10 years long residence applications

[Shahkakaram]

Hello Everyone,

I have been silent reader on this Forum for a while, I will be applying for my SET(LR) in few weeks time. I have got a question which I think should not effect me but need to advise from members here.
I came to this country on 5th OCT 2004 as student then got PSW 2010 and currently on TIER1 General expiring in Feb 2016. The question I have got is all my extensions were done on time and had no issues. In Jan 2010 I applied for my student visa extension and was granted visa till Oct2010. In May same year I applied for PSW but in July I got refusal because of low maintenance threshold and was given no right of appeal as I had a valid visa (This was stated in refusal letter that I can make fresh application but cant appeal against it as I have valid visa till OCT 2010) I made a fresh application within a week and was granted PSW in August 2010. Will this effect my LR application? I have never been over stayer and all my extensions were done on time.

Also when can i apply for my SET(LR)?

Many Thanks,

Dear ILRUK84,

Welcome , to the forum .

According to my understanding and rules & regulation your continuity period is not broken as u had valid visa till oct 2010 and the reason not to give you right to appeal on refusal in JULY 2010 is also supporting your continuity as you had valid visa till oct 2010 ...so be confident and hopefully there will be no issue on this ...

If any other member has got different opinion then mine so please correct me here and inform ILRUK84 ....

regards ,

S. Akaram

Home office has been extremely slow dealing with march applications. Looking at time line it took them 6 weeks. Does anyone know the reason behind this? I applied on 18th June and was hoping for a reply in September.. Not anymore.

Dear Members

Need urgent advise

My wife visa was refused last month because of English test i have appealed against it. Now i have to travel Pakistan in October and do not see appeal will be decided so soon.

Now if i want to withdraw my appeal and put fresh application again i have to prove my income. I am self employee what documents do i need to prove self employee income. My last year self employee income meet the threshold but did not submitted my tax return as its due in JAN 2015.

Please advise me what documents would be required to prove my income and how long normally taking for Flrm Visa.

Means they now efficient and online change of address form now they process efficiently. Just stay connect with the forum exchange information then i believe you will deal more better than solicitor

[Mrs.P]

Hello cool mind they have confirmed the change of address thanks.

[cool mind]

mrs p
have they confirmed the change of your address. If not then you should write/fax them too.

[Mrs.P]

hello Red scorpion,

I filled in both section because they had my mum's address on record from when I sent my tier 1 ent application back in 2012, and my solicitor's do not represent me anymore. I feel so exhausted now, I have been praying for all of us, I hope they silly caseworkers come to their senses soon and I have a feeling that they have lost my passport. Shahjee please pray for us.

[red scorpion]

Hi Guys just updating, called HO, application us still under consideration, I am honestly fed up now, just have to wait it out until the useless caseworker decides to do his job. Good luck to those waiting.

Mrs, P you are not alone in this boat.I applied for ILR on 15 march.I was on 3C 3D.I withdrew my appeal and applied for ILR.i have not heard from home office since then.i think our case workers have no retrieved our passports from other home office departments.

Mrs P when you changed your address online, which form did you fill in?there are two forms.one for address change and one for change of legal representative.

shahjee we need your prayers.

Hi Shahsahab,
Regards to what could be a reasonable time to change a dependent visa to that of FLR(M), I have not come across any rule as such, but a dependent must change his or her status to one that of dependent of a settled person through FLR(M) before they travel out if the country. I would personally suggest that. 3 months is a lot, and you better try to apply before that, as I said just a suggestion, rest is up to you.
Regards to the English language qualification, you are right B1 level is higher than A1 and should be alright, but mind it there was a member and his dependent had a B1 from Learning and resource centre, and the dependent was denied visa. My wife did B1 from Trinity college and there was no problem getting FLR(M) and than SET(M).
One of our valued member tulip rose have uploaded a link for you to check the eligible English language course, please check that. Many thanks.
Kind regards
Shahjee
