Long Residence (10 years) SET (LR) applications

[sunnysunny1994]

Hi all,

One question, if I withdraw my application then in how many days I will get back my documents. And what status will I have? Am I allowed to work till I get my documents back. Kindly reply. Thanks

If you withdraw your ILR application and your visa has already expired, then you have no legal status and cannot work.

Thanks, how many days HO will post my documents. Will they send any confirmation. What r chances if i apply again from back home for tier 2? Kindly reply.

Please ask your Tier 2 questions in the Tier 2 sub forum. It is not appropriate to ask such questions in this Set(LR) topic.

If your visa has already expired, HO will likely NOT send your documents but give them to you at the airport once you confirm with them the date you are leaving.

Hi

I have a couple of questions around the most recent SET(ILR) form (Version 4, 2017).

1. "DUTY TO STATE ALL REASONS TO REMAIN IN THE UNITED KINGDOM"..........
All your reasons or grounds for wishing to stay in the United Kingdom must be
stated in this application. This requirement is being given under section 120 of
the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002. If you do not tell us now of any
reasons or grounds for remaining in the United Kingdom and you tell us later without
good reason, you will lose any right of appeal you may have otherwise qualified for if
we refuse your claim. You can use the box at the end of section 3.2.

There is no space at the end of section 3.2 at all!! So where should I put in my reasons to stay in the UK

2. For the reasons to remain in the UK, are the HO looking for any specific terminology....I will be stating spouse working here, own house (mortgage), friends etc. Is there anything else that needs to be stated?

I would be providing all the passports etc so do I still need to provide the bank statements?

Many thanks

Hi,
Yes you can state those reason which you have mentioned. You don't need to submit bank statement as LR route does not require it. However, I will advise you to make it handy should you attend premium service.

Checking on website is total waste of time. So what's your immigration history ? I have applied Set LR 10 years as well but I was on Tier 1 General before. What's your immigration history ? Were you on Tier 2 before applying Set LR ?

[MALIK336]

Hi Folks

I have found a very good link where you could check your visa application status by entering your UKVI Case number which is found on your Biometric Letter;

https://www.gov.uk/contact-ukvi-inside- ... ion-status

Please use it and update me what your status says;

Mine says "Awaiting a decision"

Friends please share your experiences, tips, suggestions and advice so the community could take advantage of your valuable experience.

Hi Yash,

I have been waiting for the last 10 months. Secondly, that online checking service is total waste of time. I have seen 4 or 5 good results on this immigration board site but all of them they had to wait around 12 to 13 months. So hopefully we will get a decision in next couple of months. Hope for the best. Thanks

Hi Chief and all friends

Its nice you respond to my query, I have two other friends who applied for Set (LR) who had done amendments and they receive Tax Questionnaire and then they receive their visa granted after 4 months of submitting this Tax Questionnaire.

Do you know any such cases after Tax Questionnaire submission.

It would be helpful if you actually listed all your immigration history and visas with exact dates of visa start and expiry and why you have period(s) of overstay and all dates relevant to appeals etc. Otherwise it is impossible for anyone to advise you if you qualify for ILR based on long residence.

Hi Yash,

In the last couple of weeks I have seen two cases on this immigration board forum both of them they had amendments but they amended tax well before applying visa and corrected it. Both of them got visa one of them had to go for an interview as well as had to fill questionnaire. All the 4 or 5 cases with positive outcome had to fill questionnaire. I think getting any sort of result after sending questionnaire minimum waiting time is around 3 months.
I didn't have any amendments but still have been waiting for the last 10 months. I filled and sent the questionnaire around one month ago. Thanks

Hi CR008


I wanted to know that myself and my family has been put on 10year route on my daughter basis who is under 18 and lived here in UK for past 9 years and 10 months when our visa was issued on family life basis, on 10 year route and on that basis we have been given 30 months visa as just after this visa was issued after 2months we had completed our 10 year legal residency but our solicitor told us that because you have been putted on 10 year route now you have to extend your visa 4 times until you finish your ten years is this true?

As from your reply to this post makes me understand that only you need to complete 10 years legaly to apply for ILR and this 30 month visa was issued to us just because we had not completed our 10 years otherwise we were eligible for ILR? Kindly correct me if I'm wrong.

I will really appreciate if someone can advice on this.

[priscaltony]

I think you've been wrongly advised by your solicitor. I was in a similar situation, have been a dependant on my husband until we applied for FP and shortly (0ne month) after we were granted my husband who had been here for 10 years before our FP application was finally decided applied for his ILR and was granted same with my daughter few months after my husband application and she was also granted.

I don't know where the said solicitor got his information from, but he has advised you wrongly. You don't have to be 10 years on that route before you can apply for ILR and you will be able to add the time you have spend on the 2.5 years leave to your previous legal leave to qualify for ILR under long residence.

Hello All,
Just want to give some update on my case. It's been almost 7 months since applying for Set (LR). I have contacted UKVI today (Contact Number 03001232241) and explained the situation as I need to travel as part of my Job. HR also gonna send a letter to home office behalf of me. So, at the end of the telephone conversation (After waiting almost 30 mins), they have given me a call reference number and also informed that Home office will contact me within 5 working days.

PS : If you want to know about my situation, please follow the previous post kindly.

Thank you.

Hi Ishara123,

Did the UKVI got back to you as promised? Did they respond to your HR? This waiting is not good for the health!

[Vesh123]

I applied my ILR last year (Tier1 General route) on same day and got refusal due to tax issues. As I had my leave valid therefore I applied fresh application by post which is still pending with them. They call me for interview on 3rd April 2017 and waiting for the decision. Now my 10 years are completing on 6th August 2017. So, If anyone could help me with my below questions I would be very thankful to you.

1. Can I submit my new long residence application (10 years route) while pending the ILR (Tier1 General) application and interview had done.
2. If I can apply 10 years route application then how many days before I can submit it while pending previous application ( as 10 years are completing on 6th Aug).
3. Do I also need to tell them that my previous application is pending and what reason I can give why I'm sending new application? Or I just submit the new application without any reason.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks
Vesh

I have a quick question if someone can reply.

I applied for ILR on the basis of LR (10) in september 2016, still waiting for the decision. Now my question is

Will I get a right to appeal in case my application is refused.

I was on student visa for almost 7 years and last 3 years on Tier 2 visa. And my tier 2 visa has been expired now.

Also, Is there any way to check the status of application online.

Thanks
