Just checked out the complaints procedure from the UKBA site and was wondering whether to make a complaint by email or post.
Also wanted to know if this will be worth the time / productive or the mail just ignored?
Your input is very much appreciated.

Updates: Went with the Mrs to the port where my PassP was held by the border officials. Spoke to the security and then after a few minutes a very polite officer holding my PP and l/card came out, saw me and my Mrs and then said, She cant say why my PP was withheld as none of the staff who worked tha...

Thanks for the replies, really helpful, hope someone who experienced this or a similar case has some further advice as well, My wife is wondering if whether coming with me to report would be of any benefit, and I decided to take the email replies of UKBA from earlier correspondence and Marriage Cert...

I would again state, that the most important thing is your visa vignette. Once again, it will all in the end come down to your visa vignette. You really need to look at it. If you do not have a photocopy of your visa then it will just be a guess work. If KoL required is mentioned on the vignette, t...

If that is the case then UKBA is correct. You must have had KoL required on the visa, you haven't noticed. You had to pass KoL after arriving in UK, and then applied for ILR. You had 27 months to do that. Since KoL requirements were introduced for ILR, all the ILE's issued had this KoL required on ...

I got in nearly 3 years back in October I believe, 2010.As far as I remember the vignette read like: My name: Vaf Number: Spouse of : Date issued : Date expired : Obsrv : Indefinite Leave to enter the UK. <<BRITISH HIGH COMMISSION SEAL>> << Immigration officers stamp (first arrival with this visa on...

Well I do not have the passport with me as it is with the UKBA and it clearly does not say anything about ''KoL Required'' but I still did it and passed it end of last year as I was also told I can apply for naturalization by UKBA when I contacted them before doing my KoL.

thanks for the prompt response vinny, but I do have printouts of those as well i took to my employer, the immigration officerssimply dont understand my visa and said cant stamp as the date is expired on the visa with ILE, I wonder if I shall take the printouts when I report I havent heard of anyone ...

Hi, I hope that I have posted this in the right link. My visa is a spouse visa with Indefinite leave to enter but with an expiry date, and we have been together for 5 years and married for 3 years. So a few months back before my dates on ILE expired I contacted UKBA personally by visiting them, even...

Thanks for the advise guys, submitted documents during my appointment and I didnt submit whats not necessary like Directive mentioned. I would like to know something regarding Timatic. I submitted all the details to see if a visa is required and it comes up as : "Visa required, except for A sta...

Thank you very much for your kind response, I will then apply for single entry according to the advice. I was wondering since my ILE has an expiry date and also expired. Should I enclose the printout of UKBA page regarding ILE (ECB 9.6) and also mention it in my cover letter? Or would they know how ...

Hi all, spoke to the consulate and clarified most of the doubt, except for one regarding the planned German trip which is not confirmed, Do I Have to show proof of visiting another Schengen member state?, as I have requested for 90 days multiple entry even though I'm only staying for 10 days in Neth...

Hello there, I have been reading so much about the Schengen visa procedure for the past few weeks on he web and need to get a few questions answered. I'll try my best to keep this short as possible. Firstly I'm a spouse of a UK national and have ILE with the name of my spouse on my ILE visa and live...
