Well in case you're applying for SET ( LR ), you're allowed to apply 28 days before your 10th anniversary, which in your case will be 17th of April onwards, so well within your existing visa :) .. Hope this helps! Cheska Congrats again, happy for you. Mine is 15 days short of clocking 10years. I ...

Congratulations Gameover, Glad it's all out of the way for you. Turnaround under a month, not bad at all by HO standards
Also thank you so much for your regular updates. They've been extremely helpful, to me at least.
Good luck with everything!

Hi Gameover_786, Thank you so much for your response! I'm glad to see, that it took them around 4 weeks to invite you for biometrics. I'm hoping this is standard :D. How long have you been given to respond to the biometric invitation? You also mentioned that you'll enrol biometrics for your ...

Hi Gameover_786, Have you got any update regarding your application? You might recall I'm in the same boat as you, 68 (40+28) days short of 10 years LR. Any Timeline update, regarding acknowledgement letter, biometrics etc. will be much appreciated. I applied for FLR (FP), no dependants, on 29th Dec ...

Hi Gameover 786, Good luck with your application. You're including your bank statements, is there a financial requirement with this application? What period does your bank statement encompass?

Also re: above post, does my situation seem straightforward enough to make an in person ILR application?

Zee Ali, you mentioned Sheffield PEO, has any forum member successfully made this application there and is there a link to the post? I searched for it but couldn't find anything.

Thanks,
Cheska

Hi Haris_zam, thank you for your response. Glad to hear that some one has successfully varied their application to ILR at a PEO. Was this member in similar situation to myself as in he had submitted FLR(FP) and had no documents such as passports, BRP etc with him when he applied SET(LR) in person ...

Hi Gameover, thanks for that. I am also considering making the FLR ( FP ) application without a solicitor to make up my shortfall between 1/1/16 to 9/2/16. I was going through the forums and discovered that SET (LR) can be applied at a PEO as well. I was wondering if I could get away with making an ...

Thank you Zee Ali and Gameover for your responses.

FLR (FP) it is then.
Gameover, are you using a solicitor to make your application?

Thanks,
Cheska
