Just wondering...

Normally through ILR but I think there is some category under which you could apply directly for Naturalisation like EU nationals.

I switched to HSMP in Jan 2008 and she was switched again as my dependant. She however had to live in India from ...

If I am visiting a PEO alone and carrying the passports of dependants, do I need to carry 6 set of proofs. I have so far managed only these 1) Joint bank account statements. 2) Council tax bills. Am I short on docs ? I was hoping the above would suffice. Do I need more ? regards SKT Normally they a...

Yes, we all went. My wife and son were not even seen by the case worker. My daughters making their separate applications just handed in their applications and the LITUK certificates and their part was over. The caseworker went through the application form page by page and asked few cursory question...

I thought I should share my experience on this forum because I benefited from contributors of this forum. My situation is such that I was under the HSMP JR, and here is the breakdown of my work visa history: first date-03/10/06 and valid until 02/10/08 renewed-29/09/08 and valid until 02/10/11 My I...

Set(O) Judicial Review Applicant. I plan to get a single employer letter issued stating both employment and business trips undertaken in recent years. Is that fine ? Who should the employment letter be addressed to, if I want to keep it generic / open. I mean, I want to be able to decide at the las...

@ skt1977 Hello skt1977 As I said in my last post, my initial entry into UK was on 3 Oct 2006 (19 days after the visa was stamped) Thanks for your concern and yes I am hoping for the best. Thank for your reply SG IMHO you would get the ILR. There have been several cases like yours reported on this ...

mk357, we had booked through the website. I think the online booking process has changed recently. As we progress through the booking, it asks for dependents details and also informs that all the dependents should attend the interview. May be you can register and go through the process till the las...

Thanks. We used Set O forms. I believe Set (M) is to be used if the dependent is applying at a later date than the main applicant. The fee was £1350. Thanks for the reply. Just two more questions. How did you book the appointment for all the family? Did you phone them or though their website? and ...

Thanks Networkers But the problem is that I dont have P60 for april 2007 ( Covering April 2006- March 2007) as I was unemployed. I do have P60s from April 2007- Mar 2008, Apr 2008- Mar 2009, Apr 2009-Mar 2010 and Apr 2010 - Mar 2011 ( 4 in total) You should be fine with the 4 P60. Hi guys, I am in ...

Congratulations. I must say it was a complicated case. Just one question which form did you use for your daughters over 18 years? Is it SET(F) and what fee did you pay for them?

Friends, My situation is unique. I know that candidates covered by Judicial Review schema don't have to apply for second extension if the short fall for the settlement is less than 3 months. But in my case the short fall is 3.5 months and I was away from UK for 5.5 months in between, hence I believ...

Hi, Mu current Tier 1 visa expires at the end of October and I intend to apply for extension in person at PEO Croydon. I have a few doubts regarding the process - 1.

IMHO if all your docs are genuine and verifiable then there is no point of any concern. Thanks have been waiting for the last few hours for someone to reply. My concern is what if he submitted some fake documents with my application along with the genuine ones I gave. Surely I now know that this gu...

Hi, I am due to apply for my ILR in Dec under the pre Nov 2006 HSMP Judicial Review 5 year completion.

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...
