1. Yes if the test centre is still on the listpeakdis wrote: ↑Mon Oct 04, 2021 11:27 amHi,
I am currently a Tier 2 general visa holder, have been working in the UK for almost 5 years and will apply for the IRL soon. I have some questions:
1. I still have my IELTS test certificate (with a score of 7.5) in 2017 used to apply for my first Tier 2 visa. It expired in 2019. Can I use this one for my IRL application? Do I have to take another test?
2. I understand that a Tier 2 visa holder cannot apply for public funds. I'm living in NI now and eligible to apply for the high-street voucher scheme. Will taking this voucher make a negative impact on my IRL application?
Thank you.
Hi again, would you please advice when is the earliest date I can apply for the ILR?
28 days before completing 5years in UK counting from the date of issue of visa.peakdis wrote: ↑Thu Feb 10, 2022 9:26 pmHi again, would you please advice when is the earliest date I can apply for the ILR?
My Tier 2 general visa was granted on 23-April-2017 and I arrived at the UK on 05-May-2017. Will the earliest date I can submit my online application be 28 days before 23 April 2022 or 28 days before 05 May 2022?
Thank you.
Thank you. So I can submit my online application on 26 March 2022 (28 days before 23 April 2022)? Can I submit earlier but book an appointment for document scan on a date after 26 March?AmazonianX wrote: ↑Fri Feb 11, 2022 7:06 am28 days before completing 5years in UK counting from the date of issue of visa.peakdis wrote: ↑Thu Feb 10, 2022 9:26 pmHi again, would you please advice when is the earliest date I can apply for the ILR?

You are eligible to apply from 26th March, 2022. Date of online payment is taken as date of application. To apply before date of eligibility is your decision to make.peakdis wrote: ↑Fri Feb 11, 2022 9:19 amThank you. So I can submit my online application on 26 March 2022 (28 days before 23 April 2022)?

It is your BRP.peakdis wrote: ↑Wed Mar 09, 2022 3:45 pmMay I ask another question (I am not allowed to edit my previous post)?
They ask me to provide "Evidence of immigration status in the UK". What is that? I thought it was the BRP card, but it's not as there is already an item "Current Biometric Residence Permit" in the list.
Thank you. I read from other posts that letter from the previous employer stating the reasons for absences is not required anymore. But I do see the online system asking me to provide such a letter. Should I just ignore it? If so, which option should I choose for the question "What evidence will you provide to support the reasons for all absences from the UK and Crown Dependencies?"AmazonianX wrote: ↑Wed Mar 09, 2022 4:54 pmIt is your BRP.peakdis wrote: ↑Wed Mar 09, 2022 3:45 pmMay I ask another question (I am not allowed to edit my previous post)?

You will use same BRP to meet both requirements.
Rule changes, updates in guidance and online application forms appears not to be coordinated. Ignore it.peakdis wrote: ↑Thu Mar 10, 2022 1:16 pmThank you.
