Yeah, we're both came from the united arab emirates and was a resident there for over 10 years before we came her in late october 2012. I guess, based on what you guys have advised, there is no other way but to go back to ph and apply there. Anyway, it is always wise to abide the rules and follow what it says as we have never intended to bypass it. We have been a good citizens where ever we go and we'll stay that way.

Thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts. I really think you've been helpfull.

you could try and apply for FLR(M) but UKBA would not like it, and might well end up in a refusal and you could be waiting along time.
