[Shahkakaram]

"hello i came in this country at 19 oct 2004 as student then i took 2 student extensions 1 PSW my last visa was student and going to finished in march 2015 while my 10 year will completed in 19 oct 2014 but unfortunately they curtailed my visa till 25 aug 2014..."they sent me letter which issued on 23rd june 2014 but i received on 5th of august 2014 .in that case I have only 20 date left to apply further leave to remain .on the other hand I have only 25 days left to 10 years after 25th of august .Could any 1 advice me what option I have.

Dear Ali ,

Sorry to hear that your visa has been curtailed till 25th Aug 2014,
would you mind to tell us why did they curtailed your visa ?
well still your situation is not that bad you are almost near to your 10 years ...just you have to spend your these 25 days smartly
means probably they have mentioned you in the letter what you can do next ? and is five years cap still apply on you or not ? you can apply for another student visa and in the mean time you will get the bio metric invitation and decision you can vary your application to SET(LR) on 22nd Sep 2014 ....make sure you have got all the other documents ready for both visa ...( qualified English test , Life in UK and for further student visa CAS letter and other documents ...)

KEEP updating us and you can consult to any good solicitor just for the sake of advice but if you do it yourself then still it will be okay because its just 25 day short to 10 years not many days ....

Best of Luck !

For what categories of applicants are being asked to attend interview? If these interviews is for applicants who completed 10 years residence and applying set(lr) then maybe for them its a mistake. Maybe its only for set(o) applicants ?

My application is for 10 years long residence SET LR but bizarrely got interview on 21st of August

Hi Viganooriah..

Can you please share your visa history. There must be something common between you and "ILRwaiting" so we will be able to know why they called you for interview..

[Universal soldier]

Its 100% mistake because no one receive or attend any interview ever. The new department ukvi is doing more mistake than ukba and if you surf other forum section then will see that how many silly mistake they are doing, to one they sent the documents of other person and to one person they sent email to send back passport but 2 years ago they got European residence permits.its definitely is a mistake to interview a person who is now settled and all his visa details they have then for what they called. If they still want that then better open some premium one day service for set lr.

By the way, I wanted to share this database for those who haven't heard of it before.

We've applied under SET(O) 10 years lawful residence in April 2014. Now (Aug 2014) got invitation for an interview to Liverpool HO. Has anyone been to one of those interviews recently? Are they common for SET(o) applications? What are normally the questions or what you have been asked? I got interview at the morning and my wife later same day.

Hi, I'm in the exact same situation. I applied for my ILR back in May 2014 on the 10 years long residence rule using the SET LR firm and today I've received the same letter asking me to attend an interview in LIVERPOOL and I'm in London.
I've looked everywhere on the net, and this seem to be very unusual or, this may be something new.
I really don't know what to expect....

Hi viganooriah and ILRwaiting,
Looks like this is a new technic by the Home office to start interviewing the applicants. Just make sure get your visa dates and history right, and mind it you guys have completed 10 years in this country legally, and they can't stop you getting the settlement with out any plausible reason, so not to worry, be confident and everything will be alright.
Our prayers and best wishes be with you.
Kind regards

Shahjee and all members

just wanted to update my wife FLR(M) decision is on it's way.as i tracked special delivery reference no it's say on it's way.
need ur prayer's guys hopefully get 2 years visa according to old rules.
Shahjee do they mention in approval letter that it's 2 year visa or 2.5 years or we need to wait for BRP to find out visa is according to old rules or new rules?

best of luck to all of those who are waiting for their decisions.

Regards

Hi Nasir Bahi,
Firstly congratulations to you and your Mrs in advance. As you applied in time so I am pretty sure that it will be a two years visa, hence your Mrs will be open to apply SET(M) immediately.
Secondly you asked about, if the visa duration is mentioned on the approval letter, the answer is No. It will be a standard letter just informing your Mrs that her application has been successful. Try calling the DX Courier tomorrow morning to check may be the BRP is already on its way.
My prayers and best wishes with you and your family.
Kind regards
Shahjee

hello shahjee1234 & others,
Along with set (LR), whether sending the print out of PBS qualification calculator which award 10 points of uk passed degree is necessary or simply sending the UK degree certificate is sufficient instead of sending too the PBS calculator print out of the following
https://www.points.homeoffice.gov.uk/gu ... ment.faces

Hi Universal soldier,
No it is not necessary at all. I didn't send it with my application, I just send the original UK university degree and transcripts. It is totally optional, and up to you, if you want to send it.
Kind regard

[Mrs.P]

Thanks so much guys for your good wishes, the caseworker has actually asked for my original passport which is already with HO since 2012, if I don't my application will be refused. I have written to him with all acknowledgement, refusal, copy of visas covering 10 years and FTT decision, let's see what happens.

@ ilr waiting ,

Thanks for you update but yes after reading your post so many question arises :-

why did you fill set(o) form if you are applying on the basis on Long residency ...it should be SET(LR) ?

and also according to my limited knowledge i have heard that those who are applying for ILR through HSMP route where you need to complete five years according to the terms and condition of the visa you can apply for SET(0) AND i know few cases on this forum under set(o) or other category that HO has invited applicant for an interview to ask few question regarding their income and other ....but we never heard that interview has been called for 10 years Long residency set(lr) cases .

Can you just share some more information about your case that under which circumstances you have submitted set(o) form on April 2014 Under 10 years long residency category ...

Or shah jee or Amber can help you in this regard ....

Regards ,
S.Akaram

Yes, it was SET(LR) form, sorry. 10 years ago we've come here and applied for family reunion with our child (now british citizen), but heard little from HO during this time (like "we've got your application, please wait"). Now in Aprlil we've filled SET(LR) form, passed tests, done biometrics, paid money and received recently invitation to the interview. On HO site mentioned possibility of an interview https://www.gov.uk/long-residence/apply-to-settle Just wanted to know what are they normally asking.

[redrosekhan]

Just a quick update about my wife's SET(M).

We had PEO yesterday at Croydon for my wife's Indefinite and it's a successful one. My wife got two years FLR(M) on 4th June and not two and half years but the case worker insisted on that time that she has to wait five years to get indefinite. But I took my chance and it was a good one.

I hope all of you who are waiting have a good result.

@redrosekhan: Congratulations on getting ILR Bro please search about the English Language assessment and check list of approved certificates.

For PEO, pay online and also fill in the payment page on the actual form with the same card you used to book peo. Otherwise you will be waiting a good while and people in queue behind you will not be happy.

Regarding documents, each section of form has got hints about which supporting documents will be required. For employment category, you do need to submit 6 months payslips and bank statements and preferably an employee letter. Your own passport, BRP also need to be submitted.

You also need to satisfy the proof of cohabitation requirement. Alot of options which include tenancy agreements bills utility bills gp letters council tax etc covering last 2 years (from date of application). Also don't forget your marriage certificate.

According to new rules introduced on 6th April, your wife cannot combine the previous PBS dependent leave to qualify for ILR. I wonder which Appendix and Part 8 have you read?!! Please make sure to check the latest July versions and apply using July version of FLR M.

I am sharing the link of documents to submit for FLR M and other related discussions. Do read through them. Feel free to ask anything as I too went to PEO on 28th July for my FLR M.
