Probably they didnt ask for my marriage certificate as i recently got a new passport with my husbands name and as he came along with me.. He didnt ask for any letter from previous employment...however i did take it with me just incase because this depends upon case worker to caseworker...Do take yo...

hi denver2k, congratulations on getting your ilr. well done. i agree re carrying all relevant documents (even the ones with slight relevance) as you never know what they might ask for. i myself took a whole lot of papers although luckily wasn't asked for a single document apart from the main ones an...

If I post my application on or around 31st of March 2010, Should I send the new fee or old ones. I am asking this question as the difference for me is around £300. In addition, just to confirm that £129 fee is per dependant. of course you will apply on old application form with the old fee, the n...

Hi There My 16 month old twins got settlement visa in June 2009. Can I apply for my kids citizenship now? Is there any qualifying period for the kids too? My husband and I got ILR in May 2008. we are applying for our british citizenship now, so can I apply for my kids along with our applications or...

hi it won't cause any problems whatsoever. I have done that myself. Changed my name to married name in the new passport. All recent docs are in my married name and even some in my maiden name. The Set(O) form has the section where you have to specify if you have been known by any other names previou...

hi guys, any suggestions... There is no requirement to be economically active for British citizenship. But make sure that you have to be present in UK and your absence should not exceed more than 90 days in the last 12 months and 450 days in the last 5 years at the time when you apply. I don't thin...

Congratulations about your future family addition

hi guys, any suggestions...

Hi guys, I have recently got my ILR in 5 yr WP category. And please accept my apologies if this topic has been covered before but I tried searching for it on the forum and had no luck. Do I need to be economically active to be eligible for British citizenship next year? The reason I am asking this q...

Thanks for your reply. All my pay rises are annual and/or performance based. I think, It is good idea to speak with HR to seek opinion to fill out a technical changes form. I hope HO will still accept these salary raises based on performance and annual review for past three and half year. yeah i th...

Congratulations !!!! Do they ask for original WP. Im on 5 year WP issued in 2006, however, my pay is now 30% high as listed on my WP. Do they even check what is specified on original WP ? thanks mate :) They did ask me for WP (specifically said - do you have any WPUK papers), which I did. I had the...

Did you have to provide your marriage certificate?

hi,
no they didn't ask for marriage certificate. I did carry it in my documents though + my passport also says my husbands name.

hi vinesh, thanks for you response..i am refering to your this note now "The initial screening guy downstairs did specifically request the Life in the UK Test results and a proof of when I left my first job (to check if there was any gap in my employment), for which I had the P45 so no problem...

Hello, well done in getiing it.. !!! So you changed employer in ur 5 year tenure? Were you on WP all your 5 year or tier 2 also ? no P60 requested ? Deep.. hi deep, thanks i did change one employer, way back in Jan 2007 before the tier system came into effect. I have been on WP throughout. No P60 w...

Hi Guys, First of all I would like to thank all members of the Forum...it truly is the best forum of all. I applied for my ILR along with 2 dependents (my husband & son) in 5 years WP category yesterday. Last 2 months have been so stressful but to our surprise, by the grace of God it all went so...

my apologies I misunderstood...you can book as many online appoinments as you want but before you book a new one you'll have to cancel the previous one over the phone...they'll cancel your appoinments in 2 seconds but the online system may take between 24-48 hrs to update.

Hi Deep, Again the key is patience...just check evenings and also at random times everyday and especially Friday evenings. I cancelled mine for 18th March and had to wait for a week but was able to get another good one. If you have 24 hrs access to internet just log in and stay logged in. Trust me I...

Hi, try the phone number at 08:58 or 08:59 in the morning and hold the line.. you will definitely connect at 9 and can speak to human not machine.. I think some solictors do have urgent appoinments with them.. may be OISC registered only. Good luck.. Deep.. True, I agree with Deep...the solicitors ...

hi, do check everyday but especially friday evenings as they release lot of appointments against cancellations on fridays. don't panic I'm sure you'll find a slot you just have to be patient. if you are lucky you'll find it soon but it might take a week for you to find an earlier slot. they even rel...

Hi All, thanks for all your responses... my qualifying five years run from July 2005 - June 2010. I don't have the P60 ending 31st March 2006. Also unfortunately I don't have any payslips for the first year. By the time I apply for ILR, I will have P60s for; Mar-2007 Mar-2008 Mar-2009 Mar-20010 - I...

Hey guys, Just wondering if someone can advise me on Section 6.1 of the SET(O) form. 6 . 1 When did you (the main applicant) first enter the UK? This refers to the date of your first entry into the UK at the beginning of the period of stay on which this application is based. Since I was already in t...

also since you have had more than one employer they may ask you for your p45s too...
