10 years long residence applications

[ajek01]

Hi guys

I applied for my 10 years ILR on 13/09/2014.

I live in a shared house and we do not have a TV licence. Last week we have been visited by an enforcement officer, the guy took each one of ours name and visited our rooms separately.

One of my flat mates who had a TV and he found them watching TV and he immediately gave him a caution and said they may be prosecuted.

He did not tell me anything as I do not have a TV in my room but still took my name.

Just wondering, whether in any way this might create a problem while my ILR decision is still under consideration?

It is a usual tactic of TV license officer to convince person to get a TV license as they usually get commission on that. Since it has nothing to do with you it will not impact you in any way.

Thanks Arsal385

Waited 28 minutes to be told my application hasn't been decided yet....!
I've been waiting since May, 6 months now... mind you, all the lateness is due to the English test I submitted.... My patience is at its limits

Hey buddy... the silver lining in your case is that you will now be able to apply for naturalisation on or after 5th Aug next year... chin up now!!

I'm not sure how is this a Silver Lining, and I won't know when I'll be able to apply for naturalisation until I'll get my ILR, but it's definitely going after 5th August as we're in November and no answer yet

Dear All Brothers and Sisters ,

Thank you .

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!

For all those who are phoning HO, it is important to note that the service has improved significantly since the govt decided to get rid of the notorious UKBA (read: waste of time and money) and brought it under direct control of HO

the change in attitude, better customer service and improved processing times are worthy of appreciation

PS: 2 years ago LR applications took on average 6-7 months under UKBA

No doubt fielddrive, you are 100% right. Things have really improved since it was rebranded from UKBA to HO but I still think the waiting times for long residency applications are just unbelievable especially when your immigration history and visa are straightforward. They have all your visa details on their system, they can confirm all security checks on applicants within 5 working days so why are they still taking 4-5 months to make decisions on long residence application. I just wonder!

Hello all,
Pls I need an urgent advice regarding application for 10 years long residence.
This is my story:
Arrived in the UK on the 12th of September 2004 with student visa valid until 31/01/08
Applied for an extension (Limited Leave to Remain as a student) and got another visa Valid from 20/02/2008 to 30/11/2010. In time application.
Applied for post study work visa (Tier 1) visa valid from 10/01/2011 to 10/01/2013.In time application.
Applied for EEA Family permit visa valid from 30/04/2012 to 30/04/2017.

Ive lived in the Uk now for 10 years and 2months. But now I want to apply for indefinite leave based on my 10 years leaving here legally but I ve a valid EEA Family Permit which is going to expire in 2017.
My question is if I apply for 10 years Long residence now, will my EEA family permit be cancelled or revoked because I still have about 3 years left on it. (My EEA wife is currently and has been exercising her treaty right).

Your urgent advice will be appreciated.

Hello fabby,
Just to let you know that your EEA family permit will be null once you apply for ILR on 10 years basis when it's approved by HO but it will remain valid during the processing time of your ILR.

Hi Spatacus,
Are you sure about the rule with EEA permit being declared null/void once you have ILR? EEA permit is not a visa rather a right based on you being a family member of a EEA national. I know people who have both and are able to travel on either.

Can you confirm where it says about the EEA being nulled on basis on ILR?

Hello to be honest I am not sure about EEA FAMILY permit status after getting your ILR but I just assumed in my own opinion that it will null since the applicant has been given ILR. But again the EEA family visa is normally valid for 5yrs so if it's not declared null after getting ILR then eventually it will expire at the end of the five years period.
Hope this is clear enough.
Other forum members who have idea of experience of EEA family permit may be required to comment on this. However I think this is discussion should be taken to EEA section of the forum as this is where people with experience of EEA will input effectively.

Hi,

My children and me are on a student dependent visa. My husband got his indefinite leave in July 2013. He has applied for his nationality in August 2014 and waiting for the approval.

My dependent visa expires on the 30th Nov 2014. We would have completed 10 years of lawful residence on the the 28th of Dec 2014. What is the best date I can apply for an LR. (LR for my 2 children and myself.)

Please reply.

Not sure but if your 2 children were born in the UK then you can get them registered as a British National since your husband already acquired his ILR last year.

[apex221]

Congratulation to those who received it! I guess there still a little hope that September applications may start to come through in December (can’t blame me for hoping!! )

P.S. Please continue the speculation about when the applications will be decided if nothing it does make this wait more bearable


Happy mid week you all!
