Just reading through the answers and it cought my attention what some people wrote, why some people just feel the need to be smug to others? If people cant help they should just leave the topic alone, i would like to think the "guru" who got involved and shed some light on that, a bit of j...
My professional referee is the one who lost his passport so he wrote it was, and im still trying to find a second referee ( British who is over 25 )
I didnt think it ll be this hard
Is it worth sending the application ?
The letter they give you after your ILR is granted says nothing about your ILR or what it is, its a very bland letter just telling that you will recieve the biometric card in few days without even saying anything about the card u ll recieve thats why i think it cants be used as proof of ILR, ironica...
Still not sure if i should just go for it and apply next week right after i finish the three years residential requirement or wait later untill i can find a referee who knew me for th whole three years :-( Did anybody used a referee who didnt know them for the whole three years or a relative and got...
Does it have to be exactly three years or more, or it can be a month or two short ? Technically, it has to be three years and not a day less. However, I really don't think HO will get crazy about a month. They might just let your application lay around for a month or they may ask for a third refere...
In terms of professional qualification of the referee, if HO is not satisfied about that then they will not reject your application but will ask for further references so there is no question of application being rejected just because referees are not adequate. Having said that you still have to ma...
" Its not difficult to decide on referee's all you need is a British Citizen > 25 yrs old and a proffessional person" You make it sound so easy lol i wish it was that easy because i lived for almost a year in london then moved all the way to gloucestershire and i had no contact with anybod...
Havig been Confused big time about referees i decided i better call the nationality checking service and ask them who would be my best choice to use as referees in my application, to my surprise the lady told me that its not a big deal and that dont have to have known me for the whole three years, s...
As long as you pay with any card you are fine. They actually swipe your card, so no issues with the one written on the form. Hi guys, just wanted to update u on the outcome about his issue i had, they didnt swipe my card at Cardiff PEO, they use the information on the sheet to take the payment, luc...
thank you, the officer was very helpful because when i told him about the issue i have with the card ( i couldnt print a new payment page and write new cards info ), he gave me a new payment page and i wrote my new details on it. we lived with my in laws in till may this year then moved to our Flat,...
Since you live with your parents you will need a letter from them saying that you live with them, and take couple supporting documents like thier council tax to confirm u live at that address ( i submitted the letter from in laws plus thier house land registry documents ) The joint bank account help...
Hi everyone Thank you guys for your help and advice, this forum helped me a lot in my application, i even find better information here than what my solicitor told me lhamdollah yesterday i was granted my ILR using form SET(M) at PEO Cardiff, the process was not good at all but i was thankfull to get...
thank you for your advice, i used settlement checking service for my ILR to double check i have all documents before my PEO appointment, i asked the lady that i seen, she told me exactly the same thing u said that referees dont need to be in contact the whole three years, as long as its someone who ...
Hi guys
I have a problem finding suitable referees because in the form its says " known you personally for the three years ", what does personally mean exactly here ?
Thank you
Thank you guys for the advice, i dont have a credit card i only have a debit card and i have the appointement at Cardiff which only accepts debit or credit card payments on the day :-( i just hope they let me use my new debit card instead of the old card that i wrote its details on the payment page ...
