Hi Everyone This is a real long shot so hoping someone might be able to help me out. I am a UK citizen living in the UK with my husband who is a New Zealander, he has ILR but looking to graduate to citizenship this year. My question is this, once he has been granted citizenship, we plan to emigrate ...

Hi All About to apply for ILR using form SET(O) on Monday at Cardiff PEO. Just wondered if it is granted what you get? Will I get a new visa stuck into my passport? Does this happen there and then at the PEO? Do I get a biometric residence permit? What exactly is one of these? Do I still just show m...

Thanks both - fingers crossed

Hi Everyone Firstly a big thanks to everyone, have been filling in my SET(O) form and used this forum a lot for guidance. Just one last question! I have my appointment with Cardiff PEO on Monday morning eek! I am currently on a Tier 2 Work Permit and am sponsored by my employer (the same one I came ...

Hi Looking for some help with this one, I am in the uk on a tier 2 sponsored work permit visa which runs out in March 2014. I received a 14 day driving ban for speeding in September 2011. This was a court appearance, do I need to include this under section 7 of form SET (O)? Also I can't remember th...

Hi my husband is applying for ILR in March this year (just studying for his life in the uk test at the moment). He is going to do his at the PEO office in Cardiff. We have a letter from his employer with the SOC code and detailing that he's still doing the same job and on the same salary. They also ...

Thanks - no he's not on a dependent visa and is applying in his own right from being in the UK 5 years on an employer sponsored tier 2 visa. We will write in the supporting statement that he is married to a UK citizen and that we have been together 4 years. Should we include cohab docs? If so what t...

Great - thanks for the reply. Can you advise where he can take the 'Life in the UK ' test, how do we go about booking this? Also do you know how much it costs? Should we get this done before we make the appointment at the office?

Sorry - posted on the wrong board! Hi All Really hoping someone can help me with this... I am posting on behalf of my husband, I am a British Citizen, he is a New Zealander. He has been in the UK for almost 5 years on a Tier 2 employer sponsored visa (his visa runs out on March 14th). Since he has b...

Hi All Really hoping someone can help me with this... I am posting on behalf of my husband, I am a British Citizen, he is a New Zealander. He has been in the UK for almost 5 years on a Tier 2 employer sponsored visa (his visa runs out on March 14th). Since he has been here we have married. He has be...

Hi, I've posted a few times, I am here on a 5 year sponsored visa (it runs out March 14th 2014). Since I have been in the UK I have met and got engaged to a British Citizen, we are getting married at the end of this year. I would like to apply for ILR as even though I am happy in my current employme...

That's brilliant, thank you :) There should be no problem with my employers writing a letter, I am still doin g the same job, same job title, have had a pay increase but that shouldn't matter if the job title is still the same right? I haven't had more than 35 days out of the country in any year, I ...

Sorry forgot to say, do I need to take a test on UK life?
Lastly, I have read that you need a certain amount of money/salary to be considered. I earn around £30,000 p/a and we have some savings will that be sufficient?

Thanks

Hi, Apologies if this has already been asked but I couldn't see anything. I am not very clued up about all of this and am trying to familiarise myself with it all before I apply using SET (O) early next year. Is there anywhere where this process has been broken down and simplified for people like me...

Thank you so much Anniecc you have been really helpful. Especially as we just didn't know where to start as all of the information confused us. Just had a look at the SET(O) form - looks very complicated!!! Will familiarise myself with it so that I can begin gathering the evidence I need. Thanks again

Also do I need to take any tests like 'life in the UK' or anything?

Wow - thanks for the info. My visa runs out in march 2014 so maybe I will wait until then to apply in my own right as that will have been 5 years in the UK. The only reason we wanted to do it before is because the estate I work for have recently made people redundant. I was worried that if that happ...

Thanks for the reply! That is really helpful - do you know the name of the form? After we are married would I still have to carry on with that or could I get ILR or something else (uk passport)? We plan to go to live in nz in the next few years as we would be married before is there something we cou...

Hi All, I am a kiwi in the UK on a Tier 2 sponsored visa. I have been here nearly 4 years. Whilst I have been here I have gotten engaged to a UK citizen. We have been together 3 years and living together 2. We get married at the end of this year but I want to know if I can apply for ILR for my passp...
