Hello, I am reading guidance for British Citizennship, and I came across this quote (source is page 6 of this guidance https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/998195/Guide_AN_final.pdf ) The residence requirements: • You must have been physical...
Thanks! :D Probably final question then, should I: 1. wait for them to respond to my note somehow (email or note) to it so I have confirmation that it has been accepted? 2. Should the applicant just chose that his COS is for 3 years (although it says 5) and I can add a signed note to his application...
Can you please let me know if I will receive refund and at what stage should I ask for a refund? Is it after the applicant applies for visa and receives it? You should receive the refund automatically within 90 days after amending the CoS but suggest to also send an email to the Business Helpdesk (...
Hello, Is it possible that main applicant for skilled immigrant visa applies for 5 years and that their husband/wife apply for 3 (with goal of extending it when the time comes)? They would come to the UK together (at the same time). This way they would both be eligible for ILR in 5 years. The only r...
Ok, understood. Yes, status is assigned, however when I had to assign it I had to pay immigration skill surcharge, which I paid for 5 years. Can you please let me know if I will receive refund and at what stage should I ask for a refund? Is it after the applicant applies for visa and receives it? Th...
Hello, I applied for defined cos for 5 years (as I would like that person who comes to the UK can stay for 5 years and get ILR). However, he would like to come for 3 years and then 3 more years (to save some visa fees until he starts working here and earns more money). Therefore, COS has start date ...
Hello, I sponsored one employee 2 months ago, but she has decided to go back to her home country and gave notice to end the employment. Is there any chance that I can cancel her sponsorship but then use that (her Defined COS and same position) to sponsor someone else instead of her? I would like to ...
Thank you for prompt response! Points 1 and 3 are clear to me. Regarding point 2, applicant will probably arrive as soon as they receive visa approval, so this would definitely be within 28 days of visa issuance date. However, since I don't know when will their issuance date be (I can only know appl...
Hello, I received a confirmation email that my application for defined cos has been approved. In sms system, it says that defined cos is valid until 06/07/2022. (6th of July) In my Defined Cos application, I put 14th of May as start date. Can you please help me by answering the following questions: ...
We provided it when we applied for my ILR and her PBS visa extension. It was provided as part of her application to confirm surname change. Anyway, we will provide it again, no harm.
Perfect, thank you for prompt response. Just to confirm, I can scan the certificate and upload it as a supporting document? I would also add a marriage certificate, although we already provided this but no harm to sending it again. Do I need to do anything else in regards to confirming that she is m...
Hello, I currently have ILR. I will hopefully become British Citizen around March next year (I can apply in January next year). My wife will receive ILR in November this year, so about 2 months before I apply for British Citizenship. I am aware that she can apply for BC in less than 12 months after ...
1. Exception is unlikely. However, you should get medical certificate/doctor's letter etc and try writing in to HO and ask for expedited processing. It has worked in some cases. Dear marcanth, I was in a similar situation as the person who wrote this post and I tried your advice. I received success...
I received an email - application has been successful!
Thank you so much:

I am happy to provide my director's loan agreement (without my details obviously), so that I can help someone in the future. What would be the best way to do so?
I am sorry for posting in someone else's topic, but I have a friend who is in the same situation as OP so it is relevant to the OP as well and he asked this already. Is it likely that if ICT becomes eligible for ILR, it will be backdated as well (my friend spent 2 3 years already in the UK, so he wo...
Please leave my topic unlocked, I will post when I receive response and if positive I will write my personal experience, as well as provide some documents templates that might be useful to future applicants.
Hello everyone, I am still waiting for my response. Close to one month since I submitted so that is fine. I started filling my self assessment and I realised that I will submit that I had income from dividends. I was originally hoping that I will get super priority and that my ILR will be approved i...
Thank you ALKB and manci on your responses. So, his parents both have Croatian citizenship and had it at the moment when he was born. However, he was born outside of Croatia which is why he never had any Croatian documents. Until about a year and a half ago, Croatia didn't allow people whose both pa...
Why he wasn't an EU national at the time is irrelevant and in all likelihood, given he's been in the UK on a visa/as a non-EU national, UKVI will ask him to provide evidence of citizenship prior to Dec 2020. Now, I don't know, but from a purely legal point of view Croatia may have always regarded h...
