well.. go for paper hearing one week before the hearing , it will take them some time to process it. Or give some medical reason. Once you have completed 10 yrs.. go for ILR

i think you can apply for ILR(10year) within 28 days before 10 years completion

The applicant completes 10 years continuous lawful residence while awaiting a decision of an appeal


A person may complete 10 years continuous lawful residence whilst they are awaiting the outcome of an appeal and submit an application on this basis. Under sections 3C and 3D, it is not possible to submit a new application while an appeal is outstanding. However, the applicant can submit further grounds to be considered at appeal.

If the applicant has an outstanding appeal against a decision to refuse leave to remain or indefinite leave to remain, and submits an application for long residence, you must void the case and refund the fee.

I think its very tricky and technically if I withdraw appeal and re apply under LR category so the minute I withdraw appeal I become overstayer?

I don't knw I am right or wrong but the best way as per my understanding will be overlap the appeal by submitting LR application and then withdraw appeal and write a covering letter to HO informing about the withdrawal of appeal and that way 1 application is pending at all time with ukba irrespective of appeal or LR.

if u try to complete ur 10y by postponing ur hearing date then it wont help ur long residency application anyway. the moment u apply for LR whilst appeal pending against a decision then ur file will be linked to the outcome of ur appeal

so no way u can avoid ur appeal and go for LR.

If the applicant has an outstanding appeal against a decision to refuse leave to remain or indefinite leave to remain, and submits an application for long residence, you must void the case and refund the fee.

Ur LR application will be considered only once u get appeal decided.
