10 years long residence applications

180 days in single visit


U are safe

Hi all,
Pls help clarify this. Length of total absences for the 10-yr period should not be more than 540days- agreed. My question is on the 180days allowance. Is it allowed to have total absences more than 180days in a year as long as each absence is not up to 180days? For example if i have travelled out of UK twice and each 105 days ( 210days that year).

And quoting from the Guidance Note; "

Tier 1 (General) applicants who are self-employed or in business must provide a letter of explanation of their business-related absences.

" Must I need to add documentary evidence to such letter of explanation?
pls help

Hi guys,
Can someone help on the following issue if someone had similar history or know similar case as I am going to apply for my long residence ilr:

- came to UK July 2005 on student visa
- during my leave to remain in UK as student, one of student visa extensions (2009) was rejected, given right to appeal, later appeal was rejected, appealed for reconsideration and later went to high court. While I was waiting for the outcome on my high court appeal I completed my degree. I withdrew my appeal from high court and sent an application for PSW and I was granted PSW. Later I switched to Tier2.

Could you please let me know if above issue of rejection would effect my long term residency? Just to add, I was given right to appeal on each occasion and did appeal within given period of time too.

Any help on this issue would be appreciated.

Kind Regards,

MII.

Ask Home office for your SAR record and check if there is any anomaly in your history. Home office usually relies on that record to check individual's immigration status.

Many thanks brother Shah and Smir.....

I have gone through many posts and through some friends experience that getting in touch with MP isn't making much difference. As they are also getting reply from HO that your case is under consideration. So from my point of view I would just wait. You can still wait for experts to answer. Good luck.

[smir]

@Tuhin



After determination letter it takes 2-4 months



So just be calm and relax

Hello Everyone,
Very much panicking...no news from the HO re my ilr, the court allowed my case more than 2 months back...passing very stressful days. can I go for my MP right now?? why they are taking time?

Tuhin

@ Tunin

did you attend hearing ? and what was experience ? what judge said ?

when did you applied SET LR ? you applied before hearing or after hearing ? or you withdrew appeal ?

help and share with other so that other too get helped

Hello everyone
I sent my ILR application in the end of January on the basis of 10 yrs. I was on 3d, In the 1st wk of February in my appeal hearing my lawyer changed the ground to consider my ILR as I am in the UK for 10 yrs and my everything was fine in my last 10 yrs to the judge. The judge allowed my appeal last month after 5 months, and ordered HO to give me ILR. Within 14 days time HO didn't appeal against the decision also refunded my court fees.

1.5 month gone I received my court decision but still waiting for the HO approval...can I approach to my MP right now?? or is this too early?? what do you think?? somebody says HO take longer time if some one push them through MP. I am totally confused . Please share ur opinions. Thanks.

Dear mali1212
I believe this is a criminal conviction as far I know cuz it has happened to my cuzion if you had accepted it on the first hand without court being involved in it it would have been a simple case but best to consult a solicitors regarding that and if it is don't make a mistake by applying for ilr cuz it will get refused until it clears which could take three years if I am not mistaken

Raja is right is a criminal record, the fact that you went to court, but he will still have to make an application to legalise his stay HO will just give you limited leave. Am sure you can't receive indefinite leave until after 3 years starting from that court date.

Hi all
I am very close to apply for set lr application, I need urgent advise plz share your best

I was stopped by police may 2014 and given fpn 100 penalty and also 3 points, using a hand held device I failed to make the payment and was sent a court letter and I pleaded guilty to it, then I had a letter from court to attend the court on April 2014 which I attended. I continued my pleaded guilty and court sentence 100 fine as earlier and 3 points.

I am not sure if it is a criminal conviction, do I need to declare as criminal conviction?

Please advice best course of action as I m so worried because of that, please advice any past experiences as the answer is so mixed and some of my known suggested to wait until May 2015.

Please share your best knowledge

Thanks

Also you never know, since u are not very sure of the exact days, it could be less.
I wish you all the best on Thursday.

I am going to apply for SET(LR) in the near future as I have been in the UK for 10 years. I came to UK in 2005 and have only been out of the country on one occasion for a period of 120 days. The reason I went out of UK was to change my VISA category from Dependent VISA to Student VISA from my home country.

When I applied for student visa the application got refused once and the subsequent appeal got rejected as well. Then I submitted a new application and that got accepted and I received visa. Until my student visa was obtained I remained under dependent visa and my visa never expired or got revoked.

Do I need to explain this in my SET(LR) application form? Also can I use Premium service 28 days prior to my 10 year completion date?

Any advice on this is highly appreciated.

[go2tariq]

My question was specific to D13.

Section d says same as no need to pay health surcharge for ilr application but apply all others limited leave to remain application am I right or wrong pls correct me thanks

Dear All,
Time to share a good news. My ILR application is now granted based on 10 years long residency.
My case was straightforward. I spent 6 years on student visa, 2 years PSW, 1 year doctoral extension scheme and 1 year Tier 2.
I went to Croydon office to take one day service. Documents provided:
1. UK degree
2. LIUK test result
3. All my passports
4. BRP
5. Two photographs

It didn't take more than 2 hours to complete the whole process.
Now it is time for me to apply my wife and two children visa from Pakistan. Any suggestions will be very much appreciated.
This forum is really very helpful.

Well they have been checking if you have done more hours whilst on student visa and I know some1 personally who has been called for secondary interview when he went for peo appointment he tried arguing with the visa officer that he is willing to give interview on the same day but they refer cases to people who specilise in firing questions but to be honest that just rare it barely happens and regarding the tax your taxes has to match as in what you submit when you apply for extension and end of the year it has to be the same if you know what I mean and as long as they match you should be good to go and don't take stress I know it must be bugging your head but it's one of those things you just have to go with it hopefully it will smooth for you as well and if you got no refuses and your case straight forward and its affordable for you go for peo it's worth it

Hi all,

Please advise - I have 10 days short in completing the 10 years on 19th of September - Can I still go for same day application? Will the 28 days relaxation be given to such applicants?

Please guide

To calculate your eligibility, 10 years long residence starts from date you ENTERED the UK and you can apply 28 days before reaching the 10 years mark.

Shah get the letter from hmrc that u paid all taxes and ask ur accountant to give u CT600 both letter needs to be since u opened ur business till today thanks

Hey actually I was told by some1 that they recently started checking tax submissions and self assessment since everything got connected online to ukba I mean about year a ago they used to fax and e mail other departments to get information but now ukba now has access to Hmrc and they make sure if you paid the right amount of tax secondly today when I went to collect my passport from desk 44 the visa officer said sorry for the wait cuz last check from Hmrc took longer then usual so that sort of makes you believe that they ain't doing Mickey Mouse job and you mentioned that somebody claimed some money through insurance claim I don't think that would be a big issue it won't fall in same category county court or anything bdw have you ever been on student visa and worked more then entitled hours?

Thanks a Lot to get back to me , i have been so confused recently do not know what to do or not, yes i have been student my first two extension were as student then PSW since 2009 > 2001 Tier1 General > 2013 Tier1 General extensions and i believe i did more than 20 hours work when i was student, are they checking this one as well?

I did my credit History as well and there is no County Court Judgement against me in their as well, no idea what to do about tax for the tax period i did not pay when i get extension, although i did send tax returns but tax returns showed i do not own any tax.
