Re: 10 Year long residence ILR application Settlement Adult Relative

You misunderstood the notice !!! That is only for people who want to apply under the family route ILR. Under the long residence, your current visa route does NOT matter. SET(LR) is the correct form :!:

You do not need to correct anything as this is a minor issue. Caseworkers look at the evidence submitted to make a decision

Re: 10-year Long Residence ILR Earliest Application Date

First of all, the "calculating continuous residence period" guidance does NOT cover the long residence route. This is very clearly explained in that guide. For the long residence, paragraph 267A of the rules defines “continuous residence” as residence in the United Kingdom for an unbroken period . T...

Re: ILR APPLICATION & SAFE RETURN REVIEW

Apparently, I've been advised that having legal representation makes little to no difference during the ILR application process. Legal representation has no effect, you ca...

Appendix Continuous Residence does NOT apply to the long residence route at all. This is literally clear on top of the Appendix Continuous Residence page. The long residence rules are under paragraphs 276A and 276B . Any period that you did NOT have valid leave is a gap that breaks your continuous r...

Re: Why can my husband apply for his ILR?

The qualifying period counts from the first visa issue date so the date of entry is irrelevant. The fact that you are no longer a skilled worker is also irrelevant, he can apply for an extension or ILR under the skilled worker dependent route without any issues. When he gets ILR, he can immediately ...

Case worker for your ILR application will conduct this. You do not need to do anything unless they ask you. You apply for ILR as normally and wait to hear back.

Re: ILR(Long Residence) eligibility concerning Exceptional Assurance

There are still some questions out there. Does the new rule apply to people who have already made their ILR applications under the long residence route? In the changes, it uses the term "qualifying period", but you refer to those Paragraph 39E periods as "unlawful", however, I am not sure whether t...

Re: Eligible period to ILR

When applying for ILR application, the date of ILR application is not important. You should apply before visa expiry and delay your biometrics until the date of ILR eligibility.

Re: ILR Application submition date and biometric date

1. You can start work for your employer the moment your visa is approved and on/after the starting date on your CoS. BRP is not important
2. Gaps in your employment do not affect ILR, only gaps in your visa are relevant
3. P45, P60, etc are not relevant or required for ILR
