Hi everyone

I am looking for advice in regards to my situation
I had a resident permit on descreationary grounds but now I made an applied for my ILR on the12th feburary 2016 (10 years route)

I recently gave birth to my son July 2015 which was before my application. I didn't add him with my application but my lawyer mentioned him in the cover letter and I sent my son's birth certificate as well. (On advice of my solicitor)

Well I just got my biometrics letter with another form asking if I have any further grounds for my application.

As you can imagine this has got me worried as my mum who did the same exact thing as me, didn't get this form with her letter.

Could this be a bad sign or is it just a procedural thing.

My solicitors can not come up with a specific reason why I was sent this form other than the HO want to inquire about the status of my son or sons father.

Any information is welcomed as I'm going slightly crazy just thinking about it. The only thing keeping me sane is looking after my son.

Thank you.

HI all i came to UK 2006 as a student and my visa was finished 31st December 2009. So i send my application for student visa extension on 18 December 2009. 19th January 2010 home office sent my application as a invalid and the reason behind that my photo was not up to their criteria and they gave me 28 days time to make a new application but they send the post in a wrong address so i received it very late. which i found from the subject access request form. i received this letter 5th Feb 2010 so i had only 8 to 10 days in my hand. i called the for original bank statement they said it will take 8 to 10 working days to sent a new statement and they suggest me to go to the bank withdraw a statement from their. so i send my application with instant bank statement and they said it was not the correct one so they refused my application and did not give me any appeal right. After that i send again a fresh application and i got visa April 2010. This year i send my application for 10 years long residency and now they are saying i am here for 9 years 7 months and i have 73 days gap between 31st December 2009 to April 2010 and refuse my application. if you guys know any about that please help me with your valuable comment what i could do as a next step. Thanks

Well in case you're applying for SET ( LR ), you're allowed to apply 28 days before your 10th anniversary, which in your case will be 17th of April onwards, so well within your existing visa :) .. Hope this helps!

Congrats again, happy for you. Mine is 15 days short of clocking 10years. I still dont have a clue what to do.

Thank you senior members for your reply and help.

Both of u can apply 28 days early.

I have a similar query, Can 1 of the Guru's shed some light on this matter kindly? Many thanks in advance

Hi guys,
please I have an issue, I first entered the UK on 15/05/2006, I have always renewed my visa on time, I have never been illegal and I have not left the UK since then. My current visa expires on 30/04/2016. meaning I am 15 days short of completing the full 10 years.

entered UK: 15/05/2006
CURRENT VISA expires: 30/04/2016
15 days short of 10 years

1: I'm I now eligible for the ILR long residence as my visa doesn't run until I fully complete the 10 years
2: what method is better in my scenario: Premium service or By post
3; if I'm not eligible, what could be an options

going through previous post I realised a member @GBforum was in a similar situation last year but I can't find anything post on his outcome.

can anyone please help

Dear All,

For those having problems with "28 days grace" to put in a new application to the Home Office and whether such an application will be considered as "Overstayer", this new Upper Tribunal judgement delivered this year 2016 will be helpful.

The applicant in this case was successful.

The case is: The case is: The Queen on the application of Jyotika Priyesh Bhudia v Secretary of State for the Home Department http://www.bailii.org/uk/cases/UKUT/IAC/2016/25.html.

This case may put an end to the issue and stress of "28 days grace" given by the Home Office.

Goodluck to everyone!

I came in uk legally in early 2014 I am currently on human rights spouse visa. I previously married with EU spouse but I couldn't prove that my ex-wife was exercising treaty rights.

is there any strong case for me to apply PR on basis of over 10 years of residency now or I just have to wait forever.... is there any similar case example from court please?

hi shani1985
i have attended the window yesterday croydon centre.
i have completed my 10 years this year but the problem is he has also asked me to provide the related documents from my previous grant to leave which was tier1 entrepreneur....but my concern is how did you manage to withdraw your case?
is theres any chance to withdraw the application?
i believe when you will apply again they will ask u the same thing or maybe more documents than before.
so you better consult with any solicitor.
kindly tell me how did you withdraw your application and whats the procedure?

Hello Everyone,

I am completing my 10 years by end of Nov this year, I was on student visa from 2006 until oct 2011 then PSW was granted until oct 2013, on time application was made for an entrepreneur visa but got refused in march 2014, successfully won the appeal under the immigration rules in April 2015 and visa was granted until april 2018, Now successfully running my business and investing accordingly.

What precautions I should keep in mind when applying on 10 year basis? I would like to go for premium service if it possible as my entrepreneur was granted after winning an appeal?

Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Best regards,
Jag

I applied under 28 days grace period but someone just told me that you are over 28 days as home office consider the date on which last leave expired until the date on which decision
is granted.

Plz help.. Its a big headache for me..
