Thank you everyone! I will make sure that I give HMRC a call and explain to them about me moving back. I am going to keep the ILR Card as well as the letter. My understanding is that if I ever chose to come back (even after the 2 year period) as long as I can explain and prove that I intend to move ...
Hello, Thank you! I am aware that I will lose my ILR - but I do not foresee myself coming back to the UK. I am moving away to be closer to my family.

Hello all, Apologies if this post is not in the relevant area. I have received my ILR last July (Tier 1 General).

Hello Malik, Many thanks for your kind advice. I am still confused - why do I need to show funds for myself when I have already been living in the UK for over 12 months?

I was wondering if someone had any thoughts on this : I am on a Tier 1 General visa (Valid till December 2015 - I am up for ILR in July 2015). I got married to Cristina, an American citizen in April...

Hello @mightypower : Thank you. Considering that she was in the UK in the recent past and she stated that she was visiting me (her boyfriend - back then), I am concerned that they might ask her if she was planning to get married or get engaged in the UK, specially since she is planning to come here ...
Hello folks, I am an Indian national currently in the UK on a Tier 1 (General) visa. I got married in April to Cristina, an american citizen.

I promptly posted my details on Trackitt. As expected I received an acknowledgement letter on the 26...
Hello, I am applying for my Tier 1 Visa Extension (General) and seeing that postal orders are too much hassle, I have opted to pay using a Banker's Draft.
