Thanks a lot. I read that article you sent, just wanted to confirm.

Will keep you all updated on my progress. This forum has always been extremely helpful.

Thank you for your reply. Just a few details about my case. My husband applied for ILR in nov 2012 on the basis of 5 year residency ( 2 year work permit + 3 year tier 1 ). He is a British citizen now I extended my leave at in nov 2012 as a PBS dependent. So am I eligible to apply for ILR now since i...

Thank you. Could you please tell me if I am eligible to apply for ILR? I came to the UK in April 2012 on tier 1 dependent visa. So, does the 2 year rule or the 5 year rule apply to me? If 2 years, should I use SET (O) application form? since I extended my stay as a PBS dependent in Nov 2012. Really ...

I am trying to book a PEO appointment online for ILR and it is asking me to pay the feels in full.
can't we pay in person anymore? Do we have to make the payment online? do they refund the application fee if they find out later that we are not eligible ?

Thank you for taking time to reply. He applied for ilr on the basis of 5 year stay and not 10 year. I read somewhere on this forum that there is going to be a change in rule on april 6th regarding the dependent ilr applications. Do you think that applies to my application as well??

Hi I was granted my tier 1 dependent visa before july 2012. I am still on tier 1 dependent / pbs dependent visa. My husband recently applied for his british citizenship and is waiting for his citizenship ceremony. I complete 2 years stay in the UK in the first week of april. My question is which app...

My husband would be applying for his citizenship soon. I have a few questions and would really  appreciate if someone could help. 1) One of the referees is a doctor and has the same surname as my husband but is not related to him. Is that alright? 2) My husband has a uk Msc degree.. will it be enoug...

Hi
I got my tier 1 dependent visa in dec 2011, but came here to the uk in april 2012.. that is after 92 days.

Do you think it's worth trying to apply for my ILR in December itself?

Thanks in advance.

As far as I know, ilr and FLR m forms are to be sent to separate addresses.

Received the BRP card

and there is a no doctor/dentist training restriction.

congratulations

I used PBS dependent form.
Yes, my husband had his ILR when I applied for the visa and also we had received his biometric card by then.

My husband had the same problem. While booking the test , he had mistakenly put his name as surname and surname as his name. He realized only 2 days before the test. He cancelled the test ( lost the test fee ) and gave it again next week filling in the correct name and surnames. I personally don't t...

Hi. I Had taken your advise and that's why had taken flrm form with me. We insisted that we wanted to apply under flrm but caseworker said rules have changand we can't apply under that. I still wonder why they don't take flrm form in Solihull peo. Then she also told me that there won't be any work r...

I had gone with the flrm application but the caseworker asked me to fill up the pbs dependant form instead. Said rules have changed and if I applied under flrm I would have to wait for 5 years before I was granted ilr whereas if I applied under pbs dependant I would be eligible to apply for ilr in t...

Thanks a lot.

Please could you guide me if the above documents are enough or there is something else that I need to submit ?

Anyone please?

Yes, it would matter greatly as the requirements under the new rules are very different, and you would not qualify for those rules based on the list you have provided. That is why I asked; it was not intended to frustrate you. The information you get out of this community is only as good as the inf...

I am applying as a dependent of a settled person.
My husband got his ILR recently.
I got leave to remain as a dependent of tier 1 on in dec 2011 and I came to the UK in April 2012-- 92 days after my visa was granted. Would it matter?

InUkOnHsmp You're welcome. I know how stressful it can get!

Hi Priya, First of all congratulations for your successful ILR application. I have a couple of questions on your documentation, which can help me with my appointmnt which is coming up next month: 5. Employer letter ( the caseworker specifically asked for it) Can you please point us to the format yo...

The payslips were originals. So we did not have to get them attested. I don't think a employer letter is mandatory, but our caseworker wanted it.

Even I thought that employer letter was not a requirement for Tier 1 general applicants, but my husband was asked for it specifically by the caseworker. Here is the employment letter format: Dear sir/madam, Thank you for your recent enquiry regarding the above named individual. Start date of employm...

A big thank you to everyone here in this forum who helped us by answering all our questions when we needed it the most. My husband had applied for ILR. Let me put you through the process. 1. Appointment was at 12.30 pm. We reached at 11.45 and were allowed inside. 2. After the security check we were...
