10 YEARS REDUCTION TO 5 YEARS

[Predanise]

Hi,

Please I need your candid advice and possibly there is a way out.

We came into this country since 2007 on HSMP, along the line when due to apply for ILR in 2012, the application was refused.

The application got refused due to some irregularities in the accounts & incomplete tax payment. However, these were prepared by a qualified accountant and only acted on his advice.

Series of appeals were made after the accountant had rectified the figures and correct taxes were paid, but all to no avail.

In summary, in 2015 we were placed on 10 years route after writing to the HO.

My question now is that, can the 10 year route be converted into 5 years?

Hopefully, after the 5 years, we can apply for ILR again rather than staying on the 10 years.

I have 3 children. 2 came as toddlers and the last one is now 10 yrs. The last one now has her citizenship.

Looking forward to hearing from you

Under which category you were placed under 10 years? Was that flr fp??

Thank you so much for your reply.

According to the letter we got in 2015, it states that we were granted limited leave to remain outside of the immigration rules in line with Article 8 of the ECHR.

Furthermore, the last letter received in 2018 after applying for a waiver, it states, we were considered under paragraph GEN 3.2 of Appendix FM, that there are exceptional circumstances in our case which would render a breach of Article 8.
