I dont have any immediate travel planned.

So if I submit the application form on Monday as next day delivery, are you suggesting that I will get the originals back within 4-6 weeks?

So I dont have to wait until naturalisation approval (i.e. 3 months) ?

Regards

Oh wait, sorry that may mean submitting originals ?

damn, might have to wait for two months if I dont get an appoinment on Mon.

Regards

Thanks all.

I might go down the postal route as I already have the application pack ready.

Thanks, well I know I can wait until Feb 2015 But I was thinking if there is minimal risk and if the application is sent by next day delivery (which is what the council told me on phone) then home office should recieve it next day. I was checking a. if its worth the risk and b. if I can walk in If I...

I arrived back in Feb 2010 and flew on 4th Dec, stamp on arrival is of 5th Dec. So if the home office receives application on the next day of appointment then I can submit on the 2nd or 3rd Dec and see if I can get my date changed to any of these? My current appointment is on 4th Dec and if I read c...

Hi, I have a NCS appointment booked for 4th of Dec. However I have now realised that I was out of the UK on 4th Dec, 5 years back so wont qualify. My leave then was fairly long so I wish to send in the application such that it is received by the home office when I was in UK, 5 years back and hence b...

Sorry guys, but can you please summarise the few posts above this one ?

Thanks for the quick reply.

I have been informed that the minimum age to bring adult relatives is 65, however the IDI says 18.

Does anyone have confirmation on this ?

Also, any help with other queries in my first post will be appreciated.

However, after 5 years I would also like to get them to move to UK permanently. 1. ) With regards to this, can someone please point me to the UKB...

Anyone please ? I read on this link http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-immigration/partners-families/citizens-settled/spouse-cp/can-you-apply/ You cannot apply in a partner category if you: are the spouse or partner of a person who is settled in the UK or has British citizenship if their most r...

Hi all, Can someone please advise me on- What visa would a Tier 1 General Dependent holder apply to come to the UK if he is out of the UK and the current Tier 1 Dependent leave has expired and if the main visa holder has ILR. The dependent does not qualify for ILR yet since hehas been cohabitating f...

Anyone ?

Thanks.

Do you mean they were coming back in 3 months in the same year ? That means they were allowed to stay more than 6 months in the same year (with a break obviously).

Anyone else here who has applied for a 5 Year UK visitors visa ?

Hi, I am currently on ILR and plan to invite my parents here on the 5 Year UK Family Visitor visa – VAF1B. - If they get the visa, can they stay here for more than 6 months in a year with a break in between ? As I know, the visa allows to stay for a continuous period of 6 months. Say if they come, s...

Thanks greenie for your help.

Greenie, Thanks. Yes its a no brainer to extend and apply in a years time. But there are reasons for which I wanted to know about this option. It is something that I as a sponsor would want to know. But if she applies for a new dependent visa again and falls in the 5 year rule will she have to wait ...

Yes, but if I do not go down that route and choose what I have in the first post will that be an issue.

Greenie, Thanks for the reply. She has lived for a year with me and the current visa was issued in Mar 2012. Yes, I meant partner of a settled person my bad. Am aware of the new 5 year requirement, need to find about the new income requirement - if you have a link handy then that would be great. The...

Need some help here guys. My wife is on T1G Dependent and I am on ILR. Her visa expires in April 20013. If she goes outside the UK in March 2013 and is out until say Sept 2013, I understand that the current dependent visa would have been expired by then. But can I apply for a new dependent visa from...

Thanks.

I am in permanent employment.

The case worker said that by the way I had arranged all documents separately, looking at the cover letter and highlighting the salary in bank statements.

I found it took more time in Croydon...I was ready to go in 2 hours and people seemed more friendly too.

To answer on the employer letter - I carried with me employer letter from current employer which explained that I am permement employee, salary, etc and that my holidays are paid. Also took a letter from previous employer with whom I was on WP having details of all holidays and that they were paid. ...

I got it on the 4th day...even I was worried after three days.

Kevin,

Yes, however for passport the caseworker requested only the front page and nothing else. She said that she doesnt need all the pages.

I had copies of all the stamps.

Also no photocopy for the SET (O) form...
