Please can anyone help. I am due to apply for my ILR next week, SET(O). But have the following issues: 1. They ask for BRP Numbers, but I was issued a paper visa in my passport. Do I put the visa number or leave it blank? If you have a current grant of leave on a Biometric Residence Permit you must...

@Vinny, Thank you very much its getting clear. Had she made an application pre-July she would've benefited from the transitional provision. Any other route to cut short this 5 yrs of limbo.

I hope you got your Ack/Bio Invitation letter. Compose a letter mentioning all of you details and send it through either recorded/Special Delivery to the same dept you posted your application.

Hello experts/friends; I am applying for my ILR on 10 years basis, however I am bit confused as how to answer Q D9 in Set LR form? Since you were allowed to do full time during your holidays, which is inline with your conditions of stay then. So I'd suggest NO. - Long story short! - In 2007, I join...

Dear all I am wondering if anyone can help answer the below questions (ideally from someone who has experienced these first hand) 1: Can there be an interview? Is it even possible HO call someone to double check? Something unusual, but if UKBA decides to then it is possible. 2: Can biometrics be ta...

If not attended in person, was this your ILR granted date or the date you posted your application?

@Vinny can you explain how come the OP case is different to My Case apart from my wife being on PSW (Main) previously and now she's holding FLR(M) where as the OP's missus was Tier 1 General (Main) until May 2012 and now holding Tier1 General Dependent? Shall i imagine to add my wife's 2yrs PSW (Poi...

Standard requirements for naturalisation wrote: For example, if we receive your application on 25 March 2010, you must show that you were in the UK on 26 March 2005.

I am still failing to understand how would she qualify in Dec 2013, where she's had her first dependant/spouse visa endorsed in May 2012.

What has cohabitation got to do where one hasn't yet got a spouse visa?

Would that not be May 2012 + 2 yrs = May 2014??????????

Hello experts, I am on Tier 1 Visa (expiring May 2014). I became eligible for ILR in Feb 2013 (because I first entered UK in Feb 2008 on WP and then changed it to Tier 1) I got married and wife came to UK on her existing Tier 1 visa in Dec 2011 . She got tier 1 dependant visa in May 2012 and it is ...

No, Not that I know off... You will have to wait until you complete 12 months on ILR. unless you qualify under Para 7.5g

Referees can sign up to 6 months before the Home Office receive the application. It need not be after the applicant has signed. Please clarify where does it say that applicant needs to sign before the referee? I thought I sign the declaration the day i submit to ncs? I have just passed it today and...

I am speaking "in general" ...which could be any application in general ...it could be anything from Job Application to a School Application...I am not being specific to Naturalization. With the kind of track record UKBA has, it is always better to play safe than assumptions (that this wou...

That is a trap !! I don't see that instruction anywhere. One of my referees is the same date, and the other is after. Should be OK then. This is Cognitive Science, depends from person to person. Though there is no written requirement for such a thing. But to be on a safer side it is advisable to ge...

Hi All I have NCS appointment next week for naturalization. Two referees already signed for me last week, where I attached bit older photograph. I have seen on forum that photograph must be within last six months. In this case, what I need to do ? Can I take new photograph now and send the form ? C...

MN1 Fee. You'd need 2 pictures (For Passport) and only one for Naturalisation attested by the referee. Remember it has to be confirmed and signed by the referee (Not just Signed).

Use this Application form and read through Further info.... Although this is from CGI Birmingham, you might need to speak to the CGI Edinburgh to see if they have this service available.
