Compassionate Leave Query for ILR application

[lancsmedic]

You can choose to do so

Dear friends, my biometrics appointment is scheduled for tomorrow 11th October 2021 (monday) at 12 PM.
My last questions before biometrics is:

1. Should I submit the email from the local police in 2019 that I could not get a foreign nationals registration appointment because of staff shortages and I subsequently updated my latest address in my police certificate in January 2020 (moved into my home in September 2019).

2. I paid GBP 500 for a 5 day processing service. Does processing time start immediately after submission of biometrics or from the next working day?

Thanks again to everyone in advance.

1. Not important
2. From the time you attend the biometrics

Thanks again Zimba!

I attended biometrics today 11th October and all information and documents were forwarded to UKVI at 12:30 pm as per the UKVCAS email.

As I paid GBP 500 for a 5 day service, would the deadline for a UKVI decision for my ILR be the close of business on Friday 15th October 2021?

I know paying the priority fee is no guarantee for a decision made within the timeframe.

Thanks again.

Dear friends, thanks to everyone for their support and guidance. A very big and special thanks to Zimba and CR001. I received the Home Office approval email for my ILR application today at 10:52 AM. My application was approved in 2.5 days for a 5 day service.

For the information of all members I will post a timeline and documents list for my ILR application.

My latest question is: After receiving my new ILR BRP is there any requirement to contact the Home Office team for "change of circumstances" after ILR approval?

Thanks again.

Thanks AmazonianX
I worry of making immigration blunders because of the myriad and subjective rules of the hostile environment policy. I have paid income tax and national insurance from my first paycheck. But as a foreigner I suffered financial hardship because of the sky high visa fees and NHS health surcharge until last year. All of foreign doctor friends feel the same way as me.

Thanks Zimba!

I have not received any information for my ILR BRP card as of yet.

Can I ask what would be the date I became settled in UK to enter in my UK born child's citizenship application?

Would my settlement date be the date of the Home Office approval email dated 13th October 2021?
Or would the ILR BRP mention the settlement start date different from the Home office email date?

The right to work website check for my last Tier 2 BRP card gives the following information:

You can work in the UK.

There is no limit on how long you can stay in the UK.
Thanks again.

The date of approval is the date that matters. The dates on your BRP are irrelevant

Thanks again Zimba! This is really good news.

Can I use a printed copy of the Home Office ILR approval email as evidence of my settlement in UK for my child's citizenship application without a physical letter from the Home Office or the BRP (yet to arrive)

Can I contact the UKVI for a physical letter stating the date of my ILR approval is 13th October 2021?

Thanks again to all friends for making this forum a life saver in every sense.

You require the brp card for a childs MN1 Application.

You require the brp card for a childs MN1 Application.

Thanks CR001!

My child's MN1 application form's checklist states the following requirement for evidence of settlement of a parent:

If (Child of Lancs Medic) told us that their parent is settled in the UK then you must provide us evidence of their settled status. This could include a BRP, a letter from the Home Office, an endorsement in their passport or another document certifying permanent residence.

On the basis of the above requirement I was under the impression that the printed copy of the Home Office approval email for my ILR dated 13th October 2021 would allow me to satisfy the Home Office as evident of gaining settlement in case I do not receive my BRP in time. The main reason is my wife is expecting to deliver twins within the next 2 to 4 weeks and I really hope to receive my BRP before delivery to avoid spending an unaffordable GBP 2024 for MN1 applications for my twins after first registering my first born child for GBP 1024. This is one of the main reasons why I spent GBP 500 to get an expedited ILR decision from the Home Office.

Can I contact the UKVI for a letter clearly stating I gained settlement approval on 13th October 2021 ? I have very little hope with the Home Office for receiving my BRP within the first 10 days of ILR approval because of my previous disappointing experiences with this government department.

If only I had known better I would have emigrated to another country instead of UK.

Thanks again!

This is the ILR forum. Start a new post in the British citizenship forum regrading a new nationality application like MN1 I do not believe the UKVI will demand a BRP for MN1
