Change address while awaiting ILR Replacement card?

I applied for a replacement BRP card when I lost it a month ago, and the application asked for a proof of address, which I provided at the time with a bank statement. I just moved to another address and am not sure if a change of address report will affect the ongoing application? I don't have acces...

BC application date and some help!

1- I obtained ILR through the Skilled Worker route, and the approval email was dated July 15th. However, the BRP was issued on July 20th. Can I submit my application on the 15th? 2- I have included a referee with a British passport number, and I am planning to add a second referee who is a non-Briti...

Re: ILR Life in uk fail

You need to prove by a medical practitioner that you're not able to take the exam, here's the form that needs to be filled in by them to include in your application. How did you study it? There's a very resourceful website, lifeintheuktestweb look for the 'exams' section that makes it a lot easier t...

Re: How will I know my application is complete?

You will receive an email "Application Update" right after they make a decision, then you will receive your BRP in the post within 7 days usually with tracking email sent separately once it's dispatched.

ILR application and the letters

I am preparing to submit the ILR application. My employer sent a signed letter as PDF. Do I need to print declaration form and ask the employer to send over the original letter to present them at the biometric centre? Or uploading both separately as PDF is enough?

Many thanks in advance!

Re: No foreseeable future in the letter

Anyone has any idea if that causes an issue? It still sates "required in their current post" which should be reassuring enough for the CW?

No foreseeable future in the letter

My employer is uncomfortable to include "foreseeable future" in the letter. My contract ends in June but it's renewable.
They provided this instead:
"Mr xxx is still employed at xxx as stated by their contract and is required in their current post."

Will this end in refusal?

Re: Can we Travel Abroad while waiting for BRP

From the approval email that you received must've mentioned:
Do not book travel until you receive your BRP. Doing so may mean that you fail to receive your BRP and that puts you at risk of being unable to prove that you have leave to remain in the UK, and of being refused re-entry into the UK.

ILR minimum hours with new skilled worker's guidance

Due to the covid situation I have a part time offer from my current sponsor with a reduced salary(34k) and reduced hours to 20 a week. I'm a bit confused if that's going to be an issue moving forward with ILR. The company said it's not an issue with the current Tier 2 visa (shortage occupation) I ha...

Don't worry, WFH tax relief is a deduction in an individual’s taxable income and this is not viewed as public funds. :)
