[quote=Waterman post_id=2121519 time=1688934564 user_id=277789] From the success posts I have read it seems that Birmingham is taking longer to complete the process than Hounslow. Would that be fair conclusion? [/quote] Looks like it - 8 weeks and counting for a straight forward application (we had ...

Hi Our family (myself, spouse and child) have been on ILR for over a year now. I am planning to apply for naturalisation for the three of us with an intention of ultimately applying for the British passport. I went through the naturalisation guide but still had a few queries so asking here: 1. Can t...
Thanks Cullinan, that is a great idea. I was thinking of applying for Visa extension and biometrics for myself and my son, then vary our applications to ILR when we qualify. To enable this, I was planning on delaying my wifes biometrics to mid Mar so that her decision is not made before we vary our ...
Hi My wife is on a Tier 2 General visa, her details: BRP Issue date: 5 Feb 2016 Expiry: 14 Feb 2021 My India born son also traveled along with her, so his BRP has the same dates. I was already in the UK on a Tier 2 ICT visa, I switched as a dependent in UK about a month after their arrival in UK. So...
Hi I had previously asked a few questions, but the original post is now locked, hence adding a new post. My background: I am on T2 General Dep, my wife is the main T2 General holder - Our visas expire in Feb 2021. I have some questions please: 1. For English language test, we have taken the Trinity ...

Assume that my wife qualifies and applies for ILR sometime in Jan 2021. I would apply for our visa extension in early Feb 2021. When I apply to extend our visa, my...

Hi While having a look at my wife's Tier 2 general dates, realised one thing: Visa start date on the Visa vignette sticker is 7 Feb 2016 My wife applied for a BRP once she came to the UK The Visa issue date on the BRP is 5 Feb 2016. Is that intentional or a mistake. If intentional, then is the BRP d...
Hi, couple of questions on the documents required to prove co-habitation: 1. Council tax statement has both our first names as initials and with complete last name like Mr. A <> and Mrs. A <> Is that acceptable or is the full name required as per the passport? 2. Does a letter from council checking ...
