10 years long residence applications

[maddysheffield]

Hi All.

Do I have to sent FLR(M) application for my dependent same time as i sent my SET(LR) application. or thay can wait untill their visa expire next year.

Thanks
Dec22

@DEC22 ,


https://www.gov.uk/remain-in-uk-family/apply

it all depends on when your present visa expires .... if your visa going to expire in the next 6-8 months I would apply dependents along with main application ( also if your financially capable of sending both fees at same time )

OR

You can always send her application after couple of months along with your acknowledgement letter and £ 18,600 earning .. Life in UK and English ( if only wife) informing them that to put her application on hold till your application is decided


OR

You can apply for her after you receive your approval by post or going to Public enquiry office


I chose to go to public enquiry office once I get my approval so at least on of us is available to go to our country if someone needs us But everyone has their own way of dealing with things



I hope you get it

I agree Maddy! apply in person is the lesson learned if the option is available this waiting game is just too excruciating....

@Apex22 I'm a bit anxious because i'm in firing range can't predict any thing However Loads and loads by decisions by 09th Jan

Because of change in below circumstances :

1. Post delays due to holidays and weather wont be there
2. more staff will be available from monday everyone back from holiday
3. I assume most of the applications have been decided but yet to get final approval from caseworkers or waiting to be printed and Posted

Hi guys,

I applied for ILR via a solicitor (on 8th Oct 2014) and currently waiting for approval.

I received my Tier 2 (general) visa in Dec 2013 whilst I was writing up my PhD and changed address a month later when I started working. The problem is I didn't realise that HO had to be informed about this change of address (until today that is!). I know my bad

However, I did inform my employer immediately about my address change and I used my current address for ILR. Now my question is, given that my ILR application is being processed how should I tell them about my change of address?

Thanks!

Hmm

1. Your communication with HO will be sent by Solicitor ? if so he will get the documents and you need not worry about it
2. redirect all letters to your new address ( if you put your details as communication address )

3. Yes you can always send an email or letter to The HO email address informing change in circumstances
https://www.gov.uk/change-circumstances ... have-a-brp

Couple of things since your application may start being scrutinised soon by end of Jan I would say its upto you if you wanna inform them However its always a good procedure to inform them

Get you solicitor do some work for the amount you paid mate unless he robs your money just to send this letter

[maddysheffield]

I would say 10-15 or more decisions between 02nd Jan 2015 till 10th January 2015 ie Saturday ...

Thanks for your quick reply.

Yes all correspondence is through the solicitor and I've used my current address everywhere. I'll inform the solicitor about it. BTW it seems that the only way to change address is to post MCC form on that website?

Salam guys,
First of all I want to congratulate people who got LR approval. I am going to apply LR (10 year) application after Xmas and want to ask should we send application form on weekend or in week days (does it make differnence or not) . I need sample of covering letter any possibility some one can send covering letter on my email address (habib_aziz@hotmail.com).
It would be highly appreciate and I look forward to hear from you guys soon.


Kind Regards,


Saleem

Saleem, I have sent u cover letter, Just amend it accordingly.

Is it good to send a covering letter with SET(LR) form? If yes then could you please send that same sample covering letter to me on the following email address which you sent to Saleem. Thanks

zee_me@hotmail.co.uk

Also, when filling up SET(LR) form, in the section where they ask social, cultural and family ties with country of nationality candidate holds. What kind of answer is best to write there?

Suggestions will be highly appreciated

@ilruk84 congrats .....1st approval for 2015 lovely ..It seems you will get hajmola ki kandy from @ shafurqan

[saeedafridi123]

Hi guys, i called homeoffice yesterday and they said that my application is under consideration. Any idea how long they take on the case once opened. One thing that i noticed was during my conversation with the officer. He asked me when was my biometric done.
Which means they may be considering applications based on time set by them after biometrics.

Looking at the questions Ho is asking it seems they are asking..1.when doesyour present visa expire 2. When did u give biometric ...just to confirm that you are the main applicant just some checks that's all please don't assume things.

I did the mistake the other day when they asked me when does my present visa expire....thinking Ho is looking at visa expiry date but it's just false assumption ,....

Chill Ho is just dealing with applications normally

@saeed,mate these are all set questions and answers they give and take,average time after biometrics is in my view is 14,or 15 weeks

Hello guys.

I don't know who started the tracker but it's a beautiful idea. I have just inputted my details in there and wish the best of luck to all of those still awaiting a decision.

Quick question out of curiosity... what do you think the question in the SET (LR) form, about "ties to your native country" and ties to any other country is about. Can that section determine the outcome of your application?

No this section does not determine the outcome of application as is just for the sake of human rights,there is no harm if u mention family ties with your native country if you still have
