If you're granted leave under part 8 of the immigration rules your waiting period would be max. 2 years.

Hi Amber,

If we apply flr (m) before 6th april, even when the decision has not arrived on main set (lr) application before 6th april,
would the leave granted on flr(m) be under part 8 and qualifying period will be 2 years
or
because the flr(m) submitted while set(lr) has not been decided even before 6th april, flr(m) will not be granted under part 8. and the qualifying period will be 5 years?

please help, your quick few words can clarify lot of confusions and could prevent us from making serious mistake.

Thanks

A person who meets the following criteria, in one of the categories specified below, will remain subject to the Immigration Rules in force as at 8 July 2012 until settlement (the grant of indefinite leave to remain) even where the application is granted on or after 9 July 2012:

(ii) to applications made by a person who is in the UK and had been granted entry clearance or limited leave to remain under Part 8 following an application for initial entry clearance or leave to remain under Part 8 submitted before 9 July 2012 and this leave is extant where this is a
(page 4 of https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... -guide.pdf
this is for transitional arrangents .
does this mean this no longer implies after april 6

[Amber]

That's just guidance and is subject to change with new rules.

he applicant has limited leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom in
accordance with the Immigration Rules, other than limited leave to enter for 6
months or less (unless the leave in question is limited leave to enter as a
fiancé(e), or unless that leave was granted to the applicant as the spouse or
unmarried partner of a Relevant Points Based System Migrant (excluding a
Tier 5(Temporary Worker) other than a private servant in a diplomatic
household who applied to enter the UK before 6 April 2012 or a Tier 4
(General) Student, and that partner is the same person in relation to whom
the applicant is applying

what dos this mean that even now tier 4 dependant cannot apply? i am so confused

i am tier 4 dependent currently so i can still switch to FLRm before 6th april nd be 2 years.

[Amber]

It means you only need to have flr(m) for two years, you can amalgamate the period as a PBS dep so long as 287(a)(I)(d) allows you to.

If you switch before 6 April you'll be under the old rules.

Hi,

I am reading these new changes coming into effect on 6th April 2014.

I am eligible to apply for SET(LR) now and still have T1 visa valid till 2016.
My wife and UK born baby got T1 Dependent visa valid till 2016.

My wife came to UK in Dec 2007 as student dependent and since living here as dependent.

I was planning to apply for my SET(LR) and apply for FLR(M) for my wife once I get my ILR and register my baby as British using MN1.

1. Is my above mentioned plan still good enough to get ILR for my wife (using FLR(M) and then SET(M) route) ?

2. Or I should apply for her FLR(M) with my SER(LR) application ?

3. Also, do I still have option to register my baby as British once I get my ILR ?

I'll be really thankful if you can advise on above.

Many Thanks.

[vinny]

Hello Everyone ,

Gurus, need your help, please!!!


I am on Tier 1(PBS) visa which expires on 1 Jan 2015 and is due for IRL thereafter. But the thing is that I am not employed( as I am looking after a little one) so my extension through this route is not quite possible. My husband have got ILR ( Long Residency ). I have been in the UK since 2006 but I was never my husband's dependent & married to him since 2006. Can anyone help me with the possible options available for me to extend my visa ? I am thinking of applying for FLR but very confused , under what category should I apply for ILR?

Many Thanks !
