Thanks for reffering to the post which is understandable but my question is that I will be the main migrant and I have not got any job or regular income as I am about to finish my PhD and my wife is not working as well so in this case I cannot show a regular income but can I show my bank statement for maintenance allowance for my wife application on FLR M if yes how much and for how many months.

Thanks

Hi Shahab99

The trouble is a lot of readers of this thread are SET O applicants who haven't reached that stage yet hence they have no relevant info on this matter. However, by chance there may be one or two experiencing the same issue and can help but I still think you may have better luck in FLR M threads. Good luck.

Contacted MP who in turn contacted UKBA on my behalf and this is the reply which UKBA sent them.

Thank you for your enquiry, please accept my apologies for the delay in responding.

Applications are processed in strict date order depending on when they were received. I have been advised that applications made on form SET(O), such as Mr Najeebs, that were received towards the end of March/beginning of April are currently being passed for consideration. Mr Najeeb made his application on 22 August.

I am unable to put a timeframe on when a decision will be made on his case as that will depend on the number of applications ahead of him in the queue.

Kind regards,

MP Account Manager Team

That is an utter bull,... From UkBA as people with complex immigration history who applied on August got the decision before than the one who applied on April without any complications as regards to immigration history and convictions.

Hi everyone!
I was wondering if there is anyway to find out your immigration history report in writing from ukba before applying for long residence ILR in order to make sure there are no gaps or anything different than we expect?

I want to ask if someone have a gap of 10 days during one of the extensions in 10 years ,meaning if ones visa ran out on 30 of dec and he applied 9 days late and got visa issued on 30th of february so will he still be elegible for an ilr as the home office guidance notes state that this will
constitute a long gap of more than 10 days.
plz help[.

constitute a long gap of more than 10 days. The date of application will be taken into account to see the gap not date of decision so it will be fine with 9days gap which essentially means no more than 10 days out of time application.

[farhad34]

Thansk for your reply, grace .I have read in case worker notes on ukba site that states that the gap will count from the date the visa expires to the date at which the next visa is issued.

[Graceofgod]

Thansk for your reply, grace .I have read in case worker notes on ukba site that states that the gap will count from the date the visa expires to the date at which the next visa is issued.

section 3c extends your stay from the date of application so the date of decision is irrelevant to assess the gap in your lawful stay. I have got the similar gap of 6 days and i am confident that it will be disregarded as per the IDI.

Sorry guys, different topic but posting as a reply as my original message won't appear.

Hi All,

My passport has been away for over 5 months now and I just received a call from home that my Mum is extremely unwell and they are taking her to hospital. I know getting passport back from the home office will be a long wait and I don't have that much time. Can please anyone tell me, the ways in which I could travel back to India? I might be able to get some travel documents from the Indian High Commission (may be I am not sure) but how would I get my passport back?

Please could anyone suggest? I will really appreciate your swift response.

[kebl303]

I think you can not get on international flights without a passport. I'm not sure about the Indian high commission, but they won't give you new documents unless the previous ones are lost, damaged or have expired. There is another person who had a family emergency, probably look 10 or more pages back, and what most people suggested is to just keep waiting and hope IRL comes soon. If you ask for your passport back, it might take anything from 2 week to 2 months to get it back. Plus, you will have to apply and pay again. You can ask your MP to help, but no guarantees there.

[Pari_in_kwest]

Thanks for your reply. I really appreciate it. I find UKBA policies really unfair and lopsided. We spend thousand of pounds and this is the service we receive. I am not sure why do we have to accept their policies that create so much stress and put people's lives on hold. Why can't we sign a petition with the help of charity organisations such as migrant network etc. It seems I will have to wait to get my passport back. PR is not as important as family probably this is what UKBA wants to hear anyway.

[sunny0183]

Can someone in the know confirm?

Follow this FOI to get first hand confirmation. If this is true then it would compensate the wait for a few.

Here is an answer given back in 2010 for a similar type of request

In general terms, we would expect to exercise discretion where the delay was due to failings on UKBA’s part. Examples of this might be where there had been delays in dealing with the case due to an increased volume of applications, or the file being with another part of UKBA. If, however, the delays were due to the applicant not responding to correspondence, or sending incorrect documentation which resulted in further enquiries, we would not exercise discretion on this basis.

@Pari_in_kwest,

Any immigration application/s submitted with in the United Kingdom, bounds the applicant to be present through out the whole period of the application.

Even if you some how you travel outside the UK, using emergency travel document, 2 things will happen:
1) Your application with UKBA will deemed to be invalid automatically.
2) You won't be able to return back to UK for a long time and your ILR clock may reset.

Try to get some medical records/Doctor's letter from back home and submit them with a letter to expedite your application under exceptional circumstances.

I hope your mom gets better soon.

[Pari_in_kwest]

@sPiDeRy_tHrEaD

Thanks for your email. You are right I may have to withdraw the application, and it might take a couple or more weeks for them to return my passport.

I spoke to Indian High Commission and they said they can provide emergency travel documents. This would mean I would have to cancel my current passport. I would then have to apply for a new passport and visa in India and restart the process upon my return. Also, what's more unacceptable is that emergency travel documents take 2 months. This all so shyte (excuse my language).

Thanks for your wishes too. I do hope my mum get's better. I have requested a letter from doctor who is treating her but he has refused to add the contents I am requesting such as: she is chronically ill, which she is and that the children should be beside her. The three group of professionals who have disppointed me in this whole process are doctors, lawyers and accountants.

[Spidery_thread]

If you are lucky, you may get a reply within these 2 months, and get a BRP, passport is just a suppliment with the application.

Make an appointment with your local MP, see him/her personally and make the request based on the circumstances so that the MP writes to CE of the UKBA on your behalf to expedite your application.

Best of Luck.

[Pari_in_kwest]

Thanks, just spoke to the local government who sounded supportive. They said they will write to the Home Office on my behalf but I am still waiting for the Doctor's certificate from India before the MP could arrange to send a letter to the Home Office.
