Hi everyone,

I just sent my application for ILR using SET (LR) forms:

Application Sent: 17/09/2013
Payment Method: Credit Card
Acknowledgement letter: 19/08/2013
Biometrics letter received: TBC
Biometrics enrolled: TBC
Approved Date (On Letter): TBC
Passport/Approval Letter Received: TBC
Biometric Card Received: TBC

Documents Sent:
Passports (x3).
Life in the UK Test Result.
Payslips.
bank statement with bank letter showing current balance with opening date of account.
current bills.
covering letter.

My route to 10 years residence is 5 years student visa + 2 years PSW + 2 years Tier 1 (General) + 3 years Tier 1 ( General expire 10/10/2015). All I sent in the post was three passports, with visas and residence permit spanning last 10 years.

Hi khizarm, if you are applying for 10 year long residence why you send Payslips,
bank statement with bank letter showing current balance with an opening date of the account
and current bills?
I updated on SkyDrive.
Good Luck.

Hi guys,

I received my ILR last week and needs to apply for my wife.
She's been here for almost 7 years - Student dependant for 2 years, PSW dependant for 2 years and Tier 1 General dependant for almost 3 years now. She currently have Tier 1 visa dependant visa until 2016 (based on my previous Tier 1 Visa).

In short, what form should i use to apply for her and can her application be processed at PEO?

Any help/response will be very much appreciated.

Since she's already been as your dependent for more than 2 yrs on Tier1 dependent, I have an impression that she can apply for her settlement if she's already got her LITUK certificate.

Read this post to understand how and what to do.

Thanks Damanisshallo, so the usual SET (O) might do the trick. Also, as the category isn't clear, could she apply for same day service as PEO?

Cheers.

Your wife should go on FLR (M) visa once she get FLR (M) then immediately you can apply for ur indefinite visa based on she spent 2 years with you as dependent providing that she passed the LIfe in the UK test or ESOL level 2 with citizenship . you must apply with in 28 days of ur ILR visa.

Dear ,

Many Congratulations!!

if you dont mind can i ask you was your case straightforward ? i have heard from some friends that if you apply through solicitor ,UKBA reply you early means HO take less time to decide the out come of an application ....if you have any idea about please let me know !

Thanks ,

Thank you all for your wishes!

if you dont mind can i ask you was your case straightforward ? i have heard from some friends that if you apply through solicitor ,UKBA reply you early means HO take less time to decide the out come of an application ....if you have any idea about please let me know !

I'm not sure whether my case is straight forward or not, had one appeal 5 years back regarding my work permit and I was covered under temporary leave (3c) by then. Apart from that keeping a solicitor won't make a big difference, I guess. In my case my solicitor just filled the application and posted on my behalf. But If your waiting time is more than 6 months then the solicitor can help in the communication part with the HO.

As I have been following this board, the HO follows a decision time in an order for atleast 70 to 80% applications. So if you are lucky (or if the probability works on your way) you are sure to get your ILR around the time of 5 to 6 months.

It is really painful to wait blindly. There should be some mode of tracking for the waiting time, which the HO should consider at least for the long waiting ILR applications.

Hi iHope applying three or more months before completing 10 years is bet tricky and i think its gamble as well i had three months short from 10 years entered UK 13/04/2003 and last visa was expiring on 10/01/2013 so short of about three month and if apply 28 days before than about two months i went to see many solicitors some of them told i can not apply short of time but some told me that i can apply and explain that if you apply before the end of your previous leave you are going to be covered by 3c leave till home office decide your application and home office take about 5/6 months to decide applications but there is a chance that if a casework unit notice its early application they may decide it early but i have been told that still i will get right of appeal as i will make a in time application which will attract right of appeal and by the time i will get court hearing date i will complete 10 years eventually and then i can make an other application and if home office take it normal time 5/6 months at the time of decision i wil be over 10 years and according to the law i should get ILR i had other option to make a application to cover 3 months and then vary that application to ILR which i did i applied for tier 1 visa and when i completed 10 years i varied that application to ILR and i am still waiting for the outcome of my application its just gone over 5 months now and hopefully will get positive result in my opinion this way is more safe though its more costly. there will be some one who knows more then me about this situation come on guys have your say as there will be may people in this situation.

On the Set LR page of the UKBA it says:"Please do not send us your application more than 28 days before the end of your 10-year qualifying period. If you do, we may refuse your application and we will not refund the fee"

Hi Asjid! thanks very much for your response. I understand what you are saying. I have exactly the same situation but i have dependants as well with no option of extending on point based system. i could apply directly for IRL and even if get refused, I could win in appeal as you explained BUT safer option for me is to apply FLR (O) and during the process, I can vary my application once 10 year mark is passed or within 28 days of 10 years limit. thanks again and good luck

Hi iHope i think you are right FLR(0) is very good option that's going to be a safe bridge for you to reach 10 years compilation.There is one point which is very important do every effort to make a valid FLR(0) application take extra care about HO fee payment photos and correct application form any mistake at this stage can be problem if you need any information regarding variation process you are more then well come, God bless you i wish you best of luck.
