[shine1234]

Dear All,
I am going to complete 10 years in this country on 25th Aug 2019 with below mentioned timeline. Can I apply for IRL on 10 years basis in August 2019?

Dear Zimba,

Thanks for your reply. So, i understood that the waiting time between 1st application, refusal, new application and approved this period of time will be counted in 10 years.

What shall i do for my wife visa ? Shall i apply with my ilr application in August 19 or Shall i apply her application separately in Nov19 as dependant when the current visa expiring?
Many thanks,

[zimba]

Long residence is an application where you must apply on your own and you must qualify on your own. Your wife should apply for FLR(M) separately if she does not have 10 years

[shine1234]

Thanks for your reply Zimba,

Shall I apply alone in Aug 2019 (10 years SETLR) or along with my wife application for FLR(M)?
Is there any financial requirement for my wife visa e.g. min. income, min account balance etc..

Thanks,

Shall I apply alone in Aug 2019 (10 years SETLR) or along with my wife application for FLR(M)?

Each application is individual and separate. Her FLR(M) will be held until your ILR LR is approved. If your ILR LR fails, her FLR(M) will also fail.

Is there any financial requirement for my wife visa e.g. min. income, min account balance etc..

Yes, English requirement and £18,600pa proof of income. No 'minimum balance' requirements though.

[shine1234]

Thanks for your reply...
I think, i will apply alone for ILR(LR) in Aug19 and once my application approved, will apply for my wife FLR(M) in Nov 2019. I am not withdrawing any salary at the moment, Will that be alright if i put my self on payroll from (May19 to continue...) for my wife visa ?

[zimba]

You need at least 12 months worth of payslips

[shine1234]

What shall I do in this situation?

Is there any alternative I can be prepared for her application?

She is working full time? Her own payslips will be considered as income proof for her application ?

[zimba]

Yes they will

[shine1234]

Thanks for your reply....
For her FLR(M) I will submit my payslips (May 2019 to Oct 2019, shown as £19000 per annum) and will submit her payslip as well (for last 12 month, shown as £18000 per annum(nov 18 to March 19), £21000 per annum for (from April 2019 to Oct19). Hope should be alright. Many thanks

Dear members,

I am planning to apply my Set(LR) next week, please refer the below timeline/dates and notes. Please guide me if I am missing anything.

Set(LR) planning to Submit: Sometime in Aug 2019

I am worried about the time I had spent during the T1 Ent extension waiting(refusal, admin, fresh app. etc..), Does that will be counting as overstay? Do I need to be declared in the application? or Shall I write a separate cover letter with a detailed explanation?

Shall I include any docs in regards to my businesses e.g. Bank statements, employees details etc.

Do I need to submit any docs for my dependant wife (in relationship question), her application FLR(m) will submit separately once my ILR approved.

Docs ready to submit:
- Copy of Student visa & Old passport
- PSW BRP card copy
- T1 Ent 1st BRP Card copy
- T1 Ent 2nd exn. BRP card (Current)
- Passport
- Life in the uk test pass certificate
- Master Degree from UK university
- Wife Passport copy and BRP copy, marriage certificate

Your advise and comments highly appreciated...
Best regards,

[zimba]

You need all your passports, LIUK, English language and that is it

[shine1234]

Hi Zimba,
Many thanks for your response.
In 2011, My PSW BRP and 1st passport were reported as lost which had my student visa stamp (after obtained new passport and New PSW BRP).
Will this create any issue to prove 10 years of legal stay?
I have the copy of that passport(1st and last page, visa stamp page) and also have police reference report for the same.

[zimba]

No

[shine1234]

Thank you very much for your great support. will come back again if I have further queries

[shine1234]

Hello there,
some urgent queries, as i am completing SET LR online,

Question on the online form :
Do you have any other reasons for wanting to stay in the UK? (shall I write about my businesses and social life etc.. or just simply choose NO

I regard to absent from the UK (I have mentioned that my parents live there and visit them regularly to spend some family time with them.) Will that be alright?
Do i have to pull my all siblings name and friends names ? as the online form giving the box to put words....

Please, urgent reply..highly appreciated...

[zimba]

No need to do that

[shine1234]

Hi Zimba,
Thanks for the prompt reply...

The saved form says on 1st page "You must include all your reasons for wanting to stay in the UK on this application"

Just saved the online form to complete later and noticed fees £2408.20, I believe it supposed to be £2389 ?
£2408.20 includes biomentic fees £19.20 ?

Please clarify asap if possible,
Many thanks...

[zimba]

Just answer No. The biometrics fee are added too that is why it is a bit higher

[shine1234]

Excellent.. thanks for the quick answers..

One more questions...the form asked about the employment details.
I have given details of my own company name, address. etc... and mentioned that working as a company director(own company) with starting date from the company formation back in 2013. At the time i was in psw visa and was working somewhere else and left the job as soon as my visa approved.... do I need to clarify this to caseworker? Shall I put the visa approval date as the starting date?

Annual earning declared as per the current salary but sometimes i am on and off on the payroll.. will that create any confusion?
Many thanks

[shine1234]

Hi Zimba,
Could you please answer the previous query if you can please.
I am on T1 ent..taking a salary from my ltd company as director remuneration...Will that be considered as self-employed or employed. I am also running 02 other companies at the same time but not taking anything from there. How shall I mention on the form?
I asked my accountant and he said my employment status is considered as self-employed. but I am Really confused and stressed, I am maybe overthinking... pardon me for such questions...
Highly appreciated if you can clear this confusion...
Many thanks..

[zimba]

If you are on the company payroll you are an employee of your own company. The starting date is the date you were put on payroll and the leaving dates should match the P60

[shine1234]

Hi Zimba
Thanks for the reply. I have already submitted the application. But i had selected as self employed and mention the annual income as per the current payroll. I have also disclosed my other company details as well. As i did not wanted tht I don’t disclose now and they come up with why I haven’t provided such information.
I have also submitted small cover letter as well with explaining situations e.g. working for my own company and the current income etc...
I had to pay extra £100 for an appointment for next week and £85 extra for other scanning and checks service.
Hoping will get the positive outcome.
many many thanks for the advice...will keep posted the progress.
