so why does it feel wrong???

Hi Everyone One useful discussion which as far as I am aware has not taken place so far in the forum for members would be with regards to the pros and cons of applying by post as compared to applying by PEO. So in my case where I think my wife's ILR application is quite straightforward as in we have...

Hi Everyone Do the ILR case workers (if that is the right name for them) actually check if the bills come out of the bank statements or will just the names of the bills suffice?? for example - if I prove 2 telephone bills in joint names, will they want to check the bill against the bank statements t...

If the form asks for it specifically, then YES. As far as I am aware the SET(M) form does not ask for it so if Mobarak if you are applying using the SET(M) form it does not mention it HOWEVER I have included a letter from father whom I live with stating his consent for me to live with him at his ho...

Hi Everyone I was wondering what to expect for our ILR appointment in Liverpool. It appears such a question has not been asked here before. One big question I have is that are they going to interview my wife (who is applying) and/or me ? Are they going to check her english (even though she has passe...

Hi Everyone I just need to ask hopefully a simple question requiring a simple answer which would put my mind at ease once for all. I am British and my wife is Pakistani and is here in the UK on a settlement visa. We had a child recently - I presume my child is automatically considered Britsh and hen...

You're welcome. It may also be wise to take your marriage certificate with you. It isn't on the list, but it is sometimes asked for at a PEO application. Yes I have a marriage certificate from Pakistan in urdu and an attested english translation - we used this for this certificate for the spuse vis...

I don't have the answer to your 2nd question, but you'll see that I added an edit to my original post about ESOL. thanks very much for your reply - yes I have a template letter from the colleague which is identical to the template letter to the Home Office template letter on their website. - thanks...

Hi Everyone Thankfullly I have been able to book a PEO appointment in Liverpool for my wife with no dependents in the first week of January. but then some questions have occured to me (and I couldnt find the answers using the search facility ) 1) During the appointment can I accompany my wife purely...

as its owned property by parents, better to provide other docs like voting card, bank statements, NHS letters, any travel insurance of last two yr time, salary slips and p60 if working which hold same address... if just for cohab docs,,, then above mentioned should be fine. thanks for the reply.muc...

Hi Everyone I have a simple question which I cannot determine from the SET(M) guidance notes Do I need to include any accomodation letters for ILR app? Just to be clear that I live at home rent free with my father who owns the property. The ILR application is for my wife who is Pakistani and has bee...

I'm not being evasive but as I don't know the exact circumstances of his departure from the UK, it's not possible to say what restrictions apply to his re-entry. Perhaps a ban, perhaps not; was he removed or did he go of his own free will. If he, himself, can't say what happened he should seek prof...

Until you clarify what you mean by 'removal' - voluntary, involuntary, at his expense or the expense of the state, within or outside a six month notice period - there is not much that can be added further. Ask him to read the rules and match his situation to the various ban periods Here are the rul...

I don't actually believe this story as you have described. There are more holes in it than a Swiss cheese. That's no reflection on you as you appear to be merely passing on what you have been told, which appears to be very limited information. However, whatever the actual truth of the story, if he ...

People are not arrested and removed merely if their marriage breaks down when the UKBA are informed of this. (and it's not grassing up; it's what is the sponsor is supposed to do). At best, nothing happens and the visa expires meaning the person has to leave. At worse, the UKBA write to the person ...

Hi Everyone Last night I was asked a question from a friend about his brother's situation If a Pakistani national was in the UK on a settlement visa but his marriage broke down and his wife grassed him upto the UKBA who inturn arrested him and sent him back to Pakistan (I thnk the official term is &...

Thanks very much

imranh, We are in a similar situation - due to apply using SET(M) next month so its good to be able to compare notes. You have a good list of documents. Do the bank / utility statements with your wife's name go back the whole 2 years? i.e. can you prove you were living together in say, March 2011? ...
