10 years long residence applications

[Saeedrehman]

Hi All,

I applied on 22th sep and somebody on tracker has marked me as approved, whereas as much I liked the sound of it, unfortunately i hvnt received my decision yet. I am under 'saeedrehman' on tracker.

Neither has my wife who applied on 29th Aug and HO received her application on 1st Sep 2014 but no decision or further communication yet.

Can somebody plz update the tracker for me as no decision yet.

Thanks.

Hi guys. I spent almost 4 months watching this forum every single day, hoping that someone would get approval each day, so that my waiting period would come to an end soon. And I know there are people in the same position as I was, so I felt this strange responsibility to come here and share my happiness with you guys

I got my approval yesterday (received documents) and BRP is on its way, should be with me in next 7 days or so.

My timeline:

@Imraniqbal Mate are you okay to update this on the tracker. I am still having issues editing the tracker..

Good luck to you all.

Hey everyone how are you all? thanks for all the information, you guys doing a great job..
I am looking to get some information about FLRO, I entered in UK on 10th Sep 2005 on a student visa and since than I am studying as a student and working part time, My visa is expiring on 28th March 2015. In order to get ILR i need to live 10 years in UK and my 10 years time will be by 14th Aug 2015.

So basically i need at lest 5 months more visa in order to be eligible for 10 year rule ILR. and i can spend 5 months more time in uk by applying FLRo application, it will buy me some time and make me eligible for 10 year rule.

So i need your help to apply for FLRO and get me 5 months more visa or time till 14 Aug 2015
at the moment i am on student visa studying MBA which finishes in March 2015.
Is there anyone or lawyer (East London) who can get me 5 months more visa or time till aug 2015 ?

as far as i know there is law coming that student can not switch to any visa from UK . they have to go back and apply again.
if the law comes in april then i m not sure it will effect to your ILR application as well. i suggest not to apply as a student if the above law is coming in april.

Hi mate I don't think home office impose this rule I red some news from daily mail they going to scrap that plan so I am sure this rule not going to come in near future it's better option for you to make FLR(o) it's Normaly take 4-5 month time for processing but make sure if you don't have valid leave to remain you can't apply before 28 days you need to cross the 10 years then you can varry your application to SET(LR).wait for senior members advise as well .

Thanks for your advice, really appreciated... is there any lawyer in london or anyone you would recommend to apply FLRO for me ?

[mazeen1910]

Hi guys.

If you have sent return envelop to HO ..you can check royal mail for any status change ....

If you have NOT sent HO will send it via 2nd class post it takes 2 to 4 working days ...

when you call HO you can ask them the tracking number if they sent it via post

Most of the times you will find a big difference in approval days ...don't get worried if u date is 5th and some one who applied on 25th gets approval ....its just that some officers Sit on applications for long time and some clear faster ....but rest assured expect approvals once u hit 12 weeks and all straight forward applications will be decided with in 16 weeks ( looking at number of applications in Oct Nov and Dec 2014...


Good luck
guys

Hey Maddy,

Thanks for the info. I have a straight forward case and I haven't had anything yet. I applied on the 7 th of October and it's over 16 weeks. Is it time to worry?

[Desi Pakora]

Dear Friends,

I need professional advise please.

My previous visa was granted on the basis of Tier 2 General and my wife was dependent of it i.e. Tier 2 general dependent visa. That visa was valid until March 2017.

I have now received my ILR on 10th January 2015 on the basis of 10 year route and therefore i need to change my wife dependent category through FLR(M) application.

I have following questions:

Is there any time limit in which i shall apply for my wife visa? keep in mind her previous visa is still valid until 2017.

Is 28 days rule apply on her i.e. she need to submit FLR (M) application within 28 days of my ILR?

She need to do English test, and she may get result in March. Is it a good idea to submit her application to home office now while stating on the cover letter that english language certificate will be provided later. This is just to keep us on the safe side of 28 days rule.

Please advise urgently .

thanks

Regards
Desi Pakora

Brother Saf84


Can you please throw some light on your case

As me too finish 10 yeAr and appeal pending in court

It's urgent please.

I have applied for ILR on long residence and FLR(M) for my wife.. my case is in tribunal , i have 3 years old baby which i didn't include in application as when i made application in 2013 she didn't had her passport. And i thought once i get my ILR then i can directly apply BC for baby.
My question are
1)Do i need to show income before tax 18600 or 22400?

2) if My current year income is less then 18600 does it got any effect on my case? As when i submitted application i have submitted tax returns on 18600 which is the requirement .

3)is there any way i can get my ILR released from home office before decision on my wife case as UTT judge has removed objection on my case and send my wife case back to FTT to mention detail findings.

Plzz help...

i thought that you should manage 22400 just for safe side as home office know the presence of your baby they can automatically include your baby in FLR (M) application of your wife.

you should maintain 18600 throughout your application it can effect to your wife application.
