I assume he/she must be looking for specialist highly skilled job with the phd,not just ordinary office position in small firm. obviously,luck always play an important role here,but if he/she got the skill that other british/european candidates don't possess,then he/she will have no problem with ge...
Hi everyone, I aplied for my ilr on 9th feb on the basis of long residence (10 years student). Today i called Home office and the lady replied that my application is not yet completed. Does it mean my application is in a queue waiting for a caseworker or is it under process? It means nothing. It me...
P LEASE ADVISE . I'am still awaiting my ILR decision, which means I do not have my passport with me. However, as I'm completing my PhD this September and desperately need a job, am concerned employers would hesitate giving me a job without sighting the visa which allows me to live and work in the U...

You can either take hope in what I'm about to say or dismiss it. It appears that the UKBA have started processing my application. As some of you know I applied under the long term basis in mid-January. It is my 5 month anniversary this week. So it could be my news is an indicator to other January ap...
Hi Kiwigirl25, As in life you have to take the good with the bad and I would like to think that the support you have received in this forum far outweighs your regrets. Some choices are hard to make and sometimes you do not have a choice and some immigration issues leave me in anger at deception use...
Thanks powermatic I have checked all card details and they are ok, I think my bank might have declined their transaction. Now I have sent application form again with cheque to address which case worker gave me in letter. So I hope this time they will be able to take payment and able to process my a...
I tried doing that, but my uni admin told me they cannot discuss any communications made between them and the UKBA; even though I tried to explain I didn't care about the content of their conversation. So annoying! I'm lost for words. :? I think it could potentially be because those with work permi...
Hi kiwi, 14 years in one's life is a LONG period,If someone is able to pass that then that person must be having nerves of steel.I don't think couple of years would make any difference but OP has found this forum as a place to share his emotions and that's the mistake he is making.Sometimes it is b...
You have been here for 14 years and know how to survive for sure.Why on earth you are thinking of it and get worried?The best advice would be to enjoy every day of life, may be one day you will get a surprise of a lifetime in the morning by post which you dreamt for 8) Stop visiting this forum as i...
To the 10 year students that are still waiting: It seems to me that UKBA contact the universities and colleges you attend to gain clarification of your status. So have any of you who are still waiting made contact with the uni admin office to see if UKBA have contacted them? There is a possibility t...
cloudstar, I am still confused mate, how could you have missed these points in the SET(O) guide document. it clearly says all the requirements and the docs to send . :P coolboyuk, you know I very rarely disagree with you but... :wink: I had this exact same argument with my solicitor when I was prep...
I called the UKBA and they confirmed that 6 months is 24 weeks. So Ill see what happens within the next three weeks. I am going to start writing letters to them because making phone calls is probably a waste of time. Do you know when parliament breaks up for the summer? Yes, I do... but only becaus...
Biege!! Hope you don't mind me asking but you're 3 weeks away from your 6 month anniversary. Are you planning to complain at that stage? Yes!! I have every intention of doing so. I don't think its fair to make anyone wait past the 6 month period for a straightforward application. I'm not sure what ...
Sonia My appointment is also on the 9th June for ILR, to be on the safe side I changed my bank statement date to 1st June and received my Bank statement 2 days ago. Best thing is to go to your branch and get it stamped or get it printed on letter head. If you're with Barclays go to Chanary Wharf br...
I have applied after 4 years of HSMP permit under HSMP JR rules. I had originally 1 year and then 4 years HSMP extension but with the dates I had my first HSMP visa I am entitled to apply to ILR after four years. Hope that answers your questions.. It did, thank you. You've posted in the wrong threa...
I would take it along with you. Best to have too much documentation than too little. There is a strong possibility they might not ask for it but what if they do and you don't have it?
But don't waste time getting it translated, just have to hand.
Dear All, I have applied for ILR Set(o) JR in Just before CHristmas and received my confirmation letter on 29/12/2009. I have applied for myself and also 2 dependants and still waiting for my application to be completed. I would like to know if anybody applied around this time and still waiting ? O...
I applied 6 months ago 4 ILR via post based on married to a british citizen, i came to Uk in 2002 as a student, got married in 2007. Now I was called for an interview with my wife. They asked us to take council tax letter with us and recent bills. Why would they call for interview after 6 months? A...
Hi, Anyone knows how long does the HO take to send passports back once they have reached a decision? I was asked to come to the HO for an identity check. there they told me to expect the passport within a weeks time. Its been 3 weeks now I haven't recieved anything. when i call them they have no up...

So, where is everyone - perhaps you guys got your documents, got really excited, bought flight tickets and went on holiday
That's exactly what I thought Maybe that's what's happen to the UKBA staff. They've closed up for the summer and have gone on holiday. Sure feels like it.
this is the most depressing case. See if you can bring this up in media without putting in your name. this is really too wiered I agree, depressing and also bizarre. Time to contact your MP and insist they raise this case with the parliamentary ombusman. The others that were in the same situation a...
