Questions (mainly For clarification)

1- Can i apply by the end of March?

2- If i apply by the end of March then i have to put 4 years and 10 months in Question "7.11. how long have you lived in the UK?". Is it fine? Wouldn't it contradict question SECTION 9 - D1

3- Do i need complete 6.3 question asking about the evidence of all the absences from the UK?

4- We both passed Life in the UK Test. Do we need to fill in 4.4 about the Life in UK Test?

5- I am not sure if my fingerprints was taken back in Feb 2008 when i applied for the first time. So do i need to mention it or leave it blank.

6- There are two statements available. “Please do not send us your application more than 28 days before you become eligible to apply.” and Please do not apply more than 28 days before completing the qualifying period. Question is that both statements are same or is there any difference.

7- SECTION 9 c. Age Assessment: First time i applied in first week of Feb 2008 before my 29th Birthday. So i am clamming 10 points. Am i getting it right?

8- Got two birth certificates of my baby? 1- detailed and simple. Which one to send? and do i need to sign if detailed one is required to send.

Fingers prints would have been taken. Mention the details of when you applied for the initial visa

6- There are two statements available. “Please do not send us your application more than 28 days before you become eligible to apply.” and Please do not apply more than 28 days before completing the qualifying period. Question is that both statements are same or is there any difference.

thanks. Any comments other than my questions? Like did i put things right as per my description above the questions list?

1- Can i apply by the end of March?

One more point i want to clarify. The reason i asked question about applying date is that one of my friend thinks that i can only apply after 12 April. The logic behind he describes is that on 10th April my 4 years and 11 month will be completed and after couple of days then i will be fulfilling the criteria which says that i must not apply earlier than 28 days before the qualifying period.

In simple words his point is that i can only apply after completing 4 yeas 11 months and 2/3 days in uk. (From 10th May 2008 to 12 April 2013)

Your comments pls!!!

Was your child born in the UK? If so, then you might want to consider not including your child for ILR. Saves money. The moment you get ILR, your baby's ILR becomes unnecessary (if the baby was included in ILR application). The baby can proceed towards British citizenship and passport as soon as you get your BRP card.

Thanks a lot. Actually i got different opinions on this point and that is why i decided to include. I understand your point as well.

What would be your suggestion if i choose to apply in person i.e PEO? How can i exclude my baby in that case?

If you want to exclude your child at PEO application, simply mention this to CW. Make sure you have a set of form filled up excluding the child dependent.

I also booked PEO appointment including my kid. (Main app + 2 dep). Later applied only for me and my wife. Just mentioned this at the time of payment when I saw my son's name in their list. The lady told that is fine.
