10 years long residence applications

[Spatacus]

I really need help from you guys.

After getting ilr on 10 years basis I have question regarding financial requirement section of FLR(M) application form for my wife(within Uk).

I am a Director (employee) and shareholder in my Ltd company, so I am not self-employed in the view of HMRC. The company is the trading entity and I simply draw a salary and profit share by way of dividend.

From Annex_FM_1_7_Financial_Requirement document I can see I am falling under category F (but not self-employed since I am employed by my company). I can only use category F to show £18600 for last full financial year as with other categories my salary will not meet the requirement.

Now while filling form I am confused which section I need to fill ? Section 7.3 B say that you can write information about Category F but all questions are asked about self-employment.

Any suggestions on this?

Hi educators,
i have read through the form and i can see how confusing it is as per the appropriate option to chose from. However i will advise you to is that if you draw salary from your own company it means you are an employee of your company in other words, you are salary earner from your own company. So you are classed as an employee. so you will need to show how much you have earned from your own company by wage slips and personal account where this salary has been paid.
Secondly, if you are still taking dividends from your companys profit as a shareholder, then you need to proof this to HO by submitting your companys HMRC documents and evidence from The Companies House that you are shareholder in your own company.
If i were you i will just use my payslips from your own company and your own personal bank statement to proof £18,600 for your wife's earnings to avoid complication and to avoid stress. or better still if your wife is working you might as well combine both of your income to make up for the £18,600.
Bear in mind if you decide to use DIVIDENDS from your company you might want to use an accountant to do all the paper work for you before you submit your wife's FLR(M) application form.

Other members of forum your views and opinion are very highly welcome. This is my own view and advise. Hope it helps.

Good evening my able members, i need your urgent help, i came to UK on Jun 2005 on student visa then changed to PSW until JUN 2013 since then I have been on 3c and 3d and presently i need to go for JUDICIAL REVIEW based on FLR(FP) based on 7year rule/private life which was refused recently without right of appeal. We are planning to go for judicial review. We applied as a couple ,two of my children who were born abroad have lIved continuously in UK for more than 7 years as at the time the FLR(FP)application was submitted. MY WIFE HAS LIVED CONTINUOUSLY IN UK FOR 8 YEARS
My main query are:
1 CAN I INCLUDED THE PERIOD OF JUDICIAL REVIEW TO MY 10 YEAR LEGAL STAY IN UK?
2 DO I STILL HAVE RIGHT TO WORK DURING JUDICIAL REVIEW PROCESS?
3 IF THE ANSWER TO QUESTION 2 IS NO, CAN ANYTHING BE DONE TO MAKE IT YES,POSSIBLY THROUGH COURT RULING/DECISION
4 WHAT CAN BE DONE IN FUTURE WHILE JUDICIAL REVIEW PROCESS IS GOING ON TO POSSIBLY APPLY FOR ANOTHER VISA FOR 10 YEAR LONG RESIDENCE VISA?
5 WHAT CAN BE DONE DURING JUDICIAL REVIEW PROCESS TO POSSIBLY APPLY FOR ANOTHER VISA FOR MY DEPENDANTS?

many thanks,your urgent reply will be highly appreciated

Hello JOHFR2014,
to answer your questions;
1) yes you can include the period of JR to your 10 years legal stay in the UK, this is covered by 3c ....if you have been given right of appeal
2) i don't think you still have right to work in the UK since you have not been given right of appeal, according to your statement above.
3) yes this can be done through court decision.
4) you can apply SET(LR) since you have completed your 10 years stay, though this is tricky because if you have not been given right of appeal then you are not covered by 3c. however it all depends on prayers and the caseworker dealing with your SET(LR)
5) all your dependants visa is based on the main applicants application results, so i highly recommend option 4 of my answer above.

Any forum member who have/had similar issue should comment on this. This is just my own opinion i am not a legal adviser or a solicitor.You might also want to seek advice from an experienced solicitor.

Arsal385 chill mate you can't resist checking atleast once in a day anyways ... But if you want to you can try not checking for a week good luck .... I tried its an addiction mate

Anyways as I said before things will fall in to place when they are supposed to ....Too much info available is also an issue otherwise you would wait for 6 months now that we know some got decisions in 13 weeks they tend to raise our expectations sad but true its 6 months customer charter expect the decision in 6 months and not 13-14 weeks its 26 weeks

Everyone accept this its 26 weeks and not 13-14 weeks ........it will be easy to wait ....

All the best guys

@maddysheffield easier said than done. hahahaha

Thanks fo sharing and adding me to the spreadsheet!

Question: I done my biometrics at a post office but received no confirmation letter whether they received it or not. I am paranoid the IT system has behaved funnily or something, how can I check whether the home office actually received the biometrics? Thanks

@Flying moon . Home office will not send any confirmation ( The post office would give you a receipt and thats all ... The Biometric system is direct connection so as soon as you do your Bio they are recorded by Home office database .

If you are thinking Post office send's info by clicking send no they wont you gave the finger prints directly to HO .


You can very well check calling Home office if you want to no issues make sure tell them that when you were at PO their systems were down and hence you wanted to confirm or somethin like that because not many people call asking if HO received Biometric ...I hope you get it

Don't worry everything will go well and happy waiting

maddyseffield is 100% right. There is no way Post Office will give you confirmation if your biometric registration is gone through or not, however as advised you might want to call HO and check this if you very concerned.

Morning everyone,


Seems everyone is becoming Babaji to get babaji ki booti ....Guys sorry to disappoint you .. I was talking about Hindi Language booti not English one ..hahahhahahha anyways sad that no approval's yesterday but always a hope it will turn out better today

HO is being sluggish in approving applications and off course xmas holidays are imminent so we shouldn't be that optimistic. My application date is 10th of Sept but now I am thinking to stay away from the tracker for a week at least.

@MaddySheffield, sorry but I have a feeling your outcome will be in early next year due to huge backlog of August and early September applications which are still outstanding.

[baba JJ]

That will be amazing but I am not counting on it!! As long as the August applications are cleared I will be content

[quote="flyingmoon"]Hi everyone,

I stumbled on this site while looking for info on waiting time of ILR. I'm really glad everyone's sharing helpful tips and advise while applying/waiting for their application. Here's my details:

Date of application: 03-11-14

Date of bio-metrics letter received: 21-11-14
Date bio-metrics completed: 24-11-14
Date of decision: Waiting
Date of BRP card: Waiting

Do you have a data bank where all these info from everyone is stored? Can you share this with me please? It would be really helpful to see on average how long everyone is waiting and what is the most recent application the HO has completed.

Thanks a lot[/
