Hi all, My wife got ILR in 2014 and her ILR Brp will expire in March 2024. We are in a dilemma and would really appreciate your advice. The issues is she has been living abroad for 8 of past 10 years after receiving ILR. For 5 years, she was looking after her mother abroad because of her mother's h...

Hi, as been reading all the previous post I would to add that I have recently apply for a new brp rc online. As to confirm my application was free no payment require for the replacement card. I just want to share my application process to all, hope it will help. After submitting online application ...

Hijacking someones else's thread ???!!! Dude get a grip!! What am I missing here? The query I had was related to the questions raised here, so added it here. Is that against the protocol? In that case happy to start another or as you said a NEW thread. This forum used to be a valuable resource for ...

Sorry didn't understand! What do you mean by "BRP is in my possession and my responsibility to keep it In good order" ?!! It's got nothing to do with that. My query is not about a lost or stolen BRP. ILR waa granted and the BRP says so with an expiry date after 10 years written on it. Now ...

So if someone has to travel overseas, will have to do without the BRP? That seems strange and unworkable

Is there an option to pay a higher fee/ premium service to get a new BRP card quickly. ILR granted in 2013, BRP mentions Indefinite Leave To Remian with validity till 2023. May need to travel on short notice so wish to avoid waiting for weeks and weeks to receive new BRP.

Thanks !

Hello, My relatives were granted 10 year long term VISIT visas for the UK a few weeks ago. Does anyone know if there is a prescribed time limit from the date of issue within which the first entry has to be made? i.e any stipulation for the first entry within say 3 months or 6 months from the date of...

Also I seem to recall reading earlier that once naturalised, the naturalisation certificate, date, etc is what counts and the ILR is irrelevant...

Thanks

Can I put the naturalisation date in the date and then in the question on 'On what basis...' mention 'obtained ILR in 2005 via work permit and HSMP ...?' Amber or other experts please do not be annoyed. I am repeating the question in spite of a clear answer because when we applied the first time usi...

Thanks Zubair but now I am confused. I thought Amber was giving an example . In our case, should it be the date of naturalisation on my naturalisation certificate or should it be the date of ILR on my cancelled passport from my earlier nationality? I got my ILR in 2005 and then naturalised as a brit...

2. Yes, it ought to be.
3. Yes.

Thank you.

To clarify on 1. so it will be my naturalisation date as British citizen ? (this was in 2006)

1. On Page9, section 2-A of Set (M) , asks If your partner was not British from birth, when did they obtain settlement in the UK? and then Day/Month/Year On what basis did your partner obtain settlement in the UK? Clarification sought: Should the answer to the first question be the date on my natura...

Your guidance needed please....and I will rephrase the question better In section 2-A of Set (M) , page 9 asks If your partner was not British from birth, when did they obtain settlement in the UK? and then Day/Month/Year On what basis did your partner obtain settlement in the UK? As mentioned in my...

In section 2-A of Set (M) form it asks If your partner was not British from birth, when did they obtain settlement in the UK? and then On what basis did your partner obtain settlement in the UK? Should the answer to the first question be the date on naturalization certificate? For the second questio...

Thanks All. Much appreciated. One more clarification please - Wife's date of entry to UK after leave to enter/remain granted as spouse was 24th August 2014 . We /she ( I will accompany her) is/are planning to apply in person the first week of August - to be precise on the 1st or 4th of August depend...

I would request a reply /confirmation even if the question may seem daft. Situation - My wife is shortly applying for her ILR. She is currently in the UK on spouse/CP visa which she applied for as my spouse before the 9th of July 2012 from outside the UK and received leave to remain/enter for 27 mon...

Thanks all for your useful advice. Posting this reply rather late. It all worked out quite well eventually. Things did take a while and after ~50 days, it all came through. All your help much appreciated.

See Family immigration rules: who they affect Thanks. Very helpful summary. Is it fair to say then the fact the sponsor (myself) being currently unemployed currently will not negatively affect the outcome of the application for a spouse visa ? We will demonstrate adequate savings and the obvious ca...

where is your wife applying from? why do you assume that the application will be considered under the new rules when they don't come into forice until 9th July and the application is being submitted before then? Assumption was based on new rules becoming effective by the time it went for processing...

I am a British citizen. My wife is a non EEA national currently working in Eastern Europe. She has a valid multiple entry visit visa for the UK which allows her to stay for not longer than 180 days continuously. This worked fine for us so far as we spend time between both places. I have recently bec...
