10 years long residence applications

[UK007]

All,
We do see a major change in how long it takes the Home Office to process the ILR (10yrs) applications. Appreciably, each application is unique and the straight forward applications are processed quickly and it takes longer for complicated cases.

However, what we are seeing in recent time is that most of the applicants got thier decision in less than 8 weeks, even shorter time in some cases. But the question I have is, is this normal that HO takes less time to process in Jan/Feb/March time? or this is a reflection of HO has become very efficient in processing the ILR applications?

Can someone answer my question please. Thanks.

I think it might be because of General Election 2015, lets see what HO does after the election...

Thanks Zee ali,
I have no problem with the 22400. Though I am not sure why u asked that.
I was reading the homeoffice website and am a bit confused on which form I should submit FLR (M) or FLR (FP)?

Any help on this is apriciated.

Dear Members/Moderators,

I've applied for my ILR (SET(LR)) application a few weeks ago and waiting a decision.
As I understand I will need to apply to change my dependants visa from Tier2 Dep to FLR(FP).
My question is can I apply by post for the FLR(FP) before a decision is made (and before 6th of April). I can then send a copy of my biometric when I receive it. This is to avoid the increase in fees and the new £200/year NHS fees. I have two dependants, so the cost will mount.
My application is pretty straight forward, Student(6Y), PSW(2Y), then Tier 2(2Y) and from the looks of it people are receiving approvals pretty quickly.

Also please add my timeline to the spread sheet:

Yes

And write a cover letter along with flr fp application to put it on hold until they decide your set lr applications.

If u r on tier 2 previously cant u fullfill the 22400 pound financial requirement ?

Do I need a marriage certificate for MN1?????
I lost it

Congrats

is your case straight forward?

Just for A Laugh

did u send any envelop full of money for caseworker with your application?

My case was straight forward but it was well presented in my opinion. I created a folder and indexed all documents. I also scanned all stamps and all absences I. E entry and exit stamps were zoomed in and on one page
But my efforts were tiny and prayers were massive

[Hamzaakbar]

@Hamzaakbar

If you withdraw appeal you are overstayer

Still you can make fresh ILR application in 28 days

But in case may Allah not and HO become naughty and refuse you then no right if appeal

So be careful

Best is soon after 1 April inform Tribunal and HO appeal officer that you finished 10 years and will maintain that you qualify for ILR

May be that HO withdraw appeal or judge in court tell HO to reconsider the case

Hi all
I m very new on this forum . Need help plzzz

Thanks WYL. That's very useful. I'm applying in August 2015 and my case is straight forward too - 5years student visa+2years PSW+3years Tier 2 GEN. I hope they can process my application in quick time as well... fingers crossed:)

Hi WYL,

Congratulations! The whole thing took less than 6weeks -that's very impressive from HO. I presume your application is striaght forward. It would be helpful if you can share the summary of your immigration history. Thanks.

Thanks Jesus, I received my BRP card today. And thank you all guys who share helpful information here. Please see my time line below:
