Thought I just write a msg before I applied via post - would appreciate some feedback as you folks on this forum seem to know a lot
- I came to the UK on the 16th of Sep 2002 - So I can apply on the 18th of Aug 2012 (even though its a Sat - The post office is open)
- I assume that for the 10 year route they only ask for Passports, LIUK (with copies) but there is always mention of people sending in letters , bank statements and mortgage agreements - Is this really necessary. I mean if it was , they would have asked for them. Has anyone been refused the ILR - Long Residence by not sending documents that haven’t been asked for?
- Is it a good idea to pay for a lawyer? I am not sure if legal representation is a good value or not.
HI!
When I applied for my ILR, based on the 10 years, I only send my old biometric card, old and current passport, pictures and life in the UK test result, I did it myself and it took 5 months, I have a friend who applied through a solicitor since January and she is still waiting, you can do it yourself, if you are sure that you do not have any gaps. Good luck. (I also applied on a Saturday).
All for one, one for all..... Peace
