Anyone can explain the impact of Yes vote in Scottish referendum on UK citizens naturalized in Scotland before its independence? What if someone wants to retain UK citizenship rather than a Scottish one? Would it require moving to the rest of UK ASAP (leaving job, etc.). How soon and for how long? O...
I hope someone can clarify on use of solicitor or a notary to certify my passport and ILR card instead of sending the originals since I need to travel extensively while my application is considered. So far I have found that many in this forum claim it is possible, but: - The only mentioning of copie...
[quote="stokbrig"][quote="dminus"]So, in in Glasgow, they actually take your payment without looking at your documents first?[/quote] Yep![/quote] Strange. This is very different from what I hear from a solicitor who operates there. Do you know any specific examples of someone be...
It's always nice to have somebody to look at your documents and the forms, to double check that the appointment days qualifies, etc. You can ask your friends to do it, if you are lucky they know something about it and have spare hours to look at various instructions and your specific case. That is w...

[quote="T1ilr"]Thanks dminus.... My question is when does 15 month start . Is it inclusive of the month I am applying or up until the preceding month of application.[/quote] Sorry, I don’t know anything about the 15 month start, but I wanted to point out that sonub4ualt answer to your ques...

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/settlement/guidseto04091.pdf Please do not apply more than 28 days before completing the qualifying period. If you apply earlier than that, your application may be refused. If that happens, we will not refund the fee and you will have to...
But this looks like more than 180 days in a year, and I have read that they are now very strict about it. So, unless I missed something, this does not look good.
Read the following snippet from Page 11 of Guidance –ILR – calculating continuous period in the UK The period between entry clearance being issued and the applicant entering the UK may be counted toward the qualifying period, as long as it does not exceed 90 days. This can occur if the applicant is...
[quote="heexists"]I had been granted HSMP visa on September 10 2008 and first entered the UK on October 07 2008. So calculating my earliest appointment date I am getting September 09 2013. Am i correct?[/quote] No, you can apply up to 28 days before September 10 2008 according to this: htt...
Hellow, all, Just recently spoke to a solicitor and he mentioned that PEOs are no longer conducting interviews but just basically taking your documents and biometrics and inform about their decision few hours later. Which means there is no way to explain something later on if needed or to submit add...
dear dminus In my personal opinion if I would be you I would go for solicitor. I know someone good if you really want it send me email on invoicegs@gmail.com Thank you, but I was hoping you can motivate your opinion by pointing out any specific risks in my case. I understand straightforward cases a...
Greetings, everyone! My ILR interview day is approaching, so I have been a frequent visitor to this form. It has been a great source of information for me and as I see for lots of other people as well. Although my situation is relatively straightforward, I am considering at the moment using a solici...
I have no idea about the country. I am in UK right now, and I don’t think my employer will be too happy if I go abroad to wait a few months while my case is approved. That is why my original post. As far as qualifying, I do not think that should be a problem since I already had a similar visa (O1) f...
And this is exactly the part I am having troubles deciphering. It says the following: “you have not been granted leave in any other categories other than Tier 2 (General), Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer) and those listed above under the Rules in place since 28 November 2008; or • you have ever been ...
Actually, the item 118 in the referenced guidance states: “You will be awarded 10 points if you are applying for leave to remain under Tier 2 (General), ... and you meet the requirements of one of the categories listed below: ... you have ever been granted leave as a: ...
