You can apply no sooner than within 28 days before the 5th anniversary of your initial visa ISSSUE date or date of BRP, ie 11 Nov 2021 minus 28 days. Would the issue date of my first Tier 2 visa be the date of the approval letter (06/11/2016) or BRP (11/11/2016) or the visa vignette sticker (18/11/...
Yes Thanks again Zimba! Can I ask what exactly does the Home Office mean by the term "entry clearance"? According to this link, entry clearance technically means applying for a visa: https://workpermit.com/immigration/united-kingdom/uk-entry-clearance-guide#UK%20Entry%20clearance%20for%20...
Yes it would. Thanks again Zimba! If my Tier 2 visa approval letter is dated 6th November 2016, and hence the start of my qualifying period / continuous residence, would it be safe for me to apply for ILR 28 days prior to this date in 2021 this year i.e 9th October 2021? Thanks again and hope every...
Hiring a lawyer to review a straightforward application is wasting your money. A lawyer has nothing to add as immigration application is not technically a strict legal matter My Tier 2 approval letter (i.e entry clearance?) is dated 06/11/2016 My first BRP started from 11/11/2016 The visa vignette ...
If you are eligible to apply for ILR in-time, then there’s no requirement to apply for an extension. Thanks for the reply Vinny! I request everyone's opinion on whether I should hire an immigration specialist lawyer to supervise and submit my ILR application on my behalf. I have been independently ...

Dear friends, I am a foreign doctor training in the NHS. My current Tier 2 visa expires in August 2022 and I am eligible for ILR at the earliest in October 2021. My training programme extended my training by 6 months last week to January 2023 because of my personal and professional circumstances. My...
Thanks again Zimba! My latest question for ILR is: My employment and training has been extended by approximately 6 months (from August 2022- end of my current Tier 2 sponsorship and visa to 31st January 2023) because of my personal and professional circumstances. I fully intend to apply for ILR at t...
Very minor issue that has no bearing over ILR Thanks again Zimba! Should I submit a cover letter with an apology for forgetting to update my address 4 years back? The kind police officer recorded my previous BRP on the same day I updated my first address 18 months late. Or would it be alright witho...
No employer will not give you such letter. The letter simply needs to say that your absences were approved by them Thanks a lot Zimba! I really appreciate your help. Hopefully my last question for now pertains to police certificate updating: My first nationality (used to obtain my Tier 2 visa) requ...
No evidence is needed Thanks a lot Zimba! Highly appreciated! I received an absence letter from my previous employer stating all of my leaves as annual leave or "special leave". My absence from 30/04/2019 to 03/05/2019 is stated as "special leave" and not compassionate leave. I ...
THere is no need for a justification In the SET O form in section Details of your time spent outside the UK and Crown Dependencies for question:What was the reason for this time spent outside the UK and Crown Dependencies? Provide reasons, including if you were travelling through, for each country ...
You should face no issues Thanks a lot Zimba! If my previous NHS employer explicitly writes 30/04/2019 to 03/05/2019 as "compassionate leave" and I justify this for an "urgent and personal family issue" without mentioning hospital admission, would this be accepted by the Home Of...
Dear friends, Hope everyone are well and safe. I am an NHS trainee doctor. My qualifying period for ILR will be ending on 14th October 2021. Whilst working for my previous NHS employer I traveled abroad on 2 separate occasions for total 26 days in total I had to travel abroad on 21 December 2018 to ...
Dear friends, I am an NHS doctor training to be a GP. I wish to apply for ILR in the last quarter of this year 2021. My question is: when is the earliest date I can apply for ILR as the Home Office case worker guidance states in the guidance in page 10: Calculating the specified continuous period Ap...
Dear friends, Hope everyone are well and safe! I am a trainee NHS doctor in UK since December 2016. I would be eligible to apply for ILR in October 2021. I am seriously considering registering a LTD company in my residence address with myself as the sole shareholder and director to reserve the busin...
Dear friends, Hope everyone are well and safe. I will be eligible for ILR in October 2021 as an NHS sponsored doctor. My questions are: 1. I am currently living in my 3rd and final residence until I achieve ILR. I purchased my home last year and will only provide my current home's council tax bills,...
A belated thanks for your reply. I checked the last Home Office approval email: it clearly states I could continue with my previous NHS job until the start date of my current NHS training job. My apologies for not reading this aspect of the email before posting my previous question. My questions at ...
Dear friends, Hope everyone are well and safe. I will be eligible for ILR exactly this time next year and I am trying to compile as many documents and evidences as possible in advance. My questions: 1. I traveled abroad for 25 days during my previous employment while utilizing annual leave. Should I...
She would likely have to pay all the fees as normal for a standard tier 2 dependent visa. We have no members reporting not having to pay. Everyone had to pay and none have come back to say if they have received a refund. If you have ilr, the concession is likely no longer applicable to your Depende...
Thanks for the reply. Does it mean if I apply at the same time for my ILR and my wife's PBS dependent visa extension at the same time, I would only have to pay for her visa extension fee and not the immigration health surcharge? If my wife starts working for the NHS while on her current Tier 2 depen...

Dear friends, hope everyone are well and safe. My current foreign passport will expire in August 2020, and my Tier 2 BRP will expire in August 2022. My country's embassy may be unable to arrange a new passport until after the expiry of my passport because of the coronavirus situation and I cannot ge...
