Hi Khalid, Thanks for this. It is a big help that you listed actually the documents mentioning the period they should cover. I was quite confused about photocopying all last 5 years pay slips, bank statements etc. :) Can you also mention how many years period cohabitation documents from 3 different ...
I got my HSMP in October 2006 and landed in the UK mid of Feb 2007. I'm applying for ILR in person next week hoping for it to be straight forward case. I'll update this post after I attend my appointment next week.
Thanks Yanbo.
Regarding bank statements, can you point out to any written guidance notes asking 3 months bank statements should be submitted? I'm confused if 3 months should be enough or should I get statements for 6 months or perhaps last one year.
Hi blessco_system, I'm exactly in the same situation as yours. My appointment is also on the 26th and my company also pays on the 28th of every month with the exception of December where they paid earlier due to Christmas. I'm really hoping this shouldn't be an issue but please let me know if you fi...
Bank statement, definitely original and almost all other documents. However, for property documents she provided attested photocopies as you may know what happens if they get lost.
Yes Abulotus, she was granted visa after 2nd attempt. I completely forgot updating this post. She got visa in June and traveled and now back in Pakistan after staying here for just over 2 months.
I respect your opinion. Times have changed and my mother-in-law was herself retired from a Government job and gets an OK amount as pension. I'm not saying that it is around GBP 1k per week but it is not even Rs. 5k a month. And GBP 4k for her visit were mentioned as maximum amount that can be spent ...
I also thought about appeal being a better option but it takes longer. And I don't know any appeal where the applicant got his visa stamped in less than 4 month's time. And I don't want to wait that long. Documents will unfortunately stay the same but I can add a few things like salary slips, bank s...
Thanks for your response navnas. Relying on public funds is not an option for me and I never even thought about depending on public funds. My wife is also employed full time and we didn't experience any financial hardships here. To answer your questions: Yes, all incomings and outgoings are reflecte...
Many thanks for your response on this. I'm also thinking about re-applying but: (1) We explained the large sums of money where they came as gratuity on retirement. (2) The deposit they specifically mentioned was explained because that was withdrawn 2 months later and that was also visible in the ban...
Hi, I desperately need some expert advice on this. My mother-in-law applied for family visitor visa from Karachi, Pakistan in February 2010. She got refusal last week and the reasons given are as under: - You claim to be retired and state that you receive a pension of Rs. xxx per month. However, you...
I just read the following which clearly means that if we've got points on the basis of degree taught in English and the degree is still recognized as UK equivalent then this fulfills english language requirement. Please read the following with special attention to the text in bold and share your vie...
Hello All, The Pass Notification Letter for Life in the UK test states: ' ...Your success at this test also demonstrates that your level of competence in English meets the required standard for naturalisation or indefinite leave to remain. No futher prrof of this is needed....' Does this mean the le...
I applied for NARIC only to never receive any letter from them. Though they claim that they re-sent my letter 3 times (2 times at residential address and 1 time at office address) but I never got any letter from them. Might be that was mishandling of Pakistan Post but I got my HSMP approved anyway e...
Fadi, Can you please give details of your bachelors and masters degree. The degree program duration, degree name and the awarding institution. In addition to that, regarding your earning power points, I would advise you to include your bank statement for the whole year for which you're claiming poin...
Did you get your card enabled on internet? You have to call Askari Bank Credit Card call center and ask them to enable your credit for internet transaction for some time during which Home Office tries to charge your card. This is because of the reason that the credit cards from Pakistan have this re...
