When you say Appeal allowed, I am assuming they have only allowed you to appeal and the court did not overturn the rejection.

If that is the case, you are not eligible for 10 year LR. You will be eligible only when your last application - FLR (FP) is granted.

marcnath. Thanks for your help.

" Appeal Allowed" means I have been to court FTT and Judge has overturned the refusal and HO has not challenged it.

Ok. So once you get your FLR (FP) visa, you can apply for your 10 yr LR
