Varying the Application to ILR (LR) Guru's Attention pls

[Legal83]

Hi

I came here in 7th July 2006, having a clean immigration history, fullfilled all the requirements for long residency.

1. Currently I applied for Tier 1 Ent Extension, which was expired on 27th May 2016.
2. Biometric given on time.
3. Seems to be no issue with extension application, fullfiled all the requirements.
4. Initail application was graned after interview in 2013.
5. Application as on today is still in process.

My question is for Guru's is
1. Can I vary my application to LR for ILR.
2. Can I do this at permium services as the application is in process.
3. Seeked advice from 2 solicitors, they are recomending me to vary the application as its safe to be at LR.
4. or Shall I wait for the outcome of current pending application.
5. lets say if home office rejects my current application, will I still be able to go for 10 years route or I have to clear my rejected points.

Regards.

Why do you think they will reject your application?

If you switch, you need to be aware that your family or anyone dependent on your visa may be affected.

I m on the same circumstance . Application in process. Want to do variation to SET LR at PEO rather than postal variation.
Yes dependent will be effected.
But it's important that the main applicants stays here rest will come along the way.


So I have the same questions as yours.
Kindly if someone can help will be great.

I have 1 dependent, and will do her with me. I fulfilled £18600 requirement too. Will it be a issue or problem of applying dependent on FLR-M along with mine ILR-LR

You should leave a gap of around 2 hours for your wife's appointment as if yours application isn't approved on the day, your wife's will fail.
