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

Sweech02,

It should not be counted as overstay, as the visa was still valid.

I see your ref, as this was a dependant visa, and when the main applicant switched, the dependant should have switched too, but that did not happen, but still by the look of it, the visa she was on never expired or UKBA sent her any letter, so her visa was valid and she never overstayed.

This can be proved with the application you submitted in Jan 2012, if there was a concern UKBA might have had, they could have objected at that time, so i won't say its an overstay.

However please note, i am not a solicitor and this must be constituted as a legal advice.

Thank you T1EAccelerated,

I am revealed. Yes we have managed her visa twice. First time from PBS to Tier 1 dependent and Second time for Tier 1 Extension.

now if we get ILR do you think we are ok during the Citizenship.

Thanks

My husband applied for ILR under tier 1 general set (o) on 23rd July and his biometrics were taken within 2 weeks. He has received 2 emails stating that his application is still being considered. It is a straightforward case.

I just managed to get through to the HO and they advised that they are now processing applications for this type of visa received in July so I am hoping that we should hear something soon.

Hi All,

Just to provide an update to those waiting to hear about pending applications, I just spoke to the Home Office and they advised they have now started processing applications received in August.

Hope this is helpful.

Hi eclairs

Why did they return ur passport? I am a bit confused? My is stills uth them

Hi Anushree996,
As per the letter came along with my passport, it is the new process in which they are returning the passport after verification and will continue processing application.

Very good decision I think as it helps people who wish to travel under extreme circumstances without withdrawing the application.

They've kept my BRP though...

in my case they returned brp as well. may be because I've ltr till feb16. but it's really very good decision.

I am hoping you should get your ILR within next two to three weeks surely.HO says if they cant decide an application and there are compilications they will let you know. but in you case they have already enquired about what they wanted.if there would have been any other enquiry they would have written down with the enquiry letter you have received.

Hi Azhar

I believe in my case they have already taken the decision on the main applicant which is my husband . As they sent us the enquiry after almost 3 months . I think now they are verifying my documents . They are really slow . I mean sending an enquiry after 3 months is ridiculous. They should have sent it earlier .
My time line is as follows
Date of posting application 22.05.2015
Acknowledgement letter 12.06.2015
Biometrics given 26.06.2015
Enquiry by home office. 12.08.2015

Hello Anushree,

Just a quick one, when you received the enquiry from Home Office, was it a signed delivery or a regular post with no signatures.

I just missed a delivery from post office and called UKBA to find out if it was them only who sent me some communication, need to know if the enquiries from UKBA are also sent out via signature and tracking based service or am i expecting something else.

Would appreciate your response.

Hi
I am in need of some help. My husband has been called for a second interview at Liverpool regarding his English language test. Can anyone tell me what they can possibly ask 2nd time round??
We applied using the premium service 24th November 2014 and this is still ongoing a year later.
It's a set m ilr application
Thanks

Hi,

I need some advise on following situation:
I got Ilr based on tier 1 (PEO) a week ago, while due to apply by post for my wife, son and daughter. As, son is OK as he came to Uk with us in 2010, but daughter was born in overseas July-12 (got entry clearance 2 months after to join us in UK). My question is:

- Is daughter will be eligible to have ILR along with mom and son, or she will be suffering from Post July-12 rule ? Somebody, told me that home office provision suggest that ".......a minor child cannot be left stranded in a temporary category if both parents have settled..."

- If so, then do i have to mention that in Set 0 form while applying by post for my wife, son & daughter ?

Please share you views as i am really struggling for solution before applying anytime soon.

Kind regards

Hi,

Just to provide an update, my husband applied as Tier 1 General on 23rd July and he has just had his passport returned today with the BRP being sent within the next 7 days. It was being processed by the Liverpool office.

Hope this is useful and good luck to those still awaiting their visas.

Hi Kristy

Just wanted to say congrats and ask when did your husband go for his biometrics appointment?
I applied mid July and had biometrics appointment at the end of August. All the letters were from Liverpool office so I'm guessing my application is at Liverpool office. Just wanted to get a rough idea as to how long I may need to wait further.

Many thanks

Hi Sam1893,

His biometrics appointment was 1st August. It was a relatively straightforward application (no dependants, employed, etc.) and no further enquiries were raised that we needed to respond to.

The number I used to check was the enquiry line on 0300 1232241. The only way you can speak to someone is by selecting the option that is for applications that have passed the 6 months standard. Even when you do speak to someone they can't tell you anything about individual cases but they will tell you what month's applications they are currently processing.

Good luck with your application!

Hi all,

This forum has been quite useful in putting my mind at ease as to why my application was taking so long to process. My friend applied several years ago and it took 6 weeks, so I was quite stressed as to why mine was taking months. Your posts have helped me be more patient and a tiny bit less worried!

Sadly I had to cancel plans to go home for Christmas due to rising ticket prices over the 4 months, but the risk of booking flights without documents to save some £££ was too high.

I received my letter and documents today (BRP to follow) 134 days after receipt of my documents was signed for. My time line is as follows;

10th July 2015 - Posted application
13th July 2015 - sited Royal Mail confirmation of receipt
14th or 15th July - Received postal letter confirming receipt
16th July - Email from Home Office confirming receipt
17th July - Received Biometrics request and also submitted my biometrics on the same afternoon
17th August - 1st "Under consideration," email received
15th September - 2nd "Under consideration," email received
15th October - 3rd "Under consideration," email received
17th November - 4th "Under consideration," email received

24th November - Confirmation letter and return of documents including passports.

Earlier today I tried to check the Royal Mail Special Delivery Tracker. The site was temporarily down. Unbeknownst to me, it was already on its way to my door!

I applied using SET 0 Forms, after 5 years under an Ancestry visa, with no dependants. My application went to the Durham office, but my Biometrics were sent to Liverpool. I am fully employed and I believe it was a straight forward application, so I hope this puts some applicant's minds at ease that there is currently a rather long processing time. (19 weeks for mine)

Hope this helps! Hang in there!
