interviews on 9th september 2015.
i used once in 2012 to extend student visa.

What about other VISAS, have you used ?
If not why not you've used ?
It depends what HO thinks of what you've used?
until than you need to prepare questions/answers regarding what you've used?

Why don't you apply after your five years time..? Don't you love your EEA partner anymore..?
I guess you are eligible..

Hi, can someone see my case

hope someone can help me

My application was rejected because of a gap.
My solicitor appealed against the decision and now my hearing is on 12th oct 2015. ( total 11 years)

I came UK on 11th oct 2004 on student visa. I extended my visas without any trouble but in 2009 i had a problem.

My student visa was expiring on 2nd of june 2009 but i applied renewal on 9th june 2009(7 days late), got refused that visa and i had no right of appeal. Then I applied PSW in Sept 2009 and got it in nov 2009.

Last year i applied 10 year long residence and refused HO says you have a gap of 174 days.

My wife is doing phD in university and her course will end in 2018 and is on student visa.

so guys what are the chances of my appeal and on which ground my barrister should go in court.

Regards

Or does she have to wait for her husband to be granted ILR first,

Many Thanks :)

Hi Batley12,
There is no technicality in this case as your friend himself has an individual case and his wife completing 10 years as a dependent has her own independent case therefore both can apply individually on SET LR Form.
I had the same scenerio as me and my wife got our ILR issued couple of days back. We both applied on the same day at PEO Croydon with half an hour gap in appointment time but HO dealt our case separately and it was allocated to different case workers. Therefore, both individuals completing their 10 years long residence will be considered as an Individuals so they should apply separately on SET (LR) form. I hope my answer to your query has cleared the ambiguity.

Thanks Munna 007
