Hello My passport containing my ILR was stolen last year. I was advised that needed a Biometric Card as ILR’s are no longer transferred into passports. It’s taken me ages to get all the documents together and I do hope someone could advise me on whether I have everything required to apply for my Bio...

Thank you sooo much! Quite relieved about that!! )

Thanks - I haven't received my new passport yet and I doubt I'll receive it for at least another month. Do you think my new employers will accept my expired passport while I wait for my new one?

Hi, I hope someone can help! My South-African Passport has expired and I'm still waiting for my new one. The South-African government's extremely slow with processing new passports!! I'm starting a new job soon and don't know what to do. My ILR is inside my expired passport and not sure whether they...

Hi, My South-African passport has expired and I'm waiting for a new one to arrive at the express speed of nearly 4 months! :P What is required to get a new Biometric Card? I'm on an ILR, which is my expired passport. Really desperate to get some form of identification as I require it for a CRB check...

Hi, My appointment with the PEO in Croydon's on the 10th February. I've requested copies of my bank statements for the last 3 months from Barclays. The statements arrived today, but they are not on their official letterhead. There's only an accompanying letter stating that this is my duplicate state...

Thanks for all the advice!

Now, should I make mention of of the change of company name to the POE or is this not required? I just want to be as transparent as possible...

I agree with you... The less complicated it can be the better! It's really not something that I would like to drag out for ever and ever. Do I then just make mention of the two WP visa's? Do I use the first WP visa's date as first date of entry or do I use the Working Holiday Visa's date? Thanks aga...

Can I please have some kind of a response to my questions...

I will really appreciate it!

Thanks,

During this time our company changed their name and I informed the Home Office of this change, which the...

We're both from South Africa. When you say that we need to convince the ECO of her return to our home country after the 2 years, what do we need to provide them with?

Hi,

I'm engaged to be married, but would like my fiance to come over on a Working Holiday Visa to be with me. I'm on a 5 yr WP (2nd one) living and working in the UK.

1. Can I act as a sponsor for her on this basis?
2. If so - what's required from me?

Thanks for this. I really appreciate it! Can she be included on my WP before we get married or only after?

Hi, I'm on a 5yr WP, which I received just recently. I plan got engaged this weekend and plan on getting married in December. What do I need to do to have her included on my WP?
