Just a note - just filling in a few personal details (but not the card) worked for me. They were happy with that and the payment page.

Has anyone confirmed this with a success story? Haven't found one and the search function on the forum is not being very helpful.

Read all that, and many more linked. It's convinced me that despite confused solicitors and case workers, we do have a case. Just eyeballing her passport - she obviously had to leave the UK for a short period of time to apply for PBS dependant. Looks like her Tier 1 PSW ended on 2nd Mar 2012 and her...

That's my read too, and my boss for the last three years spent most of his life as an English teacher. I get away with very little in any document I write...

I think that the confusing bit is that the case workers and solicitors are still, well, confused.

Oh, more links have appeared from you! Will read them too.

Hmm many thanks. Confusing though - if the only concern is that she has been continuously a PBS dependent since she acquired it, and continuously with me (yes to both) but that part of the 2 years can precede the PBS dependency, I'm all good.

I have read the guidance here: http://immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=114832 I have also read the original policy guidance that links to, 319E. My read is that she...

After faxes and other assorted contact attempts - they called me tonight to personally tell me that I would have my visa by tomorrow afternoon! I got my UPS tracking number moments later. Phenomenal. And they did mention receiving my faxes in the phone call (= Anyone apply that's used the Chicago Co...

Failing hearing from them, anyone know of a contact method? I had a backup plan - student visa then switch to tier 1 in the UK (I qualify for both) but the lack of communication and retention of my passport are preventing me from following through on that. Anyone apply that's used the Chicago Consul...

Anyone apply that's used the Chicago Consulate? When I found this thread I was ecstatic - finally US based dates. But my dates are no where similar... Appt made July 23rd Biometrics taken July 26th Docs mailed July 29th Docs signed for at consulate July 30th Doc receipt email generated Aug 4th ... N...
