10 years long residence applications

[Basra]

@ Please advise,
My SET(LR) application has been refused due to one time more than 6 months (19 May2011 to 03 May 2012 absences 349 in one year) absence from UK and due to this my absence are 712 total.
That was happened because my Father was seriously Ill and I have submitted his complete medical record during my absence period. I have submitted covering letter along with my application to describe everything.
Reasons of Refusal:
I was absent from the United Kingdom from 19 May 2011 until 3 May 2012, a single absence of 349 days, in addition, you were absent from United Kingdom for a total 752 days in total in the 10 years. As noted continuous resident is considered broken if an applicant absent more than 6 month continually in one year and more than 540 days in 10 years.
Comments on Medical evidences:
You have leaved on 19 may 2011 and provided the return confirm return ticket 02 july 2011 but you have stayed 349 days.You have provided a doctors letter confirming that your father 68 years old was admitted to hospital and you were eldest member of family it was your moral n emotional and realistic responsibility to deal this situation.
But you have mentioned that at application page 14 you’re younger brother, elder sister and your wife are resident in Pakistan so it is not accepted that it was necessary for you’re to stay there.
Facts of the matter:
My younger brother was study in other city and lived in hostel and he was 20 years old that time. My elder sister got married 15 years ago and living her children n husband in different city, children ages are less than 10 years. My mother was died in 2008 about 7 years ago,, I got married in October 2011 after 4moths of this accident. I and my father were living along in house…so I was entirely my responsibility to deal this situation.
i got right of appeal.
kindly advice me what should i need to do at this stage.
thank you

Hi to all
I am applying under set lr and planning to book appointment at P E O however would need some advice from experts..
Date of entry uk. 02. 10. 2005. Student
student extension in may 2008
p s w extension April 2010
back to student extension in June 2012 which was valid until September 2013
I got married in the uk with my wife in January 2013, and she was on tier 1 general visa until September 2013.
I travelled to back home in order to obtain the dependant visa which was granted in may 2013 whilst I had student visa valid and I came back to UK in the may and was away from UK almost 60 days.
I applied as tier 1 general dependant in September 2013 with my wife but home office refused her extension under some very minor issue which was granted by the court and we both received our passports in august 2014 with 3 years visa expiring in 2017.
my wife completed her 10 years so she applied for set lr in October 2014 which granted Feb 2015, hence I did not applied for the visa with her as I might had to travel to my country and so on. I visited few solicitors and they assured me it should not lead any negative impression when I apply my set lr in September 2015.
I have no criminal or civil, and all the extensions were applied in time , but I m so confused with mixed answer that I have to switch my visa first to F l R M and then I can apply for set lr
Please help me with your best of expertise and experience
regards
ali

barrister should have requested judge to remit back case to home office

10 year guidance says as follows

The applicant completes 10 years continuous lawful residence while awaiting a decision of an appeal
A person may complete 10 years continuous lawful residence whilst they are awaiting the outcome of an appeal and submit an application on this basis. Under sections 3C and 3D, it is not possible to submit a new application while an appeal is outstanding. However, the applicant can submit further grounds to be considered at appeal.

If the applicant has an outstanding appeal against a decision to refuse leave to remain or indefinite leave to remain, and submits an application for long residence, you must void the long residence application and refund the fee. You must create a file or sub-file and mark it ‘PRIORITY’. You must send the file or sub-file to the presenting officers unit (POU) dealing with the appeal. You must send a letter to the applicant or their representative informing them their application has been linked with their outstanding appeal. You must use Doc Gen letter ICD.3207 for this purpose.
If the appeal is against a decision to curtail or revoke, and the immigration decision was made on or after 31 August 2006, you must follow the same process but you must use Doc Gen letter ICD.3258.




barrister need to show this page to the judge with paragraph number ..and try to remit case back to home office

Will be going to Glasgow PEO ON 10TH august for SET(LR). Raj please share your experience and i will definitely do mine once done, and good luck to u Raj, All da best.

My case has got two complicacies, so not expecting much:

* 182 days out of uk in a row because of illness.( compassionate ground required), its take a lot of work to make HO feel compassionate now a days.
* Genuine TOEIC exam, January 2012, Toeic just confirmed me they dont store exam datas for more than two years, lets see how HO wants to play the game.

Fingers crossed for everyone and good luck.

Hi Sameer
Thanks thanks for ur words
I don't know why judge dismissed our appeal be in decision he said HO Respondent also agrees that this family is becoming under article 8. And my self feel that this family is honest. But you have not submitted any application under 10 years. So you not gave a chance to Secretary of State to use discretion for extra 9 days I will suggest you to apply under 10 year asap.
At the end he dismisse our appeal

[Hamzaakbar]

Sorry
Smir (not Sameer)
Need prayers bro

apply wife flr fp , attach your set lr acknowledgement with a cover letter explaining that husband set ilr is in process so please keep in hold till husband set lr is decided




189 days is tricky..hope they use discretion


inshAllah it will be ok dont worry.. lot of people got ilr at peo after appeal dismissed or withdrawl.



can you share why 10 years not considered ? what judge said when you quoted 10 years ?

how much your barrister argued ? and why utt permission was refused ??

Just wait for their decision did you asked her how long it will take, you should have try to apply for your wife the same time as you. When did your 28 days grace to make new application start. So you have to make your wife application before that time lapse or you risk her application being refuse even though your ILR is granted.

Once your friend use form SET LR, his wife clock restart so she will need form FLR M.

She will have to spend another five years before she qualify for ILR, if the children were born here he can leave them out of the application for now and once the dad receive ILR he can use form MN1 to register them. However if they were born outside UK he will have to include them in their mum application as dependant.

Note: For FLR M some requirement will need to be meet.

Finance joint earning of both husband and wife will be around £27,000+ , because they will include the children into the calculation even though they are not included in the application.

She needs B1 for her English test as well or a degree.

Hi my friend applying for 10years long resident
Indefinite leave to remain( student and PSW)

The right form for him is SET(LR).

My question is what is the type of form
Belongs to his wife who had spend 5 years as
His dependent along with 3 children(5yrs, 2yrs & 8 months).

Do you thing applying for him & his wife is
Ok at present( kids will be later due to high visa fees)

Please urgently let me know about her
FORM to decide the fees please.

Many thanks

Hi guys,
I have seen number of people asking that they will be going for same day service and need help but once get visa , never share their exp , did they get the visa or not. My point is once they get the visa they do not bother to share their exp at peo , i would like to say if you are going for same day service or sending by post dont forget to share your experience , it help others and keep this form also alive

Thanks
