Hi
Any one had any update on application in Birmingham recently. I applied back in August, no response yet.
Please update how many are in this situation.

I applied on 8th Aug, same story.Birm

I'm still waiting too. I'm gonna call the office tomorrow. It seems to me that this problem hasn't happened before and only started recently. I haven't found any official documents or rules that mention the name on British passport must match the name on foreign passport, instead, it only says the ...

My wife had also faced same issue because of changing surname during naturalization process. It has been 5 weeks since we applied, in the end there was no solution. We just sent authorization letter to examiner saying we will surrender indian passport as soon as we get british passport as we dont h...

Thanks

My Issue is I do have an Observation in the passport of my MArried name, which they haven't replied in writing if they are accepting or not.

We have the same issue, my Indian PP HAS A observation with my married name which HMPO would not accept. Not sure what to do now, guys above did u all get the PP sorted

hahaha jpk you really made me laugh, " We all knew it was going to take up to 6 months " actully we all knew that it will take less than 6 months and rarely when it takes 6 months or more, the home office r telling us is taking 6 months to give themselves enought time and room to process ...

Hi guys I have a problem in sending my docs for tax credits. My situation is: I sent my joint application by middle of August. Recieved a letter on 27th Dec to send our original passports and bbrp. But we have left to india on 30th and returning on 23rd of jan, means I couldn't send my docs until 24...

Tax credit office seems to be pretty rubbish, I applied for tax credits in the beginning of August. When I phone they repeat the same slogan saying they are doing further checks.
I don't know what to do???

Sorry to hijack the tread, any idea how long it takes for tax credits to be approved for settlement holders, it has been 2 months since I applied! When I phone they say they are doing some checks??? But how loooooong???

Hi
Me and my wife and kids are Indian citizens, on ILR in UK. can anyone let us know, which countries can we visit without needing visa?
Thanks for your reply

We got our ILR APPROVED in Croydon, I would say fairly excellent service. Appt was at 9.10 but went in 8.30, after all the usual procedure which finished by 9.50, because I had 3 dependants. My ILR was ready to collect in 10.40, yes just 50 mins for the decision. My application is straight forward, ...

did you get your decision

Congrats
How much did you pay fees, did you earlier paid the appt fees and did they reduce to 4515 when you paid at HO

Hi guys Pls help me. I was in psw visa, when I applied for in 2008 applied around feb 2008 for Teir 1 and got visa on 10/09/2008. Visa valid date: 03/09/2008, Visa expiry date: 21/08/2011. I was given 12 days less for my 3 years. I applied for extension The extension was valid from 22/08/2011 to 20/...

I am not sure if immigrAtion is a bondage, actually SIN is!!!

Is it true that documents are sent to applicants via the DX, we had a card through our letter box saying re signed letter. Do you guys get back the docs via THE DX too. We are still waiting on BRP replacement card after 3 months

I thought they were closing the PSW altogether but seems a relaxation here, if a student have a job offer of 20K then they get 2 years Teir 2 general visa automatically. I think they have heard what British Council were saying.
After all they are not tightening visas are they!!!

there seems to be some noise in the tabloid this weekend, hope something useful.
