10 years long residence applications

walkingintherain wrote:Hello friends,
Just a quick overview of my situation.
Applied for ILR (10 yrs route) at Sheffield premium service two weeks ago. A letter was handed over to me stating that the application is valid but further checks will be carried out to get a decision & retrieve my passport from another department.
I had already applied for Tier 1 Extension about 8 months ago and the decision on that application was still pending at the time of application for ILR.
A week ago, they withdrew my Tier 1 Extension application, refunded my IHS surcharges, and sent me all the related documents with a letter stating that hence I apllied for ILR, this T1 application is no more valid & that they have forwarded my passport to the ILR department.
Just wanted to know how long it will take to get a decision & that will there be any checks related to my T1 application?

Applied for the wife's ILR visa on Long residence second week of september. Biometric done on last week of september. Still haven't gone anything back. I am aware that it is still within 6 months but was wondering if anybody else has heard anything who applied around the same time.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks

Application reached - Nov 2nd 2016
Biometrics invitation Letter - Nov 15th 2016
Biometrics given - Nov 16th 2016
Approved Letter/passports - 11 February 2017

Hope this time-line helps to some people

Thanks and regards

My time line;
Came to UK 2006 student route and psw
all took 8 years and a half
Spouse route on EEA for 1 year and a half.
Applied 26th of Sept 2016.
Received a letter 24 Jan 2017 for service of decision on 25th of January. Didn't attend as timing was too short. Contacted the home office to tell them I couldn't make it due to short timing and personal commitment and on 26th my ILR was approved and sent to me through post instead. All smiles!

I am filling SET LR forum and I am confused with 2 questions, please help me to clarify.



I arrived here on 10 March 2007 and I will apply to my my indefinite leave next week. My application will be with in with in 28 days of period qualified period so,


Q1) on the application form, question E13 asks, "How long have you lived in UK?", should I answer 9 years 11 month or 10 years 00 months? I am confused as I am applying within 28 day of qualifying period of 10 years.

Q2) question D3 askes "reason for short absence" , shall I just write reasons such as holiday, family visit, business trip etc. visa extension, is those good enough or ok reasons?

thank you in advance.

You need to write down the exact duration from the time you've lived in the country. Obviously since you're applying 28 days prior to completing your 10 years whcih is permissible, it will not be an issue but to be on the safer side you can write down this in the additional information on the form

Q2) question D3 askes "reason for short absence" , shall I just write reasons such as holiday, family visit, business trip etc. visa extension, is those good enough or ok reasons? Yes these reasons are fine. I wrote the same

thank you in advance.

i went for my 10 years Long Residence premium service and they retained my profile by saying that your application is Valid but we need more assistance. I specifically ask the case worker about exact reason and she said we need your old passports which are already holding by Home office in my last application of Tier 1 Entrepreneur and it was refused but i went for appeal.


Anyone knows how long they normally take to respond in that kind of case ?
Do you think my application has been approved but just becz of missing passports they hold it ??
I never been out of UK more then 80 days in my 10 years history

Does any one know waiting times of appeals in UK.

I sent request to immigration tribunal via local MP , stating medical urgency of parents who need me in Pakistan. I sent pictures , X-rays and medical reports of my father.
Today i received letter from Immigration tribunal caseworker who replied that my appeal cannot be expedited.

Reason of refusal was error in self assessment income.
