Hi I'm making the last visa extension for my wife, who was granted LTR under 10 years Partner route in 2013. I have chosen the FLR(FP) form and have added all the information ( including details of 3 children who are British citizens by birth ). I'm now at the stage of paying the NHS surcharge, but ...

In terms of benefits, we get child benefits and tax credit that's on joint name. When we applied many years ago, we did mention she was subject to immigration control. She does not have recourse to public funds < and what i understand from this is that she can't apply for any benefits within her nam...

My wife was working and we did sent payslips along children british passports + lots of documentation from every where just to prove we are living together.

If it's an extension then it should be fairly easy but waiting time is shocking.

We submitted in October 2016 and got 2.5 year visa in Jan 2018.

Waiting times are long, stay strong

Hello, My wife received 2.6 years leave to remain under family route but it expired in July 2016 and we did not find out until we went to bank to apply for mortgage.

Sent them everything 10 days ago, case worker spent a few hours on documents, approved on 27/03

I think case worker has not established my stay history in the UK properly. My whole family claimed asylum, parents and siblings at the same time. Throughout the 8 years journey, we all face same circumstances e,g appeals refused, fresh claims and finally granted ILR october 2008 under legacy rules ...

They have sent me questionnaire to fill that asks the history from 2001-2008 where was i living and with who ( With family ) who was responsible for paying bills ( NASS ) who was paying utility bills ( NASS ) Where did i study Im not ...

My Parents, brother, sisters all applied for citizenship in 2011 and got it without any issue. We all received ILR at the same time.

If they can grant ILR based on immigration history, why this strange issue now?

but i was on asylum, going to HO every week to show them my face, stayed legal within their policies.

If i was illegal or didn't comply with immigration rules, why did they grant me ILR?

On second hearing, we tried to proove that there was a " Material of law " which first judge ignored but senior judge dismissed the appeal saying " he could not ...
