Hi, I'm trying to learn more about the immigration process because my girlfriend is currently dealing with it, and so far this forum has been very useful. I'd like to add to this discussion though; I've heard that the reason there are never any slots available is because migration consultancy ...

uksettlement is absolutely correct. There is no difference whatsoever, I have both copies from the library as well as the electronic pdf version. All are reprints of the 2007 copy, which was the second edition. This is also clearly stated in the inside cover of the latest LIUK. Second Edition, 11th ...

May I possibly stick my neck out here and suggest/query something? Is it possible, that perhaps one could argue that the terms "current" and "valid" are ambiguous and misleading? Here's what I mean. The regulation states you must have a "current" passport, not a "valid" passport. In other words all ...

There is the law and there is the policy guidance. Policy guidance is not law and can change at any time, without parliament. It is an HO organisational document. Policy guidance is not subject to appeal unless a law is being broken. A lot of things can be done so long as the law is not contradicted ...

The BRP/fingerprint is not a substitute for ID as the OP is trying to claim. This is also mentioned on UKBA. This is independent of travel or not. Fingerprints are not a substitute for passport.

BRP card must be shown with a passport. You cannot just use the BRP card.

See the guidelines.

No confusion, passport is an identification document. Even if you do not leave the UK you still need a valid visa, and thus a valid passport. A passport is required to prove citizenship and immigration status so you must have a current passport of the country you are a citizen of. You cannot use ...

Hi, A visa requires a current and valid passport. The name on the visa and BRP card must match a valid passport with the same details. The visa is the permission and the passport is the identification. An ILR is not a British passport or travel document, you need a passport. Technically you ...
