Well,well. My love and hate relationship with the h.o has come to an end. I have been waiting for this moment for almost 15 years.It seems like it took 22 days to process the application. I hope all the November applications go smoothly like mine. Well not that smooth cos I sent a photo copy application form by mistake.silly me. I will keep updating the spread sheetsammy2014 wrote:Eligibility criteria: spouse of bc + 3 weeks ilr

Congrats and Many thanks Sammy for sharing your story. So, did you have to send the original of your application later on?
How did that mistake get rectified? Also, if you sent additional information / document to home office later on, could you share the address where it had to be sent?
Many thanks,
K
They gave initially me a date 21/01/2015 I was like come on so paid for a private ceremony. I don't really believe my council but hey no choice.sammy2014 wrote:sammy2014 wrote:Eligibility criteria: spouse of bc + 3 weeks ilr

Thanks Sammy for your response. So, if I understand correctly you did NOT write any letter and took the risk, which worked out in favour, which is great.sammy2014 wrote:
Thank you. The problem was that the application form was photocopy accept the page 15 where my picture glued, it was a really stupid mistake. I risked it and did nothing about it. I wrote them a letter they would get confused. I would not recommend what I have done and it was purely my choice. I don't know their address and but I guess the address in the application form should be enough.
Do you have similar situation?

Do you have similar situation?
My situation is that I mentioned (on page 15) that I am including some documents (P45) for last year 2013-14, when I was employed and getting paid by PAYE and that for this year (2014-15) I am self-employed and I can't do self-assessment as the financial year has not ended (I did provide proof of my UTR number and that I paid my Class II NIC etc.). So, I wanted to include P45 for last year, but the caseworker at NCS didn't allow me to do so, saying that they (Home Office) will have access to all this information anyway (Which is true).
Now, I have a choice to make. Either
(a) Send P45 for last year and a recent CRB done (as I am self-employed) to Home Office stating my case number etc. (which I now have as I received the acknowledgement letter)?
(b) Do nothing till asked to?
What would you suggest? My dilemma:
If I follow (a) I will be proactive and hopefully the document will reach in time before they start assessing my application and there won't be any delays, but I risk confusing them or being sent back in the queue
If I follow (b) - I will be following being safe (not to confuse them) and wait till they ask me to send these documents. Or not - assuming they get those documents anyway from HMRC considering they have my NIC number etc.
Looking forward to hearing from you and as well from others.
Thanks,
K

Unfortunately,I can't upload the spread sheet cos of extensions or it is too big so what I have done is to put in on word and email it to myself , open with my phone at that stage the phone does not show the highlights but I can try it again or send the spread sheet to you. Pm me if you like it in this wayMaxwell wrote:Great job Sammy! Thank you.
Is it possible to highlight those who were approved, like in October timeline, they highlight all approved person fields by green, so it makes it even easier to see the progress?
