Dear community, Perhaps it is answered somewhere just can't find it. I have two simple queries 1) My family will receive BC certificate next week, but I won't be able to travel to London VFS to surrender their India PP until Mid - January 2017. Query is - if one does not travel on Indian passport, w...
Experts, I got naturalised last week, and applied for passport yesterday , thus sending my original BC certificate with application. Unfortunately I totally missed that I have an appointment with NCS on 22nd August to submit AN and MN1 for my spouse & children. My wife meets both 3 year (married...
Dear experts, I was granted BC earlier in this month (july 2016). Planning to submit BC application for my wife in August - who will complete 1 year post ILR then. I have a question regarding Residence Requirement, section 2 of AN. It says if you are married to a BC , give details of last 3 years on...
Eligibility criteria: ILR (+ 5yrs) Language criteria met: LIUK & ILR done after October 2013 Method of application: NCS Ipswich Date of application: 5th April 2016 Payment method: Credit Card Date of receipt by UKBA: 29th April 2016 Date of acknowledgement letter: 5th May 2016 Date money gone of...
Josh- sorry for delay in responding wasn't checking actively. I think there are two key points you are seeking clarity 1) Has your visa continuity broken ? My view is not because you applied within 28 days before expiry of your work permit. So technically you will not be affected by rules that came ...
Hi Amber. Thanks, I scoured previous topics and used Set (O) for dispatch today. Thanks used copies only. Posting in this week saved me £ 1221, hopefully it will all be okay.
Hi Friends, I was granted ILR on basis of Tier2 migrant (Gen T2 + ICT Tier 2 + Workpermit holder) on 16.Mar.2015. My case was a bit complex so I did not apply in SET(O) for ILR of my dependents when I applied for my ILR. Here is immigration history of my wife 1) Dependent Visa from Nov.2008 to May.2...
@tan777 For eligibility to ILR both requirements, continuity and absences, have to be satisfied. Re. your 1 year absence July 09 - July 10 it is unclear what it was for. First you mentioned "offshoring drive" which would imply that you continued working for your sponsor outside the UK, bu...

Manci Thanks for your reply. Re last comment, yes I pursued this, for some reason their eventual understanding was still that one year gap did reset my continuous lawful stay period in the UK and 2010 would be perceived as entry clearance, though they do not ignore that visa continuity had not been...

Manci Many thanks. Just to be perfectly clear I assume you refer to change in bold that relaxed somewhat stringent nature of earlier ruling for ICT t2 holders. "(iv) except where (b) applies, the difference between the continuous period of leave that the applicant has already been granted (notw...
Manci Many thanks for your response, so even though I shifted to T2 G in 2014 from my erstwhile ICT T2 LT staff, you think 6 yr counter will start from 2014 ie. point of my T2 G start and not actually that of ICT in 2010. If you don't mind could you kindly throw some light why is that the case , All...
Hi Manci, Looking forward for your kind help here again. This is re your post "Apr 14 Change in Rules - Switching from T2 ICT to T2G", which I read in full detail. Just to summarise my case so that you don't have to go through above again, June2006-May2008(WP issued in India) June2008-30Ma...
Manci, I am further confused as my company solicitor takes a view that given my total period outside the Uk was greater than 180 days between July 2009 and July 2010, they have a view I cannot use my leave in prior ICT2 as continuity was broken due to the last part of below clause in p27 'applicant ...
Manci Thanks. It is July 2010 I re-entered the UK, so do you reckon 6th April 2010 rule won't affect me because my previous visa continuity wasn't broken , even though I was out of the UK for 1 yrs previous to July 2010. I ask this because you state Jan 2010 and Jan 2015 in your second comment, so a...
Manci Thanks. Here it is June2006-May2008(WP issued in India) June2008-30May2010(Ext inside UK) **with above ,spent 3 continuous yrs in UK July2009-July2010(Absence from UK) July2010-June2012-Tier2 ICT Established Staff June2012-Jan2014-Tier2 ICT Long term staff Jan2014-till date(General Tier 2 work...
