Hi,

We all know that when applying in person for ILR at any PEOs, the depandants are not required to attend. Has anyone able to find this information on the UKBA website or anywhere in written ?

usualsus wrote:same story as mine . why dont you try home office and see if they can help you find a family slot or change the appt you have to a family one ?

usualsus, when you say try home office, do you mean calling 08706067766 or any other number ?

got lucky as i searched everyday at night for online appt at any of the p.e.o and there were alot on for this week. Hi usualsus, Three questions: a) was it any specific day or any day ? b) around what time at night did you search ? and c) were you able to get a family slot online ? This is beacuse,...

did your depenednts eneterd UK at the first as a WP dependent, if yes you can include them in your application for ILR as long as they passed the life in the UK test, good luck Goody09, Is there any doc which mentions what you have said ? I'm asking because my spouse entered the UK with me as WP de...

pbs6vas, I'm getting the same feeling. Probably with the PBS more and more people are applying on their own which is putting these solicitors out of the business (one in which they were earning huge money for no effort). They have now found this way out. If HO is not part of this conspiracy then it ...

Instead of getting them to do it for you, why don't you just request it yourself?

Meats, can you elaborate on this, how can this be requested ?

Hope2007,

Did you receive the reference & transaction ids when you registered second time ?

its funny...the web site didnt even validate the name , dob when i had tried to reboook...i did rebook but still havent got the email ... it means , something is not correct....it looks bit not prefessional ...

No i keep checking my spam folder as well...couldnt find any...my only doubt is my wife surname(main applicant) has been changed after marriage but her initial hsmp approval & extension had her old surname. may be they couldnt locate ...but you say its an autogenerated one. i am gonna try regis...

i got my login details (ref & trans ID) within 30 minutes. it's presumably automatically generated, so it shouldn't take days! maybe it went into your spam folder? I also registered last week but haven't received any email so far. Nothing in the Spam folder either. Can we register again ? Has a...

Anyone, any idea how long does it take for them to mail back the reference and transaction IDs. I registered yesterday but have yet not received any email.

Vinny, Thanks for your response, but any idea if the minimum 2 years requirement needs to be continuous 2 years or can these be cumulative ? For example, 18 months as dependant, then few years not as dependant and then again 6+ months as dependant before applying. Has anyone in the forum got ILR for...

hmm..first time i saw this..ok r u covered by JR (hsmp before 2006)...then this might not apply...but still not sure....why dont u call up HO and ask ? No, I'm not covered by JR. Yes, I'll call them but just wanted to see if anyone in the forum has been in a similar situation to share his/her exper...

where did you get this from ? to me , its new...anyone heard about this ?

I also saw this just yesterday

Just read below 'How your dependants can apply for settlement' in the link

Hope2007, I need to have the clarification that whether changing her status to dependant will make her eligible for ILR before the new rules come into force. If not then I do not think it would be any useful. As far as I know, kids less than 18 years can apply at the same time as the main applicant....

babjirajnikumar, please can you update us on the experience/outcome of your PEO appointment on 19th August.

i presume , she would have gone & applied...how long did it take there? was she working when she had gone home to apply ? did she need to prove anything ? sorry to bother you ...i am in the same situation ...my wife is a hsmpian and i hold a wp until 2010..it looks like she may get ilr before m...

it depends on which category u r applying?? if under hsmp ilr then the status of the main applicant will be the status of the dependent no 2 years qualification period required for hsmp pls put through more details about dates and visa under which u r querying? Pahini, Does this mean that if one ha...

Thanks

Hi, I have a confusion which I have not been able to get a clarification to by reading the related info available on the UKBA site. The situation is that I'm on Tier 1 and my wife is on WP. I'll be eligible for ILR next year and my wife next to next year. This is based on our own visas. Now, if I ge...

It's 5 years - years you have already been in the UK in the category leading to settlement. Mine is 2 and 1/2 years.

nikip,

As this is for transitional arrangements where the applicant has been with the same employer doing the same job for which the initial leave was granted, no documents are required and hence submitted none. Only the application form and passport were sent.

Timelines:

1. T2 under transitional arrangements applied - 28/04/2009
2. Visa stamped - 19/05/2009
3. Docs posted by HO - 22/05/2009
4. Docs received - 28/05/2009

The initial leave (WP) was granted by the same employer for the same job.

If extension of Tier 2 is rejected but the current visa is still valid you can apply for Tier one (even if it's 1 day before your current visa expires). You can only stay in country after your visa is expired during the appeal process. However if your current WP has expired then you will have to ap...

All, Is it possible to switch from within the UK to Tier 1 from Tier 2 if the Tier 2 extension gets rejected due to some reason and the current WP visa has expired before you come to know about the rejection ? I know there is a right to appeal in this situation. But not sure if you can apply a fresh...
