Hi Emash
Yes, your situation is very much similar to me. I got a letter from HO on 27/09/2017 saying they will implement the court decision asap just like you received it. After that i have not heard anything yet.
waiting restlessly and hoping for the best.
Your case is ahead of me by couple of weeks. Wish you best of Luck! hope you will get your visa soon.

[Emash]

Thanks saahib,

But the problem is they are trying ti give me limited leave to remain whereas my application and appeal was allowed for ILR.
I’m worried

Hi saahib_ali,

My solicitor just called me and informed that they have received my BRP card with 2.5 years visa . They did not give me ILR .

Hello everyone, I've been a silent reader of this forum, and it will be selfish of me not to share my good news. You never know who may benefit from your testimony.

The people that may benefit more from my testimony are those who are using their derivative right of residence to apply for ILR on the basis of 10 years long residence in the UK.

Here is my story;

My wife was first granted leave to remain as the primary carer of our EU minor son under the defunct paragraph 257C of the Immigration Rules in September 2008. I was on another leave at the time and separate from my wife and son, but my subsequent renewal of that leave was not successful and I became an overstayer around 2009.

I made a fresh application as the father of my son who, as I mentioned earlier, was already exercising his treaty rights as a self-sufficient child. By the end of 2010, I was granted limited leave in line with the rest of my family.

In October 2011, our son was granted a document certifying permanent residence as we were able to prove that despite my wife being granted her first leave in 2008, our son was actually exercising his treaty rights way earlier than that. Our EU son who is still a minor completed 10 years as a qualified person in the UK in October 2016.

From that October, we started the journing of Life in the UK test and the English test and by April 2017, we passed all the aforementioned.

Timeline for ILR under the 10 year long residence route are:

Application posted (two separate application in one large parcel) first week of April 2017

Biometric letter first week of May 2017

Then the monthly email stuff.

On 16 October, we were refused. Reasons are my wife was first granted leave in 2008 and myself 2010, and therefore we have not had lawful leave for 10 unbroken years. Reference was made to paragraph 276b (i)(a).

We knew this was a mistake on their part because a person with a derived right of residence does not need a derivative residence card to make his presence lawful. So, We wrote a polite letter on 26 October 2017 to the caseworker at Liverpool to remind him that for the fact that our son was granted a document certifying permanent residence in October 2011, legally means he had been a qualified person since at least October 2006, consequently, as he is the source of our rights, we too have had our continuous right of residence since the same time even though we were not actually granted leave until 2008 and 2010 respectively. We also sent a letter before action to their office in Middlesex.

Guess what folks??? We both received our approval letter for Indefinite leave to remain yesterday, saying the Biometric cards will follow under a separate cover.

We are so grateful to our Lord Jesus Christ, no lawyer we did everything by ourselves.

By the way the online application checker is showing 'Decided' and we are yet to receive a response to our JR threat, but who cares as long as the remedy we sought has been done.

Thank you to everyone on this forum.

Hi saahib_ali,

My solicitor just called me and informed that they have received my BRP card with 2.5 years visa . They did not give me ILR .

First of all Many Congrats! for your BRP. At least you have a valid status to work.
I understand that this looooooong and restless wait can drive anyone crazy.

Did they send any letter saying why did they only grant you limited leave and not the ILR.
Tell your solicitor to contact HO and you should also contact them regarding this.

I am still waiting for my BRP. :S

It seems they must have decided about the limited leave before asking for IHS fee.
Hopefully you will get it sorted via judicial review.

Hi Shujah
Hopefully you get your BRP soon. I think you should get MP involved in your case now as it has already elapsed average time-frame.

Hi there , i need a technical solution for my problem,
I came in the UK in 2010 as tier-4 student and getting extentions successfully,

Couple of month back i got visa extention of 5 months because of delay in my dissrtation which i had got successfully,

During my that 5 month visa i went back home and when i came back uk they refused my entry because thay said "visa less then 6 month is single entry visa and it was expired when I traveled back home"

Thay gave me temporary entry for one day and arrange my flight for next day, i came to the airport and went back home as they offer me the ticket as well,

Within 6 month time i came back UK , as same tier 4 visa,

I just wanted to ask about my continuety is valid? To keep it valid i am paying so many fees to the uni.....

Will wait for your positive and relayable answer, i had not over stayed as they arrange my fight , i went back, and apply from back home and came uk within 180 days

[Happy85]

hi i applied ilr last year on set(0) with amendment year of 2010-11 . i applied i in august 2016 and i declared my amendment tax in Jan 2016 to hmrc and they agreed with installments. after 15 months i got letter yesterday from ho, '' i had complex issues in my application so my application is delayed otherwise its take 6 months''.
now i have question i completed 10 years last week so any chance if i go for it and my wife she did not completed 10 years . so if i applied what her status .please tell me know asap. many thanks.
applied ILR august 2016
amendment tax year 2010-11
declared to hmrc January 2016 with installment
completed 10 years last week .
wife completed more than 7 years in this country

[smir]

Till my knowledge, and experience too

you cant make a new application if an old application is still there with home office which is undecided

if you make, home office will 90% return the application and refund the money too.

What you can do is differ the application to long residence from current application.

but never ever withdraw and apply

if you do it will break your continious stay withing the United Kingdom and then you are not eligible for ILR anymore.

your wife status will be confusing too, because in long residence application you cant have dependent till your visa is granted.

Means you have to wait for your visa first and once you get then only she can apply.

usually in such scenario applicant or their solicitors apply flr fp for the dependent telling the HO to hold the dependent application till the main applicants application is processed.

but home office is not our Uncle, they refuse straightaway without right to appeal and this puts the dependents status in dilemma


so think before you do something... Ask seniors who would guide you

Hi mate ,

You can vary your application to LR any time as you have completed 10 years lawful residence in the UK . Also you don't need to pay full application fee . just pay the difference If any ..

Regards to your wife application she has to put separate application FLR(M) .

Thats all . I strongly advice you to check this with a senior member or solicitor .

Thanks ,

[Shujah]
