10 years long residence applications

[Universal soldier]

Yes it looks like they reached to August applicants while dealing the applications submitted in last week of July. And according to the dates on approval letters which members share indicate that now they work on Saturdays too. So August applicants should start tracking their return envelope as anytime they will catch the good news. And someone should always backup the google timeline drive which works like radar. All the best.

Looks like August applications have now started. Someone called RR has got approval today on google drive.
Goodluck to all August applicants.

Hi everyone,

Alhamdulillah. We got our approval of ILR

Our time line is
Applied on: 11/07/2014
Approval date: 21/10/2014
Docs received: 23/10/2014

Briefly our case is that we are on section 3C & 3D as visa extension was refused and appeal right was given but UKBA withdraw appeal one day before court hearing. While waiting for the decision we vary our existing application to ILR as we completed 10 years.

Good Luck for everyone waiting for their approvals.

. Good news enjoy your freedom .

Congrats on all who have received their approval, just a quick question? my decision has been sent back but it still with royal mail - redelivery in progress as I did not receive a calling card, I also received a calling card from thedx - which I know is used for biometric, - I am hoping it an approval?

Hi rashenikki,

I believe approval is sent using DX as well since I clearly remember Shajee mentioning it previosuly. So I hope it's good news for you and many many congratulations, enjoy the good days ahead:)

I have read on the forum that once your visa is changed to FM as a result of your partner getting ILR, your past time here reset back to zero for another five years.

I totally disagree with this, your clock continues and you can still apply for ILR through the 10 years lawful residence or through the five years route whichever comes first.

I think it will be ridiculous to think the clock will start again, HO is not stupid, the 10 years law says, you must have been here legally for 10 years irrespective of the visa which also includes the time you are here as a visitor.

I think it is just people's assumption, you don't have to stay on till you finish your 5 years FM visa before you apply for ILR if you have clocked the 10 years before then.

Hi priscaltony,

I think you got wrong impressions by reading the posts. You are absolutely right in that the 10 years LR clock doesn't reset as long as it's continuous and legal and I'm pretty sure no-one's mentioned that in the forum that it does! You may have taken the information out of context when reading previous posts. What the members were discussing is specifically regarding the Spouse visa and they are absolutely right that the any leave as PBS dependent will not be counted and clock resets to zero as soon as you switch to FLR(M) category as dependent of ILR holder on the basis of long residency. So in conclusion, clock resets for the ILR route as a spouse of ILR holder or citizen but not if you are planning to apply on the basis of long residency. Hope all the confusion is gone now. Btw I cannot guarantee that the Tories won't win the next general election, UK will still be in EU and EU Human Rights Convention will still be applicable in whatever years time of your interest thus 10 years ILR may or may not be available then! Good luck.

Aslamoalikom to all

Dear shahjee here is my history
10 years student
Applied 8 march. Set lr
Approved 2 july

For wife

Wife came as student dependent in aug 2007
Applied 4 april flrm
Approved 17 july 2 years till 16 july 2016

Question
1. When my wife can apply ILR
2. What about financial requirement

If you say any time she can apply for ILR than how can I convince Home office about 287 a-i-d.
Is there any solid documentry evidence?

walaikumasalm,
brother your wife is eligible for settlement .however there is some error by home office and they refuse all tier 4 dependant cases. i hope you are aware of it. I am in the same boat as yours . i recently sent a complaint to home office saying that incorrect information is provided to me by UKVI cusomter services. i have got UKVI letter saying THAT I CAN COMBINE MY LEAVE AS TIER 4 DEPENDANT AND APPLY FOR ilr A I APPLIED MY FLRM BEFORE 6TH APRIL . I have got my peo appointment on 1st nov .iwill take that letter with me . i can forward you that letter if you send me your email my situation is exactly like yours. my suggestions to you write a similar complaint like me so that you have written proof of eligibility otherwise the case worker will not treat yuor case (there are examples like this in past from this forum)

Hello,

Would you kindly send me copy of that letter on following email.

kumarvinode@gmail.com

Many Thanks.

[rosazeet]

please can somebody PM the wording of letter to HO to put my application on hold until my husband ILR application decision. i m applying FLR(fp).
thanks

Has someone requested how many SET LR applications for the month July 2014 till date now. I have googled and find this information. I guess you can approach HO to find out number of applications. And someone in the forum earlier pasted this information but i could not find.

Already requested below from July through September and awaiting HO response.

Thanks alot buddy

hi guys, want to share some good news with you.
I did apply ILR (LR) on 11th July 2014, got my approval today on 23rd of October 2014.
a quick brief about my case. I was on section 3c 3d for the past few months as my last extension for Tier 1 general was refused. I still have pending appeal. My application took an interesting turn as I was preparing myself for appeal hearing on 24th of october but just a day before it, got approval letter.
Unlike other people suggesting withdrawal of appeal, I did't withdraw my appeal but instead applied long residence soon after completion of my tenth year.

my time line is.
applied: 11th july 2014
acknowledgement letter received: 14th july 2014
biometrics done on: 13th August 2014
Approval letter received on: 23rd October 2014

congrats @gulll

[gulll]
