Hi All;
On 06/04/2014 the drastic changes have been made in immigration rules for pre 9th July, 2012 PBS dependents, if the main applicant gains indefinite leave to remain based on 10 years of long residence.
According to new rules those dependants cannot combine any time spent as PBS dependent with FLR(M) to qualify for ILR and their qualifying time period of 5 years will start from the day they are granted an FLR(M).
Under the new rules you have to meet the minimum income threshold of £18600 as well or even more if you have non UK born children.
There are lot of people who are being affected adversely with this change in rules.
We are now about to challenge the rule. Please come forward and join hands together for common cause and join us on Facebook page.

I'm going to try to rebuild the spreadsheet from the last available data!

If your are not sure how to add information just tell the senior member and they will add your information on the spread sheet.. please don't mess with it. Thanks.. and a big congratulations to all the new approvals and those who are waiting stay optimistic..

FYI I already have my information on there, and have been following this thread for a very long time, as you may have noticed someone DELETED the data last night therefore the spreadsheet was empty, I have now pasted back all the columns from an older version so that people can carry on updating their details. So, 'Don't mess with it' ? I think you should be thanking me!!!

You can't apply ILR if your appeal is pending


You as soon as finish 10 year completely just sent a letter and photo copy of liuk test English language and passport photo copy showing entry exit claiming that you have finished 10 year and will maintain that I qualify for ILR on additional grounds


Send one copy to tribunal and one copy to HO officer who is looking at your case

Dear/madam
I am Samim' come uk 27.3.2005 & want apply 10 years rule for leave to remain.

Unfortunately ,my passport is pending at home office last 3years,when I applied spouse visa but some reason it's been refuse & I am going to court for hearing 17 of July 2015.
in that case 27 of March it will be 10 years for apply residence permit (ilr)
So shall I apply one month before or need to wait exact 10years time ?

I will be grateful if you give me exact idea about my (ilr) application & what to do.

King regards
S Ahammad.

Hi S Ahammad
You need to apply when you complete 10 years in your case. Best of luck

Looks like someone deleted it at 11 February, 21:57. The last update before that was 11 February, 20:40. I cant seem to recover the spreadsheet from this version, perhaps I don't have privileges.

can anyone see the google sheet now.. I tried to recover it..

This are my thoughts, others may have different opinion. Please liaise with senior members who may have better advice.

After 2012 ruling, it looks like that dependents of the ILR (Long residence) will have only one option, to complete 10 years, regardless of how long before your spouse was ur dependent. On the other hand if you wait for another year to get your ILR through TIER 1 , ur wife can get the ILR same time, but I will never encourage that for a number of reasons including the possibility that you get fined by the court for whatever reason or the homeoffice bring other criteria in 2016. so my advice to you is this, get yourself sorted and for your wife explore the following two options:

1. Can you wife stay with you outside the UK get her ILR .
2. Contact the people here on the forum who were talking about the appeal for 2012 ruling, get in touch with them and support them.

Good luck.

Hi get green
Thanks for your reply, I didn't understand the point is why court can charge me fine? Is that because I'm withdrawing my application? I applied 5 days ago.I appreciate if you please explain ?

I didn't understand your option 1 at all, if I stay with my wife outside UK then she will get ILR(not sure if understand correctly)? Appreciate if you please explain me on this as well!

Thanks

He is just talking about the unknown, like if you get fined for things like traffic offence or home office change rules.
also he is talking about if you are looking at option of your wife not in the UK, but can still be entitle to ILR which i don't think is possible.
However in regards to ur options you should know best, but also consider uncertainty e.g your job/earnings that your future ILR will depend on, UKVI etc.

Someone is just playing up. I hope we will be able to get it back. Probably need to give access to only few readers and they add dates and stuff on the list. And keep it blocked for editing. I am not sure if that will work on google drive though

[ratz]

Some idiot has deleted the spreadsheet!

I think if you logged into google drive using your google account credentials, it will shows all the iteration on right side of spreadsheet and you can select any iteration to restore it back.

I can not not see as I am not logged in google drive.

I though only adults are on this forum, but after seeing this I got to say, who ever deleted data from google drive, needs to grow up, its not funny at all.

[Since]

Its look like somebody is having a fun by deleting all data on google drive.

[Achilles.ali]

For some reason I can not see anything on google spread sheet, did someone delete all the data from there?

Hi,

I'm in similar situation. I'll apply for ILR (10yrs) in August 2015. My wife has been in the UK since Feb 2010. I know the fact that her clock will be set to zero when she get her FLR (M) (after I get my ILR). Alternatively, I can wait for another 2 years to apply as Tier 2 (5yrs). In that case, she'll get her ILR at the same time as me. But, I'm not going to go for the second option; simply because of the potential changes in the immigration rules. You never know what the Gov is up to. They bring some crazy new laws (such as the 5year wait for PBS dependents) to pretend they are tightening the grip on immigration; this is just an attempt to keep the opposition MPs quiet in the parliment.

Anyway, I think it is prudent to sort of your ILR at the earliest opportunity. This will make you feel (somewhat!) settled and give you peace of mind. Unless your wife needs to travel abroard regularly, waiting for another few years for her ILR is not going to harm the family in any other way, I suppose.

Hi Guys

I was thinking of pulling my application back(applied last week) and need an ADVISE if that is the right thing to do. I'm currently on Tier 1 general and applied ILR on 10 years Long Residence. Now what I read on Forum about PBS dependent, which states that there period will reset if they will move to FLR(m).

The reason why Im thinking of pulling my application back is my wife with me for about 3 years 8 months and by the time my wife's PBS leave will expire's she will had only 5 months left to complete 5 years. If she goes on to FLR(M) route once I got my ILR on LR basis which makes her period reset completely and she have to stay another 5 years

My current leave is expiring in Feb 2016
She entered in UK in July 2011 as an PBS dependent

I fullfill all the requirements of SET(o) ILR 5 years (Allhamdullilah). Not sure how the future would be but when I applied for 10 years i thought her current stay will also counts for her and plus as the future was uncertain I thought get it what is coming first.

Please advise what should i do...really baffled

Thanks
