My employer notified the UKBA using the Technical Change of Employment form clarifying the same. I received an acknowledgement from UKBA within 4 weeks (original wi...

Hi I am on work permit issued in Nov-2008 working with same employer since then and would now be applying for ILR 28 days before (around 7-10th Oct-13). if I am being offered a new job say on 25-Jul-13 and my 3 months notice period ends on 25-Oct-13, which is after my ILR (hopefully).

Hi Diwakar Congratulations to start with. You have said "First entered to UK: 54 days late from the date of entry clearance " As per my knowledge, "entry clearance" means the day you entered UK and not when your visa started. As per UKBA guidance, one is expected to apply 28 days...

Hi (Sorry this question was in the wrong section before) I was issued with a 5 yrs Work Permit on 04.11.08 and I entered UK on 11.12.08. I am with the same employer since entry in the UK. Since the difference is less than 90 days, am I right in understanding that: 1) That period (between visa stampi...

You would be eligible for PR only after 5 yrs. How can you be eligible for PR in Mar-14 when your visa started in Nov-09 and you entered in Mar-10..that's not 5 yrs

I understand your dilemma now, mohit. I am facing the same scenario where if I apply 28 days before my entry clearance, my work visa would expire. (as i entered the country 35 days after visa was issued) I AM ASSUMING YOU HAVE A SINGLE 5 YRS CONTINOUS VISA (like me) I am seeking response from Modera...

I recently did appply for dependent visa for my new born (on Work Permit) on 9/11/12 using PEO @ Croydon. You have to pay first at ground floor after which you proceed for applciaiton on top floors in the UKBA building.

Hi Me too am applying for dependent visa using FLR (O) tomorrow. I am on work permit too. You are right in saying that the FLR (O) is to be completed in a way that baby herself is filling it in except for the signatures in the end. Holding this clue, the way I have completed the form is: Page 4 (pay...

Hi

I have an FLR(O) - Dependent visa appointment for my 3 month old baby tomorrow @ Croydon.
Could anybody tell me if UKBA would be doing biometrics for the 3 month old? If so then I will have to carry my baby with me.

A quick response would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Thanks a lot Sush. Is the FLR(O) form to be completed online where you complete it and then at the end of it you book an appointment (like you do for visitors visa lately) OR is it just plain simple process of booking the appointment first and meanwhile completing the pdf version of the form hand-wr...
