10 years long residence applications

[Arsal385]

Sorry to ask again but should dt include informing them about the UT decision?

Although they should aware of that but I think its up to you and there is no harm in telling them. You can also state that whilst awaiting for the outcome of your decision (3c leave) you have completed your 10 yrs legally and hence applied for your ILR on xxx date.

If you have gone through all this surely you have Solicitor in place? if so what is their opinion on the matter?

[october2013]

I had a solicitor for my hearings but did not use the solicitor for my ilr application hence ....

I had a solicitor for my hearings but did not use the solicitor for my ilr application hence ....

Then I would have to agree with arsal385's suggesstion seems very reasonable.

Hi
I got my ILR in April,2013 on long residency.
My wife is living with me in the UK since 2009 as a work permit dependent and student dependent recently till 2013. I applied for her extention under FLR M and she got her visa a month ago under two years route to settlement.

My question is can she apply for ILR now? Will her previous time be counted towards qualifying time for settlement?
She was out of the UK from April,2012 to Feb,2013.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone
Can some one tell me what I can do now except waiting for reply from home office. I have applied to ILR on long residency basis on 4 April 2014. I got letter for bio-metric in 3 weeks time. I got letter from Home office after 6 month that I have to wait more for my ILR. It's now more than 8 months and still waiting for my reply. I also send them a letter one month ago. Every day I checked post and everyday I am disappointed. My wife is pregnant and she is also feeling the pressure now. Can any one give my advice please?

Looks like your wife falls under old category as she got her visa on 2 years basis. she can apply for ILR straightaway. However, her stay outside the UK is fairly long, you should therefore ask a qualified lawyer whether she is eligible to apply now or wait till Feb 2015 when she will complete her 2 years period.

You should approach them through your MP and let them know the health issue that your wife is currently facing. For example you could tell them that your pregnant wife is in anxiety state which is impacting negatively on your wife and your potential baby.

I think HO accepted your application based on the fact that your application posted on the same day as HO changed the new version. HO usually check the validity of the application and then charge and issue acknowledgement letter. Since you have already received your letter then it should be fine. You can confirm this to HO on their enquiry number 03001232241.

Beware under new rules, HO is no longer counting student dependent status towards the settlement. Your are still lucky that your wife has got FLR M visa based on 2 years route. You should have changed your wife status last year when you got your ILR. I have a feeling HO may not count your wife student dependant time for ILR. Also because of ambiguity of your spouse case and as I said above you need to consult to a qualified lawyer about this first and do not let you wife fall into 5 years category route.

Thanks for quick reply. Will her qualifying period be counted from the day I got my ILR in April,2013. or the day she got her visa (FLRM) stamped a month ago based on 2 years route to settlement.
She came to UK first time as a work permit dependent in July,2009 and then changed her visa to student dependent in July,2009. She applied for FLRM in April, 2013 and her visa was refused and finally got her visa a month ago.

Technically under new rule your wife qualifying period starts when dependent of a settled person visa granted to her under FLR M application. As is said you should carefully consider this and speak to a solicitor who may have better option for your wife case. Also read carefully the approval letter of her FLR M visa.

Hi,
I am currently being employed by a sponsor for a Tier 2 General visa. Separately to this, I submitted an application for a 10 year ILR 2 months ago and understand that it can take up to 6 months for the application to be processed.

Recently, I have been offered a job at a new employer - if I change employer now and leave my Tier 2 sponsor what is my immigration status while my ILR is under application and do I have a right to work? And what will my status be if my ILR application is rejected in up to 4 months time? Would I have up to 60 days to find a new Tier 2 sponsor?

From the UKBA guidelines it appears that immigration status and right to work is held in a kind of limbo when ILR is under review, but I can't find any specific information that applies to this type of situation.
Thanks very much,
