10 years long residence applications

[cool mind]

Congratulations shahjee on your brother ilr. enclosing special delivery envelope is really good trick as it let you track the movement and even i believe an applicant can instruct the local royal mail sorting unit about the package in advance and the applicant even pick it up from sorting unit before it attempt to deliver at home.

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 Simoz

You can call DX tracking service ask if they have anything to be delivered to you. They will only ask you post code and name. If they have something it may mean that your ID card is on the way and and your application is successful.
I hope you get a the answer you wishing for.


Kind Regards

I called DX and they have nothing for us.Its coming via Royal mail.Does it mean our application is unsuccessful ??

Hi Simroz,
This is the time for you stay positive, now let me tell you a good news my brother is also on this forum khan_81, he also applied on the 30th March, the same day that your husband applied. The only difference is that he provided Home Office with self addressed special delivery envelope which is next day delivery. Although I should have waited for him to break the news to the forum, but as you are worried I have to let you know that by the Grace of Almighty Allah, he has received his approval today. So I would presume that as your husband also applied on the same day as his, than your husband is also a good news. So stay positive and give us the good news ... Hopefully today or tomorrow than. My prayers and best wishes with you.
Kind regards
Shahjee

Hi Everyone,

I am also one of the silent reader of this forum and want to thank everyone it was very helpful to submit my Set(LR) myself.
Today I received my documents back and I got the ILR. My timelines are:

Application send: 31/03/2014
Acknowl received: 07/04/2014
Biometric received: 09/04/2014
Biometric recorded: 12/04/2014
Approval date: 11/08/2014

Now I need to bring my husband and daughter to the UK. My husband was a student here and his visa expired last Oct so he had to leave the country with my daughter who was born here.
I am currently on maternity leave so I don't qualify the financial requirement to make FLR(M) application. What other options do I have? Please kindly advice me.

It is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Congratulation!!
have you got your documents back via royal mail or DX?
Do they send approval letter with the document.

Thanks..

Hi everyone,

I am the silent member of this forum.#My husband has applied ILR on 10 year basis on 30th March.
Today we call home office and they said they have posted something using Royal mail.
I am wondering what it can be?
They gave us royal mail tracking number but its showing nothing.
Do you have idea how long does it take for royal mail to deliver post?

I cant wait anymore..feeling so anxious

[LIFE1020]

Hi All

Shahjee please advise, I am still waiting to hear any replies
Please, it's very urgent Shahjee

.. 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.

[shahjee1234]

Thanx shahgee for you kindness

Yes that is the case actually. You r right i can save money by doing that. Can u plz tell me the procedure to vey the application. As you said fill the new set (lr) and attach covering letter, do we need to mention the old ref no of flrm are they will locate that themself.And the only reason i worried is what if they send us brp invitation in first 10 days and then we ll have to do that in 14 days.And once we do brp can we very her application. Because friend of mine got decsion in 6 days after he did his brp. I mean these are the confusions. And then plus what i need to write in covering letter is there any standard letter available. Its bit tricky.Shahgee can u plz help me with this.Will be grateful.

Jazakallah

Thanks

[jacki121]

Hi Guys

I am wondering does the normal royal post deliver the BRP or the DX?

I am still waiting and dont know which courier will deliver it?!!


thanks

Hi jacki121,
DX is suppose to deliver your BRP, but obviously depends as and when they receive it from the Home Office. Why don't you give them a call and ask that you are expecting a BRP card from Home Office and that you don't have a reference number for them, they will ask for your name and address and check it for you, if there is any thing for you. The numbers for them are
08443710000 and 08443713335
All the best.
Kind regards

Hello all , please help
I am in totally dilemma now since home office has brought the changes of forcing dependants to spend 5 years in order to get ILR. AS I am on Tier 1 General Visa which is expiring April 2016 and I will be completing 10 years next month September and was preparing for applying in Long residence visa category BUT this new changes mean that if I go for SET ( LR) route than my wife has to wait for 5 years to get ILR.

SO could you guys advise me whether should I apply for SET ( LR) next month or wait till April 2016 when my Tier 1 visa expire and apply under Tier 1 category for me and my wife. Which option is best? I am totally confused as I have been like many others waiting to complete my 10 years and apply for ILR. Please Advise.

Hi bharatsharma,
I don't blame you for being in a dilemma what to do. You have two clear paths, first one to go for the universal rule of " A bird in hand is better than two in the bush" mean go for your SET(LR) and at least you make sure that you get your ILR first and your family although will take some time but will be sorted eventually.
Your second choice is to be brave and say that you and your Mrs are already on route to settlement through your Tier 1 General, although you have to wait for it till April 2016, but that at least guarantees you and your Mrs both getting the ILR together.
So thinking about both the options, now I have to give you my honest and brotherly advice, I was in the exact same situation back in February this year, at that time the SET(LR) dependents were going for straight ILR after the main sponsor get their ILR, and my Tier 1 was running out in July 2015, but the choice was easy for me, I went for my ILR on SET(LR) and my wife and daughter just avoided the 6th April rule change and got the FLR(M) for 2 years and then straight SET(M) ILR.
The thing is that at the time of my ILR application I thought that my wife could apply straight ILR, but by the time her visa time came, you can see the rules were so drastically changed that if she would have applied a few days late than she would have to wait 5 years to get her ILR, I mean to say nothing is guaranteed mate, you might wait for April 2016 thinking your wife will get sorted with you, you never know Home Office can shift the goal post at any time and come up with a new rule regards to PBS dependents, than what will you do ?
I would say you better go for the option which is there first and that is SET(LR).
What ever you do my prayers and best wishes be with you.
Kind regards
Shahjee
