Приветствую, Есть. Нужна предварительная консультация, т.е. опыт показывает, что когда говорят что "Все документы в норме", зачастую случается наоборот. Опять же, если у Вас "Все документы в норме", Вам может хватить одной консультации и Вы сможете подать все сами. Я здесь : <noindex>https://legalcentre.org/Konsultacija-s-Advokatom.html</noindex>

Приветствую, Для UK BA нужен GESE. Тесты разные, для разных организаций. "Чтобы иммигрантам скучно не было (с)".

Children who are visitors in the UK may, under Para 298, switch to remain in the UK, provided they meet the requirements of the Para 298 >>> Can a spouse of British citizen with a joint British citizen child, including a dual national child, switch in-country, while being on a visitor's visa ? A spouse of a British citizen with a joint UK (or UK/Dual national child) may make an in-country (preferably, a same day service application as the level of the so-called discretion is higher in the PEO applications) FLR (FP) application based on the British child. If approved, the leave to remain will be the so-called L(eave)T(o)R(emain) under the 10 year Route to Settlement outside the rules. Then, of course, the applicant may switch into the “proper” LTR as a spouse of a UK citizen on the so-called 5 year Route to Settlement.

Приветствую, Странный вопрос. Для граждан Украины отправлять документы не нужно. А если было бы нужно, ДОЛЖНА быть бумага из UK VAC со всеми деталями. Если Вы из России, то документы нужно отправлять в Шеффилд. Опять же, UK VAC клиентам из России выдает бумагу с подтверждением адреса. Если это Ваша собственная инициатива, Вы можете все испортить (были случаи когда человек досылал документы и...получал отказ, т.к. Шеффилд по какой-то причине видел ТОЛЬКО досланные документы). Тем не менее, вот адрес : <noindex>https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j...cihE1kVyW9rNCUi</noindex>

Приветствую, Это неформальное требование. Я рекомендую клиентам писать СОВМЕСТНОЕ письмо. То есть обычно письмо такое пишет (британский) партнер на чистом английском языке. Выгода очевидна.

Из недавних заявлений клиентов, заявления в личном визите и заявления по почте. Личный визит в <noindex>наше местное отделение UK BA</noindex> (PEO): -Переход с FLR(FP) на FLR(M) – рассмотрели 30 минут (рекорд) -SET(M) – рассмотрели за 1.5 часа Почтовые заявления : -FLR(FP) – рассмотрели за 9 месяцев -EEA(PR) – Non-EEA – рассмотрели за 2 месяца (своеобразный рекорд, т. к. супруга клиента из EU пока еще не получила решение по ее (совместному) заявлению на EEA(PR). NB Employment based PR. -EEA(QP) – стабильно (employment, self-employment, self-sufficiency) 6 недель -EEA(FM) – 4 месяца (ленализация) - Апелляция на основании отказа по категории DRF1 (“Zambrano”). Подали в мае 2017 года, выиграли в конце лета 2017 года, 20 нобря 2017 года получили BRP на 5 лет

Вчера подавал пару заявлений форумчан в нашем местном PEO, где я уже лет 15 подаю заявления клиентов и форумчан <noindex>в личном визите</noindex>: - Переход с т.н. 10-и летнего пути до ILR (т.н. 10 year Route) на стандартную визу мужа британки (т.е. сначала была легализация без выезда из UK (FLR(FP) = 10 year Route to Settlement, теперь подавали на FLR(M)). Причина : клиент экономит 2.5 года до ILR и клиент экономит пару тысяч фунтов на госпошлине UK BA. Это дело было интересно тем, что у клиента не было пару оригинальных документов, кстати, довольно важных - банковская выписка и SA302 (потерялись по почте между банком, налоговой и клиентом). Разумеется, так же было детальное письмо от спонсора, где объяснялось отсутствие важных оригинальных документов. Я так же предложил бухгатлетру клиента сделать специальное + как я обычно делаю в таких нестандартных делах, я заранее связался с нашим местным отделением UK BA и предупредил, что у моего клиента немного нестандартная ситуация. Договорились, что в крайнем случае, если заявление клиента по категории FLR(M) по какой-то причине не проходит, вместо отказа клиент получит продление по текущей иммиграционной категории (10 Year Route to ILR) на 2.5 года (у пары есть маленький британский ребенок, т.е. UK BA, на основании дела MM "должны" дать статус так или иначе). Дальше уже я удивился, когда дело клиента с копиями основных документов рассмотрели за ПОЛ ЧАСА. Ждем BRP по категории FLR(M) (обычно приходят на 3-й день) - Подача мамой и дочькой от первого брака на ILR (SET(M)) по новым правилам. Рассмотрели за 1.5 часа. Ждем Settlement BRPs (обычно приходят на 3-й день)

Приветствую, Зависит от типа заявления. То есть всякие "легализации" и т.п. нестандартные заявления - да. По другим заявлениям - обычно нет.

