Hi all I'd like to find out if I can apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK. I am Australian, and have been living in the UK since April 2003. I've been told two differing stories with regards to obtaining ILR. I have spent my first two years on an Australian WHM visa (allowing me to work th...

HI guys,

Just wondering if you could point me towards the FRL Tier 1 extension form(s) and guideline notes.

I'm planning to apply much earlier that the one month before expiry due to investing into UK property - I hope they don't mind!!

Cheers

Matt

Hi guys and girls! I have been on the HSMP since April 2005 (received 1yr and then a 3yr extension). Prior to that, I came over to the UK on an Australian Working Holiday Visa for 2 years. Currently my HSMP visa expires April 2009. I am actively seeking to purchase a UK property with my savings, and...

Hi all,

I have just received my passport back with my one year residence permit! YAY!

Question: Assuming I get the 3 year extension next year, how long can I spend outside the UK travelling over the next four years before I apply for ILR.

Thanks to you all for all your help!

Passports were returned via 'normal mail' on 16th April. Application approved! YAY! Strange why the passports were not sent via registered mail. I know I should have sent a Special Delivery envelope but forgot! Never mind got the residence permit now and also for my partner so all smiles here!! :lol...

Hi richsam

I sent 12 months of bank statements and 12 months of payslips to show regular income. I submitted my FLR IED on the 30th March 2005 and am still waiting for the passports to be returned.

Good luck.

Matt

Post your application to Doncaster. The fee will be processed here and then they will pass your application onto Sheffield for a caseworker to approve your application. Best of luck.

Quick question guys. I sent my FLR (IED) form off last week. The day after it was received my credit card was debited by £121.00. No worries. However today I notice that the credit card was once again debited by £121.00 yesterday. My application is for myself and one dependant. My understanding was ...
