10 years lawful residence...(Long Residence)

[dioxidy]

hello folks;

I came to britain on 28 may 2001 on student visa and had extensions
in the same category until jan 2012 and my first visa was issued on 22 apr 2001.

The fact of the matter is as i fall into the 10 yr lawful residence category, when does my time start from when the visa was first issued or my first entry in UK?? secondly what documents possibly i would need to claim ILR in this category and how long would HO usually take to process the application? Lastly when the latest i can submit my application?

P.S: i have already pass the life in UK test.....

Thanking you all for guidance and support....

10 year period starts from the date you arrive in the UK.
If your application is starightforward (ie. no gaps, no absence longer than 6 months, outside uk for 18 months in 10 year period) then you will only need your Life in UK test cert, your passport(s) and photos

please read this carefully: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... iew=Binary

and make sure you are definately eligible.

as for waiting times. it really depends from person to person. I would say from 4 weeks to 6 months.

Hi, Tier 4,
1) Do you know anybody who successfully apply and got ILR when refer to the date "when you were given permission to stay in the UK"?
My first visa was issued on January 11, 2005 -> I arrived on April 17, 2005.
2) Do you think I have a chance? Otherwise my last visa expires on February 17, 2015 and I need to prolong it and than apply on April 17, 2015.

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Hello Samara, if you have all your passports then there is no need for you to submit any further document aside your life in the uk test certificate and English test certificate.
Hope this helps.

But there r some exceptions in the rule like if u r out due to some medical or compassionate reasons. u need to provide evidence.

Hello Experts !!! I think I always asked very difficultly question and get very limited respond !


Scenario:1
after all appeal dismissed if someone reapply for a visa and and again visa is refused,then does applicant got 28 days to decide for applying another visa or applicant will get in-country appeal after October 2014 ? and does those time is countable for 10 years time ?

Scenario:2
what is the current waiting time for upper tribunal and court of appeal hearing ?

Scenario:3
if appeal was in time but upper tribunal say out of time appeal -does UT asked for reason of out of time appeal ? then appellant able to give evidence of in time appeal ? if UT don't give any chance to prove of in time appeal then what is the option for appellant ?

Hi All,

I would like to have your guidance on the below.

My time line is as below.

First entry: Sep 04 - Student Visa
Visa Changed: Sep 08 - PSW
Visa Changed: Jun 10 - Tier 1 (General) - 2 Year
Visa Extension: Nov 12 - Tier 1 (General) Extension - 3 Year
Visa Expiry: Nov 15

There are no breaks and time spent outside UK is less then 3 months in total in 3 visits.

Do I qualify for 10 years residence and do I need to fulfil Tier 1 requirements for ILR? A detailed guidance would be highly appreciated along with documents required for the Application.

Kind Regards.
