Hello, I have the following 2 technical questions: 1) I am on a spouse visa FLR-M from July 2022. When I went to my biometrics then, I presented my passport and BRP card (both were valid then). I received a new BRP card after the approval, and I renewed my passport. When I received the email to enro...

Thanks for the replies..

My passport is usually not stamped in the UK as I use the e-gate, but it is stamped in the countires I go to.

Hello all, I am on spouse visa, planning to apply for ILR in November/December. I will need some advises please: 1- I read that as a spouse, I don't need to wait for year to apply for citizenship I can apply right away. I am planning to apply the following day I get my ILR. IS this OK? 2- When selec...

Thanks a lot for your prompt response

And as we are at it, also I confirm my understanding that Sposue Visa holders are not subject to the time outside UK limitation (180 days etc) as long as they have been with the sponsoring spouse the whole time. Is this correct.

Regards

Hello, and thank you all for your support. I have been following this for a long time and always thought I understood this fact, and planned my timeline accordingly, the earliest date to apply for ILR is 28 days prior to completing 5-year anniversary from the date you entered the UK. I recently star...

Obviously when approved, I recived my new BRP and retruend the old one. I have eVisa account setup using the ...

I received the invitation today and was able to create an IDCheck - UKVI account, all good.

Does anyone know how to change the picture? I see that it has some shades on my head, and I would like to apply for driver's license.

Thanks for the reply

I am trying to get a status verification code (not the one for work or rent).

The information is here:

If you read under "How do I get an eVisa and a UKVI account?"

I applied for my spouse FLR-M in a visa office (went to biometric appointment). I have been trying to login into my UKVI account but it is not recognizing my passport or BRP. Now I get it, it seems that I don't have a UKVI account because I did not use the app. My questions after unable to find an a...

Hi We read in the past the asking the APP is only for people who use regular services, not any priority or anything. We also read that UKVI officer will not see your application until you go for the biometric. So how can she manage the two issues above? She is planning to use the super priority (if ...

Hello, a question on behalf of friend: - spouse of UK citizen - almost 5 years in UK, ready for ILR - complications with passport Question: does she need passport and BRP card for biometric appointment? OR BRP card only will suffice? I also checked HO website for her and I think she does not need an...

Hello all, I am trying to get my provisional DL, and I am asked to send my passport or BRP card. Does anyone know of other way to confirm identity? I am reluctant to send original documents as I travel frequently and no guarantee from DVLA on the returning timing of original documents. Does anyone k...

Dear all
Thanks for all your help and advice, I was able to pass the test on my second attempt. And yes, you can book multiple tests to accommodate availablity, but make sure you cancel 3 days before if you want a refund.

Cheers

Thanks

Due to availability of locations and times , can I make 2 bookings in advance in case I don’t pass
I believe I can get full refund if I cancel the second one before 3 days.

2 questions please: 1- I decided to take the test in another city. I live in Wales and I am going on a trip to London. I found so many convenient times and locations. Will it matter if I take it in. place other than where I live? (i.e. Scotland, Wales, England..!!). I already made the test booking a...

You were not targeted. Appears to be the laid down entry checks so changing centers may not eliminate the likelihood of repeat. Due to those who used deception to get British citizenship.

Thanks for all the replies. I can't remember if I shared my first experience here. I took the first test in an official centre. The people were professional but the experience I felt was humiliating, least to say. It started by taking my head temperature (fine, let it go). Then they won't touch anyt...

Hello I’m hearing that the test might change soon. My next step application is in two years but I want to get it done so I don’t have to worry about it. 1) Do you recommend doing it now and do we know if there will be a transition period? 2) Also what is a good study guide. I went to the official we...

Thanks,, Just a few questions about he future.. - Indeed the expiry date was shortened to 31/12/2024 although the communicated approved date is later than that. Note sure what will happen then. - for ILR, is the requirement the same? i.e. documents showing cohabitation, salary and/or cash savings, e...

Picked up your BRP successfully?

Hi, Yes I picked it up from TNT depot, straight forward process. Big thanks to you and all others who helped advising me on the process.

after a couple of failed delivery, TNT advised to pick it from the deport, which is a better choice for me. However, they advised to come tomorrow between 5 and 7 PM. Does anyone know if I can pick it up today instead? Will that be OK, off course they said NO on the phone the earliest is tomorrow. T...

I attended the bio this morning at 9, still waiting. SPV

Just wondering, do they actually call the bank or council to check on us? I know they have the right and I know I gave them consent, but do they actually call to verify?

Any help please

dear all before I go any further, I want to thank everyone for their comments and suggestions and support. Your hints kept me enthusiastic and optimistic. I kept refreshing and checking ALLLLL UK locations every half an hour and I finally got an opening. So my message to all applicants, keep trying ...
