Right, one last question..
Does someone who has NTL need to apply for NTL every time their passports expires?
Danke

The 'No Time Limit' stamp,I know about the visa transfer to new passport bit, but what does it mean when someone actually has it in their passport?
I feel like a complete numbskull, please bare with me

Great thank you for that

Hello there, need a bit of help for my dear friend. can someone tell me what's the difference between ILE and ILR please? My friend has ILE and she has a 'valid until' date on her visa page. Does this mean she has to apply for ILR when she gets to uk?

Just an update, my visa status changed this morning to 'with courier attempting delivery' .... big thanks to those answered my questions! Good luck to all still waiting for their visa!

Not this wife!

It will be exactly 60 days for me on Monday. I've tried asking about it with my VAC but nothing relevant was replied..nothing at all. I had no idea it would be such a long wait So hang in there, you're not alone! Hope you hear soon, all the best

Your husband was given a tracking number, its the only way to find out I'm afraid. Plus ukba Jamaica timeline for processing settlement visas is 60 working days. So about a month's wait or so depending on application date, left for him...hopefully! Good luck!

So there's no point doing the current LIUK test , I was thinking of doing it as soon as possible like this year, I gather it doesn't have an expiry date

I applied before 9 July this year. Does that mean I don't have to do the new life in the uk test and English requirement at B1 level when I apply for ilr that should come in force October 2013?

Check your email inbox for flight confirmations..if you booked your flights online that is

I applied in June the new rules seems a bit mean really, why test the genuineness of a marriage involving children for another 5 years!? What more proof do they want

That was our only option according to his company,they even made the payment.

So that's why they give 27 months probationary period. OK thanks for the info

Spouse visa, thanks
