Great work @man4uni. You are a legend

I've NCS appointment on 3rd of April at 2 PM and I called them to check whether I'd need to pay the current fee or the new fee and the lady on the phone said, it will be the current fee because they have not received any information about the fee increase. Has anyone got any idea how long is it goin...

thanks @Jambo

I'm going to post the similar question in the same thread, instead of starting a new one, I hope it's fine. My ILR application was approved on 3rd April 2013 and BRP issue date is 4th April 2013. My understanding is that BRP issue date is irrelevant; its the ILR approval date, which matters. So this...

@khan06 in this case you can't use PBS document and I think it doesn't award English points for most of the Pakistani universities. I have read somewhere on the forum that NARIC doesn't give the English assessment letter for Masters degree, and if they could then it would have been on PBS calculator...

Thanks @ban.s

Does anyone know if I book NCS appointment for 4th of April, 2014, then I'd need to pay £874 or £906 for naturalisation (form AN)?

Thanks @CR001. You are a legend

Hi All, I just want to know if it is required for the Spouse of British Citizen to be on ILR for last 12 months or not, to be eligible for naturalization? I'm in a tricky situation right now. I'm planning for apply for British naturalisation in April 2014, which means, hopefully, by end of 2014, I'l...

so if i understand it correct, i and my husband both can book 2 appointments on the same day (second one possibly 15-30 min after the first ) and have a conversation with the people at the reception to have us go to the case worker together? yes, your understanding is correct. In our case we booked...

@neha_s I had exactly the same situation last year (April 2013) wherre I applied for ILR and my wife for extension as PBS dependant. We booked 2 separate appointments for both of us in the relevant categories at the same date/time at Solihull PEO. On reaching there we informed about our situation to...

Hi All, I'm currently on ILR (got it in April 2013 based on 5 years on Tier-1), however my wife is still on a PBS dependant visa and she arrived in UK on March 3, 2012. Following are the few question I have: 1. When can she apply for ILR? My understanding is that she will be eligible to apply from 4...

I always Que in line where there is less people. Before christmas when i was coming coming back to UK from Europe tour EU/UK line was full but International line was completely empty 3/4 people ( in Stansted ) so went there . They didn't say anything to me. I hold EU family member resident card. ot...

@fannofler what is the exact date on which your wife arrived in UK? If it is within 28 days of 3rd of Dec (which I strongly suspect is not the case), then she can directly apply for ILR with you otherwise, unfortunately, I think you'll need another extension for few days before she can get ILR too a...

Thanks Mustafa for your reply. Yes, she got the visa in November 2012 and came to UK in Jan 2013. this is cleared that I would have to fill up PBS dependent application for her. However I called UKBA to verify ILR qualifying period for her, I did around 5 or 6 calls just to verify that thing and mo...

Thanks Mustafa Big difference between PBS Dependant Tier 1 and FLR(M) Any major disadvantages of goign for FLR(M) for the wife, She has a UK University Masters degree which should cover English requirements(i hope) and my income is good enough to cover us both. Just like to get some opinions please...
