by a caseworker with a good heart who might just overlook your illegal days (GAP) in your immigration history.
Hope this Helps

Hi Spatacus,

Much appreciate your time. I did applied few days ago, but on my SAR file they received on same (Expiry) day ,Which sounds like its safe inshallah.

I was an false allegation during Aug - DEC 2013 and waited for case withdrawl, don't wanna select conviction bits. Thats the reason had to wait till today.

Can you PM,if you got any sample covering letter please? would be greatfull..

Cheers,
Irfan.

Congratulations matey! Your wait is finally over

If I am not mistaken, you were the last August applicant outstanding that means we have a 100% approval record for August 2013 applications on our skydrive, the first time since we began taking records!

Enjoy your freedom buddy

Nik

Edit - Apologies, I just checked skydrive and noticed there was a 100% approval for Feb 2012 applications too.

[meb4ne1]

Congrats, Old BRP would have been cancelled by the HO. It must be the new one.

Hello Gurus,

Can anyone of you please help me with a query . I have applied for long residence(10 years long stay ILR ) visa about 5 months ago, after eagerly awaiting for this long I managed to missed a courier from DX and I rang and found out that it was from home office. Now I do know for sure that the courier contain a BRP CARD but I am utterly confused whether this BRP is old one which still has leave remaining untill jan 2015 or its gonna be the new one for the ILR application I made . Btw I have not received my visa paper work yet,that's the reason of this big confusion.

Please do reply

Many Thanks

Hello guys,


I think i am in big trouble. Yesterday morning i received a letter stating that I have to pay fine of 550 pounds for not buying the ticket in tram and the decision have been made by the court. I called the baileef people and they mentioned this offence took place about 4 years ago and they contacted me at my previous address , where as the address they mention, as my previous address, actually it was the first address when I came in the UK. any way now I am very scared. Will it effect on my application?[/b]( I applied on 24th nov and I did my biometric on 12th january).....

Guys Kindly guide me will it be considered as civil judgement and if it is a civil judgement against my name , will it effect my 10 year residency application.
Thanks

hi..
i was on student up to 5th august 2013. And just before expiry my solicitor advise to apply for flro . i still had 2 acca exam to resit but he advised to file flro instead of student visa.
Visa was refused in beginning of October 2013. November 12 filed for appeal. on the 24th november 2013 i completed 10 years in uk. i have received hearing date for June 2014 based on fLRO app for private life. However i want to file for the 10 year ilr now.

is that possible as Im getting different views. many thanks

I got some response but i still bit confuse.

Does the appeal on FLRO application counts towards my 10 years legal stay?
Can I withdraw the appeal and submit 10 years application.

Please advise!

thanks.

Hi guys,

I have been a silent reader on this very useful forum for a very long time now. I applied for the ILR on the 10 year long residence route on the 16th of Sept 2013.

5 Years Student Visa + 2 Years Work Permit + 1 Year Student Visa + 2 Years PSW. I have no gaps and have not been out of the country for more than 150 days in the last 10 years.

My timeline:
Applied: 16 Sept 2013 [Payment Method: Postal Order]
Acknowledgement Letter: 19 Sept 2013
Biometrics Letter Received: 10 Oct 2013
Biometrics Enrolled: 10 Oct 2013 (Same Day)
Approval: Waiting
Biometric Card: Waiting

Documents Submitted: Passports + Biometric Card + Original degrees + Employer Letters + Life in the UK Test Certificate + Utility Bills + Letting Agreements etc

Please update the skydrive with my details. I am hoping to receive my approval letter soon as some of the September applicants have started to receive their documents back. I did call the Home Office this week to enquire about my application, they have confirmed that it has NOT yet been assigned to a case worker yet .

If any Gurus can answer, how many days does it roughly take once its assigned to a case worker? Thanks and Good Luck to All.

HELLO IRFAN,
I HAD PROVIDED NO DOCUMENTS AT ALL NOT EVEN COVERING LETTER.
I HAD SUBMITTED ONLY APPLICATION FORM, MY PASSPORTS (2 OF THEM),LIFE IN THE UK PASS CERTIFICATE AND THAT IS ALL.
I BELIEVE AS LONG AS ONE CAN SHOW THEM THAT HE/SHE HAS LIVED IN THE UK FOR 10 YEARS LAWFULLY ,THEN THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM IN GIVING THE ILR.

LET ME HOW IT GOES

GOOD LUCK
