I am very nervous about doing the test because I have been practicing online using http://ilrtest.com and i have been getting 14...

Hello all! A couple of weeks ago I finally passed my Life in the United Kingdom test and I wish to share with you how to pass it first time. First of all you will require to buy the new 2013 edition handbook. You dont actually need to learn every single bit of the book( reading it once or twice if y...

Many Thanks to everyone

Yes, I'll get the evidence from company.

The second question was about how to count days when flying via UK, for example: Oslo-London-Zurich

Thanks

Hi All, I'm an engineer working in offshore on regular rotation 4 weeks OFF 4 weeks ON. My absence from UK makes more than 180 days per year, however, I've never stayed more than 45 days out of UK in one trip. Can I apply in person for ILR as a straightforward case or not? If the person traveled thr...

Hi wpilr_nov12

I have another question, looking for a right topic. I'm working on vessel as engineer( not seaman), so I spend more 180 days out of UK every year because of company business. Is my case a straight forward case? Can I use a premium service?

Thanks

Certainly, I'll explore my case as deep as I can. At least, now I have an idea where to start from. This Forum provides a lot of useful information Thanks to everyone, participating, giving advice and sharing their expierence.

Thank you.

I think we can't apply earlier, subtracting 28 days from EC. Arrival day in UK was 14/09/2008, therefore, the earliest we may apply on 19/08/2013.The visas are valid from 02/09/2008 to 02/09/2013 and we'll complete 5 years continuous leave before they expire. Please, correct me if I'm wrong. Other q...

All of us(family)have a visa valid from Sept 02, 2008 We arrived in UK in Sept 14, 2008. I calculated to apply in August 19,2013 (the 17 & 18 of August are Saturday and Sunday accordingly). The dependents' ages are: - the oldest child is 18+, will be 19 + in 2013. - the second child is 17, and w...

Hi Rollie, I'm in the same situation now as you were. We are family of 5. I'm WP holder and 4 dependents: wife + 3 children. One child is 18 already and the second child gets over 18 just a month before the end of our 5 year qualification period, which is due in Sept 2013. We have only 2 week window...