Options ? Should the above happen, that is, the Entry Clearance – Settlement Visa to enter the UK is granted yet expires before the migrant travels to the UK, the migrant then can use the “Vignette Transfer” option on the UK BA web-site to re-instate the “lapsed” Settlement Entry Clearance Visa. The current UK BA fee for this Vignette Transfer application is £169.00. >>> Supreme Court rejects a right to contribution-based benefits for Zambrano carers : <noindex>https://www.supremecourt.uk/cases/docs/uksc...15-judgment.pdf</noindex> In R (HC) v Secretary of State for Work and Pensions [2017] UKSC 73 the Supreme Court decided that Zambrano carers are not eligible to contribution-based benefits which have a “right to reside” test. The benefits affected by the decision are income support, child benefit, child tax credits, and housing and homelessness assistance. The decision, while no doubt correct in law, leaves behind a broken system. >>> Northern Irish tribunal finds against Home Office on dual nationality : <noindex>https://www.irishtimes.com/news/social-affa...itish-1.3288670</noindex> A woman from Northern Ireland who refuses to identify as British in order to facilitate her husband’s immigration application has succeeded in her First-tier Tribunal challenge against the refusal of a residence card. The Home Office had told Emma DeSouza, who is from Magherafelt and holds an Irish passport, that as a British citizen she could not use more generous EU free movement laws to sponsor her American husband Jake DeSouza. The essence of the tribunal decision in the couple’s favour is that, due to the Good Friday Agreement, people from Northern Ireland can be Irish citizens only and so eligible to use the more liberal EU sponsorship rules. As mentioned in our latest media round-up, the case has already been reported in the Irish press. It had been the position of the Home Office that people from Northern Ireland who hold Irish citizenship are also British. As such, they were not allowed to use their Irish citizenship as a back door to family reunion. >>> High Court: potential homelessness not a justification for detention : <noindex>http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Admin/2017/2797.html</noindex> The High Court in R (MS) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2017] EWHC 2797 (Admin) has found that in circumstances where a person would have no option but to stay on the streets after release from detention, the Home Office has a duty under Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights to provide them with suitable bail accommodation with reasonable speed. Potential homelessness cannot be a reason for prolonged detention. >>> The current UK BA Good Character Requirement in relation to the Naturalization applications can be found here : <noindex>https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/...policy-guidance</noindex> >>> The “hostile environment” seeps into criminal trials: defendants must state nationality or face prison : <noindex>http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2017/915/article/3/made</noindex> From this week, defendants in the criminal courts must state their nationality.

