10 years long residence applications

[getgreen]

did you ask, is it with case worker ?

Hi Since, thanks for reply, yes I asked 'if my application is now with the case working' the lady replied, 'yes it is, because I can now see that it is now under consideration'.

thanks.

Guys , its been a while we don't have any approvals.

I rung home office this morning and I am told that my application is now 'under consideration', I called on Monday and they said my application was waiting in the queue 'to be considered'. Does anyone have any idea how long will it now take from 'under consideration' to be 'completed' status.

Please Please need some advice,

Me and my wife applied for tier 1 entrepreneur visa and got refused on 23rd may 2013. We applied for judicial review and home office agreed to reconsider. Meanwhile I have completed 10 years long residency and applied for Ilr and flr(M) for my wife. I got my settlement and she got refused. The reason saying that she has overstayed. when I check Judicial review docs, they mention only my name in every letters. Therefore my question is " Can she be overstayed since her name is not on the Judicial review? Please help.

Dear,
My wife if in UK for the last approx 1 year now (as my Dependent under Tier 1 General, expiring on 15-Dec-2015), So my query is if I go for ILR (under 10 year long route) during end of July-2015 (as in AUG-2015 I am completing 10 year in UK), can she also submit her passport together with my application for Dependent visa (under my 10 year route ILR application), even though her current visa as mentioned above expiring on 15-Dec-2015.
I want to submit her passport as well during Jul this year with my 10 year route ILR application, so we both get passport back together. Is it possible or does she need to wait until my ILR decision comes back OR close to her current visa application?


- If she can go with above option (what Visa category/Form she will be applying for), what income threshold & savings I need to show and also does she need English Test or not at this stage?

Many Thanks in advance.

Ali

Hi,

Your wife can not apply with you at this moment unless her visa is expiring. Since her visa will remain valid untill december, so the best option would be to sort out your ilr fist. Once that is done, you need to apply her on flr (m) form in order to get a 30 months visa where you have to earn £18600 minimum as well as she needs to complete the B1 level english. Hope that answer your queries.

Hi ALL,

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.

MeganKit,

we asked HO to hold her application and did get the confirmation in Dec, i guess, about it. so Once i will get my approval i will write a letter to HO to process her Application.

Mashallah Thats great news.I have almost similar case as yours.I have requested home office to hold application for my wife FLRM.I have received her acknowledgment letter but i am wondering when i will receive her biometric letter.Have you got your wife biometric letter from home office before your case was decided.
Thanks and congratulations[/quote]


Its almost the same with me, I applied for ILR on 23 jan20 15 , and asked home office to hold my wifes application until they decide my application first, I have received her acknowledgment letter and soon after they sent her another letter (16 feb )asking her to show evidence that her partner (me, ilr application pending)has ILR .we sent home office my acknowledgment letter and the proof of my biometric invitation(done on 13 feb ), and we didt hear anything from them after that. my lawyer said its normal, we asked home office to hold her application until they decide my application(ILR) first now its up to home office when they will send her biometrics enrolment invitation .
can you please share your time line?

many thanks

Agents are selling Edexcel in guise of Pearson


Is you Pearson test record only online ?

Pearson PTE dosent give paper result,
We have to provide Refrence where HO can check results directly

Hi Smir,

I am not an agent, I am going to be applicant soon.

I found the Pearson not an Edexcel.

i have done Pearson Esol Entry level 3 using the list.

I am trying to be confident on the test i did before i submit my application.

Thanks

Thanks for letting know

It is now removed

Was unable to find Ed Excel too...



Wats the reason then Home office publish the list ????



My friend if you are the agent who provide test then the question is why home office provide list of approved list providers ?????



If you are applicant then why to risk application when when home office clearly states the test and relevant awarding body ???


Wasnt EMDQ on UKVI list before ???

Check for UKVI approved English tests


te="Since"]will you be able to shed some light on this.

Home office requirements : Prove your knowledge of English for citizenship and settling https://www.gov.uk/english-language

According to home office an ESOL qualification at Entry 3 or higher (eg Level 1 or 2) on the Ofqual register taken in England, Wales or Northern Ireland

and this is one of the Pearson page on Ofqual http://register.ofqual.gov.uk/Qualifica ... 601_4382_4

Thanks

Edexcel is not in the list


careful with liar agents


As edexcel is part of Pearson they fool by saying it's Pearson but Pearson test should be PTE which is online test with online record of marks

Hi All,

Does Edexcel B1 (ESOL Entry level 3 Speaking and Listning) any good for ILR English Requirements.

Thanks

Check the UKVI and work out accordingly


I think trinity should be ok for b1 as a1 too is accepted
But not edexcel
But not ed
