the day u leave and enter donot count towards absence from UK.

Only entire days spent outside the UK count as absences. For example a migrant leaving the UK on Monday and returning on Wednesday would only have been absent from the UK for one day.

I am talking about your 2nd flr fp application even if it is within the 28 days time its still count out of time. U dont have any visa when u put 2nd flr fp application? if yes than any other application even in 28 days after 1st application refusal its count out of time.

Is there anyway to contact HO to request to have your passport on the PEO u booked appointment for ? [when you have your decision pending]

Congrats Hassan . Kindly share your timeline and history so other can benefit for this.

I think u r the one who was short of 5 months and flr fp refused without appeal right and than u put new flr fp in 28 days and vary it to set lr. U were also spend 9 days more than the actual time allowed outside uk 540 days. Am i right?
yes u r right i am the same guy.

Application FLR FP Varied to SET LR !0 year

Student Visa Expired = 28th March ( Needed 5 months to be eligible for ILR)
Applied FLR FP = 24th March
Got Rejected = 15th June (Needed 1.5 months to be eligible for ILR)
Applied Second FLR FP = 24th June ( to buy the time)
FLR FP Application Vary to SET LR on 13th Aug
SET LR Granted = 4th Sep
Documents Received = 5th Sep

I applied right 28 days before and went for the premium service, i didn't got the decision on the same day as i didn't had my passport with me, it was with the home office, i got the decision on 4th Sep right after 3 weeks.

Thanks again for all the help, this is the best forum, i can't trust any lawyer bcz my first FLR fp was rejected just bcz of my lawyer so i came to this forum and prepared my case with the help of this forum and special members like Zee Ali, Omor4real, Obie, Saadasif, tajammul77.

Thanks again everyone

Wish everyone Good Luck !!

Thanks,
Hassan
Great. Congrats Hassan. One confusion is over that we can also vary out of time application successfully even on premium service.

Hi Longresident85,
Please can you list out all your documents which you have submitted with your application. Have you attached tax related documents as well? And what additional document should we take with us for premium service appointment. Your own experience sharing would be very helpful
Thanks

Your son will also stay on flrm for next 5 years as well along with your husband as he born outside uk.
what will happen if saima79 did not apply for her son for FLRM and he will be in UK for the next 1-2 years. so after that she will be British SO HE WILL BE ABLE TO APPLAY FOR ASTEZENSHIP.
I AM RIGHT OR WORNG PLEASE CLARIFY?

Both parents should have British passports or applied for it than they can register foreign born child as British national.

I have been a reader of this blog for a while and once asked a question here about my ILR case. Many thanks for everyone here - a very helpful blog. Special thanks to Zee Ali and a few others who replied to the query.

My ILR have been approved at Cardiff PEO today - relief.

My Case was simple except I had a CCJ and IVA since 2010. I have been declaring this in all applications with a simple line stating what happened. No Questions asked.

The rest was straightforward Student + PSW + Student (10 Yrs).

Very polite staff at Cardiff PEO. Total time spent there was exactly 1.5hrs.

Alhamdulillah I am relieved now and pray everyone else hear good news.

Let me know if some wants to ask anything.

Kind regards
Congrats Longresident85.
