Just asking if this wait is normal? Also there was nothing mentioned about Biometrics during application and in the guides. Is this a new thing? Getting worried here!

Another team is working on December applications which is moving forward. Stay optimistic, guys. :) I like the attitu...

That might be the case actually. That's the only logical explanation I think

are getting their approval.

Hope our time is getting closer.

When did you apply Dal?

Sure tulip11 just trust me and you will see that it will happen rakeysh.patel, dont know what number I would put for that sense but yeah you can call it 190th sense lol

Majority of applicants who applied in the first two weeks of March and specially those who applied in first week are still waiting , just few of them got their approvals. The 2nd half of March are getting their approvals fastly as compared to first half . I think the last week of Feb with the first...

Congratulations to those who got their approvals It's really nice to see people getting the approvals even tho I'm still waiting

That link you posted is for people who are already on a spouse visa route and coming to an end of their qualifying period in order to apply for ILR. It will not be applicable for your friend. The route to settlement as a spouse of a settled or BC person used to be 2 years but back in 2012, the HO c...

I see. Sorry for confusion and thanks very much for the explanation and prompt responses Casa.

You are definitely amazing!

No. She would first have to switch to Spouse on FLR(M) and this is a 5 year route to ILR. The 'clock' would reset to zero if she switches. How long as she been in the UK on her work visa? Thanks for prompt response Casa. She has been living in the UK for about 3 years I guess. What I know is she ca...

Hi guys, My friend has just been naturalised as BC. His wife has a work permit in the UK (it's called Turkish businessperson visa I guess). They have been married for 2.3 years. The question is: because they are married and he is British citizen now, can she apply for ILR as a family member of BC? M...
