brother Khan


Wasn't it possible that judge tell HO
To consider the additional and issue ILR ?


Because according to law you have to not apply seperate lu

HO is bound to give you ILR

What was judge response when you said additional grounds and HO said you can apply ILR ?

mistakhan wrote:@ZEE ALI
as my personal experience what i think you should go to hearing and not withdraw your appeal
Because if you do withdraw the appeal there is a chance of not getting RIGHT OF APPEAL if anything goes wrong in ILR
there is a bright chance of Home office to withdraw the appeal if you go with additional documents which are required for ILR life in uk test english language certificate ielts or your degree etc
what i did is i went with additional documents but didn't submitted before hearing just took them along me on hearing so the home office was not prepared for it
thats how they withdrew the appeal
when home office withdraws the appeal meaning the original application made for visa which was refused by home office is again PENDING FOR NEW DECIOSION .
i dont have no family kids etc
hope that helps


so this is safer way

I am in same situation mate. My hearing is soon and completing 10 years before that. What should i do ?

Go for hearing and do the same ?

or send them additional grounds to add in appeal that i completed 10 years?

Where was your hearing? Court?

Is your 3c still intact? I mean if God forbid anything wrong happen with ILR application? Would u get appeal right ?

Is your work right still exist after applying ILR?

Do u have family kids? if yes what happen to their appeal?

Your information is very help for me

as you can find out from the spread sheet it has been 17 week since i applied, did biometric the next available day,
we have not heard from them.

every time i call same answer 'PLEASE CONTINUE TO WAIT'.

anyone has any idea how long do i need to suffer like this. the wait is a killer.

Bad news for me today as my visa is rejected because of the gap. My student visa was expiring on 2nd of june 2009 but i applied renewal on 9th june 2009, got refused that visa and i had no right of appeal. then i applied PSW in Sept 2009 and got it in nov 2009.

now HO says you have a gap of 174 days. but i have right to appeal.

Please can any senior member tell me what to do and what are my chances now. i came uk in oct 2004. my wife also came here last year on phd student visa(valid till 2018) and no kids.

Good luck for all who applied

I am very happy to say that my ilr application has been approved and i also received my brp card.

i just wanted to get help from others regarding my wife's visa status and her future applications.

my ilr application based 10 year rule just got accepted last week 16th feb 2015, however my wife came to UK in November 2014 as a tier 1 general dependent. she has a valid visa till august 2016.

what do i have to do now in order to extend her visa -

1. shall i wait till her visa finishes and then apply as ilr dependent? if so, do i need to prove income £18500 or so ?

2. OR the best option is to apply for ilr (long residence) dependent as soon as possible? do i need to use FLR (M) for that application?

3. how long does she need to wait in order to apply for ILR and are there any other requirements?

Massive thanks to all the members , this site really helps someone in tough times.

Regards
Hi there,

You need to apply for your wife flr(m) visa as soon as possible ideally within 28 days. otherewise, she may be deemed as an overstayer. She will be given 30 months visa and wait for 5 years for ilr and her earlier stay will be nulled from the day of her aproval of flr (m). She also needs to meet the income threshhold £18600 as well as needs to pass the required english test. Hope that will answer your queries.
Many thanks for your response.

this info is very scary.. HO is literally making money machine.

anyways, are you sure about 28 days timescale? will she be classified as an overstayed person? also, what about IELTS from british council as an alternate to other english test? can we use that result for english language?

Hi,
I just wanted to share and ask few questions about after getting ILR

10 year ILR application Time Line##
Application submission# 18/11/2014
Biometrics submission# 06/12/2014
Approval Letter and document received# 24/02/2015

Thanks for all your help. Now few questions plzzzzz
1. Now is my son who was born in UK, is he eligible for UK citizenship directly? which form is applicable to him?
2. My wife who has been in UK since Nov 2009 as PBS (PSW and then Tier-1 Gen) dependant , should she apply for another visa? currently her visa is until Feb 2017?
3. Does she need to pass Life in UK test to apply for spouse (ILR dependant) visa? does she need to apply ASAP or we could wait for couple of months?
4. and I think whatever is applicable to my wife, will be for my daughter as well, she was born in Pakistan and is here since Nov 2009.
5. My daughter is a special needs child so am I eligible to apply for any benefits?

Please help me answering these questions. Your help will be really appreciated. And if I am missing something that I need to ask or know then please do tell me. thanks a lot. and Goodluck to all other applicant.
This is a very valuable forum. thanks
Bilal
