long residence - queries

Hi admin,

This is regarding ILR for ICT visa prior to April 2011.

my scenario : came in sep 2010 in ict and staying since then till now, current visa expires in March 2021.
on long residence iam eligible in aug 2020.

However
1. My wife came in 2010 sep as a dependent on my ict visa
2013 July 3rd she went back and came back in 2014 September 1st.
There was a break of 18 months(6+9) due to health issues. She has been staying without a break since Sep 2014.

2. if I would apply ilr on long residence from aug 2010 to aug 2020, then as a dependant my wife also has to stay 10 years since 2010

But there was a break of 6+9 months in 2013/2014. hence I believe she has to wait till 2024 for ILR on the basis of long term residence . is it correct or will she checked only last 5 years once I get ILR this year

Hence from ict , i will move to Tier 2 general in august and then apply ILR after that. is this case valid?

if apply ilr on basis of tier 2general, this year itself both will be eligible for ILR. she will be checked only last 5 years from aug 2020. is this true?


Kindly clarify me
Thanks in advance

I assume your initial visa was issued after 6th Of April 2010, so time spent under that route cannot be used to get ILR under Tier 2 at all. You need either 5 years under Tier 2 General or apply under long residence. Your wife must switch to family route FLR(M) after your ILR and wait until 2024 when she can apply for long residence on her own.

Many thanks for your reply, much appreciated.

1. My wife has a genuine case which was a health issue hence she couldn't come back between July 2013 to Aug 2014, can we try applying for her on 10 years long residence on the exception circumstance

1. my son born in India in July 2007, my daughter also accompanied us in Aug 2010 and staying since then till now. her visa expires in 2021. but she also couldn't come back as she accompanied her mother in the above period 2nd July till Aug 2014

can I apply 3 applications together on long residence way (mine 10 years long residence, no gap)
my wife (absence of 15 months due to health issues), child (gap of 15 months similar to mother )?

Discretion for absences under long residence is exercised very rarely. Long residence is an individual application where one has to apply on their own and qualify on their own. There is no concept of a dependant. Each of you should apply separately under long residence if you qualify.

Children born outside the UK follow the immigration path of the less privileged parent unless they qualify under long residence on their own. Alternatively, such children can settle immediately via SET(F) if and only if both parents hold ILR.

Your wife does not qualify under long residence as she does not have the continuous residence, so she should switch to FLR(M) and wait until 2024. The children will follow her immigration path if they cannot get ILR under long residence on their own. If your wife applies under long residence, UKVI most likely refuses her ILR and will offer her limited leave to remain under 10-year family route.

Dear admin,
first of all much appreciated and thanks a lot for helping people who are having questions in this immigration board. Hats off!

Kindly assist me for my few queries :
1. am due for ILR on 10 years route on 1st August 2020.
Can any one kindly send me the complete list of documents that are required to submit ILR.
2. do i need to submit address proofs for all 10 years? or last 2 years sufficient

3. I have a joint account with my wife . in order to prove that both are staying in same address, can i submit bank statement for 2 years (48 months) of me and wife bank letters (joint account addressing both names). will that sufficient for this query - 'If your spouse is in UK, please provide evidence of cohabitation with your spouse for up to two years'

4. Can i wait for super prioirty same day appointment or submit a standard application. becuase i heard even standard application is bit fast nowadays.

5. In case if i want to go India urgently(due to covid situations back home for any emergency) can i withdraw the application after biometrics, in that case will i get my fee back? My current visa expires on march 8 2021.

Thanks again for your support

1. All passports over the last 10 years, LIUK, English language
2. No such evidence is ever required
3. Long residence has nothing to do with your spouse. NO such evidence is required
4. There is no super-priority, you only have one option
5. No refunds will be given in that scenario

It may be possible to obtain a refund only if the biometrics were not submitted

3. if i apply for standard and before i submit biometircs, if home office opens superiority, can i cancel this exact one and immediately the next day can i apply for super priority. ? is there any upgrade option

one question is bit confusing in the 10 year long residence

Do you have any other reasons for wanting to stay in the UK? (Required)

My 2 children are studying here in primary and secodnary school. My youngest son born in Uk. My children's education will be affected and they will struggle to adjust and adapt to live outside the UK. I'd like to stay here on the basis of 10 years ong residency and commitment to my full-time permanent job and the social life I've established here.

The above answer demonstrate how you have integrated and established life in UK - children schooling, employment, social life. Even though not much but would say it suffice as per your reality.

Dear Admin,

Good day! Many thanks for the Swifty replies and assisting lot of people. Well done!

Would you please help in the below query for long residence applciaiton. iam slightly confused what is the best response to give


1. Are you part of any social groups or do you have other cultural ties in your country of birth, nationality or any other country where you have lived for more than 5 years?


In my view, the answer could be
No
becuase
I spent most of my time in UK in the last 10 years. My family and 3 children with me where i have my 3rd child born in UK 2 years ago. also I have cultural and solcial ties in the UK as I feel comfortable and confident to relate with UK culture. During my long years of residence in the UK my ties to home country are greatly diminished.

please correct me if am wrong or the best way of giving answer to this

Many thanks again, have a wonderful day
