If you have made an immigration application that also required you to apply for a biometric residence permit, and change your address at any time after you have received your biometric residence permit, and you think you are likely to be at the new address for at least 6 months, you must tell them, by completing a Migrant Change of Circumstances (MCC) form. Print and complete the form, and post it to the address shown on its front cover.sk77 wrote:Hi, I recently received my ILR on the basis of 10 years lawful residence.

Do the people with ILR also need to inform them every time they change their address? If yes then how to inform them?
Thanks

However, this is what is applicable for Points based Applicants. I presume you can use this form or you can use COA Form

3. yes
correction - not pre- July 2009 but it is pre-July 2012

Some of you might be wondering about the outstanding/pending timelines on sky drive so I thought I should give a little update. Well, don't know about the rest, but I'm still here. Yes, July 18 2012 applicant!
I've been quite depressed in the last week or two so I decided not to check the goings on on this forum so often and its probably gone the trick. Naturally one feels a bit jealous when things are moving for everyone else but them, especially when they were first on queue. I'm much better now, although I must say I still check the postman's every move everyday.
You might recall that I was upbeat about getting the MP involved 3 weeks ago. Unfortunately it didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. They thought I shouldn't have applied when I did even though I had qualified 5 months before then. There is nothing in the rules to suggest I shouldn't have. The reason being 1.I still had 9 months leave to remain and the UKBA rightly prioritized those whose leave was expiring before mine 2. I can still apply and qualify for an extension as my wife's dependent and be granted Discretionary Leave, in which case I would have had to wait until April 2013. Honestly, how many of us would wait?
So now besides writing the secretary of state and her chief executive, there really is no other option left but wait. I have a feeling they might give the same response and my fear is I'd be risking my application being pushed further down the pile.
In short, I'm still here and the woes won't go away. Happy waiting!

Hwima was unlucky... I mean we all are unlucky to wait these long long periods but Hwima was really really really unlucky...
Sorry Hwima I didn't know how to describe it... you know how it goes... you need a bit of wit when you feeling low... Have a bit of whiskey or something....
and secondly..do write to the home secretary .. just in case you will find some luck ... ombudsman is an other option ... just do it in your spare time you might find luck...and who knows they might reimburse your whole fees
Why do you think you should vary her application ? And if so what do you think you'd vary it to? Secondly, what visa was she on previously? If she was granted a dependant visa prior to 9 July 2012, then she should be fine. However, if this is the first time she's applied as your dependant, then yes she'll have to satisfy Financial requirement.lemehunt wrote:Hi I have been a silent reader, I got my ILR under 10 year rule on 7/05/2013 and I applied for my wife using FLR(M) on 4/3/2013. Now dilemma is shall I apply for variation of leave for my wife or wait for FLR(M) result.
Secondly I am not sure if she falls under new rules of Financial requirements.
i don't believe in luck . Anyway my friend who came one year before me he also applied for ilr last year . It took him 10 months . It sound like you had a complicated visa history . But it is ridiculous that we have to wait for so long just for a application to sort out for them . Even third world is faster then this . I couldn't go to my country for last 4 years and miss my family friends . Now God knows how long i have to wait . I will pray for ur progress and others who are waiting .Hwima wrote:Hi jony_Dhakajony_dhaka wrote:Hi could you please write clearly that is there any problem in your 10 year in uk ?? was you application is straight forward ?? i have a visa until september 2013 but i have complied my 10 year in uk march 2013 .so i applied . do you think my one will be late as well ?? !Hwima wrote:Hi all

To be honest I don't think my application is straight forward. BUT I strongly believe I did not breach any immigration rules at any one time because I took my time (5 months) after qualifying to consider if they had cheap grounds to deny me before I paid the £991 (that was all the savings we had). My lawyer also agreed, although I carried on with the application myself for I couldn't afford their fee. The other day I was counting the number of times I had to renew in the first 7 yrs, 8 times. They never liked me that much, at one time sending my application in for visa/leave extension 3 times in a yr.
Just rotten luck I suppose, perhaps there is a unfavourable note on my file. Who knows? But then again, I'm here ain't I?
I'm confident you won't get as bad a treatment as I. Good luck on your quest.
Unfortunately, she cannot go for SET(M) without switching to FLR (M) where the main applicant has been granted ILR based on 10 yr LR Route. However, there have been instances in the past where few applicants managed to get their SET(M) processed without switching to FLR (M) but then this was pure luck as some members who tried the same failed to convince the CW. Also, I need to warn you that this was a possible trial at PEO.lemehunt wrote: Actually my wife has been on Work Permit (old style) dependent visa since April 2008 and I applied her FLR(M) on 4/3/2013, just wondering if I can vary her leave to SET(M) while her application is still in process, she has already done her biometric. As my solicitor is going nuts, Please advice

