Thank u. That gives me some relief

Also can my wife's friend whom I came to know through my wife be my referee? Again, although she is a professional, she doesn't personally know me but rather an acquaintance.[/code]

I do have others who are professionals but they don't really know me "personally" as such while others don't know me for three or more years

Hi
I will be applying for BC soon on the basis of my marriage with my wife who is British. I am thinking of appointing a professional referee as her mother's brother's wife. She's a doctor but not my doctor. Will she be classed as related to me? She doesn't share the same surname as my wife's family.

Hello there I apologise beforehand if this topic has been discussed before but I couldn't find the specific answer and hence the reason for my new topic. I want to know if I qualify for the BC. There is an explanation on HO website but I am not sure if I really understand. a. I arrived in the UK in ...

Thanks RT I have rang the bank to check whether any payments have been requested. The answer from them was "no". Also, I double checked it with them whether they have any technical issues with the ongoing problems NATWEST had. All have been resolved. I rang HO - they said it might take tim...

Hi Zishi

They received it last Friday (29/06/2012). I know it's been only 3 working days, but reading the posts on here, it seems like HO takes the money straightaway.

C'mon guys.. any information or personal experiences on this?

Hello there I have sent my application form along with a huge amount of documents for ILR last week. The money has not be debited from my bank account yet.

Thanks Jambo, that answers my query to the point. Cheers

I would be grateful if anybody else could answer my query clearly. I do not believe in clairvoyants and this isn't the site for those sort of talk anyway.

Obviously we both intend to live together but unfortunately due to the jobs, we have to live separately until one of us find the job near to the others.
We intend to see each other every weekend - but how am I supposed to prove this unless they set a private detective!

Hello We will bemarried for 2 years in June. We have been living together for the past 3 years. Now my partner has got a job offer in the other part of the country which means we have to live separately due to our jobs.

Hi I am currently on spousal visa and will be applying for my ILR next year. I have received a Fixed Penalty Charge of £60 and 3 points on my license for not stopping at traffic lights. Does this mean, I cannot apply for ILR until I spend another 5 years on my current visa? Any comments will be app...