17 November 2017 – Helpful and just interesting Immigration News from the Immigration Lawyers who can really help - www.legalcentre.org - Ph: 0330 001 0342 or 07791145923 >>> Return of passport by Home Office to sit Secure English Language Test The Home Office has confirmed that where it holds the passport of a migrant who wishes to sit the Secure English Language Test (SELT) it will either return the passport to enable the migrant to sit the SELT or will confirm directly with the SELT centre that the passport is held and is genuine. See <noindex>https://2xsoic30m4ba2ervd35c9n41-wpengine.n...guage-Tests.pdf</noindex> >>> Appendix FM (Settlement applications of partners of the UK/Settled nationals) and para 320(11) Refusals Did you have some sort of breach of the immigration conditions during your stay in the UK ?The following information may be of importance to you. Whilst the Appendix FM purports to be a full code, the para 320(11) on general grounds for refusal will also apply. This gives the UK BA powers to refuse entry clearance, for example, if the person has a poor immigration history. Whilst it is not the mandatory re-entry ban that is in place under the PBS (Points Based System), it is a discretionary re-entry ban that was imported into Appendix V, but left out of Appendix FM, so that applicants do not know about it if they rely on Appendix FM on its own. Para 320(11) seems to be used not only for those with ‘atrocious’ immigration histories but is being applied to others such as to people who have gone home to regularise their stay after having made a ‘frivolous’ application in the UK. They are told they will be refused entry clearance to the UK for two years due to their failure to meet the suitability requirement. >>> SET DV (Settlement on the basis of Domestic Violence) refusals – not appealable ? According to the UK BA, despite the SET DV applications technically also being human rights applications, the UK BA stance is that the SET DV refusals are not appealable. >>> EEA application – old photos = refusal It has come to our attention that the UK BA started rejecting the EEA type application when the applicants submit photos older than 1 month. The UK NA in that case keeps the applications for some 4 months, then returns the applications as “rejected” (no right of appeal) as well as the UK BA also deducts the £25 “application rejection admin fee”. Just a reminder that with any UK BA application the applicant's photos must not be older than 1 MONTH on the date of the application. >>> Tier 2 Sponsorship – the salary must not drop below the minimum threshold due to fluctuations in the exchange rate According to the UK BA, the migrant's salary can never drop below the minimum threshold due to fluctuations in the exchange rate, something which is covered by guidance (in that this is not noted as one the exemptions for salary dropping below the threshold). The only way the sponsor would be able to determine whether this has happened is by checking the exchange rate. How the sponsor chooses to do this will be up to them, but if they are found to have been sponsoring a migrant who is being paid below the threshold then compliance action is likely to be taken against them. >>> UK Visas and Immigration news: Government doubles exceptional talent visa offer : <noindex>https://www.gov.uk/government/news/governme...lent-visa-offer</noindex> Double the number of visas will be made available to leading figures and individuals who show promise in technology, science, art and creative industries, the government announced today. >>> Updated UK Visas and Immigration Nationality Guidance (multiple documents) : - Right of Abode (nationality guidance) : <noindex>https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/r...nality-guidance</noindex> - British citizenship (nationality guidance) : <noindex>https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/b...nality-guidance</noindex> - British overseas citizens (nationality guidance) : <noindex>https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/b...nality-guidance</noindex> - British overseas territories citizens (BOTC) (nationality guidance) : <noindex>https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/b...nality-guidance</noindex> - Requirements and considerations common to all types of British nationality (nationality guidance) : <noindex>https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/r...nality-guidance</noindex> - British subjects (nationality guidance) : <noindex>https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/b...nality-guidance</noindex> - British protected persons (nationality guidance) : <noindex>https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/b...nality-guidance</noindex> - Historical background information on nationality (nationality guidance) : <noindex>https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/h...nality-guidance</noindex> - British nationals overseas (nationality guidance) : <noindex>https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/b...nality-guidance</noindex>

Приветствую, Срок по таким заявлениям - до 6 месяцев. Фактически рассматривают за 3 месяца. В близжайшее время получите решение, похоже.

Приветствую, Недавно обращалась форумчанка. Подала SET(M) по почту, ждала 6 месяцев. Вместо ILR получила продление. И ей пришлось доплачивать за NHS ! UK BA ошибся в трактовке своих Правил. Права апелляциии нет (т.к. дали визу !). JR и т.п. будет стоить намного дороже, чем грамотная переподача в PEO. Сейчас буду готовить подачу ее заявления в личном визите. Даже в личном визите case-workers переодически ошибаются, но т.к. я присутствую лично на подаче с клиентом, я могу проконтролировать процесс и НА МЕСТЕ помочь case-worker принять правильное решение. Разумеется, есть те, кто подают сами по почте и получают положительные решения через X месцев, кто-то быстрее, кто-то дольше. Ко мне обращаются люди с проблемами или те, кто просто хочет получить решение быстро, за 1 раз, в течение пару часов вместо того, чтобы ждать месяцами, писать на форуме "сколько Вы ждете решение по.... ? " и т.п. У Вас всегда есть выбор.

Приветствую, Это правильное решение. Я сводобно говорю на трех языках, включая родной язык Вашего британского мужа. То есть языкового барьера не существует, что значительно упрощает работу по Вашему делу. В последнее время все больше и больше британских партнеров форумчан обращаются ко мне на прямую. Самое интересное, что в выигрыше будете Вы :-) Можете почитать отзывы спонсоров и форумчан здесь : <noindex>https://legalcentre.org/reviews.php</noindex> Кстати, обычно (британские) спонсоры спрашивают, чем я могу помочь.

Further options ? If the applicant's FLR(FP) decision was certified by the UK BA as clearly unfounded, and the applicant's leave as granted has expired, then the applicant's continuing leave under the Section 3C has already come to an end.

