British immigrant visa: renewal and application for permanent residence for two and a half years

Hello, 1. The difference between three-year and two-and-a-half-year discretionary residence is that you can apply for permanent residence after obtaining a three-year special residence visa, which can be extended for three years after the expiration, while two and a half years need to be extended to ten years before you can apply for permanent residence.

2. Most of the people who were granted 3-year status after their failed refugee applications started from 20 1 1, and most of them were granted special residence due to the last batch of 5-year cases. At present, except for a few cases with criminal records, the Ministry of the Interior will grant a three-year visa. The application form is also from FLR (O) to DL and then to FLR (DL). The process of the Ministry of the Interior from last year to September, from charging to not charging, and then charging has also been determined. However, from 2065438+September 2005, the Ministry of the Interior will charge each person an application fee of 649 pounds and an annual health care fee of 200 pounds (IHS).

From now on, the vast majority of people who apply for residence permit are customers who have stayed for two and a half years. According to the policy of the Ministry of the Interior since April, customers with extended status are required to provide valid passports. If a valid passport is not provided, the Ministry of the Interior can return the application and ask for a passport as soon as possible. If you don't provide a passport, the application will be invalid.

4. The Ministry of Interior translated its request into Decree No.20151211. 34BB said that anyone applying for extension and permanent residence must provide a valid passport, except the following persons.

1) stateless person;

2) those who have been granted refugee or human rights protection;

3) Persons whose passports have been lost and cannot be reissued;

3) Persons whose passports have been seized by the Ministry of the Interior. Applications submitted after 5.20151211must be valid passports. Then, if the personal information of some people who have obtained identity for two and a half years or three years is inconsistent with the passport information, they need to apply to the Ministry of the Interior for changing their personal information (including name, date of birth and address) as soon as possible. This application is called Conditional Transfer (TOC). If the TOC application is successful, the renewal problem is not big; If the TOC application fails, there is no need to update it. However, even if the application fails, the Ministry of the Interior will give you the right to discount.

6. Finally, according to the current policy of the Ministry of Home Affairs, refugees have the right to apply for permanent residence in the UK after failing to get a three-year preferential treatment within three years. There is no requirement to live in Britain and English B 1.
