10 years long residence applications

[maddysheffield]

Guys its seems to be a norm or say that way I look at it ..

There were more decesions made on 9th/ 10th/11th Jan Friday-Saturday-Sunday ....and that was the reason why tuesday-wed- Thursday filled with approvals ......

No matter which day approve its always a pleasure people getting their approvals ...

Good Luck guys.

[quote="Ramos"]Hi Guys

I have been here before. I have applied for Ilr long residence four months before my time completes after waiting for 16 months for tier 1 application. I varied my application. My 10 years are completed few days ago. I am very nervous about the outcome of it.

Will they consider date of decision or date of application. I have no breaks in previous visas plus went out side the country for 60 days.

I have applied through lawyer and he told me once u complete 10 years then it doesn't matter if it four months early. You are covered by 3c and safe.

Kindly respond.

Is there any chance Government can change 10 years long residency rule before the end of 2015?

@talkhome,they could make it difficult but i do not think they could change it as this is not the government but the european law.

[shahfurqan]

many many congratulations to all those fellows who have received their approval by the grace of Almighty today and especially for TSL who shared a very positive piece of information with us.Almighty bless all of you and keep us remember in your prays.

[peace84]

You could have sent them a reply that your daughter is a British born and once you get your ILR you will register her as a British citizen. May be this is one of their strategy to include your daughter as part of your dependant and thus increase your financial requirements. As a safe side you should have your financial requirements ready including your daughter's financial threshold as you never know they will ask financial documents later.

To be honest that's the reason I didn't apply my wife FLR M application whilst my SET LR application was pending. It is because it can unnecessarily delay your case.[/quote]


Thanks very much. I am going to send them a reply. As even they put financial requirements (including daughter with my wife ; ) which will be from 18,600 to £22,400 then I still meet this requirements easily. Is there any other requirement they can impose?

Yes you should respond to them as you never know may be your case is pending your response. You should write a covering letter telling them your intention regarding your daughter case and also include your up to date bank statements/ payslips to make them aware that you are also fulfilling the financial requirement for your daughter as well.
Good luck

You applied few days after me so hopefully you will hear a good news soon.
As you also applied your wife FLR application so may be they are dealing both applications concurrently, but your wife approval will follow shortly after your approval.[/quote]


Thanks this gives a bit of relief. You know you mentioned that they are dealing with both applications concurrently. Will this add any delay to it? The reason I am asking because they recently sent me a letter mentioning putting my wife' s application on hold until I get ILR and asked my little daughter's future immigration planning and I have not sent a reply yet. Will this lead to delay to my application process because of that OR it will have no effect. Any idea. Thanks[/quote]

Government can make this rule difficult but cannot completely scrap out this rule until they are out from EU zone which is at moment less likely to be happened at least for the next 2 years.

[jay_p2013]

Hello Everyone,

I've been a silent reader of this forum. By the grace of god I received my ILR today Alhamdulillah. I know how difficult it is to be patient and wait for it. Knowing a fellow applicant had received their approval gave me strength to be patient and I hope it does the same to everyone else here.

Here's my timeline and good luck to all the other applicants.

Name on Google Drive : SL_A
Date Applied : 10th September 2014
Acknowledgement Letter : 24th September 2014
Bio Letter : 03rd October 2014
Bio Enrolled : 03rd October 2014
Approval : 10th January 2015
Docs and BRP Received: 14th January 2015

Could someone please update my details on the google drive.

Once again good luck to the rest of the applicants. You'll hopefully receive yours soon.

Hi fellow senior members
i have A question on behalf of a friend of mine. He is going to apply for ilr on the basis of 10 years in first week of Feb. HE also need to apply for her wife s visa as his dependent and ask home office to hold her application. his wife is on student visa and he himself is her dependent. let me give you their visa history first...
He came to uk in jan 2005 on student visa. got married in 2007 at home country and his wife came to uk on student visa in 2008. so he himself switch his visa to her wife s dependent. now he is going to complete his 10 years in feb.
He has soon a famous solicitor in London who asked him to pay £850 + vat per application means £1700 + vat. i stop him to paying solicitor. now please i have request to all members to comment and let me know what application form should he use to apply for her wife. i thing it is FLR (M). PLEASE GIVE YOUR OPINION. THANKS IN ADVANCE

If there is no gap in your friend's visa history and its a straight forward case for him and he can do it by himself without taking any solicitor's help.
All he needs.
All passport he has got since his first entry in the UK including any BRP card.
Life in the UK test result
Proof of English language competency by providing UK degree or approved B1 level test.
Latest SET LR application and £1093 fee
Two passport size photos with his name written on its back.
Photocopies of all the supporting documents.

Is your friend's wife visa is running out then she can apply for visa extension through FLR M application and request HO to hold her case until your friend's SET LR application sorted.
But bear in mind if his wife gets visa under FLR M application then she will need to spend further 5 years in the UK in order to get her ILR and all of her previous stay in the UK will be null and void.
However, she can apply on the basis of 10 years route after 3 years since she arrived in the UK in 2008.

thank you arsal 385. for very informative comments
