Hi

I believe you can vary you current application to SET LR but you may not receive decision on the day if your premium application add they may need to retrieve your documents from another department. Except if you write a letter to the last address of any correspondence fro HO where your current application is instructing them to send your document to your premium appointment venue. I hope this helps.

Think OP means 'FLR(M)'.

Thanks a lot..
LR(M)....sorry i was meant to mean FLR(M) the first two half year.
Also October 2012 to march 2013....was the time it took HO to process and grant my application.
Thank you

Hi there,
I think and suggest you should wait mate if there is no complication than it will be dealt early . Think positive and hope for the best mate .Good Luck

I don't see why you cannot vary to SET(LR), you should be fine

Hi, i don't think he has to wait, once he is qualified for Long Residence, he can proceed and go for a Premium if he can afford it and he has no gaps or complications due to his faults. If you have any complications that was caused by the HO, then there's theirs to sort out not yours. Please act fast because HO can be very funny with the law most times. Good luck

Thanks everyone. I will just book for the premium service. But again please my people... is there any means i can inform my case worker to transfer my files to the new relevant department once i book the premium????

I am just about to book now but i realised that the fees has just being changed on April 6th 2017 from £1875 to £2297 omg....Pls is that inclusive premium service??

No it is not. For premium service you have to pay an additional £590 on top of the £2297. Health surcharge is NOT payable for ILR.
