apologies for repeating myself..this is becasue all of my threads are locked and I am annoyed that I hv to open new as much as u r.

not sure posting on behalf if other is such a crime..my friend is a super-busy business person, and I am knowledge-seeking person with all the time in the world...what is the harm in seeking help in this forum where I had been doing so for 5 years ? please allow me to continue...

here is the case once again, I will really be grateful if someone could answer each of these following queries.

Tier 1 Extension application is made in June 2016 and interviewed in Sept. 2016 and no news since then.
But this march,he is eligible for ILR under 10 yr long residence ( good immigration history).

Now, there is very pressing and urgent need to travel abroad for business and personal reasons and I told him he could make sure of same-day services and vary the Tier 1 to ILR. But, I hv few questions around this.

1) To vary application, is there any specail forms to be filled in ? or is it just the SET (LR) ? Set LR

2) Given, he will not hv passport with him , (but he has all his travel dates out of country noted down, so the form can be filled)..how long it has taken in the past for similar applicants ? This info is very important to make a decision as he could alternatively wait for Tier 1 Ent to come though (can try via MP) if SET (LR) is going to take months ? Not sure how long it will take to the process the application. Application submitted in November 16 and not yet received the outcome. A lot of LR applications would take almost 6 months.

3) If he varies, I take his Tier will be withdrawn and with his ILR application, will he have section 3c (the intial Tier made in time) . This is just to make sure if anything unexpected happens, he has some legal grounding and do not lose 10 yr cont. period. No. 3c will be stopped when new application is submitted. It will be treated as out of application. That means no work is allowed.

any advice in this situationn is highly appreciated.

not sure I undesratnd u..is that remark meant to be sarcastic or something ?

just to clarify , I have his passport and been tasked with constantly checking for a convenient slot if varying is deeemed to be risk-free and quick turn-around is guaranteed.

could you now answer the queries above pls ? also any idea why I cannot send PM to other users anymore ?

thanks

a) Is it better to chase Tier 1 (Extn) via MP

b) is it better to vary to SET LR ? has ever the decision taken longer than two weeks ?

c) any way to get the passport to the PEO on the day ?

d) Will super-premium help ?
We want the passport and visa by mid April at any cost and friends immiggration history is very straightforward...

n8net wrote:isnt Tier 1, PBS based and ILR are assessed under different rules..? or will one might impact the other ?

also what is the implication for section 3c if we vary ?

will super premium gurantee same day decison ? any known cases ?

Just to confirm, when u said "if the application is made in time" you refered to the intial Tier 1 Extension right ? Yes, it was made in-time, but, if we vary to SET LR, that will be out-of -time as the current leave has already expired 8 months ago...will section 3 c be applicable to SET LR in this context ?

also, if a premium service appointment is made, lets in April 2017, and if Tier 1 Extn is decided in the mean time and in worse case, if it is a rejection, would the SET (LR) application that will be made in April have section 3c ? I beleive now, but as long as it is made within 14 days, the continuous residency will continue ? Please confirm.

if theTier 1 Ent. is decided, then also there is no current leave, how then SET (LR) is accepted when it cannot be accepted when trying to vary before the decision ?

I am not quite sure you understand anything I said above AT ALL. You can vary a pending application at ANY time or apply for a fresh application if refused within 14 days.
