In such cases shouldn't they refund your £500 premium "same day" fee since that is why you pay it? Worth asking at least.

Hello all, I have some queries about PSC appointments. 1. Can you change your PSC appointment with location once you booked online? 2.Is it common to get earlier appointment? The online system in showing appointments after 6 weeks. 3. Any parking recommendations near Croydon? Thank you all for any ...

Only dates physically outside the UK are counted so the date left and arrived (stamping) are excluded as you were on UK soil.

And yeah I could take bank statements showing activity here in UK on those dates. Plus I realised even if they added extra outside UK periods I still am under the 540 day limit haha

legalkhan, I'm not talking about Northern Ireland (capital Belfast) which is part of UK so no stamps either side. I'm talking about Republic of Ireland (capital Dublin) which is an independent country and does check and stamp passports upon entry. Issue is UK doesn't stamp when you return from ROI a...

Why do you have to prove you came back? Why not list it as "came back from Ireland on <date> via <airport/port>" if they have doubts they will ask? (to clarify I am really asking if this is the way to do it) Well we have to show that we were back in the country and the only way is immigra...

ILR doesn't require so you don't declare.

Naturalisation does but one-off's are ignored I believe so you declare to be prudent on your side.

@cyborg001 I believe just booking won't be enough but you have to prove that journey was completed means you have an exit in U.K each time. I am not sure if you can get these information off the airlines but they must have in their record if actually the person has travelled or not. I think before ...

Hi all, I'm applying for SET(LR) soon and have a question/dilemma. I travelled to Republic of Ireland 3 times and when you reenter UK there is no immigration control i.e. no stamp on passport. But they do stamp upon entry to ROI so only one way control. Now how do I prove I came back into UK in time...

From the AN Guide: 1.48- 1.50 You must provide details of all your National Insurance contributions made for your current and previous employment during the past 10 years. To support this claim evidence can be in the form of payslips, P60s covering the relevant period, or a letter(s) from the emplo...

Eh? UKVI agents check at entry and airlines check at exit. Add 2+2 together.

Sorry to hear that mate but you basically went there with missing docs and no counter prep! The form clearly states on page 24 that "All the passports you have held during this time. If you cannot provide them all, you must provide the passports you have together with any Home Office letter(s) ...

Guess I'll try my luck when I apply and speak to the HO people at Croydon regarding IHS refund for remaining FLR(M) period.

What hope do you have when even the government rips you off at every step haha...

This is exactly what I have been wondering as well. I got my FLR(M) in Feb this year and paid £500 IHS. Now I am applying for my ILR next month and assuming I am granted I would have paid IHS for 2+ years when ILR is exempt from IHS. Barring 3 months I have been employed FT since 2010 meaning I pay ...

Would a speed awareness course (no points or court etc.) also need to be declared in ILR or naturalisation applications and would it affect the outcome?

Also, can a speeding fine abroad (rental in Spain) affect at all?

Hi all, I'm trying to book my PSC Croydon premium appointment online but it keeps saying "We do not have any appointments in the next 42 days at your selected location". Other PEOs also show October as the earliest option. Any idea why so packed or any other method to book one as when I di...

Hi all, I have been reading the posts and stories and have some questions regarding my own SET(LR) ILR application. I have completed by 10 years of legal residence last week, meet KoLL requirements and am preparing my postal application. I am confused whether I need to declare any tax or marriage re...

For people like me who have only been on PAYE work do we need to declare any tax information or returns etc?

Confused about the tax return affairs in order bit. I've was a student and then working as FT employee on Tier 2 Gen and now while on Spouse visa so always PAYE.
