You are correct. You wouldn't have BRP as UKBA only started rolling it out from 29th Feb 2012 for ILR applications. Even though your current ILR is in the form of vignette on your passport, but when you apply for it to be transferred, you will not get it on your passport this time, instead you will ...

Thanks for sharing your interview experience PG1983.

Congrats ramsilr77 and thanks for updating the forum about your case.

arifahmmed : P60 is not a requirement for Tier-1. I carried all my 5 years P60s but was never asked to provide any of those. All you need is 2 proofs of earnings from different sources (a common combination for employed people is bank statements & pay slips). Some case workers may ask for P60s ...

ILRApplication01: For your question 3: you should be fine using pay slips and bank statements. The dates on the pay slips generally don't match with bank statements and the case workers are aware of it. You need to provide 2 evidence to prove previous earnings which should be from different sources....

"Good character" only needs to be completed if the child is aged 10 or over.

However any application for a child must be supported by two referees and a recent passport-sized photograph.

There is nothing wrong with your BRP. This is the standard format for BRPs. The surname will always come first followed by first and middle names.

That's right, you will probably have to check it yourself as I know few people who turned away and were advised to apply by post or in Croydon.

That doesn't mean they (Cardiff) can't deal with self employment applications but they are generally bit reluctant with these.

Also see this.

See ILR Cardiff director of ltd company.

that's only correct in your case rentmeda. They may contact the counter signatory on a random basis.

Page 13 of the guide says: "We will check that the counter signatory is genuine. Make sure that your counter signatory knows we may contact them . In some cases, we may need proof of their identity. We may ask you to provide another application form with a different countersignatory if we are n...

Yes.

Yes you can.

When I booked they were really busy due to summer holidays and I got the appointment in 2 weeks time. Have you got your son's reregistration certificate yet ? I thought you are due to apply for your ILR first, then you will apply for your child's registration and once you have the certificate, you c...

Fast Track one-week service can be used for child's first passport. I used it for my two children in Aug this year. It's too early for you to book a Fast Track one-week service appointment as they only give it 2 weeks in advance (the person at passport office told me that during busy times, they wer...

You can even claim less points than your last application as long as you score enough points at the time of ILR.

you can ignore that, it's just a typo.

That's correct sushdmehta. Thanks for correcting it.

Days of arrival and departure don't need to be included for the purpose of ILR

hendrickache: I just read your post from last year and I am so glad to hear that you have been granted ILR.

It doesn't count as a benefit. Even if it does, you and your wife are entitled to any benefits you are entitled to.

Taking this course or any other benefit will not affect your citizenship application next year.

If all goes well and if there are no IT issues, you could be out by 12.

If you have urgent travel plans, then include him in your ILR application. If you can wait for 3-4 months, then skip your child's ILR and apply for BC directly (using form MN1).
