Hi, I have a question may be you guys could help me out.
I came in uk in 2009 on a student visa now recently I have applied for Non EEA family permit. So If I receive this permit I can stay 5 more years. That means around after 4 and hallf year I will be eligible for ILR. What If i get divorced before that and still continue to live for 4 and half year without applying for ROR? Will I be still eligible for applying ILR on my own? Please advice me. Thanks

4 1/2 years is a long time and i don't think any advise given to you now will be relevant then.

what about according to current rules says?

Hi Everyone ,

Just to clarify my application was under the FLR(FP) through a solicitor and been waiting for almost 5 months now since my application timeline as follows:

Application sent: 7/09/2014
Acknowledgement received: 15/09/2014
Biometric letter received: 29/09/2014 Date 26/09/2014
Biometric recorded: 3/10/2014
Approval date: Not yet received
Docs received: Not yet received
BRP: Not yet received

Does anyone know the waiting time on these types of applications?

Hello Guys

******dates got wrong in my last post******

im here looking some expert advice, i will be qualifying for ILR on bases of long residency on 02-04-2015 (exactly 28 days before i arrived in uk ) however there are bank holidays on 03-04-2015(Friday) and 06-04-2015 (Monday) hence my application will not be received at HO until 07-04-2015 ,the earliest.

As we are probably aware the HO increase visa fee from 06 April every year(this year they increase it from 1093 to 1500 pounds however no specific date is set in this regard so for).

Now question is "will my application fall under new fee or HO will consider my application under previous fee?"
or
"shall i delay my application till new visa fee enforced as well as new version of application come out?"

Thanks for anticipating

Fees is deducted on the basis of date of posting your application i.e if you send on 02/04 fees will be based on structure applicable on that day...not the day when they recieve. Postal mark on envelope by royal mail on sent mail determines the date.

When meeting the financial requirement will I have to add my two children who will be eligible for MN1 only after my ILR is confirmed as they born in uk.
Pleaseeeeeee answer before I get it wrong

No. You do not need to include uk born children in financial requirement. It is only for your wife in your case. You can directly apply for registeration MN1 for kids after ILR.

Thanks for reply
As I will have to show these 2 children in section 4.4
and they will be subject to immigration control until my ilr is given. So should I mention them in covering letter as I easily meet financial requirement

If you look back on some post in this forum, HO will automatically add those children to your list of dependent, hence increasing the amount of money you will have to show,so if your earnings cover them then that is fine and yes mention that.

Fill form flrm and pay the full cost, then draft a letter telling HO about the pending application and tell them that you want to vary it to the new one. They should return your flrfp money, but you can tell them as well in the letter to remind them.

Hi, I have a query on my friend"s behalf. He is married for 6+ yrs
He will finish his 10yrs in UK in July 2016, ( student+psw+dependent+teir2)
His wife will also finish 10 yr in 2016 in June. (Student+psw+teir2+dependent)
My question is can his wife apply ilr on 5 yrs basis (adding 3ys of teir2 and 2yrs of dependent on husband who in turn is on Teir2)

Or they don't have choice but to go via long term residency route?
Any info will be appreciated.
