Long residence - short of a couple of months

[cadnica]

As I applied for my self on the 7th day of letter but my solicitor was saying that for my wife and two children he will apply within 28 days. As I was short of finances that's why solicitor was saying that he will apply ex 160 in flr fp application which means that applicant 8s unable to pay home office fee it's not necessarily that my wife and two kids will get fee examption but the only idea is to put in time application within 28 days so that my wife won't class as an overstayer I will further update u in this regard
Regards
Thanks

well you dont need any application for the children born in uk . once you get your Ilr , they will get british citizenship.
no worries there.

Really?

yes they should , but not straight away there are some form and feeses that needs paying .. but as much i know on this , its not a biggie, educate me on this If i am wrong .


Thanks.

[cadnica]

as i applied flro with my spouse knowingly that my both kids are born here. and as soon as i able to drag my time towards 28 days before my 10 years i will apply my ilr and after i will apply naturalization for my both kids. but my flro application was refused just before 7 days of my 10 years (before 28 ).7 days leave the country notice and with out side country right of appeal. also refusal says that if i have reasonable ground for any other application i can make one.

Hi guys,
please I have a very similar issue to @Cadnica but mine is a little different cos i never had a rejected,

I first entered the UK on 15/05/2006, I have always renewed my visa on time, I have never been illegal and I have not left the UK since then. My current visa expires on 30/04/2016. meaning I am 15 days short of completing the full 10 years.

entered UK: 15/05/2006
CURRENT VISA expires: 30/04/2016
15 days short of 10 years

1: I'm I now eligible for the ILR long residence as my visa doesn't run until I fully complete the 10 years
2: what method is better in my scenario: Premium service or By post
3; if I'm not eligible, what could be an options

going through previous post I realised a member @GBforum was in a similar situation last year but I can't find anything post on his outcome.

can anyone please help

Dear sukosukkyboie,

I believe you are not familiar with the basic ilr requirements. Did you know that you can apply ilr 28 days prior to the completion of 10 years. Having said that you don't have to file any application to extend your stay, you can just simply file the ilr on 17-April-2016.

As 17th falls on Sunday you can attend the PEO on Monday, 18-April-2016.

Thanks Knucks for your response,
I thought and believe as much that I could easily do that, But just on Friday I rang UKBA just to be sure but I was told that even if you are applying 28 days prior to the completion of the 10 years, your current Visa must still run until at least the 10th year. The 28 days grace period is given for you to re-apply but it doesn't necessarily mean you have a legal Visa during this time.

That's according to UKBA officers (i called and spoke to 2 different people at different times)

My initial plan was to go for PEO on the 18/04/16 and book another PEO for my Spouse on 30/04/16 or first week in may as our visa expires same day of on 30/04/16.

Thanks

Hi guys,

Another update on my case, I have received my BRP today with issue date of 17/02/2016. I have not received any letter from HO informing me of the decision yet but who needs it now.

It was almost one month since my PSC appointment but thanks God it is all over now.

I would like to thank you all the members and readers of this forum for there advise and help. It has been a great platform for information and guidance.

I will let you all know once I received the rest of my documents and my IHS refund.

Congrats gameover_786,

You can apply for ILR anytime within 28 days of reaching 10 years long residence. Many have applied even though their visa expires a few days before hitting 10 years.

from your explanation my current visa does not need to run until the 10th year. it only need to run until i clock 9 years 11 months 2 days (10years-28days)

HO are well known for giving incorrect advice. They are normal people in a call centre, they are not registered OISC advisors.

All visas have the benefit of applying 28 days before meeting the requirement (Non EU routes). Many people have done it, search the forum and you will see. Are you applying FLR(M) for your wife?

Please don't keep posting in this topic as it is not a 'general query' topic and the Original poster's questions/queries are getting drowned by others jumping in here.

Thanks again and sorry for jumping in, i thought it was a general for everyone.

My initial plan is to apply using PEO on the 18th and apply for my spouse on the 30th or first week in May.

This article has been posted on the forum before, but is well worth reading for anyone considering relying on advice given on the UKVI 'help line'.

You csn ring h.o but you have had your experience in the past that calling them doesnt help all of thr time and the address I am confident wont be changed I hope they change it to where you want it to come.
