Strange that there are no free appointments available now. I was able to book free appointments for my family of 4 on 20th Nov in Croydon. I had tried after mid-night. Maybe the recent lockdown has affected the staff count in UKVCAS which as a return affected the free appointments availability. The...
Never mind found this https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.ukvisaandimmigration.co.uk It is clearly a money making scam run by Sopra Steria and who ever gave them the contract. I can only describe it as "day light robbery" and I am really disappointed that I have no other choice than to pa...

No issues. This will not impact your Naturalisation. Probably you got an OCS letter? Anyways, since you were not taken to court, you have no issues as this did NOT result in a criminal offence. Just declare it but it will have NO impact on your AN. Offence/Penalty: Using or keeping an untaxed vehic...

Was it identified on sight? Did police pull you over? Or you got a Late Licensing Penalty in the post - detected by DVLA register? No I wasn’t driving and police was not involved. The car was declared SORN because it was broken down and parked at friends drive way. On that day, He dropped it off an...
Hi I am applying for British Citizenship as a spouse of British citizen. I had received a penalty from DVLA for untaxed vehicle (road-tax issue) in December 2018 which I had promptly paid in full. My question is, do I need to declare this under "Convictions and other penalties" section of ...

Spouse Visa ILR SET(M) after 5 years residence (you don't qualify yet and would need an extension on FLR(M) . 5 years for SET(m)??

I am applying for ILR on the basis of spouse visa. My wife is a British citizen by birth. I have a 2 year old daughter (British by birth) and my wife receives child benefit (£82.80 pm).

You can apply for ILR based on 10 years long residence and can use a combination of any UK continuous visa status during the 10 years stay. You can apply in person for a same day decision or apply by post. The documents you need for 10 years ILR is much less than Set(M) spouse visa. can you please ...
