does a call-in for biometrics appointment in the UK mean you have gotten your visa or does it mean they are still going to make the decision and just want you to come do the biometrics anyway? no no no no! it's a common misunderstanding. Until you submit your biometric details, NO ONE has even look...

If she was settled in the United Kingdom when she last left, she has not been away for more than two years, and is returning to live here permanently, she may return as a resident unless she was given public funds to pay the costs of leaving the United Kingdom. If she has been away for more than two...
ILR may be lost if a person leaves the United Kingdom and on return is given leave to enter other than for an indefinite period. This may be because, e.g., they mistakenly seek to enter as a visitor, or the immigration officer believes that they do not intend to reside in the United Kingdom. ILR may...

How is it possible that Immigration Lawyers/solicitors are able to get appointments sometimes even the next week at PEOs around the country whilst normal people have to call UKBA every morning at 8.59am to be told that there is no appointments available! I was even willing to go to Glasgow PEO!

I will be able to submit an application for long residence ILR BEFORE I am 18 BUT I will be 18 when I become eligible. So, for example say my birthday is 5th May 1992 and I will be eligible for ILR on 19th May 2010 (when I am eighteen) which means I can submit my aplication 28 days early which will ...

Well done
Thx how long does it normally take? I thought mine took a long time because it said on the UKBA website that they AIM to process 75% of application in 4 weeks....and mine took 6 weeks
If you get refused due to gaps and you think you have a reason then you can try appealing for eg. Discretionary basis. BUT if that doesn't work, then well, it's tough luck. The rules say that gaps aren't allowed and you have gaps. Not eligible. So you can either move on to another immigration tier o...
no, your passports are returned just the way it was with no visa, sticker or anything. A week later of getting your passport, you will receive an ID card which replaces the old visa that existed in your passport. The ID card shows the length allowed for your stay, whether employment is allowed, whet...
