Dear Immigration Board experts, You have helped me immensely throughout my visa extension and ILR application process. Without your guidance and support, I would not have been able to complete the process so smoothly. So thanks a ton for that. I have one more query: My dependents extended their Skil...

Thanks a lot for your quick response CR001

Dear members, First of all, really appreciate the support you are providing. It has helped me many times. Keep up the great work! My question is fairly basic and it is as follows: I already have ILR via the Tier 2 PBS route. My family (wife and two kids under 18) are now eligible for ILR via the PBS...

Please can someone provide an answer?

Hello , I have just submitted my ILR application and I need to apply for extension of the PBS skilled worker dependent visa for my family. I am at the stage of paying the IHS for the dependents, but I was unclear about the following 2 questions: 1. Work start date & Work end date. What dates sho...

Hi Zimba,
Thanks a lot for your reply and expert opinion.

Hi Zimba, Thanks for your reply. Just one point of clarification. When you said: You can book your appointment within 28 days of completing your 5 years Does it mean that I should book my biometric appointment ONLY AFTER I complete my 5 years i.e. after 19/09/2021? Your expert suggestions are highly...

Dear Team, I have a query for which I would need your expert suggestions, which is as follows: I am eligible to apply for ILR on 22/08/2021 (first day visa was granted + 5 years - 28 days). I also need to extend my dependents' Tier 2 visa, which expires on 28/09/2021 . I was wondering if I would hav...

Hi CR001, My apologies that I merged two topics into one. I will keep in mind henceforth. In regards to your comment It depends on where you are and what service you are prepared to pay for with ukcvas. I could do any of the core services either in London or Birmingham. Thanks again for your patience.

Hi everyone, I can guess that these questions must have been asked many times before, but I would really appreciate if I could get some advice on the following two queries: Query 1: I am currently on Tier 2 (General) and will be completing 5 years on this visa soon. I know I am eligible to apply for...

Hi CR001, Thank you very much for your reply. So I guess that my point number 2 is not possible then? Can you please suggest what should I do then? The reason I want my ILR application to be processed as early as possible is because then I would need to extend my dependents Tier 2 visa and within th...

Hi Everyone, I will complete 5 years via the Tier 2 PBS 5-year route on 28/09/21 and become eligible for ILR. I wish to apply 28 days before the expiry of my Tier 2 visa through the same day service. However, I have just found out that getting appointments for biometrics is difficult and I may end u...

Dear Zimba,
Thanks a lot for this link, you have been really helpful.

Hi Zimba, Thanks for such a prompt and accurate reply. Just one more follow up question: 1. So the employer letter would be enough and I would not need a CoS or similar requirements for my own ILR? Do I need to ask the employer to mention anything specific within their letter? Thanks and it is amazi...

Hi everyone, I am eligible for ILR in September 2021 via the Tier 2 PBS 5-year route. However, my wife and 2 kids (14 and 16 years old) are on a Tier 2 PBS dependent via and they will complete 5 years on this visa by February 2022. I have the following questions: 1. Can I apply for ILR first (28 day...
