Hi, I would like to know what visa options are available to invite my parents to migrate permanently to the UK? I am a British citizen however my parents are Indian citizens. They do not require special care of assistance. I've seen the category of "Family of a settled person in the UK" vi...
Hi Experts, I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to find it, so apologies for duplication if this topic already exists. I got my UK citizenship certificate on 27th April 2013, and now have a UK Passport as valid from 16th May 2013. Previous to this, I have a valid Indian pa...
Hi, I am currently an Indian Citizen and have just received my letter confirming my citizenship has been accepted. I understand that I have to attend a ceremony in order to get the certificate, and I would like to know what the process is following that in order to surrender the Indian passport and ...
Hi, I have already taken the Life in the UK test and got my ILR based on that last year. I am now applying for naturalization, but I do not have the reference number for the Life in the UK test I took last year.

Hi Everyone, Just had a successful ILR application at Croydon, and I thought I'll share my experiences in case its helpful to someone. My ILR application was made up of a WP + Tier 1 (General) + Tier 1 Extension (General). My WP was granted on 17th Nov 2006 I arrived at the building at 10:15am, and ...
right, got it clarified by ringing the home office, seems they have made an admin error on the website.
Incase someone else gets stung by this, for applicaitons using SET(O), you do not have to make a payment online, and the payment will be processed the same day as your appointment.
Hi everyone, I have my appointment booked for 10th November, and I made the booking using the online service. I was just downloading the new version of the form, and I saw this on the website: If you want to book an appointment at a UK Border Agency Public Enquiry Office (PEO) you must do this befor...
Hi, I was just going through the SET(0) form for my upcoming application for ILR, based on a WP->Tier1->Tier1 (Renewal) route. I got my first Tier 1 visa before the April 2010 rules (on 05/09/08), and I then renewed it earlier this year, which means the renewal falls under the "post April 2010...

Hi Everyone, A bit of history about my visa (It wont take long :)) I came here in October 2001 as a student, and then found employment and got my first Work Permit, valid from 17th November 2006. Since then, I switched to Tier 1, and have also renewed it once. Based on that, I have 2 questions: 1) I...
Hi, Can someone please tell me if there is a time limit on the validity results for the life in the UK tests before applying for ILR? My ILR is due for renewal in November, and was just wondering if I can apply for the test now, and also if I need to a letter from the immigration office before I app...
Hi Hussain, I also tried (in vain) to secure an appointment in person, but the system just doesn't show any slots. I guess the only thing you can do is send it by post. From what I know, your visa date is taken from the point when the home office receives your application. Besides, if you send it no...
Hi, I am applying for an extension to my Tier 1 Visa, and have just had my Biometric details registered at the post office. Do I need to send the confirmation letter/receipt from the post office, or any other documentation back to my caseworker, or will the post office do what's needed automatically...
Hi Everyone, I am applying for an extension of my Tier 1 visa (initial one granted before April 2010). My application is quite straightforward, but I would just like to get some clarifications regarding the paperwork to be sent, since some it feels ambiguous to me 1) Date of entry to the UK (Questio...
Not a problem, your new visa will be valid from when they consider your application, not from the visa expiry date as mentioned on HO website When to apply We encourage you to make your application at least 1 month before your current permission to stay expires. However, if you apply significantly ...
First of all sorry to hear about your circumstances. I personally expereinced it, so i can understand truly how disturbing this is. But eventually this will go away, don't worry. Coming back to your questions. You do not need to be in continuous employment during the 12-month period being assessed,...
Hi Everyone, I am currently under a Tier 1 visa, which is due to expire on 5th September 2011. I am employed by a multinational private company in London, and have a clean credit history in this country. Due to major reforms in the company, I am at the risk of being made redundant. I wanted to know ...
Hi Guys, I got a work permit from a company, valid from Nov'06 - Nov'11. Thereafter, I applied for a Tier 1 visa, and got that stamped, valid from Sept'08-Sept'11. Now, I would like to apply for ILR, and really do not wish to first get a Tier 1 extension from Sept'11-Nov'11 and then apply for ILR. I...
