Dear users plz update!!!!

Dear Blog Fellows,

I have been a reader of this blog for a while and once asked a question here about my ILR case. Many thanks for everyone here - a very helpful blog. Special thanks to Zee Ali and a few others who replied to the query.

My ILR have been approved at Cardiff PEO today - relief.

My Case was simple except I had a CCJ and IVA since 2010. I have been declaring this in all applications with a simple line stating what happened. No Questions asked.

The rest was straightforward Student + PSW + Student (10 Yrs).

Very polite staff at Cardiff PEO. Total time spent there was exactly 1.5hrs.

Alhamdulillah I am relieved now and pray everyone else hear good news.

Let me know if some wants to ask anything.

Kind regards

Congrats Longresident85.

[Zee ali]

once again Thanks a Lot Zee Ali,
Will my son be on FLRM for next five years or once i got british passport he can apply for British passport too? i know his father got to be on FLRM status for next five years but what about my son?

Your son will also stay on flrm for next 5 years as well along with your husband as he born outside uk.

what will happen if saima79 did not apply for her son for FLRM and he will be in UK for the next 1-2 years. so after that she will be British SO HE WILL BE ABLE TO APPLAY FOR ASTEZENSHIP.
I AM RIGHT OR WORNG PLEASE CLARIFY?
GORAN

Both parents should have British passports or applied for it than they can register foreign born child as British national.

Hi Hammad14. Xam, Sumonnub2003

I had my interview yesterday it was all about toeic

the person was very polite who conducted the interview they asked

Where did you took your exam? (name of center, address)
What was the date?
How much you paid?
How did you pay? cash or card
Who recommended you?
Why you chose toeic?
How many people were there?
What was the pattern of the exam?


it was long time ago so I remembered vague details but he looked satisfied. I think they are checking your credibility, confidence as well as if you are telling the truth. Keep your answers short and sweet don't justify yourself as they are not accusing of anything or they will go suspicious. Best of luck to all of us and pray to God everything turns out in our favor.

Hammad you said it's all over where did you heard that?

It depends on the case worker. If he is unable to give u decision same day because of your passport than he will tell u and also give u a time frame ( 1 week or 2 week as soon he gets the passport).

yes u r right i am the same guy.

Application FLR FP Varied to SET LR !0 year

Student Visa Expired = 28th March ( Needed 5 months to be eligible for ILR)
Applied FLR FP = 24th March
Got Rejected = 15th June (Needed 1.5 months to be eligible for ILR)
Applied Second FLR FP = 24th June ( to buy the time)
FLR FP Application Vary to SET LR on 13th Aug
SET LR Granted = 4th Sep
Documents Received = 5th Sep

I applied right 28 days before and went for the premium service, i didn't got the decision on the same day as i didn't had my passport with me, it was with the home office, i got the decision on 4th Sep right after 3 weeks.

Thanks again for all the help, this is the best forum, i can't trust any lawyer bcz my first FLR fp was rejected just bcz of my lawyer so i came to this forum and prepared my case with the help of this forum and special members like Zee Ali, Omor4real, Obie, Saadasif, tajammul77.

Thanks again everyone

Wish everyone Good Luck !!

Great. Congrats Hassan. One confusion is over that we can also vary out of time application successfully even on premium service.

[d3thmark]

@zee ali bro i was not out of time application, i cleared the misconception of 9 days.
the day u leave and enter donot count towards absence from UK.

Only entire days spent outside the UK count as absences. For example a migrant leaving the UK on Monday and returning on Wednesday would only have been absent from the UK for one day.

[UK007]

It depends on the case worker. If he is unable to give u decision same day because of your passport than he will tell u and also give u a time frame ( 1 week or 2 week as soon he gets the passport).

Is there anyway to contact HO to request to have your passport on the PEO u booked appointment for ? [when you have your decision pending]

I am talking about your 2nd flr fp application even if it is within the 28 days time its still count out of time. U dont have any visa when u put 2nd flr fp application? if yes than any other application even in 28 days after 1st application refusal its count out of time.

[d3thmark]

i guess it count towards ur time that is why i got the approval.. u know the best bcz thats what u recommend to apply flr fp again to buy more time and then vary to set lr ...

[Zee ali]

Yes dear i know i recommend u to take that chance. Btw out of time application is not against your immigration history or break your continuity as long u get the visa as at the end. I had one out of time application in 2007 got the visa at the end and now ILR.

Only thing is out of application should not be more than 28 days form your visa expiry or end of section 3c.

plus in your case u varied out of time flr fp application to set lr. Some moderators here r also not clear on that, that u can vary out of time application or not. According to HO guidance u can vary an in time application but nothing mention about out of time application variation.

Now u owe me a party.

Congrats Hassan. Just want to ask one question if you can answer me. I'm currently on flr fp appeal and going to withdraw the appeal and applying for flr m.

Thanks Zee actually i have got B2 english Language certificate instead A1. and that certificate will expire on 5th of November and i can't appear for A1 test again because i don't have original passport with me. i have tried and speak with trinity college but they said they can't accept it without original passport and advised me to contact HO. that's why i'm going for premium service.
or if you can help me to appear for A1 test with the passport copy and BRP copy then please let me know. then i will apply as normal without using premium service. Regards
