Dear All Moderators

I need your help to vary my application from out of time application flr fp tp set lr.
I am going to peo in 2 weeks time. I would be submitting my application by myself. you guys have help lots of people and i am looking forward for your support for next 2 weeks.

my immigration history in short:-
I entered UK on 4th Sep 2006(followed by tier4, psw and tier2)
FLR FP applied on 7th Jan 2016
FLR FP refused on 24 May 2016 (No in country appeal right )
Fresh FLR FP application made within 28 days on 20th June 2016
Eligible for ILR on 8th August 2016(Prior to 28 days)
My Question is:-
1. Can i vary my out of time flr fp application at window?.
2. Do i need to mention about my out of time application in cover letter?.
3. am i still lawful in the country to qualify for ILR?
4. As i dont have valid leave so can i still go to window 28 days prior to my 10 years.
5. Do i need to mention in my cover letter about considering discretion in my case.

Hope moderators or senior members can help me. That would be really appreciated.

Many thanks

PSC appointments aren't for complex applications as the Case Workers are of a junior level and don't have the authority to make a decision on the day.
At best it will be referred to a senior Case Worker for verification and will join the postal queue at the premium fee, or it could be refused without referral at the PSC.
Where is your passport at present?
The HO have begun to refuse visas for applicants who have made (in their words) 'frivolous and vexatious' applications in order to buy time to reach LR.

Hi Casa

Thanks for reply
My passport is with home office. I have serious human rights issues but unfortunately home office refused without in country appeal right.
My 10 years have been very good but unfortunately just before 2 months i got refused.

I know that i don't have good chance but just want to do the right thing moving forward.

Many Thanks

Then apply by post. This won't be decided at a PSC due to the complexity of your case and the fact that your passport is with the Home Office.

Section 7 - When you can't use the service includes:
someone whose case is complex because of personal circumstances

i dont see what basis you can apply for ilr (LR) when you dont have a current leave and have not completed 10 years. from what i see, you are 9 months short of 10 years..

OP entered the UK in Sept 2006. Why do you say 9 months short?

@CR001
Since the OP visa expired and his LTR application turned down in Jan, he is currently in appeal process and not have a valid leave.. unless the decision is overturned, how can he apply for LR when he doesnt have a leave?
Obviously, i am not good at this stuff and might be wrong.

You probably intended this for me, not CR001? I agree, which is why I have advised not to apply through the PSC. However, the OP has submitted a FLR(FP) application, not an appeal.

sorry, my bad.. must have confused with another post.
I think having a new application in, rather than an appeal is even worse. If the OP is being honest, he had no basis for FLR (FP) initially and not when he applied again.. Him thinking that with application and when refused another application will take him pass 10 years, is just him fooling himself.. Hence as per my original post that OP has 9 months short of 10 years and wont be eligible for LR. what do u think?>

Hi iworker

Thanks for your reply.
I never said that I had no basis of flr fp, infact I have very strong human rights ground. Unfortunately I did not get appeal right. Even second flr fp sent with example and evidence, which could support our human right grounds.

I haven't received my bio letter yet and planning to vary it in 2 weeks time.

Thanks

sorry i shouldnt have said u didnt have a reason to apply FP.
However, how would varying the application help, when you do not have a current leave. your last leave was till Jan and since then you do not have leave. Or at least that is what i think

Thanks

I'm almost on the edge of despair with posters tagging on to others' threads, I've no idea what relates to what mostly now especially as my attention span is dwindling nowadays....

Maybe three strikes and out scheme, no exceptions because it is becoming a real issue for me certainly, with several threads on the one thread frequently.

No slur on the mods, they are doing a sterling job unpicking this stuff, but they shouldn't have to do it in the first place if posters would exhibit some common decency.

Hello Everyone

As I have mentioned early in my other post that my ILR has been approved.
I would need your help to understand my wife's application now.

I and my wife applied two different application of FLR FP in June. I varied my application to ILR and her application is still pending. Now my questions are:-

1. Do I need to send my passports and BRP card copies or originals? (I need my documents until I sign my new job contract)

2. Do I need to vary my partner FLR FP application or just send the section 7 family file as a partner?

3. She was my dependent before my tier 2 visa was curtailed in January this year. What type of application do I need to send for my partner.? Is it existing FLR FP or any other application?

Hope all moderators can help me with this.

I would like to thanks, all moderators once again to create this forum as I mentioned earlier on the other topic.

Big Thanks once again

Singh21,

Congratulations to you on your ILR approval.
You have scaled through the hardest part.
In my view concerning your dependant, you have to vary her application using FLR(FP), fill out Section 7 (family life as a partner). Do not use FLR(M) because you have to show the mandatory maintenance fee of more than £18,000/year.

Please I need your help too. I am in the same situation as yours.
1. I want to vary my application from FLR(FP) to SET(LR) in April 2017.
2. Is it appropriate to use PSC being that I was overstayed within 28days after my in-time 2ND tier appeal was refused while my application still pending?

Please I need to talk to you. My email: Email removed by moderator
Thanks

Suggest re-read the forum T&Cs and get up to speed on what you can and cannot post on the forum. Final warning.
