Thanks Zimba. This helps.

Dear Team,
My family's ILR BRP arrived today with validity as December end this year. I was wondering, as we have a travel plan end of the year with a return next year mid Jan.
Could it be because of the new eVisa initiative? Would we require a BRP renewal before the travel?

Hi, my husband is in the same situation. His set M was wrong so home office emailed and offered to vary and receive full refund on 7th April 2024. We did reply to them to vary the application but we haven't heard anything back since. So we just submitted a new application using set 'O@ and provided...

Posting an update here, as i saw may applicants facing the same error: HO refunded the full fees for the wrong Set (M) application. (Note: I didnt apply for priority processing, i assume that fee might not be refunded. Standard processing took exactly 3 months for the decision. Refund back to the or...

Thank much for all the inputs. Very very helpful.

2) BRP is enough

Thanks much, will upload BRP against both the sections on the ukvcas portal.

1) They refer to parts 1 and 2 of the same consent form. There is only one to upload which has 3 parts: the applicant will sign part 1 and the spouse will sign part 2. Part 3 should be ignored. Understood. Does this mean, I should upload same signed part 1 & 2 against both the sections on the u...

Dear Team I am applying for my spouse's ILR Set O application (GTV dependent). Upon submission, on the appilication checklists and UKVCAS portal documents section got me confused. Question 1, there are two separate sections to upload the below listed documents: 1 - Declaration signed by (sponsor) to...

Thank you so much. Let me give a try.

Thanks for the quick response CR001. The wordings sounded like it was a rejection, sorry about that - You have extant leave as a Dependent Joiner until 24 May 2025. Therefore a rejection of this application will not effect your immigration status or history. Please apply for further leave on a appro...

Dear Team, I'm seeking an urgent advice as my spouse and child's ILR application got rejected. With the below reason - "You have attempted to make an application for Indefinite Leave to remain as a Spouse of a British Citizen under Appendix FM. Your application is invalid as you have not comple...

Thank you Zimba and AmazonianX, very clear now. This thread could be closed.

Hello Team, I am looking for an advice. My spouse and child will complete 5 Years on Dec 18th. This would make them eligible for ILR submission after 21st Nov. But we have a travel plan outside the UK in December. In this situation once the online application is submitted, is it okay to travel outsi...

Thanks Simon, clear enough.

Dear Team, Happy new year. You guy's answered my ILR and naturalization-related queries last year, thank you. This query is an add-on to one of the prior queries. I understand that naturalization eligibility would require dependents to be on ILR. In this scenario, if I receive naturalization and my ...

For Citizenship, you need 5 years residence, which MUST include 1 year on ILR if you are not married to a British citizen. That's great information CR001. In this scenario, could my spouse and child apply for citizenship upon completing 5 years on PBS dependent visas (3 years on Tier-2 + 2 years on...

Dear Team, I am seeking clarity on the eligibility criteria for naturalization. I received ILR upon completing 3 years of residence via 3-year GTV route. I would complete 5 years of UK residence which includes 2 years on ILR by Sept 2023. Will this make me eligible for naturalization in Sept 2023? B...

Dear Team, Seeking kind advice on my situation. I had to move to a new address last week, this was after my application was submitted with my old address. My biometric appointment scheduled for next week. So I would need the BRP delivered to the new address. I emailed UKVCAS, they suggested contacti...

Thanks much Simon. Great info.

Thanks Simon.

Good information, then my understanding was wrong that child under 12 could apply for British passport if one parent is British citizen (irrespective of settled status of other parent and child). Thanks for giving clarity.

Thanks, much CR001 for the advice.

Dear Team. I am seeking guidance to see if my child could apply for British citizenship. I hold an Indian Passport and ILR via GTV route. My spouse and child are on GTV-dependent visas expiring July 2022. The child was born in the USA, holding US Passport. We all have lived in the UK for 3.5 Years. ...

Thank you.
