Re: Settled status processing times

Could be caused by Christmas and new year holidays !!! I'm still quite unimpressed. While they say the normal processing time is under 5 days, reality is over 10 times that, about 60 days it seems. I'm guessing when the UK is finally 100% out, moving to the UK for work will be quite unappealing for...

Good evening, no, I have provided our PR registration number and they probably checked it, they have not requested anything from us.

Re: Confusion PR- Eu settlement scheme

Thanks very much for the prompt response! I would really feel a lot better if i did the settled status quickly to be honest! But by doing it i will still have my PR certificate that i can use at the mn1 application of my child. This PR would be still fit for purpose when i become settled, right?

Hi there, my question is can my child travel once mn1 application submitted? My understanding is: We do the online application, upon paying you can book an appointment to biometric data at UKVCAS where they also copy your passport and you get it back straight away. Am I right? Also can you travel wh...

Re: Form T - Referee requirements

I have looked into this myself, but have not submittted application. I believe that letter provided by nursery and school confirming that your child was a pupil and had a good attendance should satisfy the HO. It is actually hard to prove the first years of life, when they were at home with you and ...
