Dear All,

I received ILR during Jan 2013. I had taken up life in the uk test then. Is there any expiry date for this test or is it valid for naturalisation application in 2016?

Thanks in advance.

Best,
Prabhu

Hello,

Can someone confirm the dimension for the photo for passport renewal. The application form says 2x2 inch where as people have been saying different ones in the posts.

Thanks,

Hello everyone, I am a limited company director with ILR. I would like to visit the US for couple of days for a business reason. I have a valid multiple-entry B1 visa which I received while working in India 5 years back. Will I be able to visit the states using this visa alone or should I apply for ...

Hello All, This thought is keeping me awake for a while now. I have my ILR appt next week. I got involved in a driving offence last November.

My ILR application is coming up in Feb 2013. [...] Today I was involved in an accident. [...] I was told I will be getting 3 points plus a fine. Will this disqualify me for my ILR? Is this what you are trying to say? Hi Lucapooka, Yes you are right. I could have conveyed the same thing in fewer wor...

I feel terrible. My ILR application is coming up in Feb 2013. Came here on HSMP in 2008 and have renewed once on Tier 1. Today I was involved in an accident. I drove on the wrong side in a slip road following other cars which did the same, because of a congestion on the M4. I wrongly assumed that th...

I am not an expert, but to me it appears they both have to go back after the current visa expiry. Then her husband can apply for a fresh tier-1 application claiming for UK experience, earnings etc. He can apply for his wife as dependent together, but this might complicate things. Hence best is to co...

Hey gotcha, How you doing, not heard from you in a long time. Anyways, it does not work that way in LLoyds bank online credit card statements. I have heard it works that way for hsbc and many of my friends have been able to determine if their payments were successful using this method. Alas! Cheers...

Hi guys, I am currently in a self created trouble. I got my hsmp approcal around last week of nov 2007. Around the same time, I had joined a new company. Now, I have resigned this company. But this company is not willing to relieve me before march 31st 2008. But due to some personal reasons I dont w...

@prabhus14 I think your application is fresh & not a review or complaint. If its a review or complaint the normal processing times have been incresed to 6-8 weeks which means 2 months or more is common. But if its a fresh application, you can request the Customer care to connect to the case wor...

Has anyone been facing the same issue here?

Hi prabhus14, It seems to me that they are performing verification checks on your application. Normally, they ask your local British High Commission to contact your employer and verify information. Caseworker put up a verification request and do not look into your case for one month . So, I will su...

Hi Guys, I had applied for my hsmp on July 12th and got the reference on 18th. I started calling them for status from Aug 10th. They kept on telling me "Case worker is assigned. No other information". Now today Aug 23rd, they told me "Case worker has asked for more information on Aug ...
