Pls pls guys give me some advice.I am in big trouble,very very worried.I will highly appreciate for your help and advice:

I am in very difficultly position.I was a student,living in UK with my wife and 2 year old son.My visa was refused on human right ground.My appeal's hearing in First Tier Tribunal was on June 2014. 5 month before the hearing date on last January 2014, I changed my solicitor and present solicitor informed Home Office and tribunal about the changes and he represent me in the hearing.I did not knew the decision until I phoned Tribunal on 2nd week of August 2014 ,they told me Tribunal dismissed my appeal on first week of July 2014 and I was also shocked when they said they sent determination letter to my previous solicitor's address.
After many correspondences with Tribunal,Tribunal re-issued decision letter on first week of December 2014.

Then we sent permission to appeal for Upper tribunal to First Tier tribunal within 14 days.Now they are saying they haven't received my permission to appeal for Upper tribunal.but my solicitor said he have proof,he have the receipt from fax machine that he sent the permission to appeal.now he is contracting with First Tier Tribunal.

First week of august 2015,I will qualify to apply ILR on 10 years ground.I am very much worried that Home Office could say I have the gap in continuous residency during appeal process.Because I have 2 issue during appeal process .First issue:according to home office I did not appeal in time,they don't know tribunal sent my determination letter to my old solicitor's address.To rectify those issue what is the procedure to let Home Office know that I changed my solicitor before hearing and present solicitor informed Home Office and tribunal about the changes and he represent me in the hearing(my solicitor have those evidences) and 2nd issue: my solicitor sent the permission to appeal in time and he have proof,he have the receipt from fax machine as evidence.Before applying for ILR I have to sort out those confusion with Home Office.Pls experts tell me how can I over come from this situation ?
I will highly appreciate for your help and advice

Hi guys,
My husband will be applying for Flrm fp under the 10 year route of parent of a British child. I would like some advice on this pls.
Myself and my son are British. I work part time and on maternity leave.
My husband first entered the UK illegally in 2004 and was send back to Iraq in 2009. Me and my Family went to Iraq and We got married there. He returned to the uk illegally after application refused by entry clearance and we got married in the UK in 2011.
My husband doesn't have any criminal convictions.
After many attempts and applications the home office refused our applications but believed that v r in a genuine relationship.
V now have a baby this year , v r living together with my family and going to be applying for flrm fp.
My question is because my husband entered uk illegally will the application be refused?
Also what r the supporting evidence I shud include in the application?
Has any1 been in a similar situation?

We are planning to use the same day service as advised in your reply, the issue is my husband is a student and works just 20hrs, so if I use the FLR (M).... I will not qualify because of the financial requirements from my husband because he doesn't earn the required amount the HO requested.
Tell your husband to use premium service so he will receive ILR in 1 week time. Than only u apply flr fp.

I believe your kids born in uk. Register them as BC using MN1 form.

In flr fp mention about your kids and than they r waiting for their BC registration. Chances for u to get visa is 50 50 but u have a bright chance in appeal to get the visa. By that time your kids will get British passport so u can win the appeal easily.

I guess in that case you might need to apply under FLR(FP) form. But I will advice take some legal advice as well.

Your husband need to fill Set (LR)
And you need to fill FLR (M) and a covering letter to hold your application until your husband get decision.
Another advice your husband can also apply for ILR on the same day service and then you can also apply for your FLR(M) over the premium service.
Hope this helps

The problem is I have been his dependant for the past 8 Years since we got married and we have 3 children, and our visa had always expires the same day/month.
The current visa will expires just 2 weeks after my husband clock 10 years....
Please what form should I fill for extension of my visa as my husband dependant?

Hi - This is really a good forum and I always wish and pray for all members for their success.
My case history as below:
2005 to 2009 work permit
2009 to 2011 student
2011 to 2013 post study visa
2013 to 2014 tier-2 visa
2014 to 2018 tier-4 visa
10 years going to complete in Oct 2015
My wife and kids
2006 to 2018 - dependant visa based on my visa (all time we applied all together)
10 years going to complete in May 2016
Please can you suggest us a practical and sound route for our ilr. My questions
when should I apply ilr (considering my wife and kids visa)?
when my wife and kids should apply dependant visa? Can they remain on current tier-4 dependant visa until May 2016, after my ilr application?
When they should apply their ilr? is it May 2016 or they can apply earlier if come under some transition arrangement (if any) being here since 2006.
Should I change my T-4 visa to T-2 visa before applying ilr if tier-2 visa is helpful to get ilr?
I will really appreciate your suggestions. We all a bit worried as we are coming near to ilr date,
Thanks in advance
