An update: I received a voicemail this morning at 9am. This lady from Hounslow Register Office said that she would try phone my alternative number, and if she does not reach me on that, I have to phone and leave my details again, and once again wait for a call back. I did think I could be clever, an...
Hi, I have received my approved applicaion for naturalisation. The letter says to contact Hounslow Register Office to book an appointment. I have phoned, and left my details on a message (they have recorded voice prompting for your details). I notice that some threads mention they received their cer...
I am having a similar problem with getting a refund from UKBA. They accidently charged me twice for confrmation on non-acquisition of British Citizenship. That was last year October! I am still struggling to contact them. I sent two letters, two emails, phoned the contact centre, and have now resort...

@sameer9966 It doesnt matter if you moved within the 2 year period. Try to get an even spread over the 2 year period. For example, one at the beginning, middle and end of each year (roughly). So, if your application is in Jan 2012, aim for about these dates: Jan 2010, June 2010, Nov 2010, Feb 2011, ...
Hi, I have just found out this morning that the payroll department has made a massive mistake on my husbands payslip. They can correct the payslip, but the payment amount cannot be changed as it is too late. The payroll accidently paid him a double performance bonus. His pay is way above what it is ...
I dont know much about the medical field, but from what I can see ''Qualified nurse (band 5 or equivalent) £20,710'' You can find your SOC Code here: (I think it may be 3211) - http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/employersandsponsors/pointsbasedsystem/nvq3-cop/section-q1.pdf?view...
Another good source is requesting an Employment History from HMRC. It takes about a week to 10 days to arrive. ( http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/faqs/nicqemp.htm#9 ) Phone 0845 300 0627 (The options will be : 2 ; 3 ; 6). You will need to give them your National Insurance number, and then answer a few securit...
If the dependant is applying for ILR at the same time as you, then their details are entered on your form, and do not need to complete a seperate form. Their is a reduced fee if the dependant is included on your form. These are in the guidance notes, and also on the payment page of the application f...
Hi Malepiscean, Thanks for the reply. We are well below the allowed absences, so we have filled them out on the application form. All of the absences fit in the allocated space, so no worries there. As my husband is under the old work permit route he does not have to score any points in various cate...
My husband is applying for ILR under the old Work Permit (Closed Category). I will be applying as a dependant. These are the documents we will be taking with us: SET (O) (Version 10/2011) Section 4 - Knowledge of Life in the UK Life in the UK Pass Notification Section 5 – Home and Finances Recent Pa...
We had a similar situation as my husband was on a 2 year working holiday visa working at the company before applying for a work permit. I spoke to a immigration lawyer about it and they said to only include info about the work permit. So, on your employer letter your start date should reflect your f...
1. Even though you are considered to be part of the old work permit system, your pay rate will need to be reflected according to the new rules. You will need to be earning the correct hourly rate for the SOC code that matched your job. You can have pay rises as long as it is not very different (with...
You may get ILR without these documents but requirement is that for 5 years you have been economically active. Employer letter is not as authenticated as HMRC documents The requirement for being economically active relates to Tier 1 applications only, and not to Tier 2 applications, as the applican...
Thanks for the info. I can supply recent payslips without any issues, as my salary has been increased with immediate effect, and my application will be in Jan 2012. So, I can product at least 3 payslips. My question has more to do with: ''Document(s) confirming that you have spent a continuous perio...
Hi, Firstly - Congratulations!!! Could you let me know if you had to provide any P60's to support your application. I'm referring to the Home Office requiring proof that you were in the UK for 5 years, specifically working as a Work Permit Holder. It seems many people are saying you MUST supply P60'...
Hi, I'm having a similar issue, although I haven't submitted my application yet. I haven't seen in any Home Office documentation/articles/rules/etc that they specifically request that applicants submit their P60's. They simply want you to prove that you have been working according as a Work Permit h...
Hi, I've read a few posts which have been very helpful. Most recommend supplying P60's for the 5 year period in order to meet the requirement ''Document(s) confirming that you have spent a continuous period of 5 years in the UK: as a work permit holder'' My salary over the last few years has been be...
Don't use 4162 Office Supervisor if it isn't on the COP list. The job needs to be ''Skilled'' according to the Border Agency standards. So, if it isnt on the COP list, they don't consider it to be skilled. Although 3539 Business and related associate professionals not elsewhere classified is on the ...
We are applying at the end of Jan, as our visas expire on 12 Feb 2012. This is the letter we have shown my husbands employer, and he seems happy to sign it. We will only get him to sign it in Jan so that the letter is as recent as possible. I am considering (will go speak to an immigration adviser s...
Go to the test centre with 2 forms of ID and your proof of address and ask them to correct the certificate. You never know, they might help you seeing as it was their error. I did read on the Life in UK Test website that '' If you lose this letter, you will not be given a new one to replace it. This...
