@Jambo, thanks very much for your response and apologies for my ignorance. I just happened to see the old form and Yes the question was in the old form too.

I am now going to find out what are the major differences between the forms and use whichever is easier - before 3rd Jan.

1.3 Please say if and when the child was given indefinite leave to enter/remain in the UK. If the child’s parent is an EEA national, a Swiss national or a family member of an EEA or Swiss national you should ensure that they qualify for permanent residence. Child has indefinite leave to enter/remai...

@Madam I, What was HO's reply when you ring them? What did they say? I would suggest you to ring the home office with the reference number on your acknowledgement letter and ask for the status of your application (if no reference number, you may need the Royal Mail tracking number by which you poste...

The old application form SET(O) seems more straight forward and easy for me. I am attending PEO on 20th Dec. I am going to use the old application form as it is valid for 28 days from the day the new application came into force. In line with paragraph 34(i) of the Immigration Rules, we will continue...

Why 3 years? I thought a maximum of 2 years would suffice? I am going next week with 2yr documents only - for cohab.

NO, You cannot take your dependants on 1 person appoitnment.
There is a reason why they don't show up when searching for 3 people in total. I believe it is the time constraint i.e they may not have enough time to process a 3 people application on that particular day.

Hi Kashif,

Does your daughter hold any type of dependant visa? If yes, when does it expire and when are you applying for her citizenship?

I got my answer.

Thanks xyz123 for creating the below post and thanks wpilr_nov12 for pointing members to this post - http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=79378

I found my questions and answers as Q31 and Q32

I now need to decide what to do.

Hi, I am in a similar situation where I am on Tier1 and my wife & uk born child are on Tier1 dependant visa. I am eligible to apply for an ILR anytime after 14th Dec but before 13th Jan. Due to the holiday season, there are no available PEO appointments as of now and I chose to submit a postal a...

qwerty10, I don't think the immigration officer is going to send her back. Is your name present in your wife's passport as her spouse? In addition to this she could carry a marriage certificate too.

qwerty10, will your wife not return before 10 Feb 2013? Can't she use the existing dependant Visa to come back?

I would apply for a redirection service with royal mail who will forward your letters to the new address. I will also write to the home office informing your new address by mentioning the passport numbers of the applicants or send them a copy of acknowledgement letter (in case they have sent you one).

Photos will definitely help with your applications. you don't need to have a proper wedding pictures. Depeding on your religious customs, you can have garlands around your neck and take few pictures with people around you. Is that possible?

Thanks mate, he's received only reference number and nothing more than. His case is straight forward. He sent two fax to home office and yet to hear anything from them. He's worrying as his current stay going to expire in another two week. I dont think you should be worrying about the expiration da...

Thanks Raj,

That was very helpful of you.

Dear all, Like most of the HSMP visa holders I am confused in regards to the extension procedures. There's vast information online for each individual case and I couldn't deduce the right information with regards to my application. I am confident that I can find the correct answer in this forum. Her...

English Language - 10 or 0 HO expects you get at least 75 points in attributes section and 10 points for each maintenance funds and English language sections. Possibly t...

Hi all,

I could see most of the people posting their points claimed as

75+20
100+20
85+20

Could anyone let me know what's this +20?

Thanks,
Vish.

The idiots called today asking my wife to come from a 500km away place to come and collect it. Though the mistake was on their part for not giving an option, they dont want to post it.

Hi push_hsmp,

thanks for your reply. I applied from Hyderabad, I shall ring them tomorrow. The application was processed on Mon the 6th of Apr. I dont understand the way VFS handles the whole process. They seem to be least bothered in communicating.

Cheers,
Vish.

Hi all, I applied for an HSMP Dependant Visa on Mar 6th and after a long await, the status on 9th April at night changed to "Processed Application in Transit". To my surprise, I haven't received the documents yet !! I spoke to Blue Dart courier service who can track it using passport numbe...
