Guys
In the two links above, on the same website the solicitor is giving to completely contradictory (totally opposite) advice.

The link you provided above where a solicitor has advised that the ILR will be refused if the applicant does not have visa to complete 10 years of lawful residence was actually asked by me on that website. My story is that I was 3 days short of actually completing 10 years. I had applied for ILR in August 2012 but in December 2012 I heard from someone that if the applicant does not have a valid visa to complete 10 years the application for ILR will be refused. So it was lot of panic for me and nobody seemed to know the answer for sure. I posted earlier links from whatdotheyknow.com in which UKBA replied to a similar query in which they said that having few days short of the qualifying period is not an issue as long as the applicant applies for ILR no more than 28 days prior to completing the qualifying period and has a valid leave to remain at the time of the application. However to put your mind at peace I received my ILR on the basis of 10 years long residence in May 2013. Hope this helps.

Hello to all senior members
I had applied last week my ILR on SET(LR) and also applied for my wife FLR(M) along as her visa was expiring as well but i am bit worried she was sent her biometric invite with in a week but i am still waiting although i have sent a request letter to uphold her application but still they sent her Biometric letter straight away.

i am worried they might decide her application straight away(which can only be refusal) while my application is still not concluded?? do i really need to worry or should i send another letter requesting uphold of her application ??
plz advice me regarding this
regards

I don't see any worries about it; Biometric invitation is normal process after sending any kind of application . Invitation of biometric varies from SET (LR) and FLR(M). Its does not mean that your wife application will be processed before your one. They will hold your wife application until you application being decided.

To be fair jony_dhaka, your English isn't the best either... Not meaning to be rude #justsaying

On a different note, I am a new member to this forum and I must commend the works of the gurus and other senior members who provide sound advice to people here.

For the skydrive, I posted my set (LR) ILR application on July 12, fee deducted on July 16, biometric invite on July 26 and enrolled on July 29. I am still waiting to hear back. Thanks

yes i applied for tier 1 Nov12 and varied that application 19/04/13 when i completed 10 years i have not received any decision so for hopefully i will receive it in few weeks but its bit complected withdrawing application is expensive but very easy you going to lose your fee but much quicker and easy any way you can carry on your studies even you have ILR status

On SET (LR) form page 9 it says 'For the application to be valid and complete, you must provide your original current
passport or travel document unless it is not available for one of the reasons specified on
the application form.'
Three options are given 1. Lost 2. Stolen and 3. Expired for both current and previous passports. No option is available to say 'passports already with UKBA'.
My question is, if someone has another outstanding application with UKBA at the time of ILR application, their passports will be with the UKBA already (as it is in your case), What can they do to get round this on the application? What did you do on your application? Did you write a cover letter to let them know that your passports are already with UKBA?

Many thanks

Dear Nhbloke yes when i send my variation application i send a covering letter with it and mention that ukba already got may passport and other paper work with initial application you can make later on an other request to ukba to linkup your paper work with varied application on application i write down ukba already got may passports and papers

Dear asjid73, thanks for your reply mate. Can you tell me one thing, you said you varied your Tier 1 application to ILR on 19/04/2013 when you completed 10 years. Do you mean you completed the full 10 years on 19/04/2013 or is it 28 days to your full 10 years?
Would be good if you could share exactly when you entered the country and when you completed the full 10 years.

Many thanks

Hi Nbloke i was entered in UK on 14/04/2003 my last visa was expiring on 08/01/2013 so i was short of three months then i applied Tier 1 entrepreneur visa Nov.12 my application was pending with HO i completed full ten years and then varied my Tier 1 application to ILR because if you don't have valid leave you cant make any new application you can only vary an application grounds if there is any pending application with HO .

Thanks in advance.

HI,
I am waiting for my ILR from april 2013 and have sent my wifes flrm on the 10th of august. she has done her biometric and waiting as well. Our relationship is on the verge of complete breakdown. physical assault took place for few minutes as well. I have a daughter of 4 months. Can she or me withdraw her flrm application barring any effect on my 10 years ILR, which is pending? her visa expired but she can go back home with the baby without flrm approval!

Hello everyone,

Firstly, i would like to thank all the people who are making a contribution to this wonderful forum. It has been a great source of information for me. I have been a silent follower for months, and now it's time to make my application.

I have a question about the photocopies that need to be submitted with the application. I understand you should provide photocopies of 'any pages of the passport that contain personal details, visas or immigration stamps (foreign or UK).' However, it's not clear to me whether ALL stamps in the passport need to be photocopied, even those which are irrelevant to the application (i.e. trips outside the 10-year period, or trips while already outside the UK).

I don’t want to provide more information than needed, as that generally slows down the process.

Has anyone got any information about this?

Only from the date of your first entry into the UK

Jony Dhaka:
This forum has been created to assist each others rather than showing English language expertise. To be honest I cant find any flaw in his query and as long as we understand each others view its more than enough irrespective of any language flaw.
This is basically an informal discussion so chances of errors can not be ruled out.
No offense but I would suggest you to please help others and if you cant then stay quite instead of posting irrelevant, contentious and sarcastic messages.
Thanks

VAF4A Form with Appendix 2 Financial Requirement Form

[Tier 4]

Has anyone applied and gained ILR on the basis of long residence by post having a shortfall in their qualifying period like a month or so.

Especially with the understanding; that by the time case worker looked into their case they will meet-up the required qualifying period.

Thanks
