Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well. I have an upcoming interview for an IT Support role with the Home Office as part of my Skilled Visa Application. If anyone here has recently gone through this process for similar role or any other IT role, could you please share the questions that were aske...

The first one was applied on 18th-Jan and the second one was almost one month ago but both were issued at the same time.

Thank you everyone who responded on my query. We have received the DCOS and were able to assign it well in time. If anyone has COS or DCOS they must be assigned by 7pm on 2nd April as SMS system will go down for the new changes, any pending COD/DCOS request or unused DCOS/COS will be cancelled that ...

Dear All, If the defined COS is applied before April'24 changes (e.g. Salary 27K) and COS is issued after April'24 changes, would the applicant be able to apply with the old salary as the COS application was made earlier? Also, I have noticed that some employers (take away type of business) are gett...

Ok, many thanks!

Dear All, I need to apply for British citizenship for my daughter who is under 18 but her other passport (non British) has expired. I applied for the renewal of that but again as my wife ID card was also expired so they put it on hold which is ridiculous as wife's passport was valid with all other d...

Hi Guys,

Sorry to ask you again, actually I need to apply urgently and still waiting for a reply so if anyone can help me here that would be great.

Thanks

Dear Zimba and other respected Gurus,

I want to register my daughter under 18 as British citizen (form MN1), but her overseas passport has just expired. Can I apply with an expired passport or a valid passport is needed for this type of application?

Thank you in advance!

Many thanks zimba and everyone supported me on this thread. You guys are life savior. Don't have enough words to thank you for your guidance.

Many thanks vinny. Really appreciate your support. Dose it mean that if she don't travel then she can continue on her existing visa until expire which is Jan 2023? I'm asking this because, as dependent she will complete 7 years in next couple of month. FLR(M) is of 2.5 years, so if she delay her app...

Many thanks vinny for your response. Just one last question, immediately after my ILR I need to make application for my dependent FLR(M) but it there any time limit in respect of number of days. I'm expected to get my ILR by mid of Dec, can I make her FLR(M) application in Jan or I have to do it in ...

Many thanks manci and CR001 for your response. Considering the other dependencies I can’t afford to delay my ILR, I have to apply this December only but if I need to switch my dependent visa also then I want to understand what are the timelines for making the FLR(M) visa application. Regarding Spous...

I am currently on Tier 2 General visa which is valid until Jan 2023. My wife and daughter is on my T2 general dependent visa having the similar validity, which is until Jan 2023. My 10 years is getting completed this December 2021 and I am planning to apply for ILR on 10 years route this Dec. Now my...

Thanks a lot zimba. I really don't have words to thank for the work which you are doing, guiding the people in the right direction. Otherwise I would have kept waiting for 1 more year thinking that I'm still not eligible if I listened to him. I really agree with what you said. He was reading and sha...

Thanks for your reply zimba. Yes I remember, and as per your response only I understood that my 1st year in the UK from 2012 will be considered, including that period my 10 years suppose to be completed this year, in Dec 2021. With this understanding, I have shared all my details and asked the solic...

I have a question related to the continuous stay in the 10-year ILR route. I left the UK on 8th Dec 2012 my visa expired on 10 Dec 2012. I applied for my new visa in Feb 2013 which I got the validity starting from 19th Feb and I enter back in UK on 24th Feb 2013. Is this gap of approx 70+ days when ...

Respected Gurus, Apology if this question is already posted. My brother is married to an EU national and is on pre-settled status. Currently, he is outside of the UK. How long he can stay out of the UK continuously in one year and still eligible to apply for settlement within five years? Would like ...

Thank you so much dear Zimba!!

Dear Gurus, On behalf of my friend I would like to request you (especially Zimba ) to help me on the below question, which is related to the gap in his stay in UK. "My first visa was ICT Short Term having validity from 11/12/2011 to 10/12/2012 on which I travelled to the UK on 02/01/2012 and le...

Thank you Zimba, It is very unfortunate that I missed it by a couple of days

Dear Zimba and all other respected Gurus, I have a question regarding my ILR application which I am going to submit at the end of this month. I applied for initial Tier1 Entp visa before 06 April 2014 and the visa was granted on 24th April 2014. 1st extension went very smooth and granted on 1st June...

Hi Zimba, One more question. At the moment I have one full time and one part time employee in my company. These employees joined in 2016. Do I need to create two fresh employments for ILR or can carry on with these old ones? If I keep the old employees do I need to submit the FPS of 2016 also to sh...
