Hello all, Please help me with a doubt I have. My parents visited me in Apr 2021. They entered just 3 days before India went into red list! :) Towards the end of their visa, due to India still being in red list and no proper flights, we applied for visa extension under assurance. But before the ...

Hello members, I applied for ILR on 22nd August 2019. I haven't had any confirmation email yet (I read it takes around 8 weeks to start getting monthly updates.)

Cool! Thanks for the short and simple answer!
Guess it makes sense as It never actually happened!
Do you think I should mention it in cover letter though? I was kept waiting at the airport once because of this!

Hi dear, did you submit the old SOC or got a new letter from UKNARIK?
I am in the same situation and have a 4 year old SOC and was wondering if I can use this to avoid paying £125!!
You can work but you will have difficulty in securing another job if you don't have evidence of your new visa. Why did you not apply in person for a same day decision if you were looking to change employers? Hi, Thanks for the quick response! Frankly speaking I applied by post to save money. :| It ...
Hello Experts, I need your advice on a doubt I just had.

Hi Members, Just wanted to update in regards to my parents application. They applied on 6th October 2016. As you guys suggested there was nothing we could do regarding 1. staying longer than stated in application and 2. Not mentioning me in previous application, we decided to state everything ...
Hi iworker, That sounds really comforting! I called the UKVI twice. Once the lady said I have to withdraw my application and I will loose the application fees and IHS will be refunded in 90 days! Second time the guy told me that it doesn't matter as my husband now holds ILR and I should just mention ...

Hello experts, I need your advice once again! I came to UK in August 2013 on Tier 2 Dependent Visa which is now up for renewal. My husband got ILR last year through 5 year route.

Thanks all for your replies.
Wish I could go back in time and change the application bit.
Should we write in application that (I know there is no justification to this) we didn't mention by mistake. What else can we say?!
Hi Casa, Thanks for the quick response! Well, last time a guy from my sisters office helped with the application and he said there is no need to mention it. Definitely was a huge mistake!There is no option but to take a chance now. And you are right, there is no justification when you reside instead ...

Hi Casa, Thanks for the suggestion! I am drafting a letter now. Can you please point me where I can find the address to post it? Do you know if the address "UK Visas and Immigration, Home Office, Customer Contact Centre, Ground Floor, Vulcan House - Iron, Sheffield, S3 8NS" is the correct one? Let ...
Hi Casa & Noajthan! Thank you for the prompt replies. I know it's not been a wise decision, had we known earlier, we would have send a letter before finishing the first 4 weeks! Is it still advisable to send them a letter now stating that we didn't realise/know that we must inform the UKVI (thanks ...
