Do your research carefully and thoroughly. The child has a living parent and likely extended family in her home country. UKVI will ask, "why you". It is virtually impossible to bring a child who is family that has been adopted as this is seen as "gifting". There have been many t...

Hello, I hope you're all fine. I've been looking for the best way to bring my 10 years old niece to the UK. I'm currently looking after her as her mother has passed and her dad is old and inactive. I thought it would be better to bring her here. I've been in UK for the past 22 years with good job a...

Final update on this one...

Just an update in case someone is going through the same situation... The situation is: 2 Dependants of BC (through 10-yr LR): Partner 18-yrs old adult dependant in full-time University course The timeline is: Nov 2014 : Granted 2.5 yrs Leave to Remain under Appedix FM. Apr 2017 : Applied for extens...

I've not received any reply from the Gurus on this post.... As an update, we have sent the SET(LR) applications anyway, given that the other FLR (FP) application has not yet been decided since Apr 2017 and the 10 years lawful continuous residence have now been completed. I relied on Page 17 of the f...

Hello, Is there a mechanism in the Rules which allow to vary pending application from FLR(FP) to SET(LR)? If yes, is it a case of withdrawing the current FLR(FP) application and sending an SET(LR)? Will Section 3C be valid and accounted for in that case? My dependants have fallen off the PBS-Dependa...

Also, as advised on this forum I initially planned to extend my Wife and son's "Appendix FM" extension for another 2.5yrs in May 2017 and then apply for the ILR in Sept 2017. Is there another and/or shorter way for them to become BC? Given that they've been here for more than 9 years and ...

Fee Status – What has changed?

Thanks Vinny,

I'll make great use of the info on those links...
As always, thanks a lot for the priceless assistance..

Regards,

Following Tigere that approach to your child is clearly unlawful. To my knowledge, it appears that policy changes have been brought about as a result of the judgement. Hello, Thanks Obie. I'll write a letter to the University now, attaching the policy ruling and will request a re-assessment of his ...

Unfortunately, normal . Thanks a lot Vinny for all your valuable and prompts advices. I was a bit confused about Universities treating this kind of situation differently. I browsed the UKCISA website that you just sent (http://www.ukcisa.org.uk/Information--Advice/Fees-and-Money/England-fee-status)...

Hello, I came to the UK as a student in Sept 2002 and obtained BC based on Long Residence in May 2016 after Tier 1 (PSW) + Tier 1 (G) + 10yr ILR. My 8 yrs old UK-born child is also a BC. My wife and 17yrs old joined me in Oct 2007. They currently got 2.5yrs extension under "Appendix FM" wh...

Just to inform that, in addition to the Tax situation explained above, my local council mistakenly referred me to a Magistrate Court and obtained a Liability Order against me in March 2016 for non-payment of Council Tax. The Council argument was that the payment details information I sent went to th...

You don't need to write to H.O if your employment was changed during your application. Under PAYE system employers pay tax and NI every month to HMRC and HO can see when you started your new job. Secondly, Loss in Jan/Feb has nothing to do with your last year i.e 2014-2015. You earned profit in 201...

Hello, I was running a limited company as a Director and therefore continue to file self-assessment every year. I'm now employed by a large organisation and moved to the PAYE and NIC scheme of that organisation. I filed for the latest Self-Assessment(SA) in Jan 2016 and found that I have Tax outstan...

By applying for ILR based on long residence, you have complicated things for your dependents and your dependents cannot use the time as PBS Dependent or apply for ILR under any '2 year partner route'. The two year route does not apply in their case due to their switch to family of settled person vi...

On what basis did you obtain ILR? 10-Year Long Residence. I actually applied for Tier1(G) extension to enable my familly to qualify for ILR quicker. However, when the HO were unecessarily complicating things (post-decision evidence :shock: :? !!!), I just requested the variation into 10-Year Long R...

Hello, I've just painstakingly received my ILR based on 10-Years Long Residence, thanks to vinny and others on this forum. I was previously on the PBS Tier 1 (PSW + G) since Aug 2008.
