For some years, at the beginning of my stay in the UK I never received bills or any d...

Thanks for your help peppekalle, I appreciate.
Laity.

My ILR was endorsed in my passport if you don't have a passport i reckon they would give you the residence card on its own. Have you tried applying for a passport from your embassy?It is not easy to travel without your ILR being endorsed in your passport. Hi peppekalle, Did they endorse it in an ex...

I have not worked for the past few months and things are getting tough so I want to go back to work, can this affect my application? 2. I ne...

Hi guys, I have a question for those that have successfully been granted ILR under the 14 year rule, as I understand it in most cases the applicants have either got an expired passport or have none at all. In this case how does the UKBA give the ILR, do they give you a new ID or is it in a form of a...

Hi guys, Just to let you know that I sat and passed LIUK test today. Everything went well but was very worried that the Ukba might have picked me up from there as I registered all my details on their website so they know that I have overstayed and am trying to regularise my status on the 14yr basis....

Thanks Peppekalle and Imran22, I have already contacted the lawyers and provide them with some of the documentation but I just need to sort out the LIUK. Hopefully I should be alright, am sitting for it next week and will keep you posted, ta.
