Does the word gap means out of visa? If so, then its 10 days.
Hi Dam
I think it is 28 days now rather than 10 days. See the post please http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewto ... highlight=

Re: Skip FLR(M)

Post by nanmoom » Mon Apr 15, 2013 9:01 am

[quote="Damanisshallo"][quote="nanmoom"]Q1. Its been 5 years including the IGS therefore could i apply under WP route for settlement. I am concerned with the waiting time for the 10 year rule which might take me to 8 months wait i am guessing. The possible pressure from employer in relation to a fixed term contract as a social worker.


Q2. If i meet the requirements could i include my husband as a dependant.

[b]IGS/PSW doesn't count towards settlement qualifying period. So, I am sorry but its a NO. However, I see that you qualify for ILR through your WP in December this year. You can include your dependents via this route. If you opt to go through 10 LR then you will have to apply for a FLR(M) for your dependents.
[/b]
Damanisshallo,

Many thanks for your response, i suspect this..... FLR(M) would mean my husband will fall under the 5 year rule having been in the country for since March 2011 and now married for 2 years and 9 months. Waiting till Dec 13 is a bit tricky. Some employers can be funny and since i am on a fixed term contract it could impact on my work as a social worker. When can my husband apply for his ILR please? Any idea.

Is any possbility for me to apply for my wife and son in 1 or 2 weeks as I am very eager to go to india ad I am not been to my country from past 5years and even it is safe for me instead of waiting until june

Please tell me what do you suggest
In that case I don't see any other option but FLR(M). Get this done at a PEO and once you come back from India, you can apply for SET(M) in June this year. As they wouldn't qualify for SET(M) within 1 or 2 weeks under the new 6th April rules because they were under PSW dependant visa prior to June 2011.

AFAIK, the earliest you can try is 28 days before 28/06/13 which would be 01/06/13.

Sorry to bother you on this again please tell me do I to switch them with in 28days from the date of my ILR issue date as my ILR date issued on 29.03.2013.

There is no such rule. At least I am not aware of. That would be a news to me, if such a rule exists.

once again sorry to bother your, please kindly help me

No, they'd still be considered under old rules. Why do you think so?

He can be added as a dependent on your SET(O) if you decide to proceed with your WP in Dec 2013. However, if you wish to make your SET(LR) application then he will have to wait until you get your decision and then apply for his ILR.

i heard from another member that you don't need to send brp again, as dependent application is linked to main applicant, and they will get their visa decided once their main applicant gets the decision.

Post by nanmoom » Mon Apr 15, 2013 11:03 am

[quote="Damanisshallo( Thanks )

No, they'd still be considered under old rules. Why do you think so?
( I rang the HO today spoke to a RAY and they told me that he would have to wait for 5 years to get his ILR. Conflicting information but i was of the view that the old rule applies). They try to discourage people i guess . First thing at 9.00am

When can my husband apply for his ILR please? Any idea.

He can be added as a dependent on your SET(O) if you decide to proceed with your WP in Dec 2013. However, if you wish to make your SET(LR) application then he will have to wait until you get your decision and then apply for his ILR.

( This means he can apply for ILR straight away after i get my ILR....? What form do i use. I would like to get it ready now...lol just to be organised)

After almost 14 years in the UK i cant wait for all this to be over. Its a longstory . I was a victim of a lawyer not being active on my case entering as a visitor and switching as a student granted after 3 years on 30.4.2003. I am in receipt of my HO file and checks are done each time an application is made, so i am shocked at the waiting time...

Any way i guess i will have to put my application for 10 years through now... i have spoken to my HR personel and dont want any stress come december 13 when my passport is at the HO and my contract coming to an end. My contract will change once i am in receipt of my ILR.

I guess the wise thing is to have ILR and fight for my husbands later.

Congrats to all who have received ILR today and the last week.

What is wrong with your application? It will be nearly 10 months. Complicated application that needs to be looked at by more than one case worker?

When you get your wife's bio-metric invitation ring them and ask them to provide the address to post your BRP/Passport if at all they need it.

i will also need to apply for my sons MN1 form.

Question - as i will need to submit my sons MN1 form and they are asking for marriage certificate. can any one please let me know what should i do as my marriage ceritifcate sent along with my wifes FLR-m application?

You can make a ROD request. Make sure you clearly mention on the ROD Form, that you are only requesting your documents and Not withdrawing your partner's application.

It is my undersanding that you can apply for naturalisation after 15 months when you documents are at the HO for a significant period of time. It might be to your benefit. Hung on... it will be in your favour. 10 months has compensated for the 5 months period if i was sitting on the case..... It will happen soon. I empathise.
