If you had applied in Jan 2014, you should have been considered under old rules and got visa for 2 years.
When did you get the FLR(M) decision ? If its not late, write back to the caseworker who handled the FLR(M) and let them know about the rules (pre April 2014 rules). If you go through the previous posts, there are people here who have done the same.


thanks Shahjee,

however we have applied for her FLR(m) in January - 2014, and it should be considered on old rules not new rules, not sure why they given her 2.5 yrs visa, but should she not qualify for the ILR now?
Hi Hardikjshah,
die_hard has very kindly given you his opinion, and if you remember I did pointed this out to you, that they have issued a wrong visa to your Mrs, and that you should have written back to the case worker who dealt with her case, and they would have realised their mistake and put it correct for you. Not long ago, one of our members Mrs was in the exact same situation, and we recommended to write back to the case worker which they did, and they got a letter asking them to send the BRP back, and they were issued with proper BRP for 2 years. But mind it they wrote to the case worker immediately after they received the wrong 2.5 years visa. It is worth giving a try to either fix this BRP to 2 years, or to highlight the issue at a PEO appointment for your Mrs SET(M) and make them realise that you applied before the rule change, and that they should have issued your Mrs with a 2 years visa. And hope that they realise their mistake and put it correct by issing her the ILR.
All the best.
Kind regards

Thanks Shahjee - is ti worth booking a PEO apointment with SET(M) and pointig it out then, I mean if they refuse at that point - does it mean the SET(M) application fees paid will be lost?

Hi Hardikjshah,
Regards to the rule please follow this link, relevant rules are on page 17
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... dix_FM.pdf
Regards to booking the PEO appointment and if you will lose the fee ? Frankly I don't have any idea, but if your application for SET(M) is not entertained than I don't see any reason for them to charge you for that, except to charge you that £100 administration fee. But you better confirm with them first. If you ask me, I would suggest that it is worth giving a shot. All the best.
Kind regards
Shahjee

hello Dr. Shahjee
A quick recap review of few questions on set (lr), please check it:
A2: Simply copy same present home address which write at B14 if correspondence address is home.
B14: Same present address as mentioned in A2.
A3: Ignore A3 if sending yourself.
B19: Leave it blank
D14: Simply write in 2-3 lines that parents sister brother friends living in Pakistan.
And payment section circle £1093 not whole £1093-standard. And whether the tick the box means ✔ or ❌ the box.

Hi cool mind,
Yes you are right about all the questions.
Regards to circling the whole or just £1093, frankly I would suggest doesn't make any difference, but makes sense just to circle the amount only.
Regards to tick in the box that will be ✔, not ❌ as that is a cross.
Many thanks.

Hello Shah jee.

Thanks very much for helping me out in making up my mind and filling out the application form SET(LR). I have prepared the apllication and all supportive documents required. However, I have noticed a GAP between Visas as below which is giving me a little stress.

First visa expiry date 30-11-2005
Second visa Received: 12-02-2006 (56 days)
I don't have any refusal stamp or anything on my passport. I have had applied through my college at that time and was sent to the home office before expiry date ( counting on college). Is there anything I should be worried?

I have also applied for SAR last month and still waiting to receive it.
Please advise. Thanks

Kind Regards
Bharat

Am new to this forum. Getting ready to submit my ILR application, is there any benefit to using a solicitor? Does it reduce the waiting period?

Hi Newgirl ,

Welcome to this forum ,
Well i don't think so sending application through solicitor will expedite your case ...there are so many members on this forum who applied their own and they got approval with in average waiting time ....

If your case is straightforward and you think that you can do it your self then i don't think that applying through solicitor will make any difference ....
still choice is your .

Best of luck
keep updating us

Thanks
