I was actually asking if the applicant can take a new job whilst waiting.

Thanks Zimba,

Is the applicant able to work whilst waiting? 18 months is so long

Any updates with this post? Worrisome really

Thanks guys. Ukvi eventually sent a more complete email with how to reply; I replied to.

Thanks. I’ve done exactly that. Fingers crossed. Hope I get a response soon.

Hey folks, I got an email following my priority application as follows; “Thank you for your application for permission to stay in the UK. Although we would normally decide your application within five working days from the date it was submitted, unfortunately this is not going to be possible in your...

Hi Casa & others

I am currently completing the TOC form to apply for a biometric Resident Permit. I’m being asked for passport details.

I have a new passport with the new name.

Should I enter details of the new or old passport?

Thanks for your reply as usual CASA.

How do I apply for a new BRP. All the links are signposting me to the MCC form.

Any links or forms I should be aware of?

Hi I am on a Tier 2 dependent visa and have just successfully changed my name on my passport to include my husband’s surname. I need advice regarding the relevant form I need to complete. MCC? If yes do I get a response from the home office? And do they just send a BRP to me automatically? Can I con...

Vinny and CR001 could you please help with this query?

Any comments please. As you can see from the merged posts, I have been asking this question for awhile now...

I was at the UK border agency today (Liverpool) to extend my tier 2 visa. I was told the application (myself, wife and baby) is held until I show evidence that I have applied for a passport from the Nigerian embassy for my baby. I argued that babies born in the UK can have visas as long as there is ...

Does the home office frown at not making pension contributions at the time of applying for ILR as some folks say it gives the impression that one does not plan to stay in the UK permanently.

Thank you for your detailed response. But I am 1 month away from extension of my tier 2 visa. Should I change my passport to reflect the new name before application for extension of tier 2 visa? Should I carry on with tier 2 extension and get a BRP using my current passport and old name before chang...

As long as your new baby isnt travelling outside the UK, then you can sort out the visa later.

It must be costly applying for you and 5 dependents! How many years of leave to remain are you applying for?

I just spent ups of £7000 to extend my stay and that of my 2 dependents in this country. Thankfully I earn a decent salary but I wonder how other foreigners survive in this very expensive country. Is there something I’m missing? The common man must be taking a real hit I guess...

CR001 please?

My baby was born 2 weeks ago. I plan to include her as part of my tier 2 extension. My baby is yet have any nationality. What do we put as my baby’s nationality on our application for leave to remain? There’s no option for ‘no nationality’

Thanks

My worry is that changing my foreign passport has to be done outside the uk. Would I be allowed back into the uk with a new name on a new passport different from that on my biometric permit?

No, we have not change our foreign passport which still carries my maiden name.

We both use Nigerian passports

Hi,

I am on a tier 2 dependent visa and my husband and I are about to extend our stay in the uk. Please how do I go about changing my surname to his as part of this process?

Thanks in anticipation

Hal

Please what do I put as nationality of a baby born in the uk but has no registered nationality or passport yet?

I am trying to extend my tier 2 visa.

Thank you Casa!
Much appreciated!

Hi Guys, I’d be grateful with some advice. My current Tier 2 General Visa expires August 2018. My Passport expires July 2019. I plan to get a 2 or 3 year Tier 2 General Visa extension when the current one expires. 1. Will my employers be able to give a 3 year contract despite the fact that my passpo...
