Help guidance needed to let me select the best option for my ILR..


I have finished my 10 Year long residence if we calculate 28 days early..

My appeal for flr FP application refusal is in court with hearing date in February....

What is good option for me please guide me..


1. Just add additional grounds and attend appeal and request judge for 10 year ilr ?

or

2. Apply ILR now without withdrawing appeal... so this application gets void and connected to my appeal, and then attend the hearing in February?

please suggest me best option..

with me my wife is also dependent...

Wow that was quick! Thank you so much to however fixed so promptly.

I think the only way to stop it would be to limit access to moderators or just a few senior members. Hard to recommend but people don't seem to be able to understand simple instructions.

@ its annoying when someone messes it up guys please be assured some moderators have the data saved and can manage ... But advise to all ACT LIKE ADULTS ;-)

@Rhyme2k we need to give access to everyone to have a look and also I have noticed many applicants updating time line ( as in my previous post I mentioned they usually update Tracker and not leave a single message on forum .... so it needs to be accessible for everyone

I've been a silent reader on this forum since August and found it really helpful - thanks.
By God's grace I've received my approval letter today.

My details are:

Application sent: 21 August 2014
Acknow received: 29 August
Bio received: 20 September
Bio enrolled: 20 September
Approval date: 24 November
Documents received: 26 November
BRP: waiting

10 years = 6yrs student + 2yrs PSW + 2yrs Tier 2

I believe it was a straightforward case (no gap, no appeal, no CCJ).
Thanks once again and God richly bless all members who dedicate their time to help others on this forum and good luck to everyone still waiting.

Cheers.

Congratulations AxleK.

Did you write any covering letter with your application ?

@vinny's link should clear any confusion around the earliest date you can apply for SET(LR)

Hi Dear,

If I submit my medical reports from my home country as well as history of NHS record and operation I had here I think there should not be any problem with that. I was in Pakistan for 10 months because of my health and was not fit to come back. If anyone know any exceptional circumstances law in 10 years long residency please share the link here I just want to confirm it for my peace of mind.

Thanks for your support and help.

Hope all are ok and doing fine. I need some information about ILR application on 10 year basis. I am completely legal in UK from last 10 years. I can apply for the ILR from December 2014 on-wards but I have a issue which is I went back to my home country for holidays for 2 months. Unfortunately I had an accident there and I could not able to come back to UK within in 6 month period. I stayed there for 9 months but I had visa when I was leaving from UK and came back on the same visa. Now this is my genuine problem I am confused now how can I apply for the ILR as these medical circumstance were not in my control. Can I still apply for the ILR now or not? Is there any flexibility or clause in law about special medical circumstances.

Please everyone help me in this your help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks.
That's not a problem. If you send your application along with the documentary evidence of your long stay in your home country on the basis of medical ground then HO will accept this as a compassionate/ compelling circumstances.
Agree with @Arsal385. A friend of mine got stuck in India due to mother's illness for over 9 months and he was granted ILR after presenting documentary evidence.

Hello TheJuryMustDie,
Probably they were carrying out maintenance when you tried to access it. I have experienced it before. I guess it's not amajor issue.Though recently I noticed that when you post a comment and click submit it doesn't take you back to the forum link anymore unless you refresh the page. Hence some people are posting same comments couple of timea or even more in some instance. But I can live with that buddy. It doesn't cost me anything to refresh my page after posting a comment. Enjoy.
Thanks for that Spatacus! It's reassuring to know I haven't been blacklisted for something untowards.

Will try again at home tonight.

Happy waiting buddy! :)

Correct apex221. I don't think the moderators know about it. I might just send them a private message hopefully it will be resolved as usual.
