10 YEAR LONG RESIDENCY

[avonday]

I have been legally resident in uk for the last 9 years and 8 months but exhausted all my rights of appeal on the 28th of may 2014.
I made an application on form flr ( fp) on the 19th of june based on private and family life. I have a british partner and we have been living together for just over two years. I have also had to stop working as my former PSW visa is no longer valid and have a letter from my employer offering to re-employ me if all goes well with my application.

Does my legal residency leading to the 10 years hold ? Please advise as I was thinking of making another application for the 10 year legal residency in September this year , which is when I would clock 10 years in the UK.

Thanks in advance.

Vary the application to SET(LR) from 28 days before 10 years completes.

Vary the application to SET(LR) from 28 days before 10 years completes.

@Amber

I believe that flr fp is his second application. So he was without visa when he applied flr fp. So no section 3c trigger.

Can he still vary his flr fp application to set (lr)?

[Amber]

Yes.

@ amber

thanks for your advise I was not 100% sure I could do this. But thanks for this once more.

As I applied for my flr fp 20 days after my refusal with no right of appeal would you suggest that I apply when i actually clock 10 years in the UK or as you advise 28 days prior.

Please let me know. Thank you in advance

[Amber]

You can apply from 28 days before.

[avonday]

Thanks I will keep you all posted on progress...

one more question please ...
does varying an application mean i just put in a new application on form set lr and let HO know that i have another application running? How does this work when i have another application?

Do i pay the full fee for the new set lr application?

Thanks

[Amber]

Yes, you add a cover letter with the acknowledgment ref number from the other application asking for it to be varied with a completed SET(LR) application and any additional documents required. You should only be debited the fee difference.

Hi,
I have applied for ILR with SET (LR) on 17/6/14; received acknowledgement letter on 19/6/14; and received biometric letter today 30/6/14 and will do the biometrics today.
Pls do anyone knows the average waiting time after i have done the biometrics?

hi

today 29.08.2014 i received ltr refusal with no appeal rights . I first came to the uk on the 26.09.2004 but received my visa on the 21.09.2004.

I posted my application to vary the ltr to long residency today . The letter of refusal came around 3.30 pm today at which time i had posted my application to vary leave.

Please advise what i should do now.
Also does my 10 year count from the 21.09.2004 or 26.09.2004.

not sure what to do now.

Thanks in advance

[avonday]

Hi amber,

please advise me on above ..im really worried.

Thanks

[Amber]

From 26.09.2004.

You've got an issue now you're an overstayer and can't apply for SET(LR) as such.

[avonday]

oohh noooo..thanks amber. so the application i posted will just be returned back? Letter is dated 2608.2014

[Amber]

Well I expect so,

[avonday]

what are my options now? any ideas of what i should do?

[Amber]

Difficult, perhaps ask for JR? Or see you can get an appeal right, you were very unfortunate.

[avonday]

hi amber.

thanks for your response i went and sought legal advise and turns out JR is not a good idea.
anyway , today i have received a letter from the homeoffice responding to my flr(lr) application asking me to go for biometrics.
i made and flr(lr) as i am still yet to do my life in uk test.

So confused as i thought the flr(lr) application to vary my flr(fp) application would be rejected as they had already refused the flr(fp)

what are your thoughts on this? any advise? what does this all mean?

thanks

Request SAR to see your immigration History

Form is available on UKBA website

10 pound fees and will take 2 months to come

[Amber]

An application for FLR(FP) does not require valid leave.

[krish2094]

That was good idea about SAR ..will it clash if i apply for ILR simultaneously.

[avonday]

I got my 2 year limited leave to remain in the UK based on 10 years long residency Mid Dec 2014 - THANK GOD!

Thought I might share the good news with the forum - May help someone who may be in a similar situation.
