Hi

Im applying FLR-M for my wife, so in regards to financial requirement my salary is enough to cover the financial requirement, however my wife works part time as well(but doesn't cover financial requirment), so do I need to show her salary on the form as well or my salary would be sufice?

Secondly in regards to 6 (for me and my wife)correspondence address to cover 2 years. Do we need to show 1 item which covers whole two year period for e.g. bank statement of whole 2 years? Also during two years (from today) me and my lived on two addresses; such as 5 months on current address and 19 months on the old address, so do we submit 3 proof of address from each address in total 6(for each of us) or i need to show 6 proof of address on each addresses we lived on?

Appreciate quick reply

Hi All,

I have received biometric card on Tuesday for my ILR.

I was going through BRP card and I found the Valid until date (Expiry date) was 5 month short of 10 years. I have raised this issue with BRP error Team. I got reply from them that they are looking into this and investigating this.

Then after I spoke to home office and learnt that the expiry date on card is expiry date of card not ILR. and I emailed BRP error team to stop further investigation.

Do I have to worry here. do they cancel my existing BRP card.

Waiting for your reply Please

Thanks

Hi, I received approve after 5 months.
I was student+PSW+EEA2.
I have been requested to send my parter documents.
My question: do I need to apply to Schengen Visa when travel with my EEA partner while I got ILR?
Before I have EEA2, I do not need.
And what kind passport or Visa shall I get for my baby. It seems we have 3 options: British passport or My country passport + PR or her father EEA passport+ EEA2 or EEA PR? Which way is better?
Could someone help?

You get a token when you submit the documents, the lady asked when was my photo taken and I replied yesterday (it is recommended to take recently taken photos only ) The token number comes up on a blue and white screen for bio metric where the signature and BRP details are verified , after this the case is passed on to the case worker, At 12:30 I was called over and informed my ILR has been granted and my documents were returned , the lady asked me to check the details that would go in the bio metric card which would be posted to me within 10 working days.
A letter explaining all this was give and I was out the door before even start time of my appointment.

Can anyone help me on the below?

Hi everyone,

I have followed this board for a while and appreciate all the knowledge that is shared.

My situation:

Arrived UK 29-09-05.

4 years on Tier 4, followed by 2 years on Tier 2 (general), followed by 3 years on Tier 4 again, followed by Tier 2 (general) I currently hold.

Meet all requirements for 10-year ILR (schedule of absences < 540 days, no convictions, no breaks in leave etc.) therefore eligible to apply for 10-year ILR on 01-09-15 (Home Office accepts applications 28 days early).

Have recently learned I am being made redundant by my Tier 2 employer effective 29-05-15. Therefore leave will be curtailed to 28-07-15 (termination date + 60 days), or, as I understand happens in practice, a extra week or so to account for the time it takes my employer to notify the Home Office and the Home Office to curtail my leave.

Therefore, I will probably have my leave to remain curtailed to a date sometime in early-mid August, which is a matter of weeks before I am eligible to apply for 10-year ILR.

There seems to be a 28-day 'grace' period that happens immediately after a leave curtailment date passes, whereby the Home Office can accept visa applications, and if said applications are successful do not count this as "breaking" ILR eligibility. My question is this: Were I not able to find another Tier 2 job in time, and were I to overstay beyond my likely early-mid August leave curtailment date and then submit my 10-year ILR application on 01-09-15, would that application be automatically refused, or would it stand a chance of being accepted (being within the 28-day grace period) if I otherwise met every possible requirement?

Thanks for reading. In a pretty tough situation here so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Best Wishes,
TW

Hi all,
I have got a similar problem. I have in this country for 9 years and 7 months till date. I will complete my 10 yrs on 16th of September. Meet all requirements for 10-year ILR (schedule of absences < 540 days, no convictions, no breaks in leave etc.) therefore eligible to apply for 10-year ILR on 15-08-15 (Home Office accepts applications 28 days early). I am on tier 2 visa till June 2016 an my sponsors license has been revoked last month and I am still waiting for the curtailment letter. I have got few queries:
1) Can I apply for ILR 2 months in advance and what might be the consequences?
2) If I apply for the for ILR before my 60 days curtailment is up and my application is still with Home office can I continue to work?
3) Can my wife (on Tier 2 dependent Visa) continue to work during the ILR application processing period?

I will be really grateful if anyone helps me in this situation.

Kind regards,

JD

After the long wait!! Party tonight is it?

After a whole week of waiting at least someone's had a reply!
Seems they have been slow lately!!

[sud315]

those of you who have received the decision recently,
can you please inform what comes first and in what order?
Do we get a letter informing of the outcome first (is that the decision date on timeline?)?
Then the documents returned in special delivery envelope?
Then the biometric last which also needs to be signed for I believe?

Thanks in advance. (I'm not going to be home for a week, so wonder what to expect in my absence!)

Hi Since,
Thanks for this info.
So do people receive the biometric few months short of 10 years then?

Could you try and phone them up perhaps?
Or I'm sure they will reply soon to your email

Then the documents returned in special delivery envelope?

Decision and Documents come together in one envelop. Not signed for 2nd class. In time line u need to give decision date (should be on approval letter). and the date u receive it.

Then the biometric card which needs to be signed for I believe?

Then BRP delivered by courier company called DX need signature

Thanks in advance. (I'm not going to be home for a week, so wonder what to expect in my absence!)

[hapoo]

Hi,
letter will come first followed by BRP. I included special delivery envelope so they return my documents in that.

yes the decision and documents come together.

i think BRP card will be deliver by DX courier.

thanks
