Hi, I have ILR on an Indian passport,which is valid until 2016. I have booked two trpis to the Schengen Area, one to Spain in end October (3 days) and another to Amsterdam in March 2013 (4 days). When I applied for my Schengen Visa through Spanish embassy, I had also attached a covering letter expla...

Just to update on BRP timelines,

I received all 3 Biometric cards (self + 2 dependants) by post on Tuesday, 22nd May. That is just 2nd working day after my appointment.

As long as she satisfies the 2 year rule and have documents to prove your co habitation for two years, I do not see any issue. All the best. HI All, I am currently on Tier1 VISA and eligible to apply for ILR. My wife came to UK on her independent Tier1. We satisfy the requirement for last 2yrs of co...

You would need documents to prove that you co habited with yourself.

This does not apply to single applicants.

You need to pass Life in the UK Test though.

All the best.

Were any afternoon appointments cancelled because of IT problems and people turned away? I apply for my ILR Friday afternoon and dread being turned away empty handed. I am not too sure. I checked with the person who took the Biometric and he said there were no issues as of yesterday. I was also spe...

All, thanks to everyone who helped me, I got my ILR yesterday. WP -> HSMP -> Tier 1 (G). My WP period was only for six months. I wanted to write a detailed one, live from the venue and started a thread, but found that it had been deleted by some moderator without any explanation. So to make it short...

That is good news, especially if they stick to the dates.

My appointment is on the 18th May and it will be great if it is normal that day.

Fingers crossed.

Can any of the seniors please help me?

I have now confirmed that it is indeed Gross Pay.

Can I get answers on other documents and that I am eligible to apply please?

Thanks in advance.

Congrats avtarjain1980

Can you please confirm if you used Gross Pay for the calculation of points?

Also, can you tell me what all documents did the CW actually take / ask for?

Thanks.

Any comments anyone? Please Help.

Many thanks.

Hi all, I have enjoyed this forum for almost 3 years. Keep up the good work all. My ILR is coming up in 2 weeks and I have a few questions. I started a on a 5 year work permit starting from Jan 2005 (valid until Jan 2010). The first two years (until 2007), I was not continous here and spent only 6 m...

Yes, you can skip ILR as mentioned above. The only thing you have to bear in mind is that, in case you need to travel to India (say for an emergency etc), you need to find someone here to leave the little one as obv he / she cannot travel without a passport. I may sound like a pessimist but have see...

One option is to send ILR application by post on Mon 30th April and pay by cheque. Usually, the 28 days will be checked only by the case worker and the case will be passed to the caseworker only after the payment is cleared. If you pay by cheque, it will take 3 to 5 days for clearning and by the tim...

Thanks Linkers.

nnj10 : That is weird. Are the IT issues in Croydon only to Biometric Permit? Can someone please confirm.

Has anyone heard of IT issues / Biometric issues anywhere other than Croydon PEO?

Thanks SMAM.

Does it make a difference as to where one applies? Hope they wont ask why I travelled all the way from London?

Cheers.

Hi all, I am eligble for ILR appointment from the 14th May 2012. Mine is a straightforward case with WP + HSMP + Tier 1, absenses well within the limit and all the boxes ticked for points. I have managed to secure an appointment in Croydon in that week. I live in London and Croydon is about 45 minut...

Hi All, I guess mine is a straightforward case but I need some advise on one point. My case is HSMP 2 years + Tier 1(G) upon renewal for 3 years. I was in a permanent job from Jun 2007 until Dec 2011 and have started contracting (Ltd Company + Sole Director + 50% Share holder) since Jan 2012. As for...

It is still 1 Year subject to other conditions (not out for than 90 days in that year, no criminal convictions etc).

No, they can get it after 1 Jan 2011.

Contact UKBA at the earliest. Make it clear to them that you have not received any reference number even after 50 days and you're calling to know the reference number and to know if your application is in the UKBA system. Without the reference number you'll have a hard time tracking your applicatio...

Congrats. You have mentioned that expiry date is 3 years from the approval date. Was your HSMP Expiry date also 6-Jan? Main applicant + 3 dependants Type: HSMP to Tier 1 (General) In-country application Application date: 09-Dec-2009 by Royal mail special delivery Payment deducted : 10th Dec 2009 Ref...

J4 is a straightforward question. Is the applicant appllying based on HSMP Judical Review (for those who got HSMP Approval before Mar 2006). One can select Yes only if they got their original HSMOP before Mar 2006. To quench your curiosity, yes, my dependents and me got the renewal successfully. I g...

When I filled in application I had the same doubts as well. I called HO twice and questioned them about this and both times I got consistent reply. My case, HSMP to Tier 1 (G). Dependants along with main application. J1 . Is the dependant submitting their application with the main applicant's applic...
