ks373 · Post by **ks373** » Tue Aug 18, 2015 5:43 pm

Hi I am going to apply my visa on 10 year long residency base. I'm legally lived in Uk during my 10 year. I just want to ask couple of questions about my ILR application. I came to uk first as a student visa in 12th September 2005. I am on student visa till april 2010 after that I am on Psw visa till 2012.

1. In 2011 I was applied my visa under Tier 1 general and wait too long to get my visa. In December 2012 I got refusal letter from home office they give me a appeal. I appealed against their decision in January 2013 and at end I won my appeal in end of April. Finally I got my tier 1 visa in January 2014. I want to ask you about the period between 2011 and 2013 still counted as legal stay in the uk and this period effecting my ILR application or not
2. I am on under tier 1 general visa but did not work with the same company and didn't get enough salary which is I mentioned in my tier 1 application
before.Is that make any issue with my ILR application?
3. What documents I need to attached with my ILR application?

Thanks for your help in advance.

1. Yes, No.
2. Are you saying that you now earn less than what you were earning when you applied for Tier 1 (General) extension? If so, it is no relevant - you are applying under LR.
3. Read SET(LR) form and guidance notes.

1. Covered by Section 3C leave.
2. Where did I say you will or will not be asked for tax documents? I said that what you were earning at the time of Tier 1 (General) extension has no effect on your settlement application under LR.
3. Same answer as before.

Yes, you can apply at a PEO/PSC.

Your passport will have entry/exit stamps, which would be enough.

Hi Respected Members

Could someone please post a format of cover letter and absence letter for LR 10 yearse base.

Thanks for your help in advance

There is no requirement to submit a cover letter. The application form asks for all the relevant details you need to provide.

sushildelhi · Post by **sushildelhi** » Sat Aug 22, 2015 5:18 pm

I also think, no need for a cover letter if you do not have any issue which need an explation. In my previous visa, I never submited cover letter however previous visa was not for ilr.

There is no IHS for settlement application.

Check if you need to pay towards your healthcare in the UK wrote:You don’t need to continue if you’re applying for a visitor visa, or indefinite leave to remain (ILR).

Have you made an effort to read the Long Residence guidance, or SET(LR) form or SET(LR) form guidance?
Does any of these mention that applicant is required to submit "explanation of absences from UK"?

Hi sushdmehta thanks again for your reply I read it all, but they want to know the reason?

Providing a reason and providing explanation of a reason are two different things!!
What does the form ask for? Only reason.

Q1 - no, you don't fill it in because you have already paid. Make sure you take your proof of payment email with you.

Q2 - Use an extra sheet of paper if there is not enough space.

Q3 - Just write the reason. You have already been advised that reasonable absences do not require an explanation.

Q4 - Only you will know the answers to the questions. It is not a trick question, just answer them truthfully. The questions are self-explanatory. For example, what family or other ties do you have back home, what is your current nationality, where were you born.

Q5 - Not sure if needed.

Q6 - No, not relevant as you have a UK degree. If you have not done an English B1 test then you don't have the detail to complete 3.3, -3.6.

Q7 - List B you could list your UK degree certificate that you submit.
