Yes, provided that she left the UK with a valid visa, i.e. it had not already expired. She also must not have any absence of 180 days or more.

As par my previous post I visited 2 solicitors for further clarification and 1 said if my wife applied visa within 90 days of leaving UK in 2010 then she can apply ILR on 10 years residency and other said If she has applied within 28 days of leaving UK then she can do that otherwise she does not meet the requirement of Continuity but in both cases she did not apply in 30 days. Actually She applied after 125 days and got her reply in 10 days and came here.
Please advise again what should she needs to do? Should she apply ILR or go for extension.

Hi

Applied for wifef's ILR (10yrs, Long residence) in first week of September. bio-metric done already in September 2016.

As it is over 6 months she called home office to inquire about the delay and was told that there is no delay. They are processing the applications received in November but somehow not taken any decision on her application done in September.

They were not ready to say anything else like do they need any more info or document from us.
Does anybody else has similar experience or can anybody help.

thanks a lot.

Is it not possible to ask your MP to get involved with your wife's application? I applied on the first week in November and have not got any outcome from the HO. It seems that the HO will use all the 6 months period to process the application.

Could you please share what documents you submitted ?

Thank you

Yes we are thinking of getting the MP involved. Lets see what happens then.
I don't remember on top of my head but for 10 years i think we attached the Passport, old biometric, Life in UK test cert, degree cert and couple of other docs. Sorry I dont remember all of them as it was while ago.

Hi
Can senior members please provide their valuable advice on my case.

Applied for SET(O) ILR in March last year. not received any correspondence apart from Acknowledgement.
2010-2011 amendment was done in NOv 2015 and paid.

I have completed 10 years this month, I have 3 kids Born here, one is school going , age is 6 year.

1- Is that okay for me to go on LR route now ?
2- I heard there is no appeal right on LR(10 year) inside country. in worst scenario how many chances are to secure appeal inside country ?
your advise will be highly appreciated

many thanks

Hello,
1- Yes, you can apply on LR route. Pls bear in mind you can only apply alone.
2. Wrong. LR applications carry a ROA. It is actually now added to the form, to clear any doubts, I believe.
Good luck.
Opinion is researchedly mine!

Hello,
I varied my FLR(FP) to ILR in December 2016. My ILR (SetLR) was approved + BRP sent to me this week. From variation to approval took 3.5 months.
Good luck.
Opinion is researchedly mine!

It has NOT been deleted. I moved it to its own topic, link below, as your case is complex and you stand a better chance of getting advice with your own topic rather than one in a topic that is pages and pages long.

It depends on the visas you have held. If you had Tier 1 G and self employment, then yes, very likely you will be interviewed and/or asked to complete a questionnaire.
