thanks, good to know. Now I don't understand why our friend paid all that money when he could just travel with old passport. I wonder if he even knew that!
Hi, apologies if I am posting in wrong section, please divert if so? My husband received ILR a couple of weeks back, great news! Only question is we were talking to a friend of ours who also has ILR whose passport was due to expire and he mentioned various trips to various places costing quite a bit...
yeah thats how i read it, but i'm no expert i'm afraid. Basically for the first few months my husband was in UK we didn't have joint letters so I picked 1 for him dated Jan09 for example and one for me in same month and took that to be 1 out of the 6 required. They seemed happy with that. But like i...
Wow thats a lot of documents.... Probably too many! I think its better to have more than necessary but I would try filter it down a bit. What you really need is just 3-6 months bank statements and wage slips, you don't need them dating back to 2009. Then try to pick out some joint letters or address...
Missy j, if I were you I would seek some advise, have you tried the IAS (immigration advisory service)? I used them for my husbands first spouse visa before he came to UK. They helped loads. There are others places to get advice too, citizens advice and other immigration advice organisations. They'r...
Missy j, I can't say for sure but I think you will be ok as you have the help from your parents too but I expect you will need some evidence from them. Hopefully one of the the senior members and experts will be able to answer your question. Good luck with your application
Hi, i'm not an expert or anything but we've just applied. Our situation was different although on the form we completed, which would be the same one you would need to complete, there is a section that a 3rd party can sign if someone else is helping you financially by paying bills etc. I assume you n...
Hi there, they don't have the facilities at Cardiff PEO to sort out the vignette so the lady explained that it had to go to Sheffield for this. You don't get written confirmation that its been granted, but the case worker told us it had been granted and we were given a letter about ILR. We were told...
Hi, 1. Yes as far as I know too the earliest would be 28 days before 26/05/11 (as that would mean your wife had been in country for 2 years). 2. My husband just took and passed Life in the UK test for his ILR. 3. We included my bank statements and wage slips in my husbands application to show our fi...
Hi all, Just sharing our experience in case it helps others out there. Ours was a reasonably straight forward application. My husband applied using the set(m) application form. He arrived on his spouse visa in Jan 2009 expiry was April 2011, so we decided to apply this month. The first thing he did ...
eager2learn - I was a bit unclear as to the 6 letter thing. We handed in 18 letters, mostly joint, around 12, and some in mine or his name - mainly just letters when my husband first arrived which weren't in joint names. Anyway the lady who dealt with our case just took a few of those. It looks like...
Hi again, we just had straight forward set(m) after my husband had been here 2 years. I think you need a more senior member to help advise? Can anyone help clarify?
Did your wife get a national insurance card and any correspondance from them? Check the set(m) form, hospital/docs letters are OK, does she have any of those? It tells you on page 15 of the form. Telephone bills would be ok, does she have a mobile, and any letter from mobile company? A BT bill would...
Hi, i'm not a senior member however my husband applied and was successful this week. We included our tenancy agreement, some joint account statements, some council tax bills, water bills spanning the 2 years all in joint names. We also included the letter my husband received when he got his national...
Yep Betty anytime between 14th march 2011 - date of expiry (which I assume is July 10th) is fine. But personally I wouldn't leave it as late as expiry! Good luck with your application
Hi Betty. Well my husband came in Jan 2009 and his runs out April 2011 and we could apply between Dec 2010 (28 days before the date he arrived in UK plus 2 years if that makes sense) until the date it runs out in April 2011. So basically we're applying next week. So it sounds like you can apply from...
quick question, with probably obvious answer! my husband is applying for ILR next week. He went back to his home country to see a very sick relative and in total was there for 30 days. Can we just explain this when at the PEO? they can see stamps in passport etc. Do we need anything else? I notice s...
Hi will not having savings go against us? Starting to worry now as we're applying in person next week. Especially with the credit card issue mentioned. Our finances are completely under control and we claim no benefits and can support ourselves fully. Thanks in advance.
Hi, just reading over this post and was a little concerned about the advice not to pay by card. We will be applying for my husbands indefinite leave next week and plan to use my credit card to make the transaction. I have called my bank to make them aware of the amount and rough time. Is this likely...
Hi yep thanks. I know we just need bank statements not credit card statements, but i had a money transfer from credit card company onto my current account in order to pay back a credit card. So basically they will know i have a credit card balance to pay. I just wondered if that would affect anythin...
ok, thanks. Just another question as my other topic was locked. This is specifically related to my husbands wage slips. He unfortunately misplaced some. He has 1 months (most recent) original, and 2 months prior to that are printed on headed paper from employer and bank statements have his pay on an...
Hi, my husband is just applying for ILR SET(M), he has his bank statements for 3 months and wage slips, except only 1 months original wage slips (most recent) the previous 2 months are printed on headed paper of the company and completely match bank statements which are all original anyway, is this ...
Hi there. My husband is going to apply for his ILR next week with the SET(M) form. We have 3 months of his bank statements, wage slips, and 2 years P60's. Got the 6 letters over the 2 years in joint names all sorted out, he's passed his life in UK test and got certificate, got both passports and the...
