Re: ILR (Set M) Spouse: Employer letter format

Dear Zimba Thank you for that note. We will secure a stamped and signed employment letter on non-letterheaded paper and will keep that ready to go. In the meantime, we will write to whoever runs admin in this organisation with a request to send us that employment letter on a letterhead. If the lette...

ILR (Set M) Spouse: Employer letter format

Dear all I am getting my ducks in a row to apply for my ILR (Set M) or spouse ILR application using the five-year route. We ran into an issue with my husband's employment letter (an issue we have not faced in the past with other employers). He currently works full-time with a civilian unit of the UK...

Re: Additional documents requested:where to send?

Hi there

Thanks! I already did reply to the email earlier today. I am just so paranoid that I don’t think it’s that simple. 😭

They make everything complicated and I’m just looking to see if there’s a catch.

Re: Statement of Comparability for FLR(M)

I just called NARIC after a bit of panic and explained the situation. Their system had asked me for a Medium of Instruction letter when I had applied, but apparently the box for the English Language Assessment was unchecked on the screen before I paid (I don't know how). So they said obviously I had...

Re: Statement of Comparability for FLR(M)

Thank you. My deadline is on the 12th of June. I applied for this after being advised by NARIC on the phone on May 17th (after my IELTS test was cancelled). Then they sent me this letter without an English assessment. I don't know what to do.

Statement of Comparability for FLR(M)

Hello I have a quick question

I just received a NARIC email carrying my Statement of Comparability. But it says nothing about the English level for each of my qualifications. I am applying for the FLR(M). Will this be accepted by UKVI?

Thanks

Balrog.

Re: Category F financial calculation question

Dear Seagul

I noticed on another thread related to FLR(m) extension you wrote, "For example a weird requirement under category B is to have employer letter from previous employers."

Is an employer letter a sort of personal letter from the employer? Or did you mean old employment contract?

That's from one account. We also have odd 3,000 and some money in the ISA. 3. He has earned approximately 25000 ov...

Just to alert everyone, all VFS centers do not provide the courier service to and from Sheffield. VFS Chennai does not. If you call the VFS helpline they will tell you this facility is available at every center, they are lying.
