hi everyone,

I will representing myself in premium service without any solicitor.

If you have worked more than the hours your were permitted to work as a student, you will have a problem. Some members on the forum who applied for citizenship with the same issued have been refused and lost their fees.

Dear Mind202,

Six months before there wasn't ten years work history column in naturalization application form they just added it recently & if they added this column now so there must be some reason for that If you give them just your study record even you also have done work for that period & if they check your work history from HMRC as well so it will call deception & in naturalization cases there is no right of appeal they will allow
you just Administrative review which will most likely also be refused.

Dear i think as you already got 10 years ILR so in my opinion you should take a good profesional advice to solve this issue.

KInd Regard

Hi mate, this is the first time I have come across something like this. After your ILR, when you applied for Naturalization the HO has asked for you 10 year work history. Did they give you a reason for this request/demand. Why is it now that they need to see it as you do not have to prove anything to them at this stage. I would say consult a Lawyer and do not disclose any information to them until a good lawyer/barrister okays it.

Regards,

Regards,

Please do familiarise yourself with the current form AN. Providing 10 years employment history is now an addition in the new form since May 2015 and has to be completed by all applicants.

I know someone whose appeal was allowed but HO took about 3-4 months to issue visa which is normal. However I have heard cases where HO took over 6 months for doing the same.

If some member or any member can help me please

My wife came to UK on Feb 2009 on Student dependent Visas. I have completed my Master Degree from the University of Manchestr and applied for PSW visas (I am Main applicant and my wife is PSW Dependent).Me and my wife granted PSW visas until June 2012.

After 1 Year we both applied for Tier 1 General Visas ( Again I am Main applicant and my wife is Tier 1 general dependent). On this occasion I have granted my Tier 1 Visas but my wife’s application is being rejected and UKBA refunded application fees as she forgot to sign the declaration form.

She applied for her Tier 1 Dependent visa after 7 months (on Jan 2012) and Tier 1 Dependent Visas were granted.

Dose this seven month count as overstay? Is she stayed as illegal? Or her PSW dependent visa covers that stay on not count as illegal.

Please reply.
Thanks

No, it won't be regarded as overstaying, as she was covered under her PSW dependant visa during that 7 month period.

TeWaio wrote:Hi everyone,

I have followed this board for a while and appreciate all the knowledge that is shared.

My situation:

Arrived UK 29-09-05.

4 years on Tier 4, followed by 2 years on Tier 2 (general), followed by 3 years on Tier 4 again, followed by Tier 2 (general) I currently hold.

Meet all requirements for 10-year ILR (schedule of absences < 540 days, no convictions, no breaks in leave etc.) therefore eligible to apply for 10-year ILR on 01-09-15 (Home Office accepts applications 28 days early).

Have recently learned I am being made redundant by my Tier 2 employer effective 29-05-15. Therefore leave will be curtailed to 28-07-15 (termination date + 60 days), or, as I understand happens in practice, a extra week or so to account for the time it takes my employer to notify the Home Office and the Home Office to curtail my leave.

Therefore, I will probably have my leave to remain curtailed to a date sometime in early-mid August, which is a matter of weeks before I am eligible to apply for 10-year ILR.

There seems to be a 28-day 'grace' period that happens immediately after a leave curtailment date passes, whereby the Home Office can accept visa applications, and if said applications are successful do not count this as "breaking" ILR eligibility. My question is this: Were I not able to find another Tier 2 job in time, and were I to overstay beyond my likely early-mid August leave curtailment date and then submit my 10-year ILR application on 01-09-15, would that application be automatically refused, or would it stand a chance of being accepted (being within the 28-day grace period) if I otherwise met every possible requirement?

Thanks for reading. In a pretty tough situation here so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Best Wishes,
TW

Just to update everyone on my situation. The letter of curtailment never arrived from the Home Office after my gardening leave at my previous employer ended, which I was surprised about. That said, I found another job and completed a successful in-person application for a new Tier 2 work visa on August 28th, so even if my leave to remain had been strictly curtailed to the 2 month guidelines I would have been one day inside this.

I became eligible to apply for ILR via the 10 year route from September 1st, and did so via a premium service appointment in October. At the PSC, there was a problem with my schedule of absences in that the information I had provided to my solicitor showed 614 days absent, but the solicitor had added up the pages wrong (!) and had the total down as 350 days. Neither they nor I checked, and the first time I realised was sitting with the case worker, which was a bit of a shock.

Rather than reject my application outright, the Home Office kept it open for a few weeks as some of my absences were for business trips that were unavoidable through work. I spent the next few weeks collecting various original letters from my previous employers to verify work trips (both dates and that they were unavoidable in nature).

My absences minus my work trips came to 536 days over 10 years, just four days inside the limit. I have just found out this afternoon the the Home Office have accepted this, and granted me ILR, which is a huge relief.

Many thanks to the contributors on this board, and good luck to all with their applications.

Hi.

I had a question regarding the eligibility for the 10 years long residence application. I am a Turkish citizen and I have taken GCSEs and A-levels in the UK (within 3 years). I am currently in my second year of studies for a masters degree (will be 4 years when I graduate). I am also planning to undertake a PhD in the UK after I graduate (should be 3-4 years). Assuming I have stayed in the UK for the required amount of days, will I be eligible to apply for an ILR after I complete my PhD?

Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
