I think you are getting confused as the Home Office now issues spousal visas for 27 months. As Lesley15 has said you apply for your ILR 28 days before the end of the 2 year period from date of entry into the UK which she correctly stated is the 8 november 2010 But I am sure that I can apply in Jan ...

If he wants to do his military service and keep his Korean nationality, then he should do it and risk losing ILR. When he comes back after two years, as long as he can prove that he is coming back to settle in the UK or he has strong family ties here, there is a chance he can be granted a visa as a ...

Your plan will be very expensive, but it is a solid backup. Best/cheapest scenario: Your husband gets another job soon and you both get ILR in July 2010. But if you go the Tier 1 route: You get Tier 1. Husband gets new job and ILR in July. You can switch to spouse visa from Tier 1 while in UK this y...

I am currently on Spouse Visa under UK rules and regulations. While on spouse visa - if you get separated from your wife, she can inform the UKBA of withdrawal of support. Even if she doesn't - after the two years, you can't go on to the next stage of settlement under this route. While on Probation...

[quote="ilrwanted"]so does it mean that the Citizenship laws ( aplicable to the JR HSMP applicant ) cannot be changed retrospectively to our disadvantege ) i m under constant fear that the new conservative govt will change them before I finish my 12 months under the ILR http://www.ukba.hom...

You should email the caseworker who handled your SAR. Could be just an oversight on their part. Write your SAR Ref. number in the subject line. Ask for the missing files. firstname.lastname@ukba.gsi.gov.uk Mine came in two sets - first set was like what you described (very interesting to get casewor...

If you have lived together for 24 months with documents to prove it, she could go onto an unmarried partner's visa. http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/howtoapply/infs/inf4husbandswivespartners#Q6 Another alternative - She could also go back to Belarus and apply for a fiancee visa to marry you here in the ...

yes, you can use both referees. leave the passport number blank for the architect.

and yes you can apply for citizenship now as the spouse of a British national with 3 years' residence in the UK.

good luck.

Great idea and I support it. I can recommend the Cambridgeshire County Council. Group ceremonies are in Cambridge on Tuesday afternoons (2pm start). They get fully booked a month in advance. According to their website, private ceremonies are £100 to £160. I phoned on 11 Jan this year. They answere...

That is a disgrace. I got through on my first call (Cambridge) and ceremony date was booked in 2 minutes. I even got an email confirmation. Maybe you should have the ceremony in another council.

That case is different from yours. Poster's wife had a dependent visa (though for less than 2 years). Poster and wife applied to get ILR together. They would have used Set(O) because poster had Tier 1. In your case, you want to know if your husband can get ILR based on marriage to a British citizen ...

agree with above post. it all looks good and you qualify for ILR.

thanks for the very helpful post. first point about the date isn't just westminster. NCS in Cambridge held my application for 2 days before sending it out too. I had my appointment on 30 Nov 2009 (I completed five years on 1 Dec), they held on to the application and posted it on 2 Dec (because they ...

On the citizenship application form they ask for the date you were given your ILR. Do you put the date on the ILR in your passport, or the one on the letter showing the backdated date?

Thanks guys

the backdated date on the letter

I would declare it if I were you. Explain that it was not your car and you didn't know tax was unpaid. It does sound lame, but it is the truth and they may sympathise. If not, they will reject it and you wait five years. This is the worst that can happen if you disclose the information. If you hide ...

1. Get a police report of the lost passport. 2. Inform your embassy and get a new passport from them. 3. Inform UKBA and ask how to get a new ILR stamp. Take it easy, yours is not the first lost passport and these can be replaced. But do the above ASAP, especially informing your embassy and UKBA, be...

There are gaps between your visas (30 days in Aug 2005 and 27 days in Sept 2007). Were you in the UK during these gaps? Was there an application with UKBA for FLR during these gaps? Were you employed in the UK during these gaps? If the answer is "no" to any of those questions, you may have...

form and instructions for transfer of visa stamp to new passport: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/while-in-uk/transfer-visa-to-passport/ NTL form says it costs £578 to do it in person at one of the PEOs. it is a lot of money but i can understand a company wanting to see this for a new employee, t...

You cannot appeal the ILR refusal without any papers from your ex-husband. I agree the best thing to do is get a spouse visa (with your current husband). From my friends' experiences, it takes a while for the British consulates to process spouse visas (>1 month), interviews are required. I don't kno...

hi .. it not liek that mate, i just came acoss to this forum website, dnt want to trouble anyone, may be its just that i m too stressed. do applogoes for that. No point being stressed this early before Nov 2011. I think you have enough time to read this forum and search the UKBA website. I already ...

dear GETMEIN Thanxs very much for your reply buddy, appreciate it. i did try looking at the forum but cudnt find anything matching my situation. Another question, what documents do i need to submit and the how much funds do i need to show? thanxs no funds requirement have a look at this page- http:...

Nope, all that should be fine. If you have all P60s and employer letters, you don't need all the previous years' payslips. Just the ones from the last 12 months.

Good luck.

get payslips and letters from both employers.

employment gap doesn't matter. but how are your absences from the UK (trips abroad)? should be under 180 days total (and no single stretch over 90 days) over 4 years. unless they were business trips.

hi i received my and my dependents passports with ilr stamp on it.rest evrything is ok but one of my kid;s surname is wrong its one letter mistake . what shall i do now? any suggestions will be appreciated. thanks in advance Contact your caseworker and ask for a new sticker. They should stamp that ...

1.1 put the HO reference number. It should be on the letter they sent her when she got ILR (upper right hand side and beside "Our Ref"). 2.1 yes 3.5 take a look at her p60. On my application, I wrote what was under "Inland Revenue Office Name" fee will be different after the 6th ...
