All,
Can the administrator or owner of the google SET (LR) spreadsheet (timeline) add new rows so new applicants can add their details and waiting time accordingly.(

I have also noticed that the waiting time is becoming longer compared to the months of March and April. It is skewing upwards sharply than expected 4-6 weeks for March/April applications.

1. Could the recent politics on immigration have had an impact or influence on the speed of decisions at HO?

2. Could it be the back-load building up suddenly because most the applicants put through their application in order to take advantage of the lower immigration fees prior to April hikes?


What do you all think or I am just out of order!

Pls give me some advice.I am in big trouble,very very worried.I will highly appreciate for your help and advice:

I am in very difficultly position.I was a student,living in UK with my wife and 2 year old son.My visa was refused on human right ground.My appeal's hearing in First Tier Tribunal was on June 2014. 5 month before the hearing date on last January 2014, I changed my solicitor and present solicitor informed Home Office and tribunal about the changes and he represent me in the hearing.I did not knew the decision until I phoned Tribunal on 2nd week of August 2014 ,they told me Tribunal dismissed my appeal on first week of July 2014 and I was also shocked when they said they sent determination letter to my previous solicitor's address.
After many correspondences with Tribunal,Tribunal re-issued decision letter on first week of December 2014.

Then we sent permission to appeal for Upper tribunal to First Tier tribunal within 14 days and after waiting a while Tribunal was saying they haven't received my permission to appeal for Upper tribunal.but my solicitor have proof(automatic email response from Tribunal)that he did sent the permission to appeal.So,my solicitor once again sent permission to appeal for Upper tribunal to First Tier tribunal on 1st May 2015 and we received the ''Notice of receipt'' from Tribunal and waiting for the out come.

First week of august 2015,I will qualify to apply ILR on 10 years ground.I am very much worried that Home Office could say I have the gap in continuous residency during appeal process.Because I have 2 issue during appeal process .First issue:according to home office I did not appeal in time,they don't know tribunal sent my determination letter to my old solicitor's address.To rectify those issue what is the procedure to let Home Office know that I changed my solicitor before hearing and present solicitor informed Home Office and tribunal about the changes and he represent me in the hearing(my solicitor have those evidences) and 2nd issue: my solicitor sent the permission to appeal in time and he have proof.Before applying for ILR I have to sort out those confusion with Home Office.Pls tell me how can I over come from this situation ?
I will highly appreciate for your help and advice

U can't sort out these issues before applying Ilr. Better to wait for your UT hearing and if u complete your 10 years before UT hearing than add additional grounds of 10 years in your hearing.

Keep in mind this thing only possible if judge allows u to add additional ground because now u r in UT. At that time HO may withdraw the decision and look at on your case than they may refuse u and give u right of appeal again. U have a long bridge ahead to cross.

U post this question several time and got very little attention because of the complexity of your case. Your solicitor is in better position to help u .

If u dont trust him (as u said in previous posts that may be he is doing this to prolong without your knowledge) than change your solicitor.

I think because they want more people to go on premium service that's why they r delaying postal applications.

Tahir, don't feel bad bro. The reason he asked you to post your query on correct thread so you can get answer from the relevant experienced people. As this thread is for set Lr probably you might not get desirable answers due to lack of experience. Somehow let's wait if anyone has any experience on this and reply of your answer. Good luck.

Hi guys,

Thankyou very much for your time. I will try to make it short and precise.

Date of entry clearance: 15/05/2005
date of entry in UK: 17/09/2005

Date when ILR is due: 17/09/2015 (able to apply 20/08/2015 as i can send my application 28 days prior to when my ILR is due)

Current visa status: was given tier 4 visa in september 2015 till january 2016 but because government wants to shut down every educational institute it touches. I have been given curtailment letter and my visa is restricted to 3rd august 2015 making me short of 17 days in order to apply for ILR.

Question: It also states on the letter that after 28 days from 3rd of august 2015, i will be considered over stayer > Am i right in thinking that i can utilize these 28 days to make up for the 17 days I require. Will it be a safe option?

1.Do i have any other options? I am cohabiting with EU partner, can it help me in any way, although i would rather avoid this route as much as possible.

2. Since i have been a student with no right of work, do i still need to show my financial records i.e bank statements etc.

Please guide!

Answer for Q1: From what I understand you can apply for FLR (FP) when your visa expires, by the time HO send you confirmation letter and Biometric letter, 17 days will pass. After 17 days you can apply for SET (LR) with a cover letter requesting to defer your FLR(FP) to SEL (LR).

Answer for Q2: For your SET(LR) only documents you need is "Life in the UK test certificate" & English Language certificate...

Answer for Q1: From what I understand you can apply for FLR (FP) when your visa expires, by the time HO send you confirmation letter and Biometric letter, 17 days will pass. After 17 days you can apply for SET (LR) with a cover letter requesting to defer your FLR(FP) to SEL (LR).

Answer for Q2: For your SET(LR) only documents you need is "Life in the UK test certificate" & English Language certificate...
Thanks for the prompt reply brother.
Is it a long shot or do you think i have a good chance of covering 17 days of shortfall with what you suggested?
I have BBA hons degree. do i still need an english language certificate?

Can the administrator or owner of the google SET (LR) spreadsheet (timeline) add new rows so new applicants can add their details and waiting time accordingly.(

I have also noticed that the waiting time is becoming longer compared to the months of March and April. It is skewing upwards sharply than expected 4-6 weeks for March/April applications.

1. Could the recent politics on immigration have had an impact or influence on the speed of decisions at HO?

2. Could it be the back-load building up suddenly because most the applicants put through their application in order to take advantage of the lower immigration fees prior to April hikes?


What do you all think or I am just out of order!
I think because they want more people to go on premium service that's why they r delaying postal applications.
Thanks Zee ali. Approvals have completely stopped looking at the google SET (LR) spreadsheet. Absolutely crazy huh. Had i known about the premium service before my April application surely I would have gone for it but again my case was complex as I had to withdraw appeal bluh bluh, and i dont know how best I would have addressed it otherwise without overstaying??

HO is fast sleeping, :wink: i believe lol....
Darvesh, I have observed the same thing.There might be other reasons why approvals have slowed down significantly- some kind of politics, back log or simply overwhelmed with premium applications as Zee ali suggested earlier. It is difficult to tell at this stage what is going on since we can not make out any sense or the meaning of the data in the google SET (LR) spreadsheet that would suggest a backlog or significant attention to premium applications. It is difficult to speculate too, simply because there are NO new data inputs on new applications either on postal or premium applications on the google spreadsheet. I think the google spreadsheet, for now, is useless because there is no incoming data and the problem is without spaces to fill in new entries applicants stay away from it.

Current visa status: was given tier 4 visa in september 2015 till january 2016 but because government wants to shut down every educational institute it touches. I have been given curtailment letter and my visa is restricted to 3rd august 2015 making me short of 17 days in order to apply for ILR.

1.Do i have any other options? I am cohabiting with EU partner, can it help me in any way, although i would rather avoid this route as much as possible.

Yes the best thing is to vary your application after you meet the requirements.Why don't you have the right to work as a student? or was your last visa a visiting student visa?
