As answered before me, your lawyer is correct.

But just curious, in what thread did you read anything opposite?

ILR application SET 0 Got a letter yesterday with application back because I missed ticking a yes or no box on section 7. Cant believe I made this little mistake. Anyway easy enough to send back in they had an Envelope already done and marked just had to re post. Atleast its been assigned to someon...

All cases are different from each other. Some cases take long and some... forever.

This is just a polite request to people who are phoning the Home Office for their application status before 6 months are passed. You are always going to get the same answer no matter how hard you try. And that answer is not likely to be satisfactory if you are trying to see when the decision is goin...

Sorry Somehow I think I was not clear in putting my question forward, I am still doubtful about this case and hence wanted to be even more descriptive as below. Baby Born in UK - Date 21 September 2014 .. Birth registered and abbreviated birth certificate obtained. Father ILR eligibility - October ...

I cant say if your application is going to be affected or not but I believe you should sort out the fraud allegations with Lloyds bank before anything. Trying to open an account in a different bank will yield you nothing and wont make this fraud allegation go away (it would stay in your credit histo...

Right just to give you guys an update on my situation, i finally got my ILR approved and got my passport and biometric card today. Allahumdulilha Well chuffed! bloody hell! the wait was excruciating. Applied: 4th Feb 2014 Biometric Enrolment: 18 Feb 2014 Passports + Biometric Received: 26 September...

28 days grace period?

Yes it is SET(O).

I have recently sent my ILR postal application and with that I sent my previous employer’s letter. Later on I realised there is a correction in that letter. They got my leaving date wrong, day and month are ok but instead of 2013 they put 2014 in it. So now I have got another letter with the correct...

Your wife will be eligible for ILR through 5 year route. You cannot include her on your ILR application as a dependant as she is not eligible yet. You can apply to extend her visa as PBS dependant until she has accumulated 5 years of residence.

I thought I would mention this here (a bit off topic but worth noting). Trinity college guys are not accurate in giving info about the exam. In the exam I mentioned above, you have to prepare a topic of your own choice but be careful in selecting the topic. They wont accept any topic on an event whi...

This is the snapshot of certificate that my wife got. This is acceptable for ILR and confirmed by Trinity College. If this helps.

If the business expenses you get form part of your salary i.e. they were agreed in advance and are shown on your pay slip then yes you can include these. But if those were just one off or you got reimbursed for these expenses, then I am afraid they wont count towards your points. I was in the same s...

Your daughter will be allowed in the UK as long as she would have a valid T1G dependant visa. You may be asked why she doesnt have ILR while the parents do but I dont think anyone would deny her the entry based on that.

Thanks Subtle, We were done with the visa for T1 general 1st extension(2 yrs) and she conceived a baby here and left to India as I made my T1G 2nd extension(3yrs) and she made her extension from INDIA. she was having no visa at that time... She must have applied for entry clearance instead of exten...

Obie, Her 1st visa was granted on 02nd Mar '2011 - and she came to UK - 16th march '2011 - 25th june'2012. her 2nd visa was granted on 02thMay'2013- and she came to UK - 12th May'2013- till date ( but been to INDIA for two weeks in April '2014' ) What was her status between 25th June 2012 and 01st ...

Thanks for the reply, What is the status of newborn child if I have ILR and my wife is on Tier 2 general dependent Visa? Do we have the option between chosing between British and Indian citizenships ? Also can we claim uk child benefits ? Please start a separate thread for your own questions. Its n...

On SET(O), if you will be applying her visa as your dependent then you dont need to show her absences (they are irrelevant for that matter). You only need to show proof of cohabitation, provided she meets the criteria (2 years or 5 years rule). Edit: If she came in 2013, she'd have to meet 5 years c...

Any May applicants who has received response from home office. Anyone who has received response in 3 months..as far as I have seen it is taking maximum 4 months ..right..

Its close to 5 months. 18 weeks in most cases.

Bear in mind that you need to fill in this section only when your 5 years continuous residence is made up of Tier 1 General and any other category.
Its not applicable in case 5 years are spent under Tier 1 General and no other category.

Same here!

1) This question has been debated quite a few times. Search for it on the forums and decide what you want to do. Even if you have not been outside UK for more than 180 days, you still have to provide the evidence. 2) You only have to provide evidence if your consecutive 5 years period is not made up...

Many colleges run English courses for 6 months to 1 year for you to pass the required English language test. However, the onus is entirely upon you to know and assess your English language capabilities and then decided whether you want to learn English before taking a test or you have good enough kn...

Its pretty logical that only one application can be considered at one time. So if you apply ILR dependant then you must withdraw the naturalisation application first. In normal circumstances, when you send any visa application from within the UK then you have to stay in the UK while your application...
