10 years long residence applications

Update:

I am one of the July 2012 applicant. Just received a mis-delivery note from our postman when I came back from work this evening (16/04/2013)!

The number on the card is the prepaid special delivery envelope that I've attached with my ILR application 9 months ago!! Going to pick it up tomorrow from our post office depot. I hope it's good news! Will update you guys again tomorrow.

Good luck and all the best to those waiting.

[quote="saanju9"][quote="angel62"]I cannot apply for settlement under Tier-2 as my wages are below £35,000 then if I got ILR under long residency then my wife time spent as my PBS dependent will not count towards 2 years qualifying period.Am I right or wrong?[/quote]

No because she is a Tier 2 dependent.. she can count towards 2 years qualifying period.. so she can apply after 2 years

[quote="Damanisshallo"]

Since the dependent came to UK in Dec 2009 which is Pre-July on a dependent visa he/she would fall under the first condition of the first if (Qualifying Period).

Because the dependent was on a non settlement route he/she would fall under the first condition of the second if (Calculating Qualifying Period).[/quote]

sorry man little over look of your algorithm in previous post.

But you said

"[color=red]then[/color]
You cannot add/Combine/Amalgamate your stay.
[color=red]else[/color]
You can add your previous stay towards qualifying period.
[color=red]end if[/color]

in this algorithm your 1st saying you cannot and then "else" your saying you can

whats the difference between
[b]"cannot add your stay"[/b]
and
[b]"can add your stay towards qualifying period"[/b]

just need a bit clarity here[/quote]

Hi All

I contacted UKBA just now and they give me some unexpected answer.

They managed to tell me that they have just assigned my case to a case team in liverpool.

I called the 0870 number, but i might have accidentally press the wrong button but somehow it's got connected quickly anyway.

I will update you all once I got more news.

Many Thanks

Hello mrgSingh.

I am in the same situation... Applied on the 09 August ( Set 0 - 10 years route ) still awaiting. Did not contact my MP so far. Is your case straight forward ? As you said i don't think UKBA working on July application this is not true. Now they on strike for the week..sooo more delays....!! How many time you contacted your MP ? you think its worthy ?

Got reply back from my MP again...very disappointed...
The UKBA unable to confirm the time scale to make a decision on my application. They state that they are still working on the July applications which doesn't appear to be true here...................
Don't think if we have any other option other than wait........................

Congrats Bro !!

Did you hire any lawyer ..? in your application did you send any work payslips ? As I applied on the 09 august no response so far..mine is similar to your case . student / psw / student.I did the SAR but did not send a copy of it.

Thanks for your post.

Hi , No Lawyer, No pay Slips, I only sent what they had asked for, only additional document I had provided them was SAR one page which shows all my Landing cards records, No Visa gapes,,,,however there was one in-coming missing stamp on my passport but i did not provide any thing to cover that.

I did contact my MP after 4.5 months , after 6.50 month, and last Monday (8-04-2013), sent few time emails to UKBA but no reply received from them

I hope you all get soon.

Congratulations my friend please could you confirm if you have received both BRP and Approval in the same letter or differently....If differently who delivered them? Thanks.

Yes, i contacted our mp. But i think what actually did the magic was the complaint letter i wrote (fax and email to UKBA) last thursday using the template provided by some members of this forum.

The approval letter and BRP card was delivered separately. Royal Mail delivered the approval letter using the special delivery envelope i submitted with the application, whilst the BRP card was delivered by a guy with a private car yesterday evening.

I was actually surprised to have received the BRP the same day because we weren't expecting the card until next week. It was a big relief having waited for 6.5 months.
