HMPO received it on Friday. Chances are it's not even been touched until today. Call them tomorrow if you're not sure. We won't be using check and send as we feel it's not necessary. Everything will be fine, try not to stress! The only thing which Post Office asked me to correct in the form was the...

Thanks for replying.

Does anyone know, in case of applications sent via NCS, do HO return the original LIUK certificate?

Hi, I sent our applications (mine and my husband's) on 19th Nov 2015 via the Check and Send service and I was told that since it is sent as "Special Delivery", the documents will be delivered the next day, i.e 20th Nov 2015. Now when I enquired at HMPO, they have no idea about our appicati...

Received two brown envelopes today... yes Approval from HO finally!! Haven't received any invitation from council though

Already reached the 6 months service deadline today. When I called Home Office, I am told that it's only today that 6 months standard has reached (applied on 5th May) and should wait for another week and then call if I don't hear anything. I just don't understand what do they mean by 6 months Servic...

Could a pending tax return filing with HRMC effect the application/decision? Any ideas?

What number did you call up on and which options did you select?

Applied on 5th May, biometrics on 5th June, heard nothing so far. Tried to find out the status via local MP this morning and I am told that our applications were being looked at yesterday and are still being looked at and there is no timeline still!! It is so frustrating, were they sleeping since Ju...

I found this on the council's website: The Home Office will normally expect you to have your ceremony within 11 weeks from the date of receiving your notification. Council Chamber (Opens in a new window) If you do not think you will be able to attend a ceremony within this period, you may apply to t...

So is that only the ceremony appointment that needs to be sorted within 21 days not the ceremony itself? How much is the maximum time allowed between the approval letter and the ceremony itself? I recall 3 months (from reading on this forum), but I suggest you do your own searches and possibly call...

Does anyone know for sure that once the approval letter arrives then is travelling allowed on the original passport? We have plan to go to India in last week of Dec and are still waiting for the approval letter. I am worried about the time required to get everything sorted (i.e. passport, and Indian...

Route: 5Year Tier1 General + 1 yr. ILR

Wondering what is happening with our case

I hope it doesn't, fingers crossed. Thanks for the help.

I am adding his name because he has been told few cases by his known people who were the same case as us and still the Dependents were granted ILR. One of his relatives has completed only 1 year 8 months on Dependent visa (his wife's visa was Work permit + Tier 1 General) and was granted ILR with hi...

Thanks for replying. I have got couple of more queries actually, your advice would be of great help. I got married in Oct 2013 and my husband joined me in UL in Nov 2013 as PBS Dependent. He was issued the PBS Dependent visa on 11th Nov 2013. Before marriage, he was in UK since Oct 2009 on Study vis...

Yes Tier 1 General for the full 5 years period

Thanks for the reply. My total number of days of absence in 5 years are 180 days. However, during my first absence of about 10 days, I was not employed as this was the break between my two employments. What do I do about that period? I am trying to get a letter from my employer for the rest of the a...

Hi,

What evidence is required to show the annual leave absence from UK? Can it be a self-signed letter stating the absence dates and reason for absence or Does it definitely need to be a letter from the the employer?

Thanks.
