Hi Vinny,vinny wrote: ↑Fri Feb 01, 2019 12:16 amBeing refused for applying too early is not normally a ground for curtailment.
See another similar topic.
If they haven’t curtailed your visa, then their advice to apply for further leave to remain under the 10 year route is completely illogical and inappropriate.
Don’t rely on telephone conversations nor correspondence with the Home Office!
Apply for ILR again no sooner than 28 days prior to completing the 60 months in the UK, or after completing 60 months, and prior to expiry of leave.

Your qualifying time for ILR starts from the date your FLR(M) spouse visa was granted. Fiance visa doesn't count for ILR. It is clearly stated on the HO website.histhename wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2019 3:48 pmoh ok!...i arrived on a fiance visa!! So is that going to be my problem?!!

When you can settle permanently
The earliest you can apply to settle in the UK (called ‘indefinite leave to remain’) is after you’ve lived in the country for 5 years continuously with permission to stay (‘leave to remain’) as a partner. You cannot count any permission to stay in the UK as a fiancé, fiancée or proposed civil partner.
Thanks for pointing that out...a little late for me now tho Too bad the application doesn't state when i received visa rather than when i come into the country! and im confused where they got the october date from as that doesn't tie up with anything.CR001 wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2019 4:07 pmYour qualifying time for ILR starts from the date your FLR(M) spouse visa was granted.

LLR = limited leave to remain?Jojo19 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 06, 2019 10:15 amJust an Update.
Sorry i couldn't give an update on my thread as it is now locked.
I was also refused LLR for applying early by 2 months. I was told i will be deported or have a choice of Limited leave on the 10yrs route
I took the limited leave option to secure my job and finances while i fight HO’s decision.
I asked for a reconsideration but it was still the same outcome. Then i was advised by Konzo to keep going because she believed i had a case.
So i decided to send a Pap letter as my last go but made up my mind to reapply next year on the long residence route.
Fortunately HO responded to the letter after 8 months and confirmed my LLR will be granted.
Thanks Konzo you are a star.
I’m aware of ur case.. you were eligible on the day of decision.. 22/01, decision 18th Feb. Just that you applied early n submit biometrics before 28 days.
It was addressed to the Pap email : UKVIPAP@homeoffice.gov.ukaman90 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 11, 2019 3:34 pmI’m aware of ur case.. you were eligible on the day of decision.. 22/01, decision 18th Feb. Just that you applied early n submit biometrics before 28 days.
They refused reconsideration and you accepted the new visa- paid everything etc- you then sent a pap citing the guidance that you were the above and discretion or rule should have been applied?
You addressed this to whom? Ur caseworker or to whom it may concern or on the service complaint form/email?
