Hello Guys,
Need an information. Please provided me expert advise.
There is any time limit for making an application of PBS
dependent to switch on FLR (M), once main applicant gets it ILR (LR).
Thanks
Regards
M Faisal

what documents did you send and how many months/weeks spend over your application processing.

Just spoke to my solicitor's receptionist( as my solicitor is away on a holiday) . She said I have received a package from HO. Upon my request to open the package, she said there is a general letter (dated 19th June) saying "Your application for ILR in the UK has been approved. You will be sent a BRP as a confirmation for your ILR in the UK" .Just wanna confirm if I take that as an approval? My solicitor is back at his office 2mrw and I would be going down to see him to collect my package & hopefully my BRP.
Thanks all
Great news. Many congratulations.

Do you have the 02-06-14 version of the set(lr) form?
I m in same situation as you are, I rang HO today and they said there is a transitional period during with both old and new
version of the form is acceptable. I have a suggestion and would welcome any comments. I think we should fill in the 02-06-14 version of the form and send it along with a covering letter, as our applications have not been forwarded to the case worker yet and must be waiting in some queue, so mention it in the covering letter that they replace this application with the one we posted in June. What do you think ?
Regards,
@ Pak-Asif ,
Brov thanks for your concern as we are on same boat so this discussion will surely help us lot ..
I was also thinking same as you said let's fill the new version of form but brother after taking advise for some fellow members I think that new form may create more complex problem as you know fees and bio metric are already processed so on new form what will you write on applied date and I understand that covering letter will explain all things but on the other hand there are some other issues of dates on the form and so many others ...in short new form will create a lot of problem ... They may deal it like withdraw of an application and in that case fees will not be refunded ....
As you called HO and they says that the transitional period is allowed .. Some one said on above post that 21 days are allowed so hopefully it will be okay ...
And I really didn't downloaded the 06/2014 version and didn't have to soft or hard copy of it and they uploaded July version now 07/2014 .... So seems okay and it's not much difference b.w those two forms , you can still compare with 04/2014 ( I have a soft copy of this version ) it's only asking about an email twice ... I don't know why they asked it twice in new form as previous version also has the same question ..
This is my view , any how if you or any one else come up with any please share here
Thanks
Remember us in your prayers ,
Hi @ Shahkakaram,
In light of the advice from other members I have also decided to stick with the 04-14 version of the form which we have already sent to HO and pray to ALLAH Taala that things go according to plan, ameen.
Regards,
Asif

Hi @ Choice22,
From HO website,

You can leave the UK during the continuous residence for up to:

Please help,
back in 2010 my tier 4 was first returned as invalid due to wrong version of form,sent it again and then i got refusal on maintenance funds with no right of appeal,application was returned as invalid after taking payment and as well biometrics and after five months.ukba handled my case badly.then my solicitor wrote to them and realized them about their mistakes.then they granted me tier 4 visa and the letter they sent was written that we have reversed our decision.all i want to ask that when the ukba reverse or overturn their decisions do they treat application as continuation with the first application or will they still count you as an overstayer.
thanks
