Appointment Date

[ilr_hopeful]

Hi, I arrived in the UK early in the morning of the 23 May 2004. I'm now applying for ILR and from what date can I take the appointment for?

As per my calculation, I can apply anytime on or after the 25 April 2009. Is that correct?

Sorry to be so pedantic. Best Regards.

Yes you can apply attend the PEO on or after 25/4/09

The rule is 28 days before.

And if I apply after April 01, 2009 (or 6th or whenever the new rules are due in April), will it be for ILR, or am I looking at a Probationary Citizenship?

There are a few threads that speak of Temp Residence (FLR) --> Probationary Citizenship (in place of ILR) --> Citizenship after 1 to 3 years (based on ones "character").

Now is it yet clear if this applies now, or when it will be applied, or if there is any clear-cut directive to its application - any information at all should be good. Is there a Yes-No answer to this, or is it one of those "Has-your-wife-stopped-beating-you?" type questions?

Thanks in advance.

New rules not even through the House of Lords yet. So the answer is:
ILR
Have you passed the Life in the UK test??
New SET(M) form from the 6th April, which will show increase of visa fee to £850 for postal and £1050 for PEO in person application. But you probably knew that.

[ilr_hopeful]

Yes... passed the test... any idea how I can know my score (purely statistical interest)?

I think its the SET(O) for me. Am aware there'll be a new format of it starting 06 April.

Thanks.
