[fielddrive]

12.5% of August applications have been decided in in 23% of November

who wants to see 100% of August applications decided in 100% of November (aka end of Nov)



I know I got too much time

Set lr google drive timeline acts as radar for applicants, so keep it secured and backed up 24/7. Processing speed has been improved since past and according to drive they normal process 2 months backward lodged applications. Some caseworkers may not christian and maybe continue to work without celebrating christmas . I think Shahjee may have resigned/on holidays from board voluntary duty

Bro even though they might not be christians EVERYONE like holidays and Lazy days

HO has recruited many temporary staff who are given a target to complete they do the main paper work and then a Case worker decides and I would say this is the main reason for Applications decided at faster pace then normal . and being a part of public sector I know that we stop working from Dec14- Jan7 and no file moves lets see what happens to the applications Hope all the applications are decided before that date

Brookstreet is the recruitment agency which recruits .

We are sooo selfish ..we always want good for us and never think about others ..but here we always want others to get first ...its nice

Many thanks,

Hello Ima,
Thank you for your timeline.First and foremost you need to meet the financial (£18,600) and english requirements for your wife. The financial requirements includes 6-months bank statements and 6-months payslips. You wife must pass the english exam. Since your wife does not live in the UK at the moment am afraid she cannot use form FLRM, but i think she can use form VAF4A and please fill out Appendix-2 as directed in the application form. Please follow the link below;

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... /VAF4A.pdf

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... endix2.pdf

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... lement.pdf

You should complete Appendix 2 if you wish to come to the UK as:
• The spouse or civil partner of someone settled in the UK; or
• The child of a parent who is applying for entry clearance as a partner or the child who is applying to join their parent who is already in the UK and has been granted limited leave as partner granted under the Immigration Rules in force on 09 July 2012; or
• The fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner of someone settled in the UK; or
• The unmarried or same sex partner of someone settled in the UK; or
• The Post Flight family member (spouse or civil partner, unmarried or same-sex partner, fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner, or child) of someone with limited leave to enter or remain in the UK as a refugee or is the beneficiary of humanitarian protection.

Hope this helps Other experienced members please give your advise to Ima. Thanks[/quote]

Dear Spatacus,

Thank you for your quick response, much appreciated. Unfortunately, I don't fulfill the first criteria of earning £18,600 per year however, the firm I am currently working with will offer me a new contract beginning from 5th of January which will hopefully see me meeting the financial requirement of £18,600. Till date I have been earning less than £18,600 and that too on a contractual basis and not permanent.

Once my new contract is set up, hopefully I will have 6 months of payslip and bank statements showing funds by 1st week of July. I shall also be able to arrange contract letter from employer and accommodation letter from the landlord.

Which English test should she take, IELTs, Toefl amd what's the minimum band required?
Do I have to attach her Educational documents as well?
Do you know what's the average time scale for such applications thesedays?

My understanding was that I would be the only one filling out the form and submitting the application from UK but little confused about her being required to fill out form too from back home. Are we supposed to submit separate applications from within UK and from back home? Please advise.

I'm really grateful for your time and responses.

Many thanks,

Ima[/quote]

Hello Ima,
you will have to submit your wife's application from your home country since she doesn't live in the UK. You will include your marriage certificate as well as the English language requirements check the links I sent you on documents required for the application you will find the English language requirements and the type/band required.
You only need to submit ONE application only and this is to be submitted in the country your wife is currently residing.[/quote]


Dear Spatacus,

Thank you for further clearing my doubts. I have created a checklist of the documents for myself and my wife. Please confirm if I'm missing anything

My Documents:

- Appendix 2 (VAF 4A) Financial Requirement Form
- 6 Months Payslip - showing I earn £18,600 per annum
- 6 Months Bank Statements
- Employers Letter - is it mandatory?
- Letter from Landlord confirming there is enough space to accommodate?
- Marriage Certificate
- Wedding Pictures

My Wife Documents:

- Personal Details Form (VAF 4A) Family Settlement Application Form
- All her Passports
- Two Passport size pictures
- English Test Certificate - CEFR A1 level 1 or equivalent
- TB Test Report
- Degree Certificate - is it mandatory?

Both forms are to be submitted together back home? You have already been very helpful and generous enough to answer all my queries in a timely fashion. Brother! I thank you for all your assistance, May God reward you for your good deeds, Ameen

Kind Regards,

Ima[/quote]

Hello Ima,
Everything is looking good. I think your check list is very good. You are good to go. Yes everything on your check list is to be submitted back home.Well done and good luck. Let us know how you get on.[/quote]

Dear Brother Spatacus,

You have been a great helping hand and your suggestions have considerably calmed me down, May Allah bless you with loads of happiness, Ameen. I will keep you posted with my progress and my prayers and good wishes are with you for your application.

Once again, Thanks a million brother. *virtual hugs*

Hi all Veterans
I am shortly applying for my ILR and request your expertise opinion about my wife's application. My wife has been in the UK since 15 Dec 2006 and currently on Tier 1 entrepreneur Dependant Visa expiring on 14/10/2016. What's the best route for her to achieve the settlement? After I got my indefinite stamped, shall I get her visa switched to a category that may lead to early but safe settlement?
As she already got visa until 14/10/2016 and run short by 2 months to qualify for settlement under 10 years. Could you please help me with an advice as how we can bridge that tiny gap? Bear in mind I along my children have had secured British citizenship by then.
I appreciate all inputs.

Kind Regards

amakhtar

Hello amakhtar,
The best way to bridge the gap of 2 months is for you to apply for your wife using form FLR(M) once you receive approval from HO for your ILR, then vary your wife's application from FLR (M) to SET (LR).As I believe HO will still be in the process of considering her FLR ( M ) when she will complete her 10years in the UK.

Dear All Brothers and Sisters ,
Assalamualaikum ,
What is general outcome of people who applied ILR with previous immigration recoed of TOEIC ??????
If someone discuss with some recent results that would be much appreciated .

Thank you .
Freeman

I think one of the person was invited for face to face interview. I don't know the outcome of that but usually if you satisfy them during the interview. they usually accept the application.

That would be me!

I have done TOEIC in 2012 varied my application in august haven't received a letter like freeman did let's see what happens it's an on going investigation and no idea when it will all be over with. Hope for the best in sha Allah it will be good news for us
