The staff was very polite and quick. They have very good space for kids/families to stay and wait. I provided only o...

Hi,

Hi, Thanks a lot Manci for the detailed reply. 1. So that means to save on fees, I can have new CoS with any date after 26th June 2015 and apply for 3 years visa (to complete 5 years for ILR). Correct? 2. And if I don't change visa for dependents, will it impact their ILR application with me later o...
