Re: Life in UK test - Address verification?

Thanks for the reply, I'm sure I am overthinking. I'll answer the questions as asked and ignore anything before the issuance of my Tier 2 General visa as its not in the scope of the application.

Thank you.

Re: ILR Application Questions

Thank you for the review and note. I'll likely go for an early January application with super priority to avoid (excessive) delay on reponse and (perhaps) BRP delay so I can continue to travel for work. I had always looked at the end date on my BRP and assumed it that was the date that counted for t...

Thanks for the response, very helpful. So to confirm, it would seem that the easiest/most time effecient process would be to have her office renew her Tier 2 General visa for another 2 years so that she has 5 years on a 'single visa type' and then apply on her own. However, if they dont she would mo...

I have been on a tier 2 general visa for 4.5 years (5 year visa set to expire in Feb 2022). I understand the general process for my application to ILR for myself.

Re: Moving House (within UK) -shippingh items from USA

Thanks. To be clear, I'm only looking to understand if we could get relief on the vat/customs aspect, we fully expect to pay for the actual shipping costs.

Perhaps answer remains the same, perhaps changes.
