Hi there I am reading these timescales for the first time now, and I'm very much surprised to see people had to to wait approx 7-8 months for the result of their ILR application. I was under the impression that it will take max 3 months (as it took 3 months for my Tier 1 General extension in 2012 - ...

Thanks mani

big relief...!!

so we dont need to prove the maintenance funds of £900 for main applicant and £600 for dependents in applying for ILR, as we did at the time of extension ? is it confirmed?

Thanks AMber

Hi there I was fined with bus lane driving last October which I dint't paid bcz of change of address took longer time and I didn't received the letter, and council kept chasing me on the old address. When the address change was done I got another bus lane penalty which came at my new adress and I pa...

I don't think they post anything regarding test. Correct me if i'm wrong.

Don't they handover the result card and pass certificate in the TEST centre just after the test?

Thanks Vinny

seniors....any comments on what dubeyv has said?

Hi friends I have a query about my wife's eligibilty for ILR. I got Tier-1(General Migrant) visa on May 2009 (extended in 2012 till 28 June 2014), and my wife got her Tier 1 dependent visa on November 2009 and she came to UK on December 2009.

Hi forum I need to ask about ESOL requirement which is mandatory from October 2013. For this ESOL exam do we have to study at some institution or it can be studied alone, just as we study Life in the UK book and give exam, similarly, can we study any ESOL book and give the exam? Also, I am not under...

I noticed one thing....

the BRP for me and my wife says WORK RESTRICTED
but my 16 months old son's BRP says WORK PERMITTED....

is it normal ? whats the difference....

As long as they contain necessary data like your name, account number, address, bank name + logo, branch name and address and date, and if they are stamped and signed by bank staff, they are acceptable.

I did the same with NatWest., and I got my extension approved with them. So, no probs.

HI there Is there anyone who gave biometric in Last week of May and still waiting for the docs+BRP to come? I gave my biometric (along with 2 dependents) on 29th May but still haven't heard anything? I have seen post from people in this forum who gave their biometric even on 6th June got their docs ...

Looks like they might arrive by the end of next week (fingers crossed), because after that it might get delayed due to long bank holiday coming.

Has anyone applied in April got their biometric invitation letter? Applicants who applied in April got their fee deducted almost after a month, so just wondering if there is any lucky one, who applied in early April and got their biometric letter?

Does it have to be a picture ID or any address proof will work? like phone bill, NHS card?

Hello there I have got 2 questions. 1) Does the BRP for dependent comes separately? I mean in separate envelope? 2) Does the dependent or main applicant has to show his/her address proof/ID proof to DX secure guys to receive BRP envelopes? If yes, what a person can show if the only picture ID is pas...

You'll get yours soon inshaAllah....don't worry!

Dear All Has anyone applied on 4th April 2012, and still waiting for acknoledgement letter. I am just worried as I have applied on 04th April with postal order as payment method and still haven't received the acknowledgement letter yet? Regards, Sunny KK I applied on 4th April as well....didnt hear...

Thanks all. Went into another branch this morning. This time they wouldn't stamp any statements but they did print all my transactions from 12 Jan 2012 until 11 April 2012 (exactly 90 days) on paper that has their name and logo. Is this considered to be on bank's stationary? There is no clear date ...

Thanks Manka10, Just to make sure: I will have to add their names in my extension application as dependent but need not to apply for their visa and No need to pay for their Extension fee? If you are not appliying for their visa at the same time as yours, then don't put their names in application fo...

I didn't understand one thing, like If you are doing good job outside UK and you are happy to live elsewhere, why did you chose to get Migrant visa for UK? Again you just want to come to UK to extend your visa and go back? I'm not sure whether should cause any problems but for ILR, i think there is ...

I was in the same situation, as NatWest guys just gave me printed out statement, it was on plain A4 paper, but had all the details like bank name logo, account number, full name and address. Their city centre branch refused to stamp it, but next day I went to other branch in Heald Green, and they ha...
