All, I have a question re my NCS/JCAP application sent on 15/10. As I applied on basis of 3 year residency (married to a Brit) my entire qualifying period and related absences were covered on my current (2nd) passport issued in Aug 2012. The NCS lady only took copies of this passport and didn't touc...

For the fee they charge I think I am just going to apply for another passport I can then use this whilst the HO process my application. Eh? Can you just randomly apply for 'extra' passports? What about your BRP card then? Also a new passport would mean your existing one would become cancelled/inval...

In my case at Hammersmith council the lady was pretty good and relaxed as Saturday appointment so I was the only one and no waiting. She only kept my original employer letters and Life in UK pass letter (said HO want original for this) but copied and returned everything else e.g. P60s, marriage cert...

Can appeals like this sometimes win given they refused correctly under the rules?

Alexhui, this just sounds like complete BS and so unfair just because UK don't do exit stamps.

Can you not get your bank statements for that period showing you used ATM or transactions on UK soil?

Guys, I have an update. I just got a response back from that PSC Refunds email address telling me that my full £500 IHS refund has been processed and money should be back on my card inside 28 days!! As per the above they shouldn't since I switched to ILR nearly 8 months after my spouse visa (which ...

My passport only had UK entry stamps and then entry and exit stamps from other countries. UK doesn't do exit stamps but they should be able to calculate from other country stamps.

I also attached an excel sheet showing all dates, which country visited and total days out of UK over 10 years.

It's happened! They refunded my full £500 IHS that I paid back in January for spouse visa hahaha!

Get in!

Think I will just mention it on page 22 additional info.

Hi all, I had a Speed Awareness Course few years ago (no points or fine) and I'm confused about section 3.2 as it asks for: Note: We will carry out criminal record checks on all applicants. You must give details of all criminal convictions. This includes road traffic offences (including all drink dr...

just an update today i have received IHS refund after i have sent a letter to caseworker. Many thanks Hi Saj, so you posted a letter to caseworker? What did you say/write specifically? I was also told that IHS may not be refunded as it is your choice to vary your leave category. Did you get full am...

If done via PSC then email pscappointmentrefunds@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk for all refunds related issues.

KT you don't need to provide all your previous visas etc. copies to UKVI! This is not a requirement and they are the issuing authority so they obviously have all this information on your records. I had many visas too but got my ILR just yesterday without providing details or copies of my previous vi...

The other thing is, there is always some notice before very drastic rule changes.. It is a tough choice but if I were you, I might just continue on Tier 2 while keeping a close eye on any rule changes (assuming you have no intention of changing your employer and are happy with the current job).. An...

Congrats and thanks for the.update.Could u plz tell us that wat was your last visa u extended from?

Many tyanks

Cheers! I was on spouse FLR(M) which I only got in Feb, but since I completed 10 years I could switch to ILR so early into it.

Tough choice! I'd say ILR'ise one of you so you are 'safe' and nothing to fear ahead given how things are changing. If your relationship is strong and subsisting then it doesn't really matter in the long run if you lose 1-2 years in grand scheme of things. :) Though I don't see any rules changing fo...

Update for benefit of others: I successfully got my ILR today at PEO Croydon and this wasn't an issue at all. I didn't bring this to attention and simply gave my passports and an excel calculations sheet showing all my travel dates over past 10 years. No questions were asked so this mustn't have be...

I had 11 month short of my 10 years then, and even though they refused me withing 3 months, I was able to appeal through and withdraw appeal and apply for my ILR and now am british citizen. Wow! On a personal level great for you and I'm happy for you but this is why people have lost faith in the sy...
