As far as i know, applicants are now given 15 business days from the date of receipt of their biometric letter to enrol their biometrics , and their application is invalidated after that.

Hi Obie,

You are right and that is what it says on the bio matric invite you get from UKVI but I was sent one after the other. Not saying they would but they have done for many on different occasion.

You can try it, but be prepared whiles you ate in the process, for an abrupt end to your section 3C.

I should indeed as this is a big risk but luck favours the brave.. not recommending this to any one in the similar situation.

Quick one for the moderators is there any form to vary application for non point based system. There is one for point based called MCC but cant find any thing for non point based application. Or what is the procedure to vary application, lets say from FLR to ILR?

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi Cadnica,

I would suggest to speak to a good solicitor before you make any decision. You can try FLR and hope the UKVI will refuse and give you right of appeal.

Finally decided to apply through solicitor
He is only applying 2 flr o application one for my self and one for my wife.he did not apply for my two son's I understand for my second boy who born 2 month's ago but for my first one although he born here and left the country and came back to join me as tier4 dependent
The grounds of flr o application are very week as solicitor put that I want to sort out my things before I left the country and he is still hopefull to get drag the time by 6 months so that I would b able to apply ilr on 10 years

That is the wrong application that is likely to be refused without an appeal right.

Dear obie
Thanks for u r reply may I ask u what would have been a right aplication in my case.
As solicitor applied flr o with one dependent who is my wife and he knowingly did not apply application for my two kids one born 2 months ago and and older one born here 4 years ago stayed one year in country and left.and came back as a tier4 dependent.
My only concern is although there is no right of appeal in application but how will he drag time . Please do reply.
I will update my progress on post
Regards

Hi Candice

the right application for u and dependants is FLR FP...tell ur solicitor to raise human right grounds..if ur application is not successful but hopefully u will get in country appeal right...and change ur solicitor as well bcoz he gave u the wrong advice to apply for flr o...i had 7 month shorts for 10 year and applied for flr fp, refused but got appeal right

Cadnica, FLR fp still have. 50/50 chances. My one failed to get in country right of appeal , now on long route to JR . Don't know about future after spending 9 years and six months legally in Uk , without any refusal and also having almost 7 years old kid who is born here. Make your grounds solid in your application. And then just pray God . One of our GuRu OBIE having very good knowledge about this type application. We all very thankful to him . Good luck.

although I was advised by( OBIE and some other well-wisher sorry cant remember the ID) to change application and solicitor . As solicitor has already applied for flro instead flr fp .
my solicitor applied for FLR O with one dependent(my wife) he raised human right issue referring some cases . the only update is that home office deducted the money from my account . I need time up until 23rd of 2016 to complete 10 years will be lucky even I got time 28 days early to apply ilr.

I'm in a similar situation but I am only falling short of 9 days for 5 years completion for ILR on Tier1 general route.

After reading this thread, I'm a bit confused on the appeal rights.

Just in case in an unfortunate situation, if my ILR gets rejected, will I be eligible to appeal under ILR Set-O option?

I would really appreciate any advise on this from the senior members of this forum. Thanks very much.

Hi guys,

I have got only 6 weeks left before current leave expires and now i need to make the final decision to which option i should take to get the extra time to complete my 10 years.

The option for applying for ILR and then skipping the Bio-metric is a risky option which i would take if there are no other safe options.

Second option is to apply for FLR and then vary the application. That sounds less risky and have worked for many users before. Here is the questions if I go with FLR what form should i fill in? Is it FLR(FP) or FLR (LR)? I have my wife as dependent and she needs to apply for leave at the same time.

Thank you very much all for your help.

Flr fp is the right form. Flr lr is for the people who completed 10 years and for some reason they didn't pass LIUK or english test.

As u r short of couple of month so best option for u is FLR FP and than vary it to set lr (if u complete 10 years during flr fp process).
