In my case, they had details about my first WP and these details were entered by the person who was checking the document before the actual appt. Best policy is to be honest as they have access to pretty much all info from various gov. agencies. I have heard many people saying that HO does external ...

Your welcome
Yes. WP dependent is under "Other Non-settlement" category.
All the best!

WP Dependant is not equal to settlement right? So I'd probably fall in the "Other Non-Settlement" category. Thanks again!

Processing times Hi, I'm currently on a Tier-1, but am planning to go to India to shift as a work permit dependant on my wife's visa. She is eligible to apply for ILR now, and being a dependant I can then apply for the ILR immediately to. Anyone has any recent experience of getting a Work Permit De...

So now your records in HO is in old correct name in old passport and new wrong name in new passport. When they pull your information from their files, they will first get the old correct name. (This happened in my case, the info they gathered was from my first initial WP and the salary mentioned the...

Yes. You have broken the rules of continuous stay between 31-08-2006 to 24-10-2006. You did not have a valid work visa during that time. If you would not have gone out of UK during this period, you could had some remote chances. Now the best option is as stated earlier. option 3. I personally dont t...

I believe your wife has a WP and not Tier2 visa. If this is the case, then option 3 is the quickest one to get ILR. Can you also advise how did you break your residence in the first year? Were you out of the country for more than 90 days in the first or any year? Hi all, I'm trying to figure out the...

John, One question I have here... If the father has ILR status and mother applies for 27-month spouse visa, the child applying from outside the UK, does not get ILE ? Is it time restricted to 27 months ? Thanks. ariesnr, now that you have ILR you have "settled status" and now your wife nee...

Which of your passports has the correct name ? as per your birth certificate ? And why was it changed in the new passport? or was it a rare mistake? Hi, Im due for ILR next month under WP + HSMP and Tier1. I have a question for the senior members and experts. My full name in my previous passport has...

You are right ! the changes will affect you incase the rules do not change in the meantime.... Anyways the rules are not fully defined yet.... Dear all, My case is bit complicated. I came to UK on WP in June 2007. Later 2007 I applied for HSMP and got the approval letter in Jan 2008. I submitted my ...

Unfortunately, this also does not work! The Home office is aware of such cases and they release the cancelled appointments after a min. of 24 hrs after the appt. is cancelled. Alternatively...you can tell the other person when you are planning to cancel...so that they can call and book the appointme...

It wont cause any issues if she changes her name to married name on the new passport. She will have to use the married name in the ILR appln form. Her ILR visa will also be issued in the married name. My wife is on Tier 1 Visa (HSMP pre Nov 6, 2006 approval). Her passport which is in her maiden name...

Once you get your ILR, your wife Tier1 dependent status will become invalid. She would need to apply for FLR(M) In my opinion, I think you should apply for your wife as soon as you get ILR . It states "You must be in the UK to apply, and you must apply before your permission to stay in the UK e...

I dont think you need to worry here, as the length of stay outside UK is less than 90 days. If you can get a employer letter explaining that you were sent on a company assignment - knowledge transfer,trng, etc, and show this letter ONLY if asked for. (I don't believe HO would bother to ask.) Also is...

I am thinking... is your wife's status: Tier 1 dependent is valid now ? considering that you have changed your status from Tier 1 to ILR. Is my understanding correct ? I believe the route should be Tier1 Dep. --> Spouse visa --> ILR Opinions from Guru's welcome to prove me wrong here... Hi My presen...

Latest visa type: Tier1. Date of first entry in UK: Date when WP was endorsed on your passport. Are you missing 1 P60? There should be atleast 4 P60's in 5 years. Take all your sal. slips and explain to them if asked abt your latest bank statement. You would need 2 photographs as well and your debit...

@Ibrahimsyde You are applying for ILR under which category ? For set(O), you would need to book a family appt. hello folks, as we are discussing about online appointments, thought i could also include my question here, sorry Deep4ILR for posting on your question. please can someone advise whether is...

They will publish the new forms soon and definitely before 06th April 2010.

Thanks kmrk123! You have to book a family appointment including your wife and kid too. Search the forum to find the "good" time to book online appts. Congrats Diago! Many thanks for sharing your valuable experience!! In my case, I have 2 dependants (wife + kid). But I am not planning to br...

You would need to fill in the new forms as the new forms will have the new fees mentioned in them. Hi, Does anyone know if its okay to submit new fees on current SET O forms, which will become outdated on 6/04/10. Perhaps new ones may come few days before the change date! I am enquiring as I do not ...

I dont think it is a council tax benefit and hence should not be considered as public funds. Other opinions are welcome... Thanks Diago for answering the queries, regarding council tax benefit I am referring to "Second homes qualify for a 10% discount, unless the liable person has to live in jo...

1. If you are referring to single person Council tax discount, you dont have to mention it in the appln form. Its a discount and not categorised as a benefit. 2. Not required. But good to have as your not self-employed but working for a employer. 3. Important is that your wife should be in UK when y...

Congrats barua for getting ILR ! 1. If your wife changes her visa to spouse visa, then after 2 years she can get ILR or she will get it on her own anyways after 2 1/2 years, depending on the rules applicable at that time. See http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/partnersandfamilies/partners/#header1 Wi...

Absence letter should state that the applicant is not able to submit the form alongwith the main applicant, due to <mention reasons>. The dependent authorises the main applicant to submit the application with the ...
