10 years long residence applications

[SSWSZ]

Will update whole story at night just to give u a little info that I got ILR but first I have to submit flr(m) and then set (m ) is granted .

[meb4ne1]

Hi everyone

I have applied in may and still havent heard anything from HO.

You should have called them in November. I'd ring them straight away and ask them why it is taking over 6 months. Get contact with your local MP and request him to push the HO on your behalf.

Dear all,
I would like to share my success stories regarding my SET(LR) and my Mrs' SET(M) in PEO recently. First i wanr to send my greatthanks to this forum and my special thanks to the Moderators, Gurusand fellow members for their helpful discussions and tips.

SET(LR) - 7yrs student + 3yrs Tier 2(G)
Application sent: 04/09/2013
Acknowledgement letter: 06/09/2013
Biometric letter received: 20/09/2013
Biometric letter enrolled: 28/09/2013
Approval letter received: 29/01/2014 (dated: 25/01/2014)
BRP card received: 30/01/2014

I then booked premium service at Sheffield for my wife for SET(M). Followed advices from the Gurus in this forum we prepared two forms SET(M) and FLR(M).
SET(M) - 3yrs Tier 2 Dependant since 01/2011.
Appointment date: 03/02/2014
Apponment time: 9:50am
We handed in the SET(M) form but told the officer that we were unsure which forms is suitable in our case and hence we prepared FLR(M) form with us in case. She told us the case worker would let us know later whether SET(M) would be accepted.
At 11:30am we received our documents and passports back with the approval letter for SET(M) with no questions or queries.

I hope this information would help others. Please update my record to the SkyDrive.

Best of luck who are still or going to apply.

First of all I want to say sorry to keep you all waiting for so long but the problem is Croydon is far from my home and I have to do some work on my way back so I just get the time to tell you whole story.u all are correct it's not a good day for me but at least it's a happy ending so I am happy now.

Now I start
Reach at 9.55 am inside building 10.am.
Pass security and got token number 10:13
Submit bio and case exactly 10:45
Call on desk number 12:00
The lady told me as my spouse get indefinite due to long residency so I am not eligible for indefinite so I have to go back and then Apply again on flr(m) and then I can apply on Set (m) in 2016 . To my surprise she clearly mentioned that I have to meet income threshold and said our senior says that without this we will not issue you visa even we mention it that I fall under old rules as I came uk on spouse of pbs in 2006 but they said no you have to show income because you will be consider spouse of settled person from now onwards when u will apply on flr(m)...


At this point I said I have flr(m) and specially mail from home office which is marked and says that I don't have to show income threshold and I can apply for set(m) straight away .they then take the email print out and went inside to discuss with senior member.after 10 to 12 mint they came back and said ok we will give you visa first on flr(m) and then indefinite on set(m) but you have to pay fee for flr right now .so I pay the fee of 9.... Something then they take my flr form did entry and ask me to wait ...
After I guess maximum 20 min they call the number and I collect the document and lady congrats me for my approval and tell me about brp which will reach in maximum 10 day's .so I will be out of building around 1:15pm

If some one want any further information just message me and thanks for waiting .

Dear Sir/Madam,



Thank you for your email, I apologise for the delay in responding.



1. If a person has been granted ILR on the basis of 10 years long residence, their spouse can no longer be considered as a PBS dependant, and they must apply for an extension of stay as the partner of a settled person on application form FLR(M). A person here as a PBS dependant would not be able to meet the settlement requirements of the spouse rules if they were to apply directly, without first applying for limited leave to remain on form FLR(M).



2. As long as the spouse was granted leave to enter or remain as the dependant of a PBS migrant prior to 9 July 2012, then the spouse can be considered under the transitional Part 8 rules for further leave to remain as the spouse of a settled person under Paragraph 284. These Part 8 rules do not include the Financial Requirements (including earnings over £18,600) you have mentioned, however they do require an applicant to be adequately maintained and accommodated without recourse to public funds. Further information on this is available on our website at the following address: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... iew=Binary



3. A spouse can combine any leave as a PBS dependant with leave as the partner of a settled person granted under Part 8, to meet the qualifying period under paragraph 287 of the Immigration Rules, which is 2 years. They will need to satisfy all the requirements of these rules, including the English language requirement. Further information on this is available on our website at the following address:

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/polic ... ansitional provisions and http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas ... uage-life/.



4. A spouse meeting the above requirements can consequently apply for settlement at any point after they have competed 2 years in a combination of these 2 categories (PBS dependant and spouse of a settled person).



I trust this clarifies the situation.



Kind Regards,



Karen.
