My sincere apologies if this is a silly question. I am applying for naturalisation along with my wife and wondering if we still need to provide evidence for the english language requirement. We both got our ILRs in August 2015 (through Tier1 General route) so, as per the "English Language Requi...

I would like to thank everyone in this forum for the great support. I have received my ILR approval letter today(had about 9 days shortfall for 5 years continuous residency) in the post along with my BRP. Here is my updated timeline...

I would like to thank everyone in this forum for the great advise. I had applied by postal application for the ILR with 9 days shortfall and received my approval letter in the post today. Thanks once again...!!

Awaiting for BRP now.

MY timeline (under Tier 2 general on a 5 year route via postal service): 19 October - sent application via post with 1 dependant (Set 0 + 1 dependant) 21 October - money debited from my account 28 October - biometrics done; letter received on the same day 13 November - passport and old BRP received...

Thanks very much CR001, I will try that service tomorrow...

For peace of mind, I would suggest applying using NCS (nationality checking service) at the council (small fee payable) as then you get to keep ALL originals. Bear in mind that the child will have to be in the UK to enroll biometrics at the Post Office when you receive the letter from HO. Thanks CR...

I got my ILR approved in August and planning to register my UK born daughter as British Citizen using MN1 form. I'm planning to send her original birth cirtificate but not sure if I still need to include her original indian passport and current BRP(Tier-1 dependant) along with the application form? ...

I'm in a similar situation but I am only falling short of 9 days for 5 years completion for ILR on Tier1 general route. After reading this thread, I'm a bit confused on the appeal rights. Just in case in an unfortunate situation, if my ILR gets rejected, will I be eligible to appeal under ILR Set-O ...

I would really appreciate comments from anyone had similar issue in the past... Thanks

Hi Not me again, Thanks for your reply.

Do you know if there is a way to phone HO and ask for the reference number? Can it be done?

Hello everyone, My current Tier-1 General visa is expiring on 25th October and I am planning to apply for my ILR via postal application on Friday, 22nd October so that the application can reach home office before my visa expires. Unfortunately, I don't have an option of going for the Premium Same da...

I am very thankful to this forum for the amazing support. I got my ILR approved yesterday at the Glasgow PSC(Premium Service Centre) previously known as PEO. My experience was very smooth and I liked the new PSC. Apparently they've changed the rules recently and now allow you to take all your belong...

Thanks navodwickra...

Thanks Chase53, I'll get them re-printed.

Yes, I am going for a premium appointment later this week.... Thanks

Hello, I am self employed through my own limited company and planning to apply for my ILR in few days time and noticed a small issue with my payslips. The payment date printed on some of my payslips is different from the actual date of my salary credit to my bank account. The amounts are clearly sho...

I'm still a bit confused whether to go for the early ILR postal application with cheque payment as suggested here. Can anyone please confirm if the case worker will count my eligibility as on the day of case review or as on my application date which is obviously short of 9 days. I red in some other ...

Early extension(9 days earlier than the last 28 days limit) was due to some family reasons, and unfortunately we got the extension from the application date, which resulted in 9 days shortfall for ILR eligibility. Anyone here had been in similar situation with a very small shortfall for ILR and mana...

When does she meet the 5 years residence on her visa? What was the start date of her visa and when did she arrive in the UK? Hi, Her visa is expiring in October this year(not November like I said in my previous reply). Please see the dates below. 1st visa granted on 01-Dec-2010 Entered UK on 27-Dec...

Her visa expires in November this year. She could apply for an extension before 6th April, but I am trying to avoid an extension to save some money if the postal application route is safe to cover the 1 week shortfall.

Thanks very much for your detailed reply. The reason why I am exploring this option is because my wife is falling short of a week(on top of the 28 days grace period) to qualify for her ILR. I've asked the question on this forum, but got mixed responses. Someone said that she defo needs another exgte...

Hello, I have been searching through various forums on this topic, but didn't find any direct answer. Hope some of the senior members here can give me their valuable suggestions. Thanks. My wife is on her own Tier1 general visa, and has been living in the UK for the past 4 years. I'm getting my ILR ...

Thanks very much for your suggestions. I will consider the above mentioned options.
