Beware under new rules, HO is no longer counting student dependent status towards the settlement. Your are still lucky that your wife has got FLR M visa based on 2 years route. You should have changed your wife status last year when you got your ILR. I have a feeling HO may not count your wife student dependant time for ILR. Also because of ambiguity of your spouse case and as I said above you need to consult to a qualified lawyer about this first and do not let you wife fall into 5 years category route.

Thanks for quick reply. Will her qualifying period be counted from the day I got my ILR in April,2013. or the day she got her visa (FLRM) stamped a month ago based on 2 years route to settlement.
She came to UK first time as a work permit dependent in July,2009 and then changed her visa to student dependent in July,2009. She applied for FLRM in April, 2013 and her visa was refused and finally got her visa a month ago.

Technically under new rule your wife qualifying period starts when dependent of a settled person visa granted to her under FLR M application. As is said you should carefully consider this and speak to a solicitor who may have better option for your wife case. Also read carefully the approval letter of her FLR M visa.

Do you have any reference to a document where it says that the previous stay as student dependent will be counted as a qualifying period towards settlement.

Hi
I got my ILR in April,2013 on long residency.
My wife is living with me in the UK since 2009 as a work permit dependent and student dependent recently till 2013. I applied for her extention under FLR M and she got her visa a month ago under two years route to settlement.

My question is can she apply for ILR now? Will her previous time be counted towards qualifying time for settlement?
She was out of the UK from April,2012 to Feb,2013.

Thanks in advance.

Looks like your wife falls under old category as she got her visa on 2 years basis. she can apply for ILR straightaway. However, her stay outside the UK is fairly long, you should therefore ask a qualified lawyer whether she is eligible to apply now or wait till Feb 2015 when she will complete her 2 years period.

I think HO accepted your application based on the fact that your application posted on the same day as HO changed the new version. HO usually check the validity of the application and then charge and issue acknowledgement letter. Since you have already received your letter then it should be fine. You can confirm this to HO on their enquiry number 03001232241.

Hi Everyone
Can some one tell me what I can do now except waiting for reply from home office. I have applied to ILR on long residency basis on 4 April 2014. I got letter for bio-metric in 3 weeks time. I got letter from Home office after 6 month that I have to wait more for my ILR. It's now more than 8 months and still waiting for my reply. I also send them a letter one month ago. Every day I checked post and everyday I am disappointed. My wife is pregnant and she is also feeling the pressure now. Can any one give my advice please?

You should approach them through your MP and let them know the health issue that your wife is currently facing. For example you could tell them that your pregnant wife is in anxiety state which is impacting negatively on your wife and your potential baby.

I had a solicitor for my hearings but did not use the solicitor for my ilr application hence ....

Then I would have to agree with arsal385's suggesstion seems very reasonable.

[october2013]

I had a solicitor for my hearings but did not use the solicitor for my ilr application hence ....

[apex221]

Sorry to ask again but should dt include informing them about the UT decision?

If you have gone through all this surely you have Solicitor in place? if so what is their opinion on the matter?

[Arsal385]

Sorry to ask again but should dt include informing them about the UT decision?

Although they should aware of that but I think its up to you and there is no harm in telling them. You can also state that whilst awaiting for the outcome of your decision (3c leave) you have completed your 10 yrs legally and hence applied for your ILR on xxx date.

[october2013]

[Arsal385]

Hi, do I need 2 inform the HO that my circumstances have changed? Cos I made my application whilst on 3c (waiting for the decision of the UT) which came back denied.
I did not appeal dt decision as d HO had already acknowledged n taken payment wen I recieved d UT decision. + d UT made d decision after my application.
2. I recently found out I have a ccj on file which I wasn't aware of at d time I made my application. Do I need 2 inform d HO of this cos I ticked no to d ccj's question

Can Sum1 pls, me pls

An extract from SET LR form declaration section is
"If there is a material change in my circumstances or any new information relevant to this application becomes available before it is decided, I will inform the Home Office"
I would suggest you to inform HO regarding this in a good faith and give reference to the above statement. HO expects you to being honest with them in your application. This will help your case otherwise If HO comes to know this information on their own, this might create any detrimental effect on your case outcome.
There are examples where people declared these things in their application and got their approval without any issue... so honesty is the best policy.

[october2013]

Thank you maddysheffield. At d time of my ilr application, the UT had not even made their decision nor was I aware of a ccj on my acct (ccj's from a mobile).
So I don't know whether to write and inform them of d upper tribunal's decision although I would assume they would hv bn informed by the courts after d decision was made.
Any1 wt experience/expert advise would really help.
I called d HO and I was told my case has already bn allocated 2 a case worker in Liverpool. .
