Answer for Q1: From what I understand you can apply for FLR (FP) when your visa expires, by the time HO send you confirmation letter and Biometric letter, 17 days will pass. After 17 days you can apply for SET (LR) with a cover letter requesting to defer your FLR(FP) to SEL (LR).saady wrote:Hi guys,
Thankyou very much for your time. I will try to make it short and precise.
Date of entry clearance: 15/05/2005
date of entry in UK: 17/09/2005
Date when ILR is due: 17/09/2015 (able to apply 20/08/2015 as i can send my application 28 days prior to when my ILR is due)
Current visa status: was given tier 4 visa in september 2015 till january 2016 but because government wants to shut down every educational institute it touches. I have been given curtailment letter and my visa is restricted to 3rd august 2015 making me short of 17 days in order to apply for ILR.
Question: It also states on the letter that after 28 days from 3rd of august 2015, i will be considered over stayer > Am i right in thinking that i can utilize these 28 days to make up for the 17 days I require. Will it be a safe option?
1.Do i have any other options? I am cohabiting with EU partner, can it help me in any way, although i would rather avoid this route as much as possible.
2. Since i have been a student with no right of work, do i still need to show my financial records i.e bank statements etc.
Please guide!
Answer for Q2: For your SET(LR) only documents you need is "Life in the UK test certificate" & English Language certificate...
