Salam Forum,
I sent my application SET (LR) HO today, but I didn't send prepaid Royal mail envelop and document photocopies. However, I got photocopies of all documents for my record. I am getting confused it's not been mentioned in application regarding (Royal mail envelop or photocopies).

Hi Guys
i have been here before

Application sent: 10 September 2014 ( Four Months early Application varying it from Tier 1 Entrepenure application which wasn't decided from Last 16 Months)

Acknowledgement recieved after week.
No Biometric plus they asked for proof of addresses and proof that wasn't out of country after submitting previous application Tier 1 Entrepenure. Which i provided them in December.

My ten Years are completed yesterday.

My question is will they consider it according to Date of Decision or Date of Application. I never had any break or refusal in all them ten years and was out of country for 60 days in all them years.

Regards

Ramos

There is no wonder when solicitor give wrong advice which has become now a common practice. You may only be escaped if the caseworker ignore it miraculously. Set (lr) does not ask for treaty rights but long residence guideline do indeed confirms that the caseworker usually exercise discretion to count that time legal if the EU national sponsor is exercising its treaty rights. A number of threads available where members discussed the same.

well its been confirmed over four months and you must be closer to get your approval but why dont your spare some time to ring HO and ask them whether your application has been assigned to a caseworker or if you have provided with your return envelope and you have not lost your tracking number then just keeping checking on royal mail website.

you do not need transcript as degree is more than enough plus do not forget to make photo copies of your all passport and send them along,photo copies means any visas,and stamps departure and arrival in brief and for your own record you could also make photo copy of your entire filled set lr application and keep it with your self and do not need to send photo copy of form to home office alongwith your application..

Hello all,

I have been issued a 10 year RP stamp in October 2014 on the basis that I am a family member of a EU National (my wife is Polish)

Over the December holidays my wife and I have decided to separate and she is going back to Poland. Does the end of our relationship have an affect on my residence status?

Any advise is greatly appreciated.

please i need an advise have been in the UK since Feb 2005 student + student dependent.

My wife and I visa expired on the 31st of August 2014 and I applied for flr(fp) (including my wife and daughter will be 7 this march) to buy the remaining time. The flr (fp) was refused in November and an appeal was given. we lodge an in time appeal and still waiting for the appeal date.

These are my worries, as we are using a solicitor she said she will withdraw my appeal and leave my wife appeal appending while I apply for ILR. My wife and I are saying that can't be possible since am the main applicant, once i withdraw my appeal my wife appeal will be withdraw as well.When we put that to her she was confused as well and she said she will put FLR (M) in for her.

Also my wife have been here since 2007 and her closest chance for ILR is 10 years, if she pull out her appeal will that not give her gap and if anything happen in the FLR(M) she will not have right of appeal, pls quote me if am wrong.

Also as work place are now very much on people neck do you think is advisable to withdraw our appeal to make new application or we should just stay where we are and provide further ground for our appeal.

Another thing that am thinking i should do is probably send in my ILR while our appeal is still pending and see what Home Office will do, either way am not losing but will let them link my appeal to me now completing 10 years. please your opinion are very much appreciated.