I also have a 4 month old daughter born in the UK . There is also another important issue which I want to bring to your attention and that is a one big 7.5 months gap in my stay which has happenned only as a result of me being stranded in Saudi Arabia due to a grave clerical error caused by Saudi immigration authorities and the whole process taking around 5 months to get resolved which normally takes a mere 5 days . I used to visit Saudi Arabia every year for 10-14 days to gain an exit-re-entry Visa where my parents are based but due to some sudden changes in saudi immigration laws together with an administrative error from the saudi authorities, I couldnt even manage to exit the country without gaining a final exit visa which was only secured after 5 months long struggle with the saudi immigartion authorities. I have all the relevant paperwork as evidence which is why I was hoping to apply for SET (LR) straight away as I can foresee a rejection due to this ..saanju9 wrote:
I think few days ago Daminisshallo suggested this option... And he also had an example.. So it is better to have an advice from him..coz I am not 100% sure

Your Kind advise is very much awaited......Thank you
Continuous residence is considered to be broken if the applicant has:
been absent from the UK for a period of more than 180 days at any one time, or is absent from the UK for a shorter period but does not have valid leave to enter the UK on their return, or valid leave to remain on their departure from the UK
spent a total of 540 days outside the UK throughout the whole 10 year period. Time spent outside the UK
Continuous residence is not considered broken if the applicant:
is absent from the UK for 180 days or less at any one time, and had existing leave to enter or remain when they left and when they returned – this can
include leave gained at port when returning to the UK as a non visa national, see related link: Information for non-visa nationals.
If the applicant had existing leave to enter or remain when they left and returned to the UK, the existing leave does not have to be in the same category on departure and return. For example, an applicant can leave the UK as a Tier 4 (General) student and return with leave as a spouse of a settled person. Continuous residence is not broken as the applicant had valid leave both when they left and returned to the UK.
If an applicant was in the UK with a right to reside under European Economic Area (EEA) regulations when they left the UK and was re-admitted under the EEA regulations, continuous residence is not broken.
Thank you very much for the above but we all know the obvious. I dont know if you have also read the exercise of discretion bit in the same document.......and also a brand new PDF from Home office about calculating continuous residence and exercise of discretion which goes as follows:
Absences of more than 180 days in each consecutive 12 month period preceding the date of application (in all categories) will mean the continuous period has been broken. However, consideration may still be given to granting indefinite leave to remain (ILR) outside the rules if evidence is provided to show the excessive absence was due to serious or compelling compassionate reasons.
Evidence, in the form of a letter from the applicant setting out full details of the compelling reason for the absence and supporting documents must be provided.
Absences in excess of 180 days in any 12 month period for employment or economic activity reasons are not considered exceptional.
Discretion will only be applied as authorised at senior executive officer (SEO) level.
This would actually had been more relevant to the query I had and someone else who might have a similar plight. Anyways Thanks

is there any article/rule for this so that i can highlight it or write a covering letter to them when i go for PEO.
She can apply for SET(M) anytime from now as she's completed 2 yrs of qualifying period and that her previous stay was on a route to settlement she shouldn't be affected with the changes brought in April 2013.mmakhan wrote:how can i still apply set m for my wife straight after flr m i was not aware of statement of change and i booked her appointment to go in person and apply SET M next week now i think i have to handover my case to a solicitor..

my wife is with me since 2008 as a psw dependent than 3 years as a teir 1 general dependent she has been granted her flrm on 21/05/2013 for 2 and half years.

it will be a very big help for all of us who are in same situation like me if you could make a template for set m aswell how you have made templates previously which am sure most of us have used.mmakhan wrote:Damanisshallo wrote:mmakhan wrote:how can i still apply set m for my wife straight after flr m i was not aware of statement of change and i booked her appointment to go in person and apply SET M next week now i think i have to handover my case to a solicitor..
