Hi,
Does anyone know if its okay to submit new fees on current SET O forms, which will become outdated on 6/04/10.
Perhaps new ones may come few days before the change date!
I am enquiring as I do not want to fill them all over again, my appointment being on 6/04/10.
Any advise?
Thanks
Best Regards

You would need to fill in the new forms as the new forms will have the new fees mentioned in them.

Yes of course but UKBA has not published any forms, yet, hence my query.
Thanks

Hey guys any idea bout the fees for applying LIR (PEO).. I will be submitting my wife application as well. I think theres no additional fees required for that?

@visaseeker,
thats how i read it too and you are right..
There is no fees hike for PBS routes to ILR. Table in the UKBA PDF document only applies to non PBS routes to settlement or i am confused..
any opinions ?

They will publish the new forms soon and definitely before 06th April 2010.

Hi all,
I have some update on this from UKBA, for SET O applications wef 6/04/10
1.New forms will appear before 31/03, so there is no point in filling the 05/2009 foms.
2.New fees for ILR as mentioned on the website will apply from 6/04/10.
To clarfiy, the relevant ones for this forum are
ILR-PEO 1,095 + 154/ dependent
ILR-Postal 840 + 129/dependent
ILR dependent relative fee will also change as specified on the website but this is not for spouse or dependent children, which is what we are concerned about on this forum.
Hope this helps and clarifies the new changes for SET O applicants.
Best Regards

Hi gidoc,

Did they say in the update that Fees will increase for every one applying after 6th april in SET(0)?
Set (0) form is used by many categories..

Thanks,
Deep..

yes...they all fall within the appli form and not just ILR, every application on or after 6th April will incur the new fees (in Uk and out of UK applications).

"Regarding your request for information on when the revised application forms will be available on the United Kingdom Border Agency website, it is planned application forms and guidance notes with the updated fees will be on the website from the 31 March 2010, ahead of the new fees which come into effect on the 06 April 2010.

Regarding applicants who have an appointment at a Public Enquiry Offices on the 6 April 2010, the applicant may use the current version of an application form for applications made up to 21 days from the date of introduction of the new form. Therefore, current application forms will continue to be valid for use, up to and including the 27 April 2010."

Hi,
Thanks for this. The last bit is news but makes sense.
Now, does it mean the same applies to fees?? I would imagine not!
Best regards

If I post my application on or around 31st of March 2010, Should I send the new fee or old ones. I am asking this question as the difference for me is around £300.

In addition, just to confirm that £129 fee is per dependant.

of course you will apply on old application form with the old fee, the new fee doesn't come into effect until 6th april.

Has anybody seen the new forms yet ?
Could somebody please post a link once you find them.
Thanks.

I havent seen any new forms yet and I am due to go on 6/04. Will use the old forms but will have to pay new fees.
Best Regards

Hi gidoc,

The new forms are not out yet but they should be released soon, I don't think you can apply on old forms with new fees as there is usually an amendment, however big or small, everytime they release new application forms...so just look out for them ALL THE BEST!!!

P.S. Even the payment slip page will change as it says the old fee

Well, theyre not out today and only one working day left( 1/04). Perhaps will call them tomorrow to confirm if I can use the old form.
Best regards

yeah that'll be a good idea as only they can tell you what they are up to...and sometimes even they don't know what they are up to anyway good luck again mate!

An update I have had today from UKBA;
New forms not yet available, we have to use existing forms but with new fees.
Best regards

Did they say untill what date you can use the old forms or when will the new forms be available.

I guess until they appear , you have to use the existing ones. They did not say when they will appear.
Best regards

Thanks gidoc.
All the best with your application.

Hi all, I just checked the UKBA website and can see the new 6 April form and guidance note.

All the best everyone!

Is it new form? it is saying "Last Updated: 05 April 2012" but fee seems to be same. I think it is a mistake/error and we may see new form on 6th of April 12
