Guys come on,

I know many of you should have got approvals today (mainly September applicants). So please share the good news with us and update the tracker.

We should at least see 6 or 7 approvals today and so far we have none :oops: ..

@maddy I see the tracker is updated for your approval, does that mean you have got the approval or as usual some idiot is messing up?

Hello Amir

I applied 2 weeks before you and last week I called HO and I got the same answer as yours . I put questions and answers I made with HO and asked for help on this forum to understand the outcome of my conversation but regret to say that nobody bothered to do so. Was really disappoiting. I dont know brother what say?. Just pray and wait. May the Almighty bless us with success soon . Amen

@immi, As far I know if your wife is here in UK more then five years on dependent visa of Tier then she is eligible for ILR on Set (O). She need to Pass B1 and Life in UK.
Send your application first once you got your done. Then apply for same service for her ILR. I have already consulted with two solicitors about this matter. You can consult aswell for your satisfaction.

Thanks

Wrong advice. The rules are changed since April last year and any time spent before that will not be counted. She need to apply FLR (M) and will need to spend five years so to apply for her ILR. Unless she qualifies for 10 years long residence in her own rights before 5 years of FLR(M).
Hope this helps

Get a advice from solicitor as my I am going to apply for my wife through solicitor. As he said to me she is already your dependent for more then 8 years then she dont need apply for FLR (M). As she is here before July 2012. This law only for july 2012 to cover your 5 years on dependent.

@immi,mate if your wife has a uk degree then she is not required to do B1.i am pretty much sure she only needs A1 at the moment for the flr(m) but at the time of set lr whenever she becomes illegible she would also required life in the uk plus B1 if she has not got a uk degree or a degree which has been taught in english.Courses details are available on the HO website.

@immi,mate the safest date for your to apply is the 2nd of march which is probably monday if you have not got any problem with your leave to remain means its not going to expire on that date.do not let your application to get refused with one or two days delays as there are lots of inexperience people deals when the applications comes inn the HO.

@dec,he must fall within the 28 days rules and his application must not refused especially on these rules but he must be confident that he never had troubled in the past 10 years and he is meeting all the other criteria for the application.this is a very tricky question and the HO himself are not been able to fully define the rule as some times there are cases been refused and many times cases got approvals.one thing is clear that he will be count an overstayer because he is gonna make an out of time application and as for as my little knowledge is concerned any out of time application is not protected under 3c or 3d and your friend must declare when the form ask about have you ever been overstayer?but you could also consult with some good solicitor,in general your friend is covered under 28 days rules and he should be fine.

@amerabbas,mate i could guarantee that you are still not alone on the boat as many of us are on the same boat.i called yesterday and i have been given the same answer.just calm down and pray for yourself and as well as for all of us.we could never ever get satisfied the way HO gives us reply and the best thing is not to bother them of just once a week is fine.

@nazar,mate i appreciate you have put your conversation on the forum you had with HO but there is difference between asking for a query or sharing your experience on the forum.if i make a call to HO and and the other hand tell me that my app is still under process then i will only share my call experience on the forum as i know exactly what is meant by under process or under consideration.once again apologies if you have been ignored on the forum.

@ Maddy you're quite - all okay?


@mazeen1910 ...Discrepancy in the information provided is just because some experinced satff knows what they are doing and dig deep and give more info then others ...... yes october applicants must have started as I expected the last week of jan they will start anyways ...

Now there are quite few sep applicants waiting ..... yes they should get their decesions soon its just that some lazy case workers sit on some applications for long time .......while some finish the work start taking more apps ;-)




Hi All, Called home office today , lady on the phone confirmed after checking the system that they are still looking into September case. October cases are not started yet. She said they get updates every Monday regard application schedule. thought I share.
