Hi guys!

Got back home last night and was trying to access this board but got a message to say my IP has been permanently banned. What's that about?! Has anyone else experienced this before?

I sent a message to the email addy given but haven't got a response.

Can access the board away from home...

Hello TheJuryMustDie,
Probably they were carrying out maintenance when you tried to access it. I have experienced it before. I guess it's not amajor issue.Though recently I noticed that when you post a comment and click submit it doesn't take you back to the forum link anymore unless you refresh the page. Hence some people are posting same comments couple of timea or even more in some instance. But I can live with that buddy. It doesn't cost me anything to refresh my page after posting a comment. Enjoy.

Hi Guys,

Please help!!!

I applied for a replacement Biometric Card using Form BRP(RC) due to the loss of BRP card by the delivery system , but i got an aknowledgement letter back saying "...application by the above-name on Form CRA(sett)..."

I know this is not the forum for this, but any advise on this is appreciated, i dont know what the form 'CRA(sett)' means? i have checked everywhere on the home office site.

Any idea??

Thanks!!!

Hello rashenikki,
This is new to me. I would advise you to call HO and quote your reference number on your acknowledgement letter to whoever will speak with you and explain your situation to him/her. I would also probably put a letter through the post to HO address where you initially posted your BRP replacement application and also explain your concerns to them in the letter.Hope it works out ok for you. Good luck.

Thanks Spatacus,
just called the Durham office, they told me that the form was probably formerly called that CRA(sett); that most of the letters sent is a cut and paste job and i shouldn't worry about it.

Good to hear that you are sorted with your clarification

Hello,
Thank you for sharing your time lines. Welcome to the waiting list.

Thanks Spatacus and All the best to u!
I see that your and my wife's timeline are almost identical. Is she right to expect her visa any day now?

Regards,[/quote]

Completely yes bro, am sitting and expecting it anytime soon.Although HO has been very sluggish in making decisions these days.But hey bro am very kool with it.Am not travelling or going anywhere outside the UK at the moment. So let them take all their time. Although I feel for other forum members who are eagerly anticipating for results.

I forgot to mention, and if it helps, my wife received acknowledgement letter on 06/09/14.

I also have a ques - Does the approval letter comes as recorded signed for or like normal mail? As I understand that decision letter arrives before the docs?

Not for SET LR category I am afraid! T1 or T2 have a 90 days grace period after the visa is granted which can be counted to completed 5 years residency to be eligible for ILR. In the case of SET (LR) you can apply 28 days prior to your first entry although I have seen some cases on this forum you have applied 50-60 days prior and have received their visa.

I personally wouldn't recommend if you can wait for 28 days prior it is straight forward application provided if you meet all other requirements.

Hope it helps!!

100% correct. Don't risk it. Just wait till you are 28 days prior to completing 10th year in the UK from your entry date.

Dear all
Please can you provide information on how many days absence is
allowed from the UK on FLR M, 3/2 year visa so it doesn't affect the extension or
ILR Application?
