10 years long residence applications

[Fabby]

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.

Th

I would hv been exactly 10 yrs by next ek however I applied within the 28day period (9 yrs, 11 months 14 days)

28 days time is normally given to those who have valid leave to remain beyond their 10 years completion date. It will not be applied on those who are awaiting for their appeal decision. I am sorry to say that there is a risk on your SET LR application that HO will make this an issue as an early application and may reject your SET LR application.

Thank you for your advice. Pls I need more input and advise pls..help

I would hv been exactly 10 yrs by next week however I applied within the 28day period (I had completed 9 yrs, 11 months 14 days)

[Arsal385]

I applied on 25.10.14, payment taken on 27.10.14, acknowledgement typed on 28.10.14, received on 3.11.14.
However I have received the decision of our UT appeal today which was decided on 31.10.14 upholding the HO's refusal decision on our FLR O application.
Is there anything I should be doing? Should I inform the HO? Does it affect my application? I cant afford d solicitors fees again so I really need any imput/advise please

Have you completed your full 10 years prior to posting your SET LR application?

@maddysheffield,

The salary requirement is £18600 you need to provide six month payslip and bank statement to show that the money has been deposited to your account by your Employer or your wife (it can be a household income) if you have been employed for less thank 6 month that you will have to provide the details for the last year.

As far as I know it is not a requirement to show a balance within a certain date on your account but logically I would think if you are earning the above amount it might be helpful to show some Balance

But the earning is a Must they will check your pay slip against the amount deposited in the account so certify the requirement for your spouse.

Hello,
I completely agree with apex221.There is no stipulated amount for you to prove maintenance requirement but you must meet the financial requirements and of course English Language requirement as well before you can submit your FLRM

[arsenal49]

Dear all,

Is it possible to apply for the long residence if all you have are the passports and bio card as supporting documents?


Any help appreciated!

you need Life in the uk test certificate - if you are applying for settlement

you dont need it if you are applying for extension only

Thank you Arsal for your reply! Yes I'm aware about the two tests that needs to be taken along with the application form and the payment. I just wasn't sure if I need to submit other supporting documents along with it.

Dear all,

Any help appreciated!

You all passports and bio cards are mandatory in order to proof of your 10 yrs lawful residency with the exception of lost and stolen of your passport. In that case other supporting documents are required as an alternative evidence of residency.

However, For ILR it is also mandatory to have Life in the UK and English language requirement ready plus application form, photos and payment.
For the answer of your question. If you submit passport and bio card and cannot submit your Life in the UK and English language requirement then you cannot get ILR, instead you will get two years of leave only.

Just a question I had ccj which I declared in my application and I am paying it monthly. Will this affect my citizenship application when I apply next year. If yes what is the solution . Please advise . Thanks

Congrats! This means the information I was given about them currently dealing with July applications is wrong!

@Littlemaiden ... I saw a FOI request and could see that a case worker will decide 5-8 applications in a Day and if a case worker has done all the applications for july they would go for Aug applications and some july applications will be still looked into by other case workers ( I hope you get it )

Now the person who gave info will look at a Spreadsheet where all the applications are logged can see July applications still under process so they told you they are still with july applications ... infact some of the case workers are deciding Aug applications too

Thanks for clarifying that.

[fielddrive]

I did exactly the same thing earlier (checking RM website). But looking at timelines and also the amount of applicant in August, i think we should be expecting the decision in 2-3 weeks time hopefully .

Yes, I think 2-3 weeks from now we should hear from the HO but no harm in keeping a tab on the return envelope reference!

Awesome thanks for sharing.

As far as citizenship is concerned, it will be determined by whether the conviction will be spent according to the rehab law and good character guide by the time you apply for naturalisation.

Hello congratulations to you. I don't think ccj will affect your naturalisation as long as you are paying it bit by bit. You will not have any issues at all.

[12years]

@12years did you send a prepaid envelope with your application?

@fielddrive Yes i did, did you ?

awesome.. yes I enclosed one too.. checked the reference today but nothing on RM website.

I was secretly hoping it would spring up 'on its way' or something similar...

I did exactly the same thing earlier (checking RM website). But looking at timelines and also the amount of applicant in August, i think we should be expecting the decision in 2-3 weeks time hopefully .

[littlemaiden]

I called just now and was told they are currently dealing with July applications and my case is waiting to be allocated to a caseworking team. I was kind of disappointed as I applied on 11 August.
But my Biometric Invitation Letter got lost in the post so that delayed things by 3 weeks. I wonder if that has affected my case processing time.
