ความคิดเห็นที่ 1 Firstly; check whether you meet all residential requirements. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/policyandlaw/immigrationlaw/immigrationrules/part8/ Requirements for indefinite leave to remain for the spouse or civil partner of a person present and settled in the United Kingdom 287. (a) The requirements for indefinite leave to remain for the spouse or civil partner of a person present and settled in the United Kingdom are that: (i)(a)the applicant was admitted to the United Kingdom for a period not exceeding 27 months or given an extension of stay for a period of 2 years in accordance with paragraphs 281 to 286 of these Rules and has completed a period of 2 years as the spouse or civil partner of a person present and settled in the United Kingdom; or; ..................... Have you passed knowledge of language and life in the UK tests? http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/ukresidency/settlement/languageandlifeinuk/ http://www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/ukresidency/settlement/applicationtypes/ You will have been here for two years on 18/11/08. One month and nine days (5 weeks and 2 days) short of two years to end of visa.   This may be a bit dodgy. Unfortunately you have 12 days gap, you can't apply for ILR until 28 days before the date you entered the UK. i.e 21st October 2008, by which time your visa will have expired. If you follow this procedure, you may get away without paying 395 GBP for Further Leave to Remain (FLR). Apply by post and pay by cheque. This will slow the process down, so that by the time the cheque has cleared and the application has been sent to a 'proper' office for processing, the correct date will have been reached. Send the application the day before the expiry date on the visa (8th October). Post the application by Recorded or Special Delivery (I would advise Special delivery). Make sure you keep the receipt of posting. The Home Office will keep your envelope in your file as proof that it was posted before the expiry date.

This strategy is based upon the chance that by the time UK Border Agency processes the application, the time needed to complete the probationary period will have accrued. It is somewhat risky, and we would not recommend it if the gap is more than several weeks. references: http://www.ukresident.com/forums/index.php http://www.ukresident.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=70117 Best wishes. แก้ไขเมื่อ 24 ก.ค. 51 21:31:34 จากคุณ : genf - [ 24 ก.ค. 51 21:19:40 ]

ความคิดเห็นที่ 2 I forgot to mention that although you have 12 days gap between end of visa till before the date you are able to send in your application. But judging by the actual gap of 5 weeks and 2 days to reach the 2 years residential requirement this may be a big problem for you. The method described above will work better for a gap of around 2-3 weeks but more may be too risky of getting ILR turned down. Perhaps it may be safer to pay 395 GBP to apply for FLR to cover the missing period then apply for ILR whenever you feel like. I know it is a lot of money but what can you do since you came in to the UK more than a month too late. Best wishes. จากคุณ : genf - [ 25 ก.ค. 51 01:00:53 ]

ความคิดเห็นที่ 3 คุณevie น่าจะต้องขอ FLR ตามที่คุณgenf บอกละมั้ง เพราะว่าการที่คุณจะขอILRได้นั้น คุณต้องเดินทางเข้าuk ภายใน 28 วันนับจากวันที่ที่คุณได้วีซ่า(ที่ระบุในพาสปอร์ต)  หรือคุณจะต้องอยู่ในukอย่างน้อย 1 ปี กับ 11 เดือน(นับจากวันที่เข้าuk ครั้งแรกจนวันที่วีซ่าหมดอายุ) ไม่รู้จะยิ่งทำให้งงหรือเปล่า สรุปก็ตามที่คุณgenfว่านั่นละค่ะ เพื่อความแน่นอน ลองโทรไปถามดีกว่าค่ะ Immigration enquiry ebreau 0870 606 7766 Application Forms unit         0870 241 0645 จากคุณ : AUTUMN IN LOVE - [ 25 ก.ค. 51 02:23:40 ]

ความคิดเห็นที่ 4 ขอบคุณคุณ genf กะคุณ AUTUMN IN LOVE มากๆนะคะ ให้ข้อมูลระเอียดมากๆ สงสัยจะต้องสมัคร FLR ก่อนแน่ๆเลยค่ะ คงต้องเสียเงินเยอะแน่ๆ เพราะมาช้าไปหน่อยเดียวเอง สอบผ่าน Life in the uk แล้วอ่ะค่ะ อย่างงี้ส่งไปคงไม่มีผลอะไรมั้งคะ ขอบคุณค่ะ จากคุณ : อีฟ (evie) - [ 26 ก.ค. 51 19:03:31 ]
