Hi Experts,

I need some guidance on my ILR. I am in a very difficult situation . I am on a ICT Tier-2 visa and first landed in UK in July 2008 on a Work Permit. There after my employer sent me back to India in Dec 2012 and my new visas were issued in March 2013 with a gap of more than 28 days from the previous visa. So my clock started again. However, I will be completing 9.8 years in February 2018 and will be short of 4 months for ILR.

I met few solicitors and they said that in this situation, I should apply for ILR via Post in Feb 2018. As per them, the Home office will usually take 5-6 months to process my application and by that time, I would have completed my 10 years and will get ILR.

It is not that I do not trust my solicitor but wanted to know your thoughts and opinion.

1. Will the postal application work in my case and be considered?
2. Can I legally work during this period?
3. Is the 28 day gap between two visas applicable for a 10 year route ILR?
4. Anything that I should be aware off?
5. Is FLRO visa an option?

Sorry for so many questions but I am very confused at the moment. Your help will be much appreciated.

Thanks
Mansoor

Hi all,

I just wanted to post to let you know of my recent success story with the postal application for ILR done via the long residence route. I initially wanted to do a premium appointment for a quick decision but due to no available appointments, I opted for the postal route in the hope that I can request to be upgraded for a premium service. I was not so lucky as I was told that my application was not eligible for an upgrade and therefore became stuck with the postal route.

A few days ago, I found out my ILR application has been successful and below is my timeline:

Postal application sent: 18 September 2017
Payment deducted: 25 September 2017
Biometrics requested: 29 September 2017
Biometrics done: 4 October 2017

*In early december, my solicitor and I tried to get in touch with the home office a few times to find out regarding my application. I actually wanted to withdraw as I found a premium service appointment in January 2018 and was getting desperate for a quicker decision. The home office later called to let my solicitor know that my application was nearing a decision and that we should wait further before withdrawing.

Letter received from Home office regarding success of application: 10 December 2017
BRP received: 13 December 2017

I had a straight forward case with the majority of my stay covered under Tier 4 student visa and also a post study work visa. I also kept all my bank statements for the past 10 years and provided as much documentations as I can with the application. To be honest, I am very pleased with how quickly I received a decision from the home office. Hearing from everyone else's experience, I think I had a relatively short wait of under 3 months via the postal application and consider myself very lucky. I wish everyone else all the best and hope that sharing this timeline will be helpful to some of you.

Best wishes to all!

She has to qualify in her own right. Your situation is irrelevant to her ILR LR application.

Hello Saxena
I don’t think it will take 6 months as there were people on the group who had same situations but they got call within 1 month that they get the visa so hopefully you will get good news.
I am going on 29 December so please share your list of documents they asked ?
I got one more questions that did you not know that they ask for the documents as we had discussions that they always ask ?
Hello Raheel
Please provide me your email if possible and I will send you the document..
I knew about this but my friends have advised and some of them applied without providing a single document from Tier 1 as according to them in Long residence it doesn't matter what visa you were on as long as you living legally... I found strange when the case worker asked me all this....
Hello Saxena
Admin removed the email so can you please post here so other members can get the benefit as well.
Regards
Hello Raheel

2. Please advise us if you have set up a business as stated in your Tier 1 Entrepreneur application and if so, please submit us the relevant details in its support for our reference.
3. Please advise us if the funds referred to in your Tier 1 Entrepreneur leave to remain application are continued to be available to you, except where they have been spent for the purposes of your business or businesses and submit the relevant evidence in its support.

Dear All,

Finally, after nearly 2 years I was granted indefinite leave to remain in the first week of October ( few weeks ago) . Throughout my ILR application, I kept on checking this forum , few posts from member did encouraged me a lot so thank you. I was on Tier 1 general and after getting frustrated I then varied my application to Long term residency.

If I look back now, It’s been a tough ride, loads of time I got very disappointed, but then again, knowing it’s nothing more I could do, I just tried to stay positive. Last few months, I contacted home office numerous times , unfortunately didn’t get any reply, I then ended up having depression. All the factors (like not able to travel, to start a new life, get myself a better job etc etc ), did affected my life and health, that was a very tough time. Luckily, I had my partner with me, she supported me through thick and thin.

From my personal experience I’ll say, No matter how strong or powerful or confident we are, tough times will come: viciously forcing their might on us, causing us to crumble. As mighty as we can feel one day, we can feel just as lost and scared the next. I don't say this to cause fear, I say it because it's the truth. The hardest part of tough times is not to lose hope and to have faith and to leave everything to God .

Good luck everyone , who are still waiting for their ILR application decision. I really hope you will get good news soon.

Thank you again to all members and the ones who have shared their experiences, it did helped alot.

Congrats dear Ahmed ,,,can inform that ur ceaseless efforts was for what,,thanks

Please can you let us know why you varied your application from Tier 1 G to Long residence ILR.. did you receive a response before you did so.... because I am thinking of varying my application to 10 year long residence..After being through an appeal with previous tier 1 application in 2013, I don’t have the time to be chasing adults in HO up and be emotionally stressed I am considering to vary my Tier 1 G 5 year route to 1 day ILR 10 year residence so your advice would be greatly appreciated.

I varied application because of the endless wait on Tier 1 g application , i didn't had any refusal . Hope it helps

Good luck

Hi Mansoor
Although I could not answer all your question, I can answer a few of them according to my experience and what I have known.

Can I legally work during this period?
Yes you can as per their rule, when you submit an application, whatever visa you were currently on will remain valid during your application progress until decision is made.

Is the 28 day gap between two visas applicable for a 10 year route ILR?
This should not affect your continuous residence. You should only have worried about 28 days if you were renewing visa from inside UK and would be considered an overstayer if you stayed in uk for more than 28 days or submitted an application after 28 days after the expiry of your visa . The continuous chain would have been broken if you had been outisde the UK more than 6 months at one time or spend 18 months outside the UK throughout the whole 10 year period.

That is all I can tell you for now. Good luck mate.

If you post your question in its own thread there are chances of getting answer. Also, provide all the details including your immigration history since you've come to the UK. Why your application was not decided on the same day? etc
