hello sswszSSWSZ wrote:One friend of mine got ILR yesterday applied on 9 sep 2013
My case below written a month ago. Don't forget certificate proving degree in English or any official/authorised set of certificate which proves English proficiency. FYI, the application was made at PEO Croydon.vm81 wrote:Hello
Wonder if anyone has any recent success in applying set(m) directly at PEO rather than flr(m) and then set(m) for their spouse who has been here for at least 5 or more years (however has been on student dependant + psw dependant plus pbs dependant). I'm aware that our friend sswz is going to try PEO on 3 feb but if anyone else has succeeded recently or in past.... Please shed some light. As I have posted earlier I'm thinking of applying set(m) directly for my wife who has been here since 2005 in various dependant visa categories as stated above.
Your insight would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi guys,
I want to share the story of my spouse's ilr - set m visa application that we made today and she got her ilr within one hour or so. Hope it will give some guidance to people in similar situation.
The situation goes as follows. My current tier 2 visa was expiring in april 2014 however since I was eligible for ilr lr in august i went for it. Got it one week before 4 months were about to finish from the day of application. Likewise my spouse had her tier 2 dependent till april 2014. I received my ilr - long residence two weeks back. My wife was with me since July 2006 first as student dependent till early 2009, then as psw dependent till early 2011 and then as tier 2 dependent. Her total time in uk = 7.5 years. She started working in uk as dependent since jan 2007 and still does. Now I decided to take a chance and go for set(m) appointment not flr(m) as I checked out that few people have got that in past while some of them recently had to change to flr(m) and then to set(m) like mr. Ganti. My solicitor also advised me to apply for flr m followed by set m after it, but I decided not to do so. I did took flr m and flr fp which I saw were present on ukba website just in case I have to go for one of those.
I took set(m) appointment online and took all the necessary documents like four documents which were in both our names from atleast three different sources including tenancy agreements spanning over last two three years or so and also six documents in my name, bank statements, utility bills - electric water and landline, usual payslips, employment letters, council tax, hmrc, dvla, nhs etc. I also took six documents which were in my spouse name (including Naric confirming degree in english) spanning for two three years too also from similar kind of sources. For case workers reference, I also put copy of immigration rules from 278-287.
So basically I reached office twenty minutes before appointment, first ticket number was issued, I had prepared full file folder containing all documents which was collected along with my wife's passports & brp and my brp with ilr and my passport too, no questions at this point, then my spouse was called for biometric after which we waited in cafeteria for one hour and then we were called at desk for document collection where we were told that my spouse has been granted ilr based on her set m application. Got the approval letter, brp will be sent in 7-10 days by post.
No questions asked in the whole process and was straightforward may be because I had nicely laid out all the documents in order and probably all that was needed was present for the case worker spanning up to three years.
Sometimes luck does work on your side. Hope it helps.
Thanks to guys here who had provided earlier references on my query on people with similar situations in the past.
Good luck to all.

some people have tried that on this forum and they have succeeded, you might want to give it a try there is no harm in trying, i can only advise you to fill both FLR(M) and SET(M) forms and go along to the PEO with them, just incase they insist that your dependant must first change to FLR(M) before SET(M).
Hope this helps

Thanks again

Also someone told me that points based dependent can apply to extend their points based dependent visa for up to three years before applying for a partner of a settled person? If she does need to apply for partner of I have to earn £18,600 for my dependent no or when her leave finished in 2015? as I was on Tier 4 so I can not show that I was earning £18,600 in the past 12 months because I am not allowed to work full time. is this gross or after tax? Please help me asap thanks.

Dear MODs or any Gurus,
Could you please answer the question above as I want to know that do I apply for FLR (M) or other forms? do I apply straight away or wait till her visa finishes in end of 2015? Can she extend her Tier 4 dependent or apply for FLR (M)? Do I need to show £18,600? she has been here for 7 moths now. Please reply ASAP and I hope they finish September applications asap as I have been waiting desperately

Hello and sorry to hear about the refusal. The HO clearly states that you should have been in the UK lawfully for 10 years to apply for ILR - 10 years route. You can apply 28 days prior to the 10 years though according to HO. It seems that the solicitor clearly knew that you would not be given ILR and " advised " you to do so.
You cannot apply for ILR-10 again as you have a pending case with the HO. You will have to wait until their decision in June. In court you could argue that you have completed 10 years and that there was no gap in your residency.
Also, as one friend said : "you are the only person that that fight your case with tenacity. Many solicitors are just here to make money and some of them don't even know what they are doing. the law is in the Judge's hands and the HO." Everything that you need to know regarding ILR is on the UKBA website.
Good luck.
Hello sunshine,SUNSHINE19 wrote:Hello Gurus,
Can anyone of you please help me with a query . I have applied for long residence(10 years long stay ILR ) visa about 5 months ago, after eagerly awaiting for this long I managed to missed a courier from DX and I rang and found out that it was from home office. Now I do know for sure that the courier contain a BRP CARD but I am utterly confused whether this BRP is old one which still has leave remaining untill jan 2015 or its gonna be the new one for the ILR application I made . Btw I have not received my visa paper work yet,that's the reason of this big confusion.
Please do reply
Many Thanks
