Please do not worry. From my own experience and the timeline you will receive the invitation letter the next day after e-mail. E-mail is automatic confirmation that HO added your details to their database. So on 22 or 23 u'll get it.

I'm getting stressed already as it's 4 weeks and I've not had biometric invitation letter
Received the acknowledgement letter fairly soon though.
But only today I had received the first email too!
Google drive doesn't show the email date. So I don't know if email comes first and then biometric letter next

Moderators, Can we add this email date column also do you think?
I think it'll be very helpful for people like me.

I wonder if my letter had got lost?!! as I live in a flat too & lots of letters r lying around anyway.

If it has got lost, do they send another letter? Has this happened to any one before? Or would they just reject!!?
Is it worth trying to contact them to check? But number is always busy & its difficult to get through

Thanks all.

There were only two people waiting before me. In total less than 10 people came today using same day under all categories.
It was nerve wrecking day, took around 3 hours to complete whole process. Then called me to desk and told there and then. All documents returned. No questions were asked.
I had a CCJ and one missing passport +visa (stolen). So I included explanation letter along with police report etc.
It was fine.
Extra fees for premium service WORTH it.

Hi Na74, congrats on your well deserve freedom.
Did they any questions during your interview ?
Thanks

No, they did not ask me anything, however a lot of people were called to desk to provide more information, give documents etc, one was taken to an office for interview by senior case worker. It is stressful as you can see things happening in front of you. You can see them checking documents, making phone calls etc. i could even hear their conversation as I was sat very near to case worker. It gave me even more stress. Not a good idea. But wait and stress has brought relief Alhamdulillah.

Thanks Na74 for you reply.

Could you please let us know what documents you submitted?

I am going for same day appointment next week on Wednesday. All your prayers are needed. Everything else is straightforward, apart from that I do not have one of my three passports issued in last ten years as it was stolen in UK. Got copy of that , plus visa copy, police report etc. ( I hope Home office has all records anyway which they can check to confirm travel dates). Any ideas how to overcome this ? Could this be a problem? Has anyone else had this problem?

I have mentioned, Family Ties (Parents) you can add siblings if you have any. I did the same, I got my ILR approved. I dont think that would have any effect on the outcome.

Thanks re1thk for ur reply
i will now mention my parents and sibblings only but not the property. i will update u next week the outcome. Inshallah it will be in my favour.

Any leave with the exception of visiting count towards lawful stay as long as you meet all other requirement.

you only need all your passport, liuk and English test or your degree certificate.

Visitor visa can count towards long residence provided the gap between exit and re-rentry is not greater than 6 months.

Thanks Omor4real...

Please which other requirements are you advising me on...

My husband will be 10 years in June... He has only traveled out the UK for 6weeks in total till date, 3 weeks in 2007 and another 3 weeks in 2013.
Never had any problem extending his visa until date, except in 2009, he has always use the same day service (PEO) till date.
When he attend this day in 2009, the caseworker requested one document from the university before he can make decision so he was asked to provide it within 5days which he actually got it the next day and post it to them as instructed but the home office didn't return his visa until almost 5month, which was approved anyway.

No any problem with the police... Please what do you guys advise?

Dear Friends,

I need your urgent response regarding 10 year long residency application, many thanks.

I first came to Uk on 12 May, 2005 and I would be eligible to apply for SET(LR) on 12 MAy, 2015 and could I apply 28 days before?

In the past 10 years, I have been out of the UK for only 3 months.

My latest Tier 4 leave was till 30/08/2014. I made an In-Time Tier 4 application on 28/08/2014 i.e 2 days before my leave expired. After 7 months, UKVI invited me for an interview but due to an accident I was unable to attend. I had sent them a letter form GP and UKVI rescheduled my interview date after 2 weeks. But I was still unable to attend and I had sent them one more letter from GP to reschedule the interview. I received the Automated Confirmation Email but this time UKVI did not write to me or reply to my email.

