For absence periods starting from 11 April 2024, the rolling calculation is done. So no more than 180 days in any 365-day period. That is all What about absences before 11 April 2024? As per the transitional arrangements, the old rule applies. So no continuous period of absence of more than 184 day...

Hi everyone, A very specific question: My parents have ILR but have been spending most of their time abroad to sort out some property/other issues for the last few years. But they have never been out of UK for more than two years and therefore retained their ILR. Based on new rules, it seems they n...

If we select NO, would they not find out that my husband is claiminin PIP and wouldn't this cause a problem later because they might say we didn't disclose this information? No. The question is used to determine the route for your eligibility as I explained. Also the fact that he is getting PIP is ...

Sorry CR001, I didn't knew how to start new thread as nothing is clear regarding Administrative Review Timeline. I know ILR is indefinite to leave remain. I have applied for Skilled worker visa which was approved but when I applied kids visa, got date wrong in their form and hence applied AR. So it...

Thanks Zimba.

The start job date was wrong in the child dependent application form

The problem is me and my partner got UK visa but kids have not and they are in Admin Review

The job date is irrelevant to a child's application. What was the reason given for refusal ? What form did you use ?

There is not enough clarification from the home office on these new changes, the rules certainly support your view but again it is still unclear. I suggest to remain on the safe side and follow the advice given historically on this matter

Can you provide more details regarding the refusal? Each case is unique and will have its own timeline. The UKVI tells you that: Currently, it can take 12 months or more to receive the result of the administrative review. If you do not get a decision on your application within 6 months, the Home Off...

SET(M) should NEVER be used by anyone (main or dependent) who is under the skilled worker route.
Apply using SET(O): https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk/product/set-o

Hi there, According to Skilled Worker caseworker guidance (Version 11.0) Due to major disruption to UKVI services during the COVID-19 pandemic, Tier 2 (General) and Skilled Worker applicants in the UK were permitted to start work for their sponsors while waiting for decisions on their applications....

Please help!! My application for ILR was withdraw because I travelled five days after submitting online. I had paid for priority services which was booked for the 31st May. I travelled on the 18th May to Spain and returned on the 20th May. I attended my biometrics appointment and nothing was said a...

You are raising a valid point. Under the long residence, you need to have spent 10 years lawfully in the UK. This is why historically the date of the first entry was used to calculate this accurately but the move to appendix continuous residence could imply that the long residence route is now broug...

If you had a single period of absence that was more than 184 days, then your lawful continuous residence is broken

If you were away for more than 2 years (Returning Resident visa) You lose your indefinite leave to remain if you’ve been outside the UK, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man for more than: •5 continuous years, if you have settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme (unless you’re a Swiss citiz...

For the long residence, the 10 years are counted backwards from the relevant date and you need 10 years of 'presence' in the UK. The long residence rule requires applicants to have at least 10 years continuous lawful presence in the UK before they can qualify for settlement. Paragraph CR 6.1. of App...

Hello there, We are applying for my wife's settlement using the 5 year route, and wondered if you could advise on something. When filling in the financial requirements we both meet them collectively, so on the application online, do we both declare the option x amount under the threshold? I'm assum...

There has never been such a thing as '28 day rule'. That is simply a UKVI concession which applies to all applications for ILR. This allows people to get ILR slightly earlier using this concession

DO they no longer ask if there are any further reasons to remain in the documents section on the application for ILR Set(m)? If you answer that question on the from, then the form will ask you to provide such evidence. The error is thinking you have to answer yes to that question. You do NOT need t...

Thank you Zimba for your post.
Actually , this is her third extension on family route.

Then there is no issue for her to apply as she has been under that route for more than 12 months

Hello, Based on the above question, i have submitted the evidence on 20th May, it has been more than 10 days and still haven't heard anything from UKVI. From experience, what is the approximate processing time after additional document request? Is there an email i can use for chasing the applicatio...

Did she switch to the family route in 2024 or she held a family visa before that? That requirement is poorly worded where you looked but in fact, this is about the time spent under the current immigration route , NOT the current visa. This is clear in the relevant guide: The applicant must also have...

DO NOT tag your question on other topics !
Any salary increase to enable an employee just to become eligible for ILR may be viewed as problematic

SET(O) is the correct form! All migrant works and their dependents must apply using form SET(O) only. The most common mistake I've seen is that people with dependant visas think because their spouse already has ILR or has since become a citizen, they should apply using the SET(M) form instead. That ...

No. Only the benefits and services listed in s115 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 and in paragraph 6 of the Immigration Rules are classed as public funds for immigration purposes which restricts access to mainstream benefits such as universal credit, housing benefit and child benefit. So it i...

Thank you for your reply. I checked the requirements and my child is eligible for this category. My question is regarding priority / Super Priority Services for child and parents. Kindly guide me for this. No, it is not possible to apply using priority service, under the child settlement route. htt...
