10 years long residence applications

Dear Forum Members
I have recently got my ILR based on 10 years long residency on 15/02/2015. I have my wife and 2 kids as my dependents. Both kids born in the UK, one born recently after my ILR on 17/02/15. I would appreciate if some senior members can advise me on the following queries:
1) Can I apply for MN1 for my one kid born before my ILR?
2) Can I apply for British Passport for the kid born after my ILR?
3) I know I have to apply for my wife FLR(m) under new rules. Her current visa will expires in Sep 2017, but my question is how soon I can apply for her FLR(m)? Recently in one of the post someone mentioned to apply for dependent FLR(m) within 28 days after main applicant ILR. Can someone help me where is this 28 days rule mentioned? I am just a wee bit worried to hear this. As far my understanding the dependent only need to switch to FLR(m) ASAP if their visa is going to expire soon or they have any travelling plans. In our situations we don't have any travelling plans.

Would appreciate kind advise and help.

Wife dependant: visa start from 01/08/2014 to 15/07/2015 as a tier 1 dependant
As I change my category from tier 1 general to ILR on long residency.
Which visa did she need to apply to stay on my dependant? And what’s its requirement?
Please can anybody send me list of documents require for visa?
I have baby which born on 20/01/2015 after I got ILR .So I think she will get British passport straight away? Can somebody confirm it as well please?
Thank you guys in advance.

FLR(M).

You are correct. Baby is British, if born in the UK.

Hi,

There is no hard and fast rule of 28 days, it is a grey area, but there is no rule either that she can carry on with her old visa. Technically she is no longer of your dependent as you have changed your status. So this is a common sense approach, you should change her dependency to your status as a settle person and you are no longer on tier 1 that means she can't rely on that any more. Now, the question is what does asap means. There is no definition of ASAP, however ideally it should be within 28 days. But I think home office will also consider if your mrs apply late because of her family life and British citizen kids. My friend had to go to the tribunal for similar case like you because of the late application but eventually they got the visa. Therefore, though your mrs application will be successful even a late application but why should you get into all sorts of trouble if you could do it now without any question asked.

Hi mizanbg
Thanks very much for your kind advise. I got the point but when its not mentioned on HO guidelines how they can reject someone. I know its good to sort out things from our side rather than leave it on HO mercy.

Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone knew if the speed at which you enroll your biometrics affects the overall time for the application. Or does the application go to a caseworker even while they're waiting for biometrics to come in.

Reason I ask is because the HO sent my lawyer a letter a few days ago saying I had missed my first biometric deadline (15 days from the date of the first letter - the date of the first letter isn't specified) and that I had to do it within 17 days of the date of this new letter (I already did). Thing is, neither me or my lawyer ever got that first letter (I never received a copy of the second letter either, only my lawyer did - is that normal?) and now I'm worried my application will be delayed by 2 or 3 weeks because of it.

Thanks and good luck to everyone waiting for decisions.

TIMELINE:
Posted: 13.01.2015
Acknowledged:15.01.2015
First Biometric Letter: Unknown
Second Biometric Letter: 16.02.2015 (Received 19.02.2015)
Biometrics submitted: 25.02.2015


edit: I found ashoknairs posts from last year. he seems to have experienced the exact the same thing as me.

ashoknairs wrote:Dear All,

I got a call from my solicitor yesterday (08/08/2014) informing me that my application has been approved.

My timeline :

Application send : 24 March 2014
Acknowledgement received : 02 April 2014
First Biometric invitation letter missed, I nor my solicitor received the letter.
Second Biometric letter received : 01 May 2014
Biometric enrolled : 05 May 2014
Solicitor received approval letter and BRP card : 08/08/2014

Thank you very much guys for all your help..... All the very best for those who are waiting....

Kind Regards,
Ashok...

his info, along with the google docs spreadsheet (his bio-enrollment date on the spreadsheet is wrong) seem to suggest that a delay in enrolling biometrics might not affect the overall time it takes to process an application. I'll leave my post up in case someone wants to chime in or on the off chance that it might help someone later on in a similar situation.

hi thank you for your reply.....

where can i find require documents list please?

thank you in advance

Hi,

Phoned HO again and spoke to horrible man, he asked me to wait for few second. after 30 to 40 second he asked me case id and other stuff and than he replied my application is not completed. I have asked him, is it with case worker or waiting for decision etc... and he gave me vague reply. Then I asked him which month application HO is dealing with ? His answer was shocking as he told me, Ho is dealing with October applications. Last week I got reply as HO dealing with November application.


Thanks

Please anyone help me on that..
I am varying my pending Tier-4 application to FLR (LR). Do I have to pay full fees £601 and wait for the refund or I can pay the balance of £179?
Thank you in advance

Hi mate it's clearly show they are dealing with November and December application I don't understand why they giving different information every day . Waiting is the only solution.

Hi guys I just rang HO today the guy said we r currently dealing with Nov applications and my application is not even allocated to case work unit but last week the guy said that ur application is been allocated to the case work unit. I don't know which one to believe. They don't really give us proper info. What do u say????the only thing we should do to be stay positive n carry on waiting. Prayers for everyone that we all get our approvels soon.