I thought they will reschedule my interview as the letter from GP clearly stated that I am not able to attend the interview. But UKVI did not send me any email or any communication if they have accepted my request or not apart from the automated acknowledgement email.

On 09 April, 2015 (the date on the refusal letter), UKVI sent me a refusal letter which I received on 15 April, 2015 on the following 2 grounds:

1: that I have spent more than 5 years on Degree level or Above.... which is not the case other wise I would not have obtained the CAS from a Highly trusted (Premium) institution. UKVI calculated the 5 year CAP wrongly (I can prove that by sending all my education certificates and degrees).

2: second refusal point was that I did not attend the interview without notifying UKVI... which I clearly did.... I have the all the emails as an evidence that I sent to UKVI regarding my interview to TMInterviewHub.gov.....

On the Refusal letter, it says that I have no right of appeal and no statutory right of appeal (what does statutory right of appeal means?) and also written Variation of Leave and decision to Remove but also written that if I want to make a fresh application in any other category, I can do so before my current leave expires.... but my current leave is already expired on 30/08/2014.

I have already submitted my SET (LR) application on 17/04/2015 which is 26 days before 12 may, 2015 as my Lawyer said that I can apply for long residency even though my previous Tier 4 application has been refused as I have 28 days after my refusal date (refusal date is 09 April, 2015)to apply for any other fresh application, in this case, SET(LR).

UKVI has already charged me £1,500 for the application fee... does it mean have UKVI accepted my SET(LR) application? and would they process it now?

I would really appreciate if someone can guide me that was I eligible to apply for SET(LR) application even though my previous Tier 4 application was rejected and I applied within 28 days after my refusal date? if I was not eligible, what should I do as I have already applied for the SET(LR)?

second thing is, If I want to challenge the Refusal of my Tier 4 application, what should I do as UKVI has not given me any right of appeal, I am not even sure if I am even allowed to go for Judicial Review?

Should I go for Pre action Protocol for Judicial review against the the UKBA decision even though I have already applied for SET(LR) application... what is the process for Pre Action Protocol and to which address should I send that or is there any email of UKBA, I can send this notice to?

I would be very grateful if some one can guide me about these matters, much appreciated.

Kindest regards

Forget about tier 4 and concentrate on set lr now. U will get ILR. Finger crossed

Mubi,

Yes I was going to say the same as Zee Ali.
Just forget Tier 4 and wait for their response on your ILR. You should receive acknowledgement letter soon.

Statutory right means legal right.
I believe your application is valid as you applied within the stated period of your refusal - 28 days or 10 days or whatever that's stated on that.
I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your second question.
Good luck!

Thank god I received the biometric letter today and did it today as well!!! (Updated the time line)
Its been a stressful 1 month even for that! Oh god!
So yes, its correct then the email comes first prior to the biometric letter!

Doesn't the time line go in date order?
I can see it's been in order until very late. Just the last ones are not.
Would some one be able to arrange the latest rows in time order please?
Thanks!!

Those who have received ILR,
was there an earnings requirement to it?
I have seen many students are applying/ applied. so surely it is unfair to ask earnings from students?

If not, is there an earnings requirement for dependants?
I'm sure I've seen £18600 on this thread or somewhere. Is that it?
But if dependants are not in the Uk, not been earning how to fulfil that?
Is savings sufficient?

Or is this 18600 requirement when dependants qualify to apply for ILR themselves, under 5-10 year rule?
And not required for the visa as dependant of settled person (under Set M .. or whatever set!)

Sorry I'm just enquiring as I'm stressing thinking even if my ILR work, my partner may not be able to get in
Thanks in advance

there is no earning requirement to obtain residence under long residence, but you need to show earnings of 18600 for your dependant using form flr(m).

However people that can't meet this earnings normally use form flr(fp), and the application will be base on either the dependant private life or as parent of a british child i.e if you have register your children after your ilr.

As you request about dependent not in UK am afraid you will have to earn that money, savings also count check the guidance. Also note the more the dependant the more money you have to show.
