how up-to-date does it have to be?

i have one dated just a little less than 3 months..would it be acceptable?

can anyone more experienced enlighten on this ?

yes 10 years.

on long residency basis, are you likely to be rejected if you've spent more than 18 months during the time ?

anyone willing to share your case with me. Thanks

I visited PEO Croydon yesterday to get my ILR on the basis of long residence (10 years) in the UK. During the application checking process on the ground floor, the officer told me that I do not qualify for ILR because I once submitted extension application out of time. He told me that when my leave...

Chavva, if you had applied by post and got refused, you would have benefitted from Section 3C for 10 additional days while you lodged an appeal or another application. Try to see if Section 3C also covers refusals at the PEO and if not, then you can argue than a personal application at a PEO has un...

about to apply for schegen visa. anyone?

Has anyone taken the HO to JR in respect to the rule where residency is considered broken when one visa expired abroad?

and what was the outcome?

do they not have a guideline for the long residency rule?

anyone know if its normal to wait almost 40 days and still havent received the file?

i only received a confirmation letter a week after i sent off the requst. how long did you all have to wait?

some people could be reading a bit too much into the lines.

no its not a gap i 'd think. he renewed his visa before one expired.

Australia has a much fairer system. It was always points based and never let it self be a target of illegal immigrants. It has respect for the economic migrant - which UK is learning now. But as the PM (un-elect) needs some ratings he and his cronies are squeezing the easiest target - us. No one is...

the increase in cost of visa is to accommodate the rise in cost of public services and health services following the surge in the number of immigrants.

thats what the ministers say.

and by the way,

anyone know when the citizenship thing is going to be implemented? (increase from 1 year to x years)

British subject with right of abode in the united kingdom = people with ILR?

so you're saying his dad made an application of ILR without actually qualifying, thus has been rejected?

Can he not appeal?

plz comment if you're have knowledge on this matter.

Forget about your confusion. go back to the first thing i said to you.

usually you're given only 10 days of appeal time to lodge an appeal right after the outcome of your application. eh!?! Sorry, you are confusing me a bit now. So, appeal right is given if you have current leave to remain? no, after the home office refuse your ilr, they will tell you that you have 10...

can you appeal for it again when the leave to remain expires? or the initial refusal would have reset the clock?

I know. usually you're given only 10 days of appeal time to lodge an appeal right after the outcome of your application.

If your ILR is refused, you will stilll have your leave as a student so you won't need the right of appeal. If you feel your ILR may be refused, you are advised to seek immigration advice before you apply. Assuming I am eligible for ILR and wish to apply for it one year before my current leave expi...

if you think the home office decision on ilr is not appropriate and you aren't given right to appeal, what can you do ?

well i know.

can i curtail my leave on the student visa? and how can I do it?

thats what i wanna know.

I read it somewhere saying that IGS dosnt count towards settlement. Perhaps I misread it as it could have meant that it doesnt count towards the 5 years rule.
