Ah but under Contacts/What our staff expect ... We will do our best to provide you with the services you need, when you want them. In return we ask that you: - do not contact us to ask about the progress of your application unless we have failed to meet published targets; For all ILR application, ap...
can someone please tell me: where did you hear that we can be enquiring about the progress of application after 3 months? In my acknowledgement letter none of the timeline is mentioned - instead they wrote that I should not disturb them before they will write back to me. I'm confused too as to wher...
Wow! The "received" list is now longer than the waiting list :shock: Congrats to everyone that has received their ILR over the past week. Such a huge relief for all of you. On a personal note, it's my 3 month (12 week) anniversary this week. If the theory is correct that rejects hear withi...
Neither. Pre-election both have plans to get immigrants out (could change post-election as most policies do). Brown won't do anything to regulate the banking system as he's pally with the bankers, neither will the Tories for the same reason. So the rich will continue getting richer and the poor .......
dolf can you tell us how you get step on your application push by MP or calling to make a complaint....etc???? thanks if you can share your story out It's too late to get your MP involved. As someone stated earlier MPs cease being MPs when parliament is dissolved next Monday, 12th April. If you loo...
If all else fails you might consider the Green Card Lottery: http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_1322.html Registration for 2011 has completed, registration for the following year usually opens Oct 2010. Australia is an eligible country. However with your poor immigration record you ...
Sorry about my comment regarding your current relationship. Upon reflection my opinion wasn't required on that matter :( The advice given to go home and sort things out over there is the best advice. I can't think of any other way to get direct to the USA without any hinderance. It's highly unlikely...
Hi nishsil I'm afraid it won't. People who have been waiting a long time have "straight forward" applications and have provided above the required documents. If your application passes the initial checks then you will go into the queue, behind those who have been waiting 30 weeks+. The goo...
I have just received a letter today from HO saying that my application is currently under active consideration on Liverpool casework team, and I will be notified of the final decision asap. They would expect me to be contacted regarding with my application within the next 2-3 weeks I think the deci...
Entering the UK could be a problem. 'Losing' your old passpor and obtaining a new one will only make the UK immigration officer more suspicious. Are you going to "lose" your passport? I thought it expired. In that case, you will have to provide a police report with your renewal. The AHC w...
The Australian High Commission couldn't careless about your overstay. I recently renewed by NZ passport and the NZ High Commission didn't even mention the expired visa in my old passport. Had my new passport within a week, no problems. Your only worry is will you flag up on their systems when you go...
@ kiwigirl, I was being sarcastic. By the way, what were the names of Boudicca's children and grandchildren who you have in your family tree? Where did you have to go to look at those records, I always thought records from that far back are a bit sketchy. There are lots of loan words from French in...
Further to this article it has been proven that Brown has been "playing" with the facts to make him look good (which is a very difficult task) so I would take some of facts in the original article with a pinch of salt.
Back to the original BBC article. I don't think that party would be able to expain that sort of policy with any coherency. And as we all know the UK is such a wonderful place, who would ever want to leave. Only the thousand of Brits that leave every year :lol: I've been tracing my family history wh...
Hangermajor - thanks for your story, some very interesting points. Why do you think you've hurt someone? Have I missed something? Your story certainly gave me something to think about. It appears that if do you hear within 3 months it's bad news. Over this time it's a positive because they are carry...
taylondon - that's attricious!! No-one has the right to put the phone down on you. If you dealt with the situation in a calm manner then what business has he to take that action. Even if you were "screeching" at him he has to warn you first that he isn't happy with your attitude to give yo...
That's good news for you and your wife but it all depends on the type of application and partially on the documentation. With your wife's type of application it is quite common to hear within 1-2 months as UKBA only have a couple of years stay to look at. ILR applications based on long-term residenc...
Further to what Casa says, they won't let you leave the centre until everyone has finished the test. It isn't until everyone has finished that they print off the results and you most certainly can't leave until you have those. That was my experience in November last year. I had to arrive 30 minutes ...
I only received my passports back, but my KOL certificate was not returned? Anybody know if this is normal? Call HO to enquire as you may need KOL certificate again when you apply for citizenship. The UKBA site says If you satisfied the settlement-stage requirements to have sufficient knowledge of ...
Hi boonbin That was interesting Saturday morning reading. My question is based on the average processing time for over 6 months as I think the figure is too great for a 10 year legal application. Taking the sample applications on this site, the average appears to be approx 30 weeks which is, roughly...
Come on Mods, lynnuk, notsunny, imm-whatsit and all the others are the same person, same syntax, same spelling mistakes and grammar errors, even line spacing. If I'm wrong I'll bare my arse on Bolton Town Hall steps. Again. Tell me when and what time and I'll bring my camera :lol: but there is a sn...
