Just a quick information I found from today regarding the new service Level agreement. https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=3b2f56c7-014d-4429-8e7e-13e3d90ca13a The most interesting bit is the following: As with the current visa application service there will be three main tiers of applica...

Yes. Please check the link above. It gives list of all the service.

The above powerpoint presentation says that the new Sopra steria application tool will be going live tomorrow. If anybody has got a view please share the details of the capabilities of this new tool. I am keen to know if the same day decision from Home office is still available. :!: It is not very c...

Thanks Vinny. I guess that might be the reason why PSc appointment was not available. It will be interesting to see the outcome of the new process. I am assuming with all bureaucracy same day decision is no longer available.

Hi Team I am reading news about new changes in terms of appointment booking for ILR applications. As I understood we would normally be allowed to apply for a U.K. premium service appointment 45 days before. However home office website for appointment booking is showing that no appointments are avail...

Thanks CR001 for your quick response. :) My wife used to work when I was self employed however she doesn't work now.

Thanks vinny. Basically after your initial explanation in the start of the post I am not interested in going through the points based system route for the ILR for my family. However I was trying to enquire which category in the ILR should we be eligible. So just to make sure that I have got it corre...

In continuation of my previous message I would like to reiterate that I had started through work permit from 2008 and followed by Tier 2. After continuing for 5 years I had got ILR on 2014. Situation for my dependent: My spouse has originally arrived in UK during Jan 2010 under Tier 2 - ICT dependen...

Dear members, With reference to my situation given at the top of the post I would like to know some details around ILR for my family. I have tried to visit the website .https://www.gov.uk/settle-in-the-uk . There are few questions around the sponsors situation and it checks if the sponsor was settle...

Thanks michali.

Did you get any response yet? Basically in first option there is a mention of 6 months which is confusing. So any advice will be useful. Second option clearly mentions "(following initial grant of leave to remain"). I guess in this case for Flr m initially it was entry clearance. Can anybo...

Hi, I was an Indian citizen and have got naturalised as UK Citizen. Now my child is still an Indian citizen and same for my wife. We have to renew her Indian passport within UK and seems VFS is asking for following documents: If either of the parents holds a foreign nationality, then a letter from t...

Thanks CR001 for the quick response.

Just read the news regarding PM saying new rules well be in place for Oct 2016 regarding the spousal visa English test.

Does Anybody got any further details?

E.g. will this impact people who are already having spousal visa or during FLR M extension process?

Thanks CR001 for your quick response.

Quick question regarding application of further extension of my spouse and child. I am assuming as per the above notes that I can apply for FLR (M) for my dependents for further extension of their stay in UK. As advised by Vinny I suppose I should delay the application of FLR M so that I don't have ...

Hi, My wife and child is currently in UK as a dependent of a British Citizen. However during their extension process through FLR( M) i can see that there is a requirement to declare the tax credit or tax benefit. I would like to highlight that I have taken Childcare voucher from my company for my ch...

Thanks Vinny.
