Hi,

No, I haven't applied to ILR under ECAA. This option does not exist for ECAA employed.

I have applied on 10 years long residence when my 10 years was up.

very interesting. i did a very similar FOI request asking similar questions and they refused to reply. but are you sure these stats relate to Turkish Employed applications? as the word 'BUS' suggests they might relate to turkish businessperson applications which lead to ILR anyway. i will check with ...

Turkish employed ECAA person may get ILR referring to below data Total number of ECAA ILR applications despatched between 31/12/2012 - 31/12/2013 Case Type Outcome Rounded Number of Cases BUS under EC Association Agreement - ILR Granted 960 BUS under EC Association Agreement - ILR Refused 55 BUS ...

hello, sorry about the late response but i think you misunderstood- i havent made an ilr application but i know a solicitor who has done it for someone else i dont know. but i am in contact with this solicitor who will let me know the outcome. as far as i know it is still at high court waiting for a ...

Yes, I am looking forward to hearing a positive outcome from the high court as well. I will post any updates here. Also, there is someone else in the same situation considering applying in person in one the PEOs with SET(O) and ticking ‘Other purposes/reasons not covered by other application forms’ ...

Hi All of my story is above if you read it- basically I have applied in Sep12 for my ECAA Turkish Employed extension but also attaching a covering letter with all the references you see in the trail above requesting ILR- my covering letter was ignored and I only got another extension. In the ...

Ged,

i wonder what happened with your application- how did you apply- was it successful?

Another question: Assuming that I have my passport back with leave on time for early december but not the BRP. Would i have any problems travelling back to the UK from India without my BRP but just with my passport endorsed with leave? Do the airline staff need to see your BRP as well as your ...

I have managed to get through to the ECAA Turkish team via an email address i found on a previous letter that came back from UKBA with a previous extension. I had email exchanges with the ECAA Turkish team and on one of them the person- I think accidentally included his signature with his details. I ...

Hi I have applied for an extension under ECAA1- Turkish Employed on 20/08/2012 received letter inviting for biometrics in the post office around 10 days after, gone and did the biometrics and still waiting. My previous extensions under the same ECAA1 Turkish Employed 1 year and 3 years ago has not ...

I am not convinced that is correct. Even within the EU there can be differences in the application of law, although generally once leave is granted discrimination between European citizenships is no longer allowed. They key problem with this argument is that you do not have a European citizenship ...

hi, does anyone know if waiting times for all applications have been affected by the London 2012 olympics? i have heard that there is big backlog and the HO have directed all or some applications to a hold off because apparently some millions have applied to see the olympics? does anyone know any ...

I m not an expert but since '' rule is a rule in the uk" i do not reckon you have a chance of getting ILR since it states that ECAA1 does not lead to permanent settlement. If i were you I would not spend my money on this awkward situation. I have one quick question. Can you switch into ECAA1 if you ...

Hello, I am dealing with a similiar issue. After having worked 2.5years under Tier2 I switched my visa into ECAA1 six months ago without knowing the limitations on the UK settlement. Recently I got a new job and I am applying to extend my stay under Tier2 again for my new job. Apparently it is not ...

thanks, I am aware it may take a long time if it goes to court. Do you know if this is implemented the same way in other EU countries as in Turkish Employed and businesspersons are subject to different rules in terms of settlement? This may be a good point to argue if its different elsewhere in the ...

thank you for your comments. i think (although i am not 100% on this) the solicitior's argument is that because PR is a status gained through EU directives, it cannot discriminate between citizens of different countries and all should be subject to same rights. also bear in mind that ECAA2 Turkish ...

can anyone help please with some comments on this case being successful?

many thanks

thanks sushdmehta for your reply. i didnt mean this has got anything to do with the Turkish law but only the EC regulations. i suppose the solicitor meant I may have a chance PR under EC regulations rather than ILR. i will confirm that with him. do you think this case has a chance for PR under EC ...

Hi all I need some advice around ECAA1-Turkish employed and indefinite leave to remain. It is a bit of an unusual case and any help from gurus,experienced people and people in the same situation is much appreciated. Let me give you my immigration history first before going into specifics. September ...

many thanks for the info. so, if i understand correctly. the first indent (first 2 years of ecaa):states work place(this is what i have now), but the 2nd indent(3rd year) doesnt state ?job title or job type? and the third indent(4th year onwards) is similar to the 2nd indent? if this is correct ...
