SET(LR) - Have I met the qualification time?

Post by miaomiao » Mon Oct 21, 2013 12:26 pm

Good morning

I'm hoping to send off my application for a SET(LR) visa based on 10 years living in the UK. I'd be very grateful if someone could help with the question in bold

My immigration history is as follows:
Visa start Visa end Category, Place of Issue
16/09/2003 30/10/2004 Student, Heathrow Airport, London, UK
29/09/2004 29/09/2006 Working Holiday Maker British High Commission, Ottawa Canada
23/09/2005 31/01/2010 FLR(S) STUDENT Croydon, UK
12/03/2010 30/07/2011 Tier 4 (General) Student UK
26/04/2011 31/01/2013 Tier 4 (General) Student UK
06/03/2013 06/09/2013 Spouse/Partner UK

My Working Holiday Visa was issued in Canada while I was on vacation there; however, I was still living at that time in the UK on a valid visa. Does this still qualify for the 10 year period?

Many thanks!
:)

So far so good.

You haven't mentioned anything about your days out of the UK and when did you actually apply for Spouse/Partner visa and where?

Mean while have a read through Long residence and private life

Thanks so much! :) I thought I'd ask that question first about the Working Holiday visa as I'd had to get it in Canada (but I was not on an expired visa at that time or anything).

So, over in the period of 2003-2013 I've been out of the UK for 117 days vacation and 186 days university research related to my PhD study. I was never out of the country for more than 180 days in any given year.

And the Spouse/Partner visa I am currently on was granted 06/03/2013 and is valid until 06/09/2013 and was granted in the UK.

I'd be very grateful for any comments you have.

Cheers!

Again, I think you missed my question. I understand you were granted Spouse visa on 06/03/2013 but is this the Application date as well?

What visa were you between 31/01/2013 to 06/03/2013? Were you covered under Section 3C?
