Thank you for your helpful responses. I have a couple of questions regarding the application process for my wife, who has a biometrics appointment scheduled at a later date. For cohabitation evidence, I am planning to include: Joint utility bills and council tax bills from the past two years. A tena...

I am very thankful to you zimba, I will follow that. Also do you suggest that I use these the approach I told you above ( Bank statments + interm ) or to print all my transactions for one month perhaps so that its not two separate things.

Thanks a lot and apologies if it is a silly question

God bless you, final follow up question: 1) does the bank need to stamp anything or for example issue a letter? or does the electronic bank statment along with the electronic interm statment suffice 2)Do I merge them into one document or two separate files sorry I am just unfamiliar with the best ap...

You are amazing zimba, I have a final urgent query. I received my bank statment from 3rd to 30 May for some reason but my salary gets paid 1st june from barclays. Can I order an interm statment up to today and submit it along with the previous bank statament or what can I do ?

Dear Zimba, I have a few final questions regarding my dependent child, who is over 18 and will be applying separately : 1) Does she need any documents from her parents, such as their bank statements, to show that the address on her own documents matches theirs? 2) Does she need to submit both her cu...

Hi, I need some clarifications on the points 1 and 7, do we need to have two separate letters from employer or we can have both the details in one letter? one letter is enough which states that you are working for under XXX soc code and they need your services in foreeable future with mentioning yo...

Thank you so much, NormaG; I am in the same position because my dependent's visa will expire at around the same time frame as yours, but I will be completing the 5 years by then and want to include them in my application and delay the biometrics instead of paying for an extension. Was your visa vali...

Thanks, Zimba, for your clarification. Have you come across or heard about anyone who was refused when they applied earlier than the 28-day period? I am worried because it says, 'Your application may be refused if you apply earlier.'' In the worst case, if that happens, am I entitled to even challen...

Hello Norma,
can you tell me more about your situation with ILR as I am in a similar position. Did you submit your application beyond the 28 days and booked your biometrics within that period and it got approved no issues? thanks a lot

Yeah, I get you. Thank you so much for your perspective and help

but since it specified appendix skilled worker. You can find under the appendix section "settlement as a dependent partner or dependent child of a skilled worker" [English language requirement for settlement as a dependent partner or dependent child of a Skilled Worker SW 44.1. Unless an e...

but according to these rule (EL 7.1. An applicant will meet the English language requirement if they have a GCSE, an International GCSE, an A level, a Scottish National Qualification at level 4 or 5 or a Scottish Higher or Advanced Higher in English (language or literature) that was awarded: (a) by ...

I see thanks for your clarification if one of my dependents turned 18 but had passed LIUK, and had GCSE at grade I think 8 in English from school is that enough as proof of English language or does she need to do a B1 on top of that

The continuous residence rule that you quote either uses: 28 after the application date, the application date or the decision date. Now, even if I enrol biometrics (5 years - 28 days), she will still not meet 5 years as the application date is fixed. so the only way is to enrol biometrics close to 5...

That's calming, so you recommend I apply for ILR straightaway on 3rd june and delay biometrics to 10th July ( even though I will pay for priority decision ) or the other option, which is to vary in order that she applies within 28 days of her 5 year qualifying period?

Hello, I plan to apply for ILR ( priority) on the basis of a skilled worker visa. I initially had a Sole rep visa for 4 years and then switched to a skilled worker visa, but I did not switch my family as the adviser told me it's all under work routes, so it does not matter. I have completed 5 years...

Hello, My employer assigned me a salary of 39k on 2nd April, but with the new rules in place and ongoing rate I have to meet a salary of atleast 42k for the lower ongoing rate ( as CoS was assigned before 4th of April, otherwise standard rate is 46k). Question: does the employer need to add a note o...
