Congrats,
>Now, my passport expires in a few months- does any one know if its mandatory to get the permit transferred or is it just ok to carry both passports?

I renewed my passport here in London, no need to transfer the stamp, you need to carry both passports.

Dear Members, I've been following some discussions in this forum and have come to know that to qualify for ILR you can't stay for more than 90 days in one go outside the country and also the total stay during the past 5 years should not be more than 180 days. The guidance and immigration laws are no...

Hi,
I think you have to answer K1 regardless of the yes/no option and don't skip to L directly, your form may be returned because it's not fully completed. Since your answer is No then you have to skip J5 then fill K1 and then K3 after that L.

Many thanks for the post. It's extremely useful.

Hi,
A tabular format would be better. Here's a good format available:

Hi,
Congratulations and thanks for sharing your concern about early application.

Hi,
Good luck for your application. Looks to be straight forward and simple.
Can you please share what payment method you've used and how did you post your application?

Hello All, Thanks for all your valuable posts. My application is all set will post a final checklist soon. I have a small doubt: Shall I include the index pages of the form or exclude those pages and start with payment page? For example in the tier1 general form version 10/09 shall I include pages 1...

It would be Tier1 (General) version 10/09
I think you are in UK and wish to extend your stay.
If you have dependant then pbs dependant version 10/09.

Hi Vikram, Many thanks for the reply. I also thought so initially but if I go to J5 the options are: An initial (switching) application - go to question K2 An extension of his/her existing leave - go to Section L (I think you've selected this one) A result of a change of employment - go to Section L...

Dear Members, Question J4 on PBS Dependant application version 10/09: Has the main applicant applied to have his/her application assessed in accordance with paragraphs 39-42 of the HSMP Forum Ltd.
