10 years long residence applications

[rashenikki]

Hi All,

My application for SET(LR) is currently with the HO.

My current visa is a Tier2 which expires 2016.

My question is , say i get a new job with another employer, will it be okay for me to resign my current job or should i wait for HO before making any move to leave my current organisation?

And if i do, will them notifing the HO of my resignation affect my visa appliaction? and would the new company have to notify the HO? How Long? what then happens if i am refused?

Thanks guys for your help.
Nikki

Hi helostar,
Regards to A19, that is a mistake in the form so ignore that.
Regards to D14, it's asking you for your Social, cultural and family ties to country of your birth, or of which you hold the nationality, or country where you have spend more than 5 years.
I replied to that, by giving my country name, and telling them in the simple words in the section in front of it, that if you have any family members or friends. Mind it although all of us have spend more than 5 years here, but I didn't mentioned any thing regards to England, or any of my social connections here. I only mention my country of birth and wrote that I have brothers, sisters, nephew and nieces there.
I hope it helps. All the best.
Kind regards
Shahjee

Shahjee when you applied was there D14 in your form?

I have actually decided to put the UK in there as well just in case as it says any country where you've lived more than 5 years.

Hi shahjee1234 it ummali in response to your question my husband was on a spouse visa and he qualified under the old rules that he only needed to be here two years in order to apply for ilr. When we went to the home office the immigration officer informed us that we had been denied ilr but they had given us an extra two years. The reason she gave was that they have changed their English language test providers and the type of test that is now available she said if we had applied before the 1st of August we would have been accepted for ilr. I don't know what to do as the information was unavailable on their website. Plz reply

If your husband qualified under old rules and had completed 2 years and ILR was denied only because of English requirement,than ur husband has to give English test again by institution approved by Home Office and apply again,although you have to pay visa fee again.Because rules are changed for spouse visa not for ILR.
One of my friend was denied ILR because of English requirement he was given 2 years visa but was told u can apply for ILR as soon as u fullfill english requirement.He has applied for ILR now.

I pray ur husband get ILR soon
best of wishes to all of those who are waiting

Hi Ummali01,
I fully agree with Nasir Bahi, we all know it is unfair but if the rules were changed beginning of August than frankly I would recommend the same, not to waste your time, just fulfill the new English language qualification requirements, making sure that the institute is properly registered and go for the SET(M) again. Although it will be another fee but at least you get the due result, otherwise it's another wait.
My best wishes and prayers.
Kind regards
Shahjee

[tuliprose]

Hi Ummali01,

Would you please share which is the Awarding Body for your Level 1 English Language Certificate ?

[fielddrive]

For those thinking of sending the application in next couple of weeks, just a gentle reminder to check the form version on GOV.UK before sending your application.

They have updated the guidance notes today but the form version is still 07/14

Shahjee Amber or Vinny can help you out. You should challenge the decision if you are sure of your case. There is also a possibility that he can satisfy Language requirement and then immediately apply for ILR.

Hi I'm new to this forum I I don't understand it totally. But if anyone could give me some help it would be much appreciated. My husband just applied for ilr on form set m we applied on the 7th of August at a premium service appointment. We were denied ilr but awarded flr as they said the English language requirement was not met as they had changed their rules on the 1st of August meaning they had changed the type of test and providers that are now acceptable. My husband was awarded a ESOL English life and skills certificate by trinity college in which he achieved a higher level than b1 he's test was taken in March. The lady that refused our ilr said it was to no fault of our own. I found this very unfair as they only put up this information on their website after our appointment. Can anyone give me advice or has anyone had simular experience. All other documents where in check.

What does it say on the certificate, GESE grade 5?

He's certificate says level 1 certificate in ESOL skills for life speaking and listening
Level 1 is higher than required

Dear All

I hope somebody will be able to help me here

I am completing my 10 years for ILR on 02 Jan 2015 and can apply on 04 Dec 2014, but I have to travel urgently and can't wait that long, actually I have already completed my 10 years continuous residence now but if I apply right now then my total number of days outside of the UK are 32 days more than the limit of 540 days = 572 days outside UK.
So for this reason I am waiting till Dec then my days will be 532, but as explained above I have to travel, is there any advise/guidance any of you seniors please can give me, so that I can send my application 'Right Now as soon as possible' despite of waiting till December, my current leave to remain expires in Dec 2015
Please help me, Looking forward eagerly for responses.

hi guys!

Just wanted to update you on my wife's FLR M application. I have been to croydon PEO today. They give my wife 2.5 years visa after few hours of waiting. No scope for discussion on OLD/New rules or 2/2.5 years debate. They don't discuss case with customers, they just give it whatever they want to give.

One thing i really find unfair. I had to provide proof (according to application form requirement) that my wife is living with me for last 24 months. And now my wife will have to wait another 60 months to get her ILR. In total 84 (24+60) months she will have to wait Despite the fact that she is with me under the point based system since when the system starts (i can't even remember how many years ago).

In my opinion, Under no circumstances, HO can justify this rules!! They will have to loose if this matter goes into higher courts or judicial review.

regards;
march_ilr

I have already spent 36 months here, my FLR M letter says I can apply after completing 60 months yet I am told the letter holds no value because BRP is 2.5 years. So many lawyers contacted and only one knew this new rule of 5 years.

Please join us here https://m.facebook.com/groups/716996288 ... f=bookmark

We are trying to come up with a strategy to challenge this rule.

hello to everybody,
can anyone let me know how long it takes to get reply for my wife FLR(M) as i sent her application on 2nd april and i got my ILR approval on 22 july (applied for ILR on 17th march). I already sent a letter to request to proceed my wife application. but its alomost three weeks no reply ? any suggestions

Hi tanz5656,
I applied for my Mrs on the 3rd of April, and I got my ILR on 12th of June. They got their FLR(M) decided just 4 days after that on 16th of June, and we received their documents on the 17th of June, and I didn't wrote any letter asking them to start the process again on their application. So I would say it depends on case to case. All the best.
Kind regards
Shahjee

Hi Ummali01,
Leaving your main question aside please, I have a few questions regards to you case, if you don't mind sharing the whole story with us. As looking at the facts of the case I am a bit baffled. My questions are
1. When did your husband received his FLR(M) ?
You applied SET(M) on the 7th of August, so I would presume the FLR(M) should have been issued before that, isn't it ?
2. Why would Home office issue another FLR(M) on the 7th of August, when your husband already have an FLR(M) and was just trying to apply for SET(M)?
If you are going to answer that no your husband didn't have any FLR(M) before this SET(M) application on the 7th of August, than I would suggest that your husband applying for SET(M)application was wrong. How could he apply for SET(M) before he gets FLR(M) ?
From 6th of April 2014, rules are quite clear, dependent of a settled person have to apply for FLR(M) first, and than spend a qualifying period for 5 years to qualify for SET(M)
And just in case if your husband already have FLR(M) than why would they give him another FLR(M) visa.
Really sorry but your husband's case is not adding up, so we would appreciate if you can give us some more details of how, and why did you guys reached the conclusion that your husband is eligible for ILR through SET(M)?
Many thanks.
Kind regards
Shahjee
