My question is to those applicants whose payment had problems initially but then later got sorted out.

Could you all please state reason why there was problem with initial payment? This will help people like me to take extra care while submitting application to avoid any possible delays.

I'm sure, there will be many people like my case: HSMP+T1G+ILR based on University Degree thought in English & proved that for all earlier HSMP/T1G applications. Will be applying for Naturalisation after 28th Oct 2013. Since HomeOffice has released a "Statement of Intent" which doesn't...

If you were physically present (and your wife) in the UK on 15th October 2008 then you can apply on 15th October 2013 as longs as you both meet the 5 years residence requirement and thereby missing the new requirement for English test as this requirements is only effective from 28th October. If you...

Thanks Heisgood for your reply. I know about weekend processing in Croydon but regarding my case is CW will see me/my representative on satday as same day service. Have you heard about that? My solicitor called PEO regarding spelling error and they advice not worry because its just typing error. I ...

Hi All Readers/Moderators, I am planning to apply for my ILR in the first week of December 2012 following the (4yr 11m) WP + Tier 1 route. I have a question regarding my work status in the UK. There is a home office requirement for the PBS route that they need to provide the evidence for the past 1...

I have recently applied for the ILR SET (O) as a Tier 1 General migrant - the fees have been taken and I have received the acknowledgement, so now I'm just waiting and by the sounds of things for another 4 months at the very least. I had sent copies of my savings account statements as proof of main...

goes to his country & from there applies for entry clearance for his new ILR application, What is "entry clearance for ILR application"? What I mean is once his application is withdrawn he doesn't have valid leave to enter back (assuming he leaves country within 28 days of withdrawal ...

if he let's say withdraws application on 15 dec (assuming no result by then..) & goes to his country On that case what about postal delay to get back the document in hand. If (lets say) it take 5 days on that case will those 5 days consider as overstayer. yes, 5 days of overstay is ok.. anythin...

Many thanks for your reply. It is reassuring to know that 5 years residence is required and not 5 years employment. I have read posts in which applicants were asking how to complete previous employment documents to prove their continuous employment. Hence I started to have doubts. Hope that is not ...

Concerned as could less than 5 years of employment go against me when I apply for my ILR in June 2014? ILR does not need you to be in continuous employment for all 5 yrs for Tier 1 G category... If you can show you can accumulate enough points in last 12 out of 15 continuous month, then you should ...

I hope you meant to state the date of expiry of most recent leave (19-Sep), rather than the date of ILR application (24-Aug)! yeah.. sorry, I actually meant 19th Sep when visa expires.. That said, section 3C leave will end on the date the applicant withdraws a pending application, and therefore the...

As mentioned above, if you withdraw your application, your leave will be considered as expired on 24th Aug itself making you an over stayer... Then home office has strong case of rejecting ILR based your over staying according to rules in place on 1st Oct... so any further PEO application will be in...

See ILR Case but no Job now . Mant thanks. I have gone through the thread and concluded that its merely a matter of luck!! Could you not offer me a yes or no o response that i could use! He has given you a link where having no job ILR was succeeded, isn't that a kind of ans? if you want yes or no a...

cheers innocentdevil!!!

The single person discount for Council Tax isn't a Public Fund. Claiming as a single person however, when there are other occupants could well affect an ILR application. If you're entitled to claim the discount then this will have no adverse affect on your ILR application as this would be a fraudul...

I got my HSMP Entry clearance on 31 October 2007. I entered UK on 30 Dec 2007.

Congrats to you & your family Vivek, How did you pay? card? which bank issued it? any transaction limits etc?

I read posts that Council Tax Single person discount is not counted towards public fund benefits, but still I want to know if anyone who really has claimed single person discount ever in his tenure was able to get ILR?
