so you mean if we don't bring the copies of any doc they will keep the originals? Don't they copy themselves?

congratz ishchopra

did you take photocopies of all supporting docs with you too?

did anyone asked you about that?

Also, how many days before 5 years you applied?

can we apply exactly before 28 days?

Also, my initial Tier 1 was stamped on 20 May 2009, so when I'll become eligible for ILR? will it be 22nd April or 23rd April?

the calculation includes the end dates or not?

Hi fna81 you worked overseas only during the time you were not in UK? Like some ppl do remote work as well, and have regular overseas earning? That UBKA statement, in my opinion, is based on the fact if someone is absent from UK solely for the employment purposes and his main income is generated by ...

write back to them and explain this
add any proof as well if possible to support you

Hi there I went back home when I was with my previous employer and the absence was about 35 days in total back in 2009. I have left that company 3 years ago. Now I'm chasing my previous employer for the letter but what if I couldn't get it? If I couldn't get the letter then can I just write a self e...

could you just confirm we only have to get 75 points for ILR right? Also what was the awarding body of your spouse English exam?

No its optional

Good to attach it, but not mandatory

congratz

I think photocopies are optional isn't it?? Better to take them with you but not a must, am I right??

just get a letter from your employer saying you took paternity leave from this date to that date.

Many congratulations, I have a query, if anyone shed some light on it please. I am applying for ILR next month May 2014. I am main applicant (2 dependents, my wife + daughter). My wife and me married in Dec 2009 and staying in the UK ever since, together, she went to India in Sept 2012 and came bac...

I think these are enough
do we need to take the copies of everything? it is mandatory?

Do we have to provide Employer letter regarding absence even if the absence is less than 180 days?

anyone?

count from 1st April 2009, as you entered within 90 days

Hi All I had an issue when I didn't received a bus lane fine because of wrong address, and they kept chasing me at the wrong address. Then I came to know about this after 7-8 months and I paid the full amount to the debt collectors and they confirmed they got no outstanding money left. Then I called...

@neesh If you arrive within 90 days of your initial grant, then your 5 year counter starts from the initial date of stamping. So, you can apply for ILR based on 4 years 11 months from that date, and I believe the same duration will be mentioned in the app form, for the question 'how long you have li...

Hi landcruiser94 You'll count the time from when you were first granted Tier 1 in 2009 (if that was in-country switching), or the date you first landed as Tier 1 holder if you arrive after 90 days, after your initial grant. Also, for the question about how long you have lived in the UK, it will be t...

Thanks

the calculation I have provided are according to the same fee structure for 1 main + 1 dependent (in person)

How did you calculate the fees as 3234? can you do the breakup? The fee currently (after 6th April) for one main + one dependent is 2986 (which is 1093 main, 1093 dep, plus extra 400 each, so 1093+1093+400+400=2986). the same day fee offset was standard fee + 375, now after 6th April its standard + ...

the new SET(O) form has got layout issues and also overlapping text issues. Also the boxes are not aligned with the text properly. People who have paid the old fees while booking the appointment need not to pay any remainder of the fee, as this was confirmed by the UKVI staff on my call. For the pay...

Hi all Just wondering if anyone got ILR with OfQual monitored qualification? Most people seems to have done the qualifications which are on the Home office approved list. SO, just wanted to ask anyone who has done a qualification which is not in the Home office list but monitored and registered by O...

thanks

I have taken out the print of payment summary PDF and appointment confirmation email.
Anything else needed to show proof of appointment?

congratz shahjee11 I have also booked an appointment at Liverpool, as this is my first time for PEO, there is one thing which is confusing me in the payment summary PDF. it asked 2 things - which form are you using to make application - I replied SET(O), then it asked which category are you applying...
