my question is whats the rule i have to follow? submitting my application first or all together? i mean what should be the procedure? do i need to apply for them now or when i will get my decission...so confused ,,,if you can guide me please... thanks in advance

Presumably you mean for your wife to switch to FLR(M) visa. She can do that any time after you get ILR but preferably before she has any travel plans out of the UK.

Hello all,

I hope someone is able to help. I want to apply for my ILR (LR) and have all the necessary documents ready. However I'm unable to arrange a premium appointment as they are fully booked for the next 45 days!

I wonder what kind of processing times those who have applied in 2018 via post have encountered? I fear being without my passport for six months!

Thanks in advance

Hello all,

I am due for my 10-year settlement for the end of August 2019. But I need to go away for from 20 December 2018 - 3 March 2019 (74 days). This is for work.

Question: One can be away for 180 days in the year leading to August 2019. Is that right?

Question 2: Is the max total number of away days 540 for the 10 year-period?

It's just hard and confusing to read the documents as I am dyslexic. I also don't know which is the latest.

Thank you for any advice you have!

Best, V

I got a question about the start of the continues 10-year residency. does it start 28 days from obtaining the first visa (with the premise that you enter the UK within 90 days), or does the count start from the first date of entry ?

Thanks

Hi user 001.
It starts from when you first enter in to uk.

Hi
My solicitors advises me that my 10 year starts from the date of visa issue if I have entered UK within 90 days . My date of UK entry will be used when I traveled to UK after more than 90 days of visa issue.




I have secured appointment on 21st. I have calculated on the basis of 10 years from visa issue date . I traveled to UK after 25 days of visa issue.

I am confused about the calculation. Please see both arguments below.
Please advise if I should cancel?

Regards
P

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your email correspondence of 19 February. I am sorry for the delay in replying to your email.

In order to qualify for Indefinite Leave to Remain on the basis of Long Residence, you will need to demonstrate that you have been present in the United Kingdom continuously for 10 full years.

Your 10-year qualifying period starts from either when you arrived in the UK with a visa or when you were given permission to stay in the UK.

You can apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain no more than twenty eight days before you complete ten years legal Long Residency in the United Kingdom.

You may find the following specific link useful:

Please note that as the onus is upon the individual to ensure that he/she satisfies the requirements set out in the guidance material that accompanies each and every application form. UK Visas and Immigration is not able to give, indicate or advise upon the outcome of any such application prior to it being correctly submitted and being given full and careful consideration.

Therefore, you are advised to read through the guide prior to submitting a future application.

I hope this information is helpful.

Yours faithfully,

Sangeeta

Hi all the experts and moderators on this forum.

First of all I do apologies if my post is not in an appropriate thread. If this is the case, I would be very thankful if the moderators could kindly move it to the correct location for me

I'm preparing my ILR Settlement application on the basis of Long residence - SET (LR). I am going for my PSC appointment next week so just want to double-check if I have all the necessary documentations:

Completed SET (LR) application form - version 13/7/18
2 photographs - meeting UK passport requirements
2 passports - old and current, these are all the passports I've held during my 10 years residency.
Current Biometrics Residence Permit.
Life in the UK Test Pass
Degrees taught at UK Universities
PSC Appointment Booking confirmation and payment confirmation

My total absences from the UK comes to 406 days in 10 years with no break more than 180 days at a single time.

I have no criminal convictions, and have never entered/tried to stay in the UK illegally

Immigration History:
First entered the UK 8/9/2008 on Student visa - valid until Oct 2010
September 2010 - Oct 2014: PBS Tier 4 General
July 2014 - August 2015: PBS Tier 2 General
July 2015 - August 2017: PBS Tier 2 General Extension
July 2017 - July 2020 (my current leave to remain): PBS Tier 2 General Extension.

I'd be very grateful if someone could cast their eyes through and let me know if these documentations are sufficient? Only because these documents seems quite limited compared to all the previous applications which I did for my previous leaves/visas.

Hi
My FLR(FP) application is pending (applied on 22june2018, biometric done 17aug1018). My 10year residence was completed on 23 August 2018. I have got an appointment for my SET(LR) application on 6oct2018. How likely it is that HO will take the the decision of my FLR(FP) before 6pct2018?
Thanks
