Hi! I have got the new sticker but the above is for action doesn’t seem complete. If I don’t travel to collect my brp in person, I can apply for a replacement vignette. The brp expiry is anyway supposed to be till 31 dec 2024 post which the evisa kicks in. If my travel is after 31 dec 2024 then I wo...

If a BRP is issued, then you have to collect it yourself as you have to present your passport with the uk entry stamp. They don't courier brps to you abroad. If you don't have any intention of travelling to the uk, why apply for an new entry clearance visa? BTW, an extension is an application insid...

Hi! My current GTV visa & brp expire on 26th Aug 2024. I have already submitted eVisa form and waiting for it to be confirmed. I am giving my biometrics for my visa extension tomorrow outside of the UK. Q1 Will I still receive a physical brp and a one time vignette to use to collect my brp in th...

Understood thanks a lot

The only difference is that I am applying for overseas and the guidance doesn't mention any such time duration for overseas applicants.

Oh! The visa center email says 240 days…but that’s like 2/3rd of a year.

Thanks Zimba! One last question: my current visa expiry is 26.08, I have already submitted the application online & paid IHS fee and application fee. Is it ok to schedule the biometrics appointment on 22.08 or would that be too late?

Thanks

Hi! I have a question on this : if the home office does not accept the ILR application under exception, do they give an extension within the same amount paid if I qualify for extension?

Or will that amount be completely lost?

Hello everyone, I have a GTV since Aug 2021 and due for expiry in Aug 2024. I have held UK employment from Dec 2021 till June 2024 (ending this month). I have a few questions: 1. I want the new visa start date to be as close to the current expiry date in August - for this I should ideally apply for ...

Thanks and yes that’s fine - I have payslips and employment status for the last 2.5+ years till date on this visa. Will submit those.

Thanks

Hello! Thanks for the responses 🙏 I have one last question: I have had a UK employment so far hence extending right now is easy. In cases where one has the GTV but not employed/hasn’t earned on the visa duration OR earned in initial duration of visa but then lost employment, is extension still easy ...

Hi! Thank you 🙏 Yes my leaves demonstrate the opposite however I had to travel back to home country due to serious illness of my mother. It doesn’t mean my intention doesn’t exist for the UK - I have held UK employment for the last 3 years. It can also be perceived as compassionate reason to priorit...

Thanks Zimba! Awaiting a few other responses if there are any solicitors in this community who can advise too. I am new to this forum. I have all the evidence of unplanned travel, Medical records and certificates, doctors letter, hospitalization record including discharge summary from NHS stating a ...

Hi! I am on the Global Talent Visa since August 2021. As per home office guidance, there is an exception to the 180-day rule under compelling or compassionate grounds towards serious illness of yourself or close family member. In which case, they will apply discretion to the ILR application basis ev...

Also: there is a lawful home office exception for absence under medical grounds of serious illness of a close family member. Hence they will apply discretion under their own exception. I am looking to know if there is a cap on number of days of absence even under the exception. Would any solicitors ...

Thanks a lot, Zimba ! I thought so as well, I contacted a few solicitors who are pushing for an assessment and consultation. However I also feel my absences are way too high for a success at this point. Can I apply basis date of entry basis? If so, I will get time till November 2024 this year to cov...

Hi Everyone! I am looking for critical help for my case to apply ILR. I got my GTV issue confirmation in August 2021and my first entry was in Nov 2021. I took the 3year visa hence it will expire in August 2024. Q1. Does my 180-days clock start in Nov 2021 or Aug 2021? Which means do I have time till...
