Hi folks, I understand this is a timeline thread but I need some advice on one of the questions in the parents details section of the passport application form. After Applicants Mother's details it says " Date of marriage/civil partnership to the father/2nd parent of the person mentioned in sec...

Hi folks, I spoke to HO just now and been told a letter has been posted. The lady on the line was extremely pleasant and helpful. I thought I should share this with all the November applicants still waiting and those who have applied afterwards. Like so many other applicants I had my doubts about th...
Hi folks, As you can see I am also one of the November applicants waiting patiently. The HO generic responses which I have so far got from the HO call centre are: 1) under consideration 2) In process 3) Could not complete 4) Not completed Followed by you have to keep waiting. I wonder how many of yo...

Hi Folks, I just spoke to UKBA regarding my Naturalization Application submitted through NCS Edinburgh on 22nd Nov 2013. The chap on the phone was very polite and helpful. But what I was told was quite unsatisfactory, he said that my application is under consideration which is fine but then he said ...
Hi Folks, I have found question 2.1 in form AN quite confusing. The question itslef makes sense, the date of first arrival which I gather means that the very first time one enters the UK. But then in brackets it says see page 7 of AN Guide . When you see the guide it says Enter the day you first arr...

It is a bit tricky option because maintenance requirement means you have that much money avavilable to you to support you but in case, money is a loan the chances for your application getting approved would be very little(almost nil). The homeoffice can argue that you don't have the financial status...
Well it has not started yet but as far as I know there is never a restriction in changing your immigration status if you are legally in UK. It would be same for switiching from Tier 2 to Tier 1. Current example is people like me who are switiching from Work Permit(New Tier 2 in future) to Tier 1.
I think you can call them and ask about the progress of your application. you are right, the acknowlegement letter says that wait for 28 days before contacting BIA for application progress. I am not sure but someone told me that you can track your application on the VFS website.
There is a minimum requirement ogf 75 points so you don't have to worry about it. It doesn't matter if someone has scored 95 points or more. You have to score at least 75 points for Attributes and 10 points each for English Language requirement and maintenance.
I forgot to answer second part of your post. Once you get Tier 1 approved, you don't have to do anything about your status. You can carry on your current job without telling your employer about Tier 1 or get another job. There is no need to be worried about it, just start the application process. Go...
Hi, I think the companies which are saying this to you are not interested because they don't want to get involved in your (Old WP process) Tier 2 at the completion of this 1 or 2 yrs leave you have. But you don't loose heart and keep trying because there are still a lot of employer's who can give yo...
