Hi, Iam a British Citizen , which was granted on Dec 2010. Me and my wife got ILR on Sep 2009. She entered country in Feb 2008 on dependent visa Which means 1) She has been in UK from last 3 years 2) She has been free from Immigration from last 12 months ( ILR) 3) She has not spend more than 90 days...

ash20, assuming you apply for Naturalisation soon after you have had ILR for one year .... sometime in September 2010 ... it could well be the case that you will be a British Citizen before the 3rd anniversary of your wife moving to the UK. If that is the case then your wife will be able to apply a...

That is right, yes, the earliest a joint application could be made is when they have both been in the UK at least 5 years. The earliest, not not cheapest, way of doing this is if the OP applies by himself when he has had ILR for at least one year, and then as soon as he is British, the 3-year rule ...

Hi All, Iam looking for the answer for my wife's citizenship eligibilty I came UK in Sept 2004 She arrived UK Feb 2008 ( Dependent Visa ) We both got ILR Sept 2009 Now my question is when is she eligible for citizenship ? Will she able to file it when iam also eligible that is Aug/Sep 2010 ? Or Feb ...

Hi Guys, I need to understand what is the start date for the calculation of 5 year period. I landed in UK on the evening of 9th September 2005. Being Friday and after business hours, I reported for work on 12th September and thus my employment contract starts from 12th September. My question is wha...

I'm trying to apply for ILR Same day Service. Only thing worrying is the payslip. Last 2 payslips hasn't mentioned enough funds as my wages to be. Will that be a problem? or shall I just show them the bank statements alone? please advice John, As far as i know "enough funds" has no relati...

I finally have had my ILR granted after a series of questions and letters from previous employers being supplied that i indeed travelled genuinely on business.
So much for 10 days !!!

PS: PEO Croydon.

Today we have received our passports from home office. Alhumdulillah, we have got IRL. The whole process took around 12 weeks. I am very thankful to ash20 for his/her replies and suggestions. Good luck to all and especially who are in the same situation as we were. Hi Sohail2k, I happen to come to ...

Pahini, To me you dont have to prove anything or write any cover letter. You are under 180 days and less than 90 days in on stretch .. this is a straight forward work. Cover letter for absence means u want to have case workers attention on these absences and therefore doesnt qualify for straight for...

My visa is stampted April 2010.

I meant when your FLR was issued? not till what date FLR is valid?
Was it Jan 2005 or April 2005 ?

Thanks mate. How is the ILR success rate for Interviews at Croydon office, Good/Fair/Bad ? Depending on that I am thinking to change my Interview location. So far the feedback from forum member doesnt seem to be positive about Croydon. Though it varies from case to case. I guess Birmingham is the b...

I followed few posts in this forum where weekends were discounted and had successfully obtained ILR . I followed same and it did work.

Original work permit is not required at all if you have copy or any correspondence letter from HO i suggest to keep them with u during interview

Not offending Ray's comment , personally and based on others experience case workers are more interested in your current job and will ask you about employer letter unless there is someone with tier1 without job has got ILR. Also New rules are effective from july 2011 and also if u have ILR before th...

Hi, I applied for ILR thru the Premium Service. They were unable to make a decision on the same day bcos i had a break of 3 months 8 days (total in 4 years - 160 days), 3 years ago. I had explained this gap in my coverletter as being away partlyon business. They said it was a valid application and ...

Iam myself tier1 but caseworker first thing asked me employment letter when i went for my ILR. so it is a personal experience. He might get away with it because of his HSMP-JR

Iyanu, Very sorry to know that . Some caseworkers does ask for Employers letter. Iam afraid that may be diffcult in your case. But i guess since you are under HSMP-JR that might save you but can't assure though. Hopefully you will get job by then. If you dont have a job by then i suggest you wait ti...

Yes, you can . I suggest if you are under or equal 180 days with weekdays then keep as it is . if you are more than 180 days discount weekdays . Should work .. worked for me

Yes it was a single trip ( One stretch) so r u sure bank holidays and weekends are excluded in 90 day rule ? any reference website where it is clearly define ? there is no rule as such. I have seen cases where if bank holidays and weekends are excluded to make it under 90 . How many days you were a...