(2) The condition in this paragraph is that the person— (a) terminates activity as a worker or self-employed person and— (i) had reached the age of entitlement to a state pension on terminating that activity; or (ii) in the case of a worker, ceases working to take early retirement; ( pursued activity as a worker or self-employed person in the United Kingdom for at least 12 months prior to the termination; and © resided in the United Kingdom continuously for more than three years prior to the termination. (3) The condition in this paragraph is that the person terminates activity in the United Kingdom as a worker or self-employed person as a result of permanent incapacity to work; and— (a) had resided in the United Kingdom continuously for more than two years prior to the termination; or ( the incapacity is the result of an accident at work or an occupational disease that entitles the person to a pension payable in full or in part by an institution in the United Kingdom. (4) The condition in this paragraph is that the person— (a) is active as a worker or self-employed person in an EEA State but retains a place of residence in the United Kingdom and returns, as a rule, to that place at least once a week; and ( prior to becoming so active in the EEA State, had been continuously resident and continuously active as a worker or self-employed person in the United Kingdom for at least three years. (5) A person who satisfied the condition in paragraph (4)(a) but not the condition in paragraph (4)( must, for the purposes of paragraphs (2) and (3), be treated as being active and resident in the United Kingdom during any period during which that person is working or self-employed in the EEA State. (6) The conditions in paragraphs (2) and (3) as to length of residence and activity as a worker or self-employed person do not apply in relation to a person whose spouse or civil partner is a British citizen. (7) Subject to regulation 6(2), periods of— (a) inactivity for reasons not of the person’s own making; ( inactivity due to illness or accident; and © in the case of a worker, involuntary unemployment duly recorded by the relevant employment office, must be treated as periods of activity as a worker or self-employed person, as the case may be.

It is not all lost. Know your rights – a very useful paragraph of the UK immigration Rules – exceptions for overstayers : <noindex>https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration-rul...-the-uk#pt1stay</noindex> Para 39 : Exceptions for overstayers 1. 39E. This paragraph applies where: 1. (1) the application was made within 14 days of the applicant’s leave expiring and the Secretary of State considers that there was a good reason beyond the control of the applicant or their representative, provided in or with the application, why the application could not be made in-time; or 2. (2) the application was made: 1. (a) following the refusal of a previous application for leave which was made in-time or to which sub-paragraph (1) applied; and 2. ( within 14 days of: 1. (i) the refusal of the previous application for leave; or 2. (ii) the expiry of any leave extended by section 3C of the Immigration Act 1971; or 3. (iii) the expiry of the time-limit for making an in-time application for administrative review or appeal (where applicable); or 4. (iv) any administrative review or appeal being concluded, withdrawn or abandoned or lapsing. Practical use of para 39E. Say, someone has his/her (extension) application refused in the UK and appeals. The appeal process nowadays in the UK takes sometimes more than a year, so in case of the above applicant can then meet the relevant immigration Rule(s), he/she may withdraw the appeal and make a fresh application within the 14 days. The applicant would then benefit from the provision of the above para 39E and not be treated as an overstayer. Therefore it is then possible to even lodge a same day service (extension) application at the UK BA Premium Service Centre (PSC). Note, though, that the applicant in the above scenario may not make a fresh application whilst she/he is on the Section 3C leave (that is, while the appeal is pending following a refusal of the previous immigration application. The general opinion is that those UK BA caseworkers at the PSC tend to be more forgiving than the caseworkers somewhere at the postal application end, who one never gets to see. The bottom point is that, if one's appeal is bound to fail, it would be good to consider a new application. Are you or your friends and family members in a similar situation ? We may be able to help.

There are also new sections about retained rights of residence and the assessment of UK residence prior to 25 November 2016. > Worker Registration Scheme (WRS) extension unlawful, Court of Appeal confirms : <noindex>http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2017/1751.html</noindex> In a decision of 7 November 2017, the Court of Appeal unanimously found, yet again, that the extension of the Worker Registration Scheme from 1 May 2009 to 30 April 2011 was unlawful and incompatible with EU law. The Court of Appeal also considered a point about the meaning of “resided” in article 17(1)(a) of the Citizens Directive, which allow workers or self-employed people who retire to acquire permanent residence earlier than the usual five years. This is provided they have worked in the country for the preceding 12 months and “have resided there continuously for more than three years. So the court found that “resided” in that context meant “legally resided”.
