Re: Passports not returned by UKVI

Not sure why you sent your passports to UKVI.

Did you apply online?

Where did you enroll your biometrics, at UKCVAS?

No original documents are sent to UKVI anymore.

Re: Date for ILR application for FLR 5 year

You are overthinking. Different visa categories have different forms with different questions!!

Re: Date for ILR application for FLR 5 year

Applications and rules differ depending on the visa a person holds. It is not a one size fits all.

You should only be following official websites, rules or guidance, not YouTube!!

Re: Long Residence - Contradicting rules and guidance wording

Would be very grateful if you can let me know of any successful application as this is my key issue! Can confirm a successful application. ILR long residence, in the country since 2012, absences between May 2014 and May 2024 above 700 days. No single absence above above 184 days, and no absences in...

My last question is: I obtained settled status on May 2019. 5 years of lawful residence has passed since then. I need to wait 1 more year because one requirement for British citizenship is 5 years of continuous residence and 12 months after obtained settled status. So total 5+1 years. Thank you all...

Re: ILR rejected when applied 28 days before

What I will do now ,

You have to reapply and pay again on the correct form.
is there any way that they can amend the application
No there is not.

Not sure but you might get a refund of the application fee. Not sure you will get the super priority fee back though.

Re: ILR rejected when applied 28 days before

You applied using the wrong form.

As a Skilled Worker Dependent, you must apply using form SET(O) and NOT form SET(M).

The form is determined by the visa category you hold, not your ILR spouse status.

Re: ILR rejected when applied 28 days before

What is your visa route EXACTLY?

First visa and any visa extensions?

What is your spouse's immigration history for the UK?

The email says you have not spent 5 years on Spouse Settlement visa (FLR M), which is why we are asking what your exact full immigration history is.

Did you arrive in the UK on a 2 year 9 month spouse visa or on a 6 month Fiance visa?

You have also been asked to provide all visa start and end dates etc. Your FULL immigration hisotry.

Your ILR qualifying period starts from the date you entered the UK on a spouse visa (not a fiance visa), not the visa issue date. Super priority, if available, is at the payment of the application page stage. Please do not ask citizenship questions in the ILR sub forum. There is a separate sub forum...

Is she on a Spouse visa, ie are you British?

She applies on FLR(M), same form she would have applied for previous extension, provided she/you meet all the requirements.
