i have received phone call from my solicitor confirming that my ILR has arrived.
I WOULD LIKE TO PERSONALLY THANK EVERYONE IN THIS FORUM FOR ALL THE HELP THEY HAVE PROVIDED.

MY CASE WAS NOT STRAIGHT FORWARD, I HAD A GAP OF 91 DAYS IN TOTAL DUE TO PAYMENT NOT BEEN TAKEN FROM HOME OFFICE IN 2009 FOR MY TIER 4 APPLICATION. I REALISED IT SOON ENOUGH BEFORE APPLYING FOR MY ILR AND PREPARED MYSELF FOR IT.
I WILL TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT I DID TO PREVENT THE HOME OFFICE FROM REFUSING YOUR APPLICATION.

1. First of all i received my SAR report which told me exactly where my GAP was.
2. then i called my bank and asked them for my bank statement from that time when my visa was refused due to home office not been able to take the payment.
3. i highlighted the relevant time when home office should have taken the payment but they didn't to show that i had enough money in my account and it wasn't my fault.
4. then i went to a first tier tribunal judge who sits in London and gives consultant. he cost a lot but he gave me confidence that i have a possibility of winning it. (you don't have to do it)
5. then i went to my solicitor and gave all the papers to them.
6. they made the case and gave a reference of BASNET VS SSHD which is very good precedent for all the cases who have gap due to payment issues in past.

i received my documents today and the date on the letter was 7th feb.
please update the spreadsheet.

i will be checking my this account every week for any questions anyone have.

regards.

I have almost a same case have gap due to invalid application - Payment issue the only difference is I wasn't aware of this that the invalid application counts as a gap in your legal residence until I joined this forum.

So let see what will be the outcome of my application.

I was thinking of pulling my application back(applied last week) and need an ADVISE if that is the right thing to do. I'm currently on Tier 1 general and applied ILR on 10 years Long Residence. Now what I read on Forum about PBS dependent, which states that there period will reset if they will move to FLR(m).

The reason why Im thinking of pulling my application back is my wife with me for about 3 years 8 months and by the time my wife's PBS leave will expire's she will had only 5 months left to complete 5 years. If she goes on to FLR(M) route once I got my ILR on LR basis which makes her period reset completely and she have to stay another 5 years

My current leave is expiring in Feb 2016
She entered in UK in July 2011 as an PBS dependent

I fullfill all the requirements of SET(o) ILR 5 years (Allhamdullilah). Not sure how the future would be but when I applied for 10 years i thought her current stay will also counts for her and plus as the future was uncertain I thought get it what is coming first.

Please advise what should i do...really baffled

Thanks

After 2012 ruling, it looks like that dependents of the ILR (Long residence) will have only one option, to complete 10 years, regardless of how long before your spouse was ur dependent. On the other hand if you wait for another year to get your ILR through TIER 1 , ur wife can get the ILR same time, but I will never encourage that for a number of reasons including the possibility that you get fined by the court for whatever reason or the homeoffice bring other criteria in 2016. so my advice to you is this, get yourself sorted and for your wife explore the following two options:

1. Can you wife stay with you outside the UK get her ILR .
2. Contact the people here on the forum who were talking about the appeal for 2012 ruling, get in touch with them and support them.

Good luck.

Hi get green
Thanks for your reply, I didn't understand the point is why court can charge me fine? Is that because I'm withdrawing my application? I applied 5 days ago.I appreciate if you please explain ?

I didn't understand your option 1 at all, if I stay with my wife outside UK then she will get ILR(not sure if understand correctly)? Appreciate if you please explain me on this as well!

Thanks

SJ307 wrote:Hi,

I'm in similar situation. I'll apply for ILR (10yrs) in August 2015. My wife has been in the UK since Feb 2010. I know the fact that her clock will be set to zero when she get her FLR (M) (after I get my ILR). Alternatively, I can wait for another 2 years to apply as Tier 2 (5yrs). In that case, she'll get her ILR at the same time as me. But, I'm not going to go for the second option; simply because of the potential changes in the immigration rules. You never know what the Gov is up to. They bring some crazy new laws (such as the 5year wait for PBS dependents) to pretend they are tightening the grip on immigration; this is just an attempt to keep the opposition MPs quiet in the parliment.

Anyway, I think it is prudent to sort of your ILR at the earliest opportunity. This will make you feel (somewhat!) settled and give you peace of mind. Unless your wife needs to travel abroard regularly, waiting for another few years for her ILR is not going to harm the family in any other way, I suppose.

This are my thoughts, others may have different opinion. Please liaise with senior members who may have better advice.
