imranh, the context of your question is clearly ILR, and getting that for your wife. So it has to be said that merely getting some sort of ESOL rating of her English ability is not going to assist at all. She will need to supply either a pass certificate from the Life in the UK Citizenship test, or...
Hi Can anyone please help me with providing information regarding ESOL Tests? I have been looking around on the net for good info but I cant find anything helpful. Basically my wife is Pakistani and is here on a settlement visa - in 2 years time she will apply for ILR. Now What I am looking for is 1...
Hi I got my first bill letter and its addressed as my title, first initial and surname and my wife's title first initial and surname. For example MR J Bloggs and Mrs J Bloggs Now is this sufficient when I use this for my wife to apply for ILR as our first names are not showing?? do the full name ne...

thanks for that guys - much appreciated what should i or my wife be doing now/ or in the near future to help her apply for ILR when the time comes??? at the moment i am teaching her english and british culture and she will on an english language and culture course next year. she has registered with ...
If you download form SET(M) from the UKBA website this will give you an idea of what you need to prepare under current regulations , which may well change before your wife qualifies for ILR. I have already checked the form but it shows no requirements/criteria. thats why I am slightly confused !!!!
Hi All My wife is Pakistani and came to the UK just over a week ago on a settlement VISA and her VISA expires Feb 2013. Now I know it may be way too early to think about applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) but I was just wondering what I/she would need to do to apply for ILR and what would...
i got a couple of more questions 1) what question will they ask my wife when she gets at the airport and what documents should she carry if any (tb test certificate etc etc)????? 2) my name is spelt incorrectly on the Pakistani ID card (one latter is missing)- when i went to Pakistan to get married ...
Salaam to all, Soon i am going to apply for my wifes visa. My employer told me that they don't provide a general employment letter, but they do provide a specific employment letter e.g bank, council or home office. now, my question is to whom should i request a letter, e.g to home office, islamabad...
ImranH...what are the updates? alhamdulillah by the grace and will of almighty allah swt my wife collected her passport and it was stamped with her visa. I am relieved that this agonising wait has come to an end - i guess i will only believe it when she comes here. i will like to say thanks to ever...
I applied on 30-08-2010, No employer contact, and got email response for decision made on 24-11-2010. Just curious to know that people who submitted around me have started getting their documents back in either case of approval/rejection of visa. Can anybody guess why it might take so long to get a...

salams all i did not have the patience to wait till next week to email UK Visa authorities so I emailed them today to ask about my case and they replied a decision has been made on 23/11/2010 and Gerrys will contact my wife in the next few weeks to pick up her passport. If they decided yesterday wh...
a decision was made on my wifes application on Tuesday (23/11/2010) - does anyone know the number for Gerrys so i can enquire (from UK) about when to collect the passport?????
it appears that for post October applicants alot of the VISA processing is done in Pakistan and its alot quicker a friend of mine applied end of October he got a call a couple of weeks ago from Pakisan about his application and his VISA was issued this week. quite remarkable.
once a decision has been made does anyone know when we will find out when the applicant collects their passport. is it on the online tracking system or will the applicant be contacted by Gerrys??????
Thanks Mr imranh for providing the email address. Kindly add my details to the aug spredsheet Applied : 31-08-2010 no employer contact Email Decision : 24th november 2010 i have added you on the August only spreadsheet. btw, where did you apply?? also i noticed that you had no employer contact - if...
