Long Residence (10 years) SET (LR) applications

jml689 wrote:Hello,
I am applying for the 10 years settlement in UK, I have posted my application form to home office, and after 10 days I've got a letter telling me to enter in my fingerprints for my biometric card.I had a problem entering my signiture into the machine, and I don't think it looks exactly the same as the signiture on my passport. However after 1 months I've got an email saying my application is under consideration. But recently I've got a letter telling me to go to an appointment in order for them to make a decision on my application.They did not specify for me to bring any other documents.
My daughter and I came to the UK together, we both had a student dependent visa, and later on we got a work permit dependent visa. She and my husband both had an in person appointment, where they both got their indefinate leave to remain application accepted. And I posted my form the next day.

Do you have any suggestion on why they want me to attend an appointment? could this mean there is something wrong with my application form? could the difference in the 2 signitures means they want me back to confirm it?
Thank you for your help.

I am going for SET(LR) appointment in PEO on Friday. I am filling application SET (LR) form and am having problems with interpreting section D (immigration history).
My current visa status is " limited leave to remain on basis of private life" and has been for the last 2 yrs. My daughter is a UK citizen. Does this mean "I stayed in the UK as a family member of an EEA national exercising treaty rights"? never crossed my mind before.
Please suggest..

thanks,

I missed couple of biometrics n done my biometric on 27th Sep. Now as I can legally apply for Set lr my solicitor asked me to post a new Set lr with new fees saying, Once it will be acknowledged we can withdraw first application.
Posted 2nd Set LR on 8th Sep with fees (Deducted after a week) and getting Biometric letter for this application which I am ignoring.
Wrong advice from lawyer has messed up my case. Was I covered under 3C for the gap with first SET LR application. Was there any need of sending 2nd application with new fees? Can I withdraw 2nd application if I am covered under 3C? Will I get fees back?
What would you suggest?

If the applicant wishes to vary their leave for a purpose where a specified application form is required, they must complete the new form and meet all the requirements of paragraph 34A of the Immigration Rules and the Immigration (Health Charge) Order 2015, for the variation to be valid.
A person who varies their application does not have to pay an additional fee unless the new ground they want to be considered under has a higher fee than their original application. In this case, they must pay the difference between the original fee and the new higher fee.

Please i have a question. Pardon me for the long post . I want to apply in April 2017 for ILR through the 10 year long residence. Arrived in 2007 as a dependant to an HSMP applicant, relationship broke down along the line and was refused the extension of my visa. I put in another application through 7 years child consent route was refused. Appealed to the upper tribunal and my appeal was refused because my solicitor was 1 day over the the 28 day given i.e BC expired on 16th of June 2014 and the appeal submitted on 16th of July 2014. I was then sent a letter by the upper tribunal that the matter be withdrawn by consent order and that it will be reviewed and decision reconsidered. I was later granted 30 months leave to remain under the 10 year family route.
OK my question is this, come APRIL 2017 i will have reached 10 years in the country.
Am i still eligible for the 10 years long route application?
Many thanks in advance.

mdiqbal wrote:Dear all,
I'll be appreciated if anyone could come step forward who had experienced as mine situation. I first entered in the UK on 14/09/2016 and extended visa several times as a student. Hence, my 10 year anniversary will be on 14/10/2016. Anyways, my tier-2 visa was refused on 05/08/2016 and the administrative review negetively determined on 12/09/2016 and refusal letter said that I've only 14 days to disclose any new issues that, why should I stay in the UK further. Therefore, 35 days shortfall to reach the goal from the day of my AR was concluded. However, I had an opportunity to apply any fresh application within 28 days of my refusal which will be disregarded [Immigration rule: 276B].

I did so. I've applied SET(LR) on 20/09/2016 by post which was 24 days earlier, however, my 10 years long residency application was submitted within 28 days of the qualifying period. Further to the guidance, applications can be granted if they are considered 28 days or less before the applicant completes the required qualifying period. Furthermore, I added with my application some new circumstances that I'm part way through completing a PhD etc.

Generally, a question could be raised that how can someone apply 28 days earlier without the valid visa before completing the qualifying period? Then, I can modify the same question; could the Home Office able to provide any rules that someone can't apply without the VALID VISA before completing the qualifying period? Here is to note that, no one can provide any black and white evidences, this rules is just word of mouth.

Additionally, yesterday, I know that I had an option to apply FLR (FP) and as soon as I would hit the qualifying period I would have the chance to vary the application with SET(LR). Again, same question could be pointed out which is 'without valid visa'. If 28 days overstaying period is disregarded, then why won't I be eligible for applying within 28 days of the qualifying period for ten years route. I'm really passing a devastating time, can anyone help me to get rid of this dilemma please??!! Have anyone experienced this issue? Any comments please.
