I am still waiting and dont know which courier will deliver it?!!


thanks
Hi jacki121,
DX is suppose to deliver your BRP, but obviously depends as and when they receive it from the Home Office. Why don't you give them a call and ask that you are expecting a BRP card from Home Office and that you don't have a reference number for them, they will ask for your name and address and check it for you, if there is any thing for you. The numbers for them are
08443710000 and 08443713335
All the best.
Kind regards
Shahjee

Hi Shahjee,


Thanks for the information,

i phoned them up and DX told me they have my BRP and arranged to be delivered on thursday!!!


thanks again.

Thanx shahgee for you kindness

Yes that is the case actually. You r right i can save money by doing that. Can u plz tell me the procedure to vey the application. As you said fill the new set (lr) and attach covering letter, do we need to mention the old ref no of flrm are they will locate that themself.And the only reason i worried is what if they send us brp invitation in first 10 days and then we ll have to do that in 14 days.And once we do brp can we very her application. Because friend of mine got decsion in 6 days after he did his brp. I mean these are the confusions. And then plus what i need to write in covering letter is there any standard letter available. Its bit tricky.Shahgee can u plz help me with this.Will be grateful.

Jazakallah

Hi everyone,

I am the silent member of this forum.#My husband has applied ILR on 10 year basis on 30th March.
Today we call home office and they said they have posted something using Royal mail.
I am wondering what it can be?
They gave us royal mail tracking number but its showing nothing.
Do you have idea how long does it take for royal mail to deliver post?

I cant wait anymore..feeling so anxious :roll:

Hi Simoz

You can call DX tracking service ask if they have anything to be delivered to you. They will only ask you post code and name. If they have something it may mean that your ID card is on the way and and your application is successful.
I hope you get a the answer you wishing for.

Hi All

Shahjee please advise, I am still waiting to hear any replies
Please, it's very urgent Shahjee

.. I am completing my 10 years for ILR on 02 Jan 2015 and can apply on 04 Dec 2014, but I have to travel urgently and can't wait that long, actually I have already completed my 10 years continuous residence now but if I apply right now then my total number of days outside of the UK are 32 days more than the limit of 540 days = 572 days outside UK.
So for this reason I am waiting till Dec then my days will be 532, but as explained above I have to travel, is there any advise/guidance any of you seniors please can give me, so that I can send my application 'Right Now as soon as possible' despite of waiting till December, my current leave to remain expires in Dec 2015
Please help me, Looking forward eagerly for responses.

Regards

Hi Everyone,

I am also one of the silent reader of this forum and want to thank everyone it was very helpful to submit my Set(LR) myself.
Today I received my documents back and I got the ILR. My timelines are:

Application send: 31/03/2014
Acknowl received: 07/04/2014
Biometric received: 09/04/2014
Biometric recorded: 12/04/2014
Approval date: 11/08/2014

Now I need to bring my husband and daughter to the UK. My husband was a student here and his visa expired last Oct so he had to leave the country with my daughter who was born here.
I am currently on maternity leave so I don't qualify the financial requirement to make FLR(M) application. What other options do I have? Please kindly advice me.

It is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Hi Simroz,
This is the time for you stay positive, now let me tell you a good news my brother is also on this forum khan_81, he also applied on the 30th March, the same day that your husband applied. The only difference is that he provided Home Office with self addressed special delivery envelope which is next day delivery. Although I should have waited for him to break the news to the forum, but as you are worried I have to let you know that by the Grace of Almighty Allah, he has received his approval today. So I would presume that as your husband also applied on the same day as his, than your husband is also a good news. So stay positive and give us the good news ... Hopefully today or tomorrow than. My prayers and best wishes with you.
Kind regards

Hi All,

My application for SET(LR) is currently with the HO.

My current visa is a Tier2 which expires 2016.

My question is , say i get a new job with another employer, will it be okay for me to resign my current job or should i wait for HO before making any move to leave my current organisation?

And if i do, will them notifing the HO of my resignation affect my visa appliaction? and would the new company have to notify the HO? How Long? what then happens if i am refused?

Thanks guys for your help.
Nikki

Congratulations shahjee on your brother ilr. enclosing special delivery envelope is really good trick as it let you track the movement and even i believe an applicant can instruct the local royal mail sorting unit about the package in advance and the applicant even pick it up from sorting unit before it attempt to deliver at home.

Hi Everyone,

I will be applying for ILR end of August 2014. But I have few questions in mind before I and hope you guys can help.

1) I have UK masters degree which I am using as proof for English language. (Do I have to reassess through NARIC as told by home office's website.)

2) I don't have any utility bills, council tax bill or employment letters. All I have is passport which shows that i've been here from last ten years. Is this going to be sufficient or I am in trouble.

3) I don't have a clue about point based calculator and how does it work.

4) The text in red color is from home office website. can you please explain it to me as it is bit confusing.


egrees taught or researched in English

You’ll need to prove your degree was both:
taught or researched in English
confirmed by UK NARIC as the equivalent of a bachelor’s, master’s or PhD degree in the UK

You’ll need to provide your original degree certificate and 1 of the following:
a printout from the points-based calculator with the equivalent level of your degree and the level of English
an original letter or certificate from UK NARIC confirming the equivalent level of your degree, plus an official letter from your university with your name and degree confirming that your degree was taught in English
an original and official certificate from your university confirming the degree was taught or researched in a majority English-speaking country (except Canada)



A quick reply from you guys will be much appreciated.

regards
