Long Residence (10 years) SET (LR) applications

[CR001]

Hi
i have a question or advise i would say... my situation is i am gonna apply for my ILR(10 yrs route)in october .I have two dependent my wife and my 2.5 year old son who is born here.Right now i am in Tier 1 enterprenuer visa just been extended and our leave to remain is till may 2020. My wife came here as my spouse in december 2012....
my question is whats the rule i have to follow? submitting my application first or all together? i mean what should be the procedure? do i need to apply for them now or when i will get my decission...so confused ,,,if you can guide me please... thanks in advance

Presumably you mean for your wife to switch to FLR(M) visa. She can do that any time after you get ILR but preferably before she has any travel plans out of the UK.

Did I not state she can change to FLR(M) at any time, provided she does not have travel plans out of the UK (risks having her visa cancelled if she travels).

Child born in the UK can apply to be registered as British once you have ILR, use form MN1.

hi
i am very sorry for replying very late. in court hearings i was asked too many questions about my tax amendments, questions like why did i amend my return, when did i amend it and figures i provided pre amendment and after amendment. the homeoffice solicitor tried to convince judge that tax amendment done back to original figures was done purely for visa purposes he even had a slide from this website to show to the judge that thats is how i found out that homeoffice is doing tax checks for visa purposes. one thing to point out here becareful what you share here, homeoffice is aware of this website.

Hi Ria

are you apply via 10 years route alone or with dependant ,if so can you guide me on the necessary documents that's needed

Thanks in advance

Hello all,

I hope someone is able to help. I want to apply for my ILR (LR) and have all the necessary documents ready. However I'm unable to arrange a premium appointment as they are fully booked for the next 45 days!

I wonder what kind of processing times those who have applied in 2018 via post have encountered? I fear being without my passport for six months!

Thanks in advance

Hi Ria, I have been waiting from 5 months, God knows how long they will take. It’s unbearble pain, try to arrange same day appointment if you can.

[Navi05]

Hi Inkedhaf, in regard to the documents it will be your passport, biometric card, life in Uk test, English test and some evidence for you existence in the UK like previous p45, bank statements etc

so her visa wont get curtailed once my status will change... thats what you mean...right? but in case of travelling she need to apply.
thanks.

Read the form and guidance notes, it tells you very clearly what limited documents are required if you have all your passports.

Hello all,

I am due for my 10-year settlement for the end of August 2019. But I need to go away for from 20 December 2018 - 3 March 2019 (74 days). This is for work.

Question: One can be away for 180 days in the year leading to August 2019. Is that right?

Question 2: Is the max total number of away days 540 for the 10 year-period?

It's just hard and confusing to read the documents as I am dyslexic. I also don't know which is the latest.

Thank you for any advice you have!

Best, V

1. Yes. Although note that it is 180 days at any time in the 10 years, not only the last year.

2. Yes.

Hi
My solicitors advises me that my 10 year starts from the date of visa issue if I have entered UK within 90 days . My date of UK entry will be used when I traveled to UK after more than 90 days of visa issue.




I have secured appointment on 21st. I have calculated on the basis of 10 years from visa issue date . I traveled to UK after 25 days of visa issue.

I am confused about the calculation. Please see both arguments below.
Please advise if I should cancel?

Regards
P

Hello all,

I got a question about the start of the continues 10-year residency. does it start 28 days from obtaining the first visa (with the premise that you enter the UK within 90 days), or does the count start from the first date of entry ?

Thanks

Hi user 001.
It starts from when you first enter in to uk.

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your email correspondence of 19 February. I am sorry for the delay in replying to your email.

In order to qualify for Indefinite Leave to Remain on the basis of Long Residence, you will need to demonstrate that you have been present in the United Kingdom continuously for 10 full years.

Your 10-year qualifying period starts from either when you arrived in the UK with a visa or when you were given permission to stay in the UK.

You can apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain no more than twenty eight days before you complete ten years legal Long Residency in the United Kingdom.

Your solicitor is wrong. It is based and starts from the date you entered the UK. The visa validity date is ONLY relevant when a migrant already in the UK regulates their stay, ie getting Discretionary leave to remain while IN the UK.

The enter within 90 days is ONLY relevant to ILR based on 5 years residence through points based route visas.

Anyone else have ‘Page cannot be displayed issue’? I have been having this problem for hours now.

Hi all the experts and moderators on this forum.

First of all I do apologies if my post is not in an appropriate thread. If this is the case, I would be very thankful if the moderators could kindly move it to the correct location for me

I'm preparing my ILR Settlement application on the basis of Long residence - SET (LR). I am going for my PSC appointment next week so just want to double-check if I have all the necessary documentations:

Completed SET (LR) application form - version 13/7/18
2 photographs - meeting UK passport requirements
2 passports - old and current, these are all the passports I've held during my 10 years residency.
Current Biometrics Residence Permit.
Life in the UK Test Pass
Degrees taught at UK Universities
PSC Appointment Booking confirmation and payment confirmation

My total absences from the UK comes to 406 days in 10 years with no break more than 180 days at a single time.

I have no criminal convictions, and have never entered/tried to stay in the UK illegally

Immigration History:
First entered the UK 8/9/2008 on Student visa - valid until Oct 2010
September 2010 - Oct 2014: PBS Tier 4 General
July 2014 - August 2015: PBS Tier 2 General
July 2015 - August 2017: PBS Tier 2 General Extension
July 2017 - July 2020 (my current leave to remain): PBS Tier 2 General Extension.

I'd be very grateful if someone could cast their eyes through and let me know if these documentations are sufficient? Only because these documents seems quite limited compared to all the previous applications which I did for my previous leaves/visas.

[Jabeyd]

Hi
Can anyone please tell me if my admin review is refused, will I still be eligible to apply for SET (LR) after my 10 years stay? I did my FLR(FP) application within 14 days of my admin review refusal which is now pending.
Thanks

Had my SET(LR) application approved at the PSC today and can confirm that that's all the documentation you need. It seemed very limited to me too! In case you didn't realise, you're OK to apply right now as, like me, you're within 28 days of your 10 year anniversary.

By the way, if you can spare the cash, I'd highly recommend going through the PSC.

No one can answer that question. Given that you applied for flr PR after AR refusal, your section 3C ended when AR was refused. Also unlikely you will get a same day decision for ILR.

You really should start your own topic with your complex circumstances as not many people read this long running topic. Posts such as yours get lost in this thread.
