I am still waiting just like you. I have been student for the pass 14 years, no gaps, no criminal record, self funded all time, straight forward case. Is your case straight forward?

Hi there, I still haven't hear anything, been waiting since August. My lawyers have been calling them up but they say the application still isnt complete. I called the UKBA this afternoon and was told that the application was incomplete and they aimed to complete it within six months. When i pointed out that it had now in fact been 8 months I was told that this was probably because there were still going through people who had applied before me. I then pointed out that a few people who had applied after me had already received their documents back, and was told that they couldnt give me an answer for that! Absolutely ridiculous!

Hi there, my case is straightforward enough, but I am a bit over the limit of the 540 day rule. However, my lawyers have explained that under the age of 16 I was a minor and had to travel back home to my parents as I was in school here. I guess only time will tell, it's just frustrating having to wait. Very incompetent.

Congrats malavan, thats great news. Can you please tell what did you selected in FLR(M) form section 2 point 2.2 "Is it the 1st time you applying as partner"? if elect NO, what reason you gave below?? Also did u filled Financial Requirement Section or Maintenance section? It would be great if u help me out in this. I have appointment for FLR(M) on 4th April, really worried how will it go. I will follow the same on 1st window with FLR(M) and SET(M). now its seem like we have to take SET(O) as well :S Have you explained them any paragraphs or rules under which they should consider Settlement? If yes which ones..? and any additional documents you took with u except those mentioned in FLR(m) and Set(m) form?

I was at UK BA today to get visa for my wife and like to share my experince to anyone who likes to know.

first of all would like to thanks from every one who gave me advises and suggestions. (specially punjabi)

As some of you might know, I got my ILR(10 years) just last week and wanted to apply for my wife who was on student depandant visa and psw dependant perviousley for 5 years.
we booked the appointment under Flr (M) as we thought she needs to get visa under that. as I read some experinces of people here, we then decided to fill form Set(M) too and take both forms.

so we went to ukba today, and they asked us for the form on the first window! I showed them both forms as we dont know which form she is eligable. The lady said let me talk to my supervisor! she then called us and said wife has to apply under Set(M) which was great news for us.

after 2 hours waiting (already paid £1337 for set(m)) the case worker called us for checking the documents then we got shocking news!!
She said both Flr(M) and Set(M) are wrong forms and my wife should fill the Set(O) form!!!

she then brought the form for us and (thanks god) asked me to fill the form over there!! I quickly filled the form and after checking not even our all douments (except our marrige certificate and passports) she said wait for 15 minutes.

after 15 min she called again and gave a letter to my wife which was granted for her ILR. YES ILR.........

I think even them self dont know which form is right for 10 years long residancy dependant!!!

So my wife got her ILR same as me.....
Thanks again from every one who helped me in this forum..

Hey well done malavan1234
Congratulations to you mate. Just remmember us in ur prays.

[alisha123]

I contacted my MP last month and on the 6th of March I got a response from her stating that my application is under active consideration by UKBA but they cannot give timescale as to date for completion.
I contacted my MP last week again to chase up my application. She responded that my application is in a queue and they cannot give timescale for completing.
Almost 9 months now....from active consideration to being in a queue..what is going on UKBA?
I have decided not to call them again as it is a complete waste of time and money...
All we have to do is to keep on praying and be patient...
I applied 8months before my previous visa run out last two weeks ago...
God help us because this agency is seriously not fit for purpose...

[rayhanali]

congrats Malavan, wish you best of luck in the future.

[shazib1786]

In my case it took around 6.5 months (applied in mid aug) - people who have been waiting for longer than six months should complaint in writing and also approaching their MPs ( you all should have done by now) - I sent a few letters of complaint as soon as it was six months .

Also technically I am going to be applying for British Nationality using the 15 month rule ( 15 months from the day I sent my application for Set(O)). Anyone with any more information to share about this?

I know they are slower than a snail but we can't be treated like shit ...

Hi dear can u explain how can u apply British nationality using 15 months rule . I think it is exactly one year after ILR being granted, correct me if i am wrong i am not sure myself

Can any one PLZ let me know the Fax no e mail or exact address where my MP should send the request to expedite the case as it is nearly 8 months o

In section 2.2 I have selected Yes cos I have just granted for settel and it was first time my wif was applying under my ILR ( pereviously she was on my tier 4 dependant)

Reagarding finance, I filled both finance and maintance cos we had covered more than £18600 and als no problem on maintance.

they didnt give me chance to explain them the rule, u have to be very wise on the sitution I think, from their body language and communication I thought I do whatever they are going to say......so becarful what you gonna say to them...

which peo u have appointment on 4 april?

I took everythings what i thought gonna be useful....like, all bank statment from since last year, all pay slips for me an my wife since last year ( I work part time my wife works full time), last 2 years electricity bills which is in both name, my mortgage letter, even mine and my wife driving licence which the case worker had a look on wife driving licence date which was for 3 years ago....
dont worry, hope u get it.....just more confidance and think optomistic....I do pray for u.....

GOOD LUCK......

Thank you again from every one who helped me here and big thanks to this forum....

I do suggest this forum to friends who want to apply same as mine..

[tsn1]

Got my ILR yesterday, Thanks to everyone, I have learnt a lot from this board, so love this board. my timeline as follows..

Application sent: 8/09/2012 under 10 year Lawful stay
Acknowledgement Received: 13/09/2012 (letter printed on 10/09/2013)
Biometric Invitation: 13/11/2012 (letter printed on 10/11/2012)
Biometric Done: 14/11/2012

Passport and document received: 27/03/2013 (Approval letter issue date 21/03/2013)
BRP Card Received: 27/03/2013 ( made on 21/03/2013)

Few things about my application:

> 5 year 2 moths student + 4 year 10 moths HSMP & Tier 1.
>Had 3 points on my driving licence, declared in the form
>Only Life in the UK certificate and Passport sent. No bank statement or payslips or anything.
>No solicitor used.

So, who are going to apply soon please bear in mind that SET(0) for 10yrs is one of the simplest form, don't include irrelevant documents for this category like p60, bank statement, payslips etc. just send what they want.

Thank you very much to Damanisshallo and all here and I wish you all the best. From HR.

I applied on 22nd Sept and didn't get any decision yet. Meanwhile my wife who is my Tier 1(g) dependant Visa is expiring on 14th of April. I have to send her application.

Just wanted to know Is the FLR(m) the correct form for her or shall I use any other form. Because recently I have seen a bit confusion in the forum about the dependants of 10 yrs long residence.

Please advise.

FLR(M) is the right form. The gamble you've read earlier is only applicable at PEO's. Use/tailor this Covering letter along with FLR(M) application.
