Hello @CR001 @secret.simon,

I have a ques. I have attended Fast Track Service on 26th May for my son's passport. Is it normal if I haven't get any updates on text/email ?

THanks

Brilliant. One final request: In your case, as the child was (a) born in the UK and (b) one of the parents had ILR before the birth of the child, the child is born a British citizen and can apply for a British passport directly with (a) their British birth certificate and (b) the parent's Can you sh...

Thanks Simon for the prompt response. I am applying for Fast Track Appointment and luckily I got one. Only Birth Certificate and ILR BRP is required, not passport ? Do they submit these documents like ILR and Passport in Fast TRack Appointments ? The reason behind this question in my passport is abo...

Hello,

Hope everyone here is doing great. A qq, few people I know have confused me saying that I need MN1 before applying for child's passport. Is this correct?

One of the parent had ILR before the child was born in UK.

Thanks

Hello, I have a question regarding what would be the citizenship for a newborn child in UK. I have ILR but my partner is still on Dependent visa(from my early Skilled Worker visa). She would be eligible for ILR in 2026. What would be the citizenship of our newborn child ? Appreciate your response he...

Thanks for your reply.

It is advisable to keep the BRP in the future as that will be the only proof of your child having an entitlement to British citizenship. -- Do you mean the BRP for ILR ?

Can you also advise on 2nd point ?

Hi @Zimba, I have two questions: 1) I am expecting a child soon. I recently got my ILR(around a month back), but my partner is still on Skilled Worker Dependent Visa. What will be immigration status for my child. The child is going to be born in UK. 2) My partner(on Skilled Worker Dependent Visa) is...

Hi Zimba. A qq, we have to return my old BRp after gettinh the new one on ILR. Can I submit it directly at Lunar House Croydon instead of sending by Royal Mail ? Also, now if my wife would need extension on her Dependent Visa (Skilled Worker dependent) , what should be the process ? As always, thank...

Thanks @Zimba.

One final ques - I received my BRP today and the expiry mentioned on it is 31-12-2024. I think there is a new digital system coming out which will replace BRP's. Is that correct or do I need to do anything on this front ?

As always, thank you for your help.

Hello @Zimba, I got my atlas notification on successful application. Thank you for all the help here. One last ques, I used priority service and I didn't received any notification about application being late/complex etc. Should I apply for a refund for the priority fee. If yes, then how should I do...

Applied for ILR Route : Set(O) Skilled Worker Visa (3 different employers with over 400 absences but no break in 180 Continuous residence ) Application Type: Priority Date application sent : 7 August Document received by HO : 10 August Date Biometrics Enrolled : 10 August at 9:00 am Approval/Refusal...

Hello All. I have a query on Standard Visitor Visa 6 months duration for my parents. Do I need to fill separate application for my mother and father or is there some way to have them on same application ? Thanks

Thank You sir. Appreciate it. This ILR is giving me sleepless nights.

Ok. One final ques (hopefully), in list of absences I forgot to mention the time between my first T2G application approve date and entry into the UK (around 6 days) but I have mentioned that in cover letter. Would this cause any issue.

Appreciate the help and patience @Zimba

Thanks @Zimba

A quick ques, I havent received any notification of delay or any notification from UKVI on my priority application. Is it normal to not get any notifications ? My Biometrics was done on 10th Aug. Thanks

Yeah, what I have learnt from the process is that the application can take longer and Priority/Super Priority means that the application will be given preference at every stage. So, what I have learnt is to stay calm and wait. I don't think we can do anything more, but, given the huge amount of fees...

Million dollar question. I am in the same boat. Applied on 10th Aug and waiting without any response.

Hello @Zimba, One more (maybe final ques), I applied for ILR and used Priority Service. My UKVCAS biometric was done on 10th Aug 9:00 am. I have not received any notification from UKVI yet. Since it's more than 5 days, would this application be eligible for refund for Priority service. If yes, then ...

Hi @Zimba, Details: 1) 3 Mar 2018 - 8 Apr 2018 - 35 days 2) 14 Sep 2018 - 20 Sep 2018 - 5 days 3) 12 Oct 2018 - 18 Nov 2018 - 36 days 4) 6 Apr 2019 - 3 Jun 2019 - 57 days 5) 25 Oct 2019 - 9 Dec 2019 - 44 days 6) 20 Jun 2020 - 27 Aug 2020 - 67 days 7) 4 Dec 2020 - 17 Jan 2021 - 43 days 8 ) 6 Aug 2021...

Hello @Zimba,

I have applied for my ILR by submitting the application. I have also made appointment for BRP on 10th Aug.
Just to understand the process, when will my application start processing, is it after I attend Biometric ?

Thanks

One more question regarding bank statements and payslips, my salary is paid on last Friday of every month and my bank statements gets generated on 25th of every month. So, therefore, salary for 24th June is mentioned in May's statement of 25th May - 24th June and for July will be mentioned in August...

Understood. I will provide then what is mentioned in the documents. Thanks

Thanks for the response Zimba.

So, can I just provide payslips for the months I have been out of UK or what do you advise given the leaves mentioned above.

Also, I think I am within 180 days limit. Does the above absences seems problematic to you ?

Thanks

Hi Gurus - @Zimba/@vinny/@CR001, Would there be any harm if I provide all of my salary slips and bank statement for past 5 years with my ILR application as an evidence for my absences mentioned below. The reason I am providing them is I have been out of UK 8 times: Details: 1) 3 Mar 2018 - 8 Apr 201...

Any advice on the above @Zimba ? Thanks
