10 years long residence applications

[KashRIz]

If a person has been granted ILR on the basis of 10 years long residence, their spouse can no longer be considered as a PBS dependant, and they must apply for an extension of stay as the partner of a settled person on application form FLR(M). A person here as a PBS dependant would not be able to meet the settlement requirements of the spouse rules if they were to apply directly, without first applying for limited leave to remain on form FLR(M).
2. As long as the spouse was granted leave to enter or remain as the dependant of a PBS migrant prior to 9 July 2012, then the spouse can be considered under the transitional Part 8 rules for further leave to remain as the spouse of a settled person under Paragraph 284. These Part 8 rules do not include the Financial Requirements (including earnings over £18,600) you have mentioned, however they do require an applicant to be adequately maintained and accommodated without recourse to public funds. Further information on this is available on our website at the following address: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... iew=Binary

3. A spouse can combine any leave as a PBS dependant with leave as the partner of a settled person granted under Part 8, to meet the qualifying period under paragraph 287 of the Immigration Rules, which is 2 years. They will need to satisfy all the requirements of these rules, including the English language requirement. Further information on this is available on our website at the following address:

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/polic ... ansitional provisions and http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas ... uage-life/.



4. A spouse meeting the above requirements can consequently apply for settlement at any point after they have competed 2 years in a combination of these 2 categories (PBS dependant and spouse of a settled person).


So basically you are saying that they are abolishing this transitional period structure. May be you are right but we have to wait till 6th April . I m still waiting for my application result so I cant apply before 6th April for my Mrs. I hope and pray that this is not the case and they will keep this transitional period in place.

I believe your partner can apply for FLR(M) now (via post obviously). See When to apply for FLR(M)?

She can apply at anytime. In fact if she needs to travel abroad and during this period you get your ILR, she might be refused to enter since she can no longer considered as a PBS dependent. This is why in the post it is advised that people should apply before they travel outside CTA.

The only thing said on the FLR(M) form and guidance notes and on gov.uk is that you have apply before your visa expires. It is unlike SET(LR) application. I'm not sure if this answer is satisfactory though...

Thank you very much for information.

I have been a silent reader of this forum for so long and thought I should update you guys about my application.
But I am concerned after reading some recent comments about changes to dependent route! So changes mean If I don't receive my application before 6th of April my wife has to wait another 5 years despite she is been in UK for 5 years!

Please, I will be happy if any forum members can clarify the 28 days required to make any postal applications. Is this 28 working days(without weekend) or 28 days including weekend?

28 days including weekends, for example if some one completing 10 years on 31 March 2014, he can apply for ILR on 4 March 2014 before 28 days , I think this helps. Thanks

Hello. Amber , Vinney and other Gurus

its very important question

Can PBS dependants( came before 09 July 2012) apply for FLR(M) while their partners are waiting for decision on SET(LR)?

if yes, then

What will happen if they get FLR(M) alongwith their partners ILR?

Will PBS dependants still be treated through new rules (according to HC 1138)? OR

They will be eligible for ILR, soon they get FLR(M).

I think this post will help those who are waiting for decision on SET(LR). Their partners can still apply through FLR(M) alongwith a cover letter which is available on skydrive.

I think if they treat our partners through old rules then we should apply by post before 06 April 2014. i have also request UKVI for this explanation yesturday and waiting for their reply. I can send you that email copy if you want.

However, I am now eligible to apply for indefinite leave on the basis of 10-year long residence.

PLEASE, CAN I SUMBIT MY APPLICATION FOR INDEFINITE LEAVE TO REMAIN NOW OR WAIT TILL HEARING DAY IN SEPTEMBER?

Remember, I was not the one that applied to the upper tribunal so I cannot withdraw the appeal.
