To clarify, my wife is not eligible for settlement as she need to complete 5 years total as my dependent Neither your wife nor the child are eligible for ILR now, they both follow the same route as your dependants. Unsure why you thought this rule applies to one dependant only. Further, I would lik...
While I don't doubt that's how it works in practice, unfortunately my brain would make me too paranoid to make something up about already having returned it I'd spend the whole time waiting for a response incredibly anxious. If keeping the card if affecting your wellbeing, then for your own peace o...
I think the question is self-explanatory: "Since you first entered the UK, have you had any absences from the UK?" You need to put in here all the absences after you entered the UK, which is supported by submitting the stamped pages of the passport(s) in the period. Don't overthink about t...
You can use the date when you actually entered the UK and still will be within the qualifying period, which is dictated by the visa issue date, so the application will proceed accordingly.
It entirely depends on your field, role/responsibilities, etc.
For example, someone working in dance, music or literature - some of the fields covered by the route - wouldn't fit applying to the Royal Academy of Engineering... and so on.
Just an example as this was me. I have a SW visa that started on 25/07/2019 + 5 years - 28 days = 27/06/2024. I could submit my ILR application even today and, as I have up to 45 days to book biometrics, I would book this appointment on 27/06/2024 (day # 40) or at any date onwards up to day # 45. Th...
What you received from the university is a statement of guarantee that you use - together with a job description - to apply for endorsement to any of the endorsing bodies in the list.
Once endorsement is granted you then apply for the GTV.
Unsure what happened re dates, it also might be the case of a typo as in the currency conversion. In any case, the basis for the rejection in the letter are written following the immigration rules and the caseworker guidance, they won't tell you every single red flag raised during the assessment. Su...
I will leave the room for others to comment on the PAP, but I would like to highlight some items here. Refusal reason You state that you intend to visit the UK for 2 month and 30 days to visit your son and his family. That's a long time for a single visit (and a first time visitor), which could - ne...
The letter from current employer indicating that absences were approved is suffice. Also submit stamped pages on the passport(s) for the qualifying period (five years). That list on the portal is not exhaustive.
Can i apply on the basis that employer is reapply for sponsor license and i need extension to purse the same That's not a compelling reason. You had two years to find a job with a licenced sponsor if you wanted to stay working in the UK beyond your Graduate visa - assuming your employer didn't have...
The visa expiry date is the "valid until" date on the BRP. If it says 31-05-2024 then you need to submit another application before/by that date, if not you will be an overstayer. An endorsement application is not a visa application, you apply for a GTV after the endorsement is granted. No...
Hi - I have checked with our immigration consultant and they have told me that I need to get experience and leave of absence letter from my previous employer. I am trying to make another attempt hence looking for a single format for the letter that covers both aspects (experience and leaves). I rem...
What route are you applying for? who is the endorsing body? When you submit the endorsement application, usually the endorsing body tells you an estimated timeline to get a decision. The first stage implies applying for endorsement, it's not a visa application. Once endorsement is granted then the v...
25/07/2019 - 25/07/2024 - five years, the day before (24/07) is day one-backwards. The date of decision is highlighted in there because that's the most beneficial date for an applicant, it's the last stage of the process. The date of application is the least beneficial and somehow less relevant for ...
Remember that one fundamental requirement to apply for British citizenship is to demonstrate your intention to make the UK as your principal home. It's sensible to avoid having extended absences from the country just before applying and then come to specifically submit the application, leave again a...
