Surely if you stayed out for that long, you will not been the 90day period but also the preceding 5year stay in the year.

I think you would have to start the 5year residency clock again after you return

Is this correct Senior members?

Agreed with Booboochoupi - a letter from a friend should do. All the need is evidence that there is sufficient funds and that you will not depend on public funds. Now this proof could be from anybody as long as they have the documentation to show that. So a good letter, bankstatements and payslips f...

I know lots of people who are in the same situation as you and its a difficult one. In responses 1 - Yes - I believe. If you ask for your documents to be returned before the application is decided, then surely you have withdrawn the application and would not be able to apply for PSW as the route is ...

Jambo, Thank you for your help. My understand is that in addition to the standard requirements in Q1 of the FAQs on sticky, there are specific documents HO require - shown in this link http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/britishcitizenship/applying/applicationtypes/naturalisation/supportingdocuments/ ...

Guys, We got our ILR on the 03/05/2012. So when is the earliest time we can submit the application for naturalisation. 03/05/2013? Or is it 28days earlier? Only asking because we will need 6months bank statements, instead of 3 as for the ILR. Just need to make sure everything is in place. I know its...

t-bag, Hope this is not late Current rate of Pay (as stated in the Codes of Practice – hourly rate or annual salary) - This is be your hourly rate based on your annual/52weeks/No hours work per week (e.g. 37.5h/wk) Current rate of Pay (as stated in the Codes of Practice – hourly rate or annual salar...

John,

Spoke to HMRC this morning and apparently we do not qualify. You cannot get tax credits if the combined household income is >£26000. the lady was caterogic that i could not recieve the forms and would have to pay the full costs of child care - no tax deductions.
is this correct?

John, Thanks for the reply. which details do you need to comment? Children - 1, <2yrs . applied for BC under MN1 partner & myself ILR - awaiting biometric card can we also apply for low cost housing to the council and pay the rents in full? I understand you get on some priority list and may neve...

obtained ILR last week and applied for baby BC under MN1 yesterday at NCS. Case worker did not accept the application as we had not yet received the biometric cards. Once we receive the cards we can submit it and the application will be forwarded to the UKBA. Spent some time reading the posts in thi...

Absolutely, though i realised this morning when we went to do my baby's MN1 form at the NCS, the lady checked everything but refused to recognise the letter - see needed to see the cards before she sent off the form.

still waiting for card now.

All, The forum has been very helpful and through it I prepared for the application. The details of my day below. I have provided all the details which should hopefully help. Applied using SET O Work Permit with partner, did not include baby as I am doing MN1 form 10.30 - arrival, airport type securi...

No i am applying under Work permit

Any help on the questions above please?

It is a very good thing that your employer has EVEN offered their company solicitor to help you out. But if you are not getting the service you need/require you are better off doing it yourself - book your appointment and taken your documents yourself to the PEO or even still submit your phones by p...

Gurus,

Any help? PEO on the 3rd of May and help required to complete the form

Jay, I am not too sure you will be able to argue that case....its the HO you are dealing with and also it depends on case officer to case officer. If your job SOC code does not meet the minimum requirement they will surely say NO. The UKBA use the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) who are the guys ...

lucky1234,

Thank you for your help. very useful. Hopefully, I can get some help from others in the forum.

Good luck with your application next week.

I am putting the final touches to my application file for a PEO appointment in Liverpool next month. I need some help on the SET (O) Form. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/settlement/forseto04091.pdf SECTION 5 - YOUR HOME AND YOUR FINANCES A slightly confusing new secti...

This is very useful. I would stick to the start day of the WP. The only issue is that in the last 6mths I have got my employer to submit Technical change of employment notifications twice (company name change, job title) and each time they send the HO a letter with the start date I had as a student....

absolutely! Once you both get ILR, you are no longer linked...

Selva,

I am in the same situation? I have been told in the forum to only stick to you r work permit start date.

would be interested in knowing others response

So work permit qualifying period from the 24 July 2007. Five years from this date is 24/07/2012. You can apply for ILR 28yrs to your "five years" date. that means you should be eligible to apply from the 24/07/2012 - 28days = 26th June 2012.

Yes, you can apply for yourself and husband only. After ILR, apply to register children under MN1 if they were born in the UK. Your absences in your student days do not count towards your work permit qualifying period

good luck my friend.

Smam, Thank you. My PEO is at Liverpool but i have not read many experiences from the Liverpool PEO. I will ask for two letters - normal letter with something along the lines of "Kumar has worked for company XXXX under WP Ref XXXX since 29/05/2007. ....then the standard lines from the sticky on...

PEO appointment at Liverpool booked in May 2012 and all documents ready. Should collect employment letter from HR in May. The only problem i can think of is when i started work I can completed my course and work permit had been approved. Employer asked me to start work and I rushed to start. Turns o...
