Just your biometric resident permit and travel document...and yeah ur country passport if you still have it on you....

No need for payslips or anyother documents...

Application is pretty straight forward....you could fill it yourself and book an appoint for biometric online....

Use a solicitor if there is any complications in your application ....as in anything changed since u were granted leave...

Hi guys,

I am applying next week for ILR, and I need some help regarding changes in home country. Did change of government may impact on an application while system of the country still pretty the same? Do I need a solicitor as @jesse8 suggested for any change? Thanks for taking time to respond to my query.
If your asylum was political directly because of the govt then with its changing it may affect your continuity of protection.But if it wasnt because of govt then its changing doesnt have any impact on your asylum.
Thanks London22 for reply to my query,
I think I will also get a legal advice on this. I will keep you guys updated.
Hi guys,

I have submitted my application and the available dates for biometric appointments are after my current leave expires, it's that alright to book one anyway?
Also is the application start to be processed after the biometrics have been submitted?

Thanks in advance to anyone who will take her/his time to respond to my query.

At the end of the application it actually tells you until when you have to give in your biometric and upload documents...mine was 2 months after I submitted...

Hi guys,

I have applied through a solicitor and today I received a copy of my application form filled and found error about the date I have entered the UK. I called the solicitor, he said he will fix it. I am now a bit concern on how this may affect my application. Any advice please?

This can trigger a bit of delay in the application.You must have to make sure that you have informed HO with the correct date as leaving on solicitor can cost you a huge price as we know many solicitors dont take the cases seriously as applicants do hence in my view this application is simple and should be made without a solicitor.

brother

don't fall for any information which does not seems logically true just apply in last month and leave it on official timing which is 2 months to 6 months. I did some research as well and I did not find anything so-called new immigration case working system. stay bless and stay at home.

Hi

There is no link to share, all I said that I got an email from home office and I searched that email address and found about this new system.

I applied through standard UK visas and immigration website, in terms of documents I submitted my BRP, travel document, expired national identity card (PAK), consent form, utility bill as a proof of address, my educational degrees ( B.Eng form Pakistan University and MSc from UK university), also as I’m married to a German national I mentioned this in my application ( though didn’t provide any evidence)

I gave my biometric at Croydon and uploaded all the above documents before hand. During my appointment they took my photo, finger prints and scanned in my travel document pages where I had stamps (mostly European countries) and that’s it.

After submitting all that, after 23 days I received an email from home office Atlas (home.office.atlas@notifications.service.gov.uk) as an application update stating my application for indefinite leave to remain has been successful and I will receive my BRP within 7 working days, I received my BRP after 5 days.

I have applied yesterday for ILR but unfortunately I saw UKVCAS have announced that all offices are closed now.
Do you know if I have to apply for any extension "I have refugee VISA for 5 years which will expire 24th April".

At the end of your application..it would have told you as to when is the last date to give in your biometrics......if you are still worried...you could call and speak to them or mail them.....

The advise from the govt is not clear as yet although it says employers who keep employees &keep paying them up to 80% of wages will get grants from govt which is valid for zero hour workers as well.Self employed will get up to £2500 a month in June.Advise is not clear .Many employers of zero hour employees are discriminating with workers .The govt has got funds but deliberately announced this complex policy .Why not simply pay everyone who is not working due to Covid 19?? Well people in power love to make things difficult &complex

Hi all,

I hope I can find an advise. I applied on 10 Dec 2019, but with this situation COVID19, I am not sure what will happen or what would be the time to receive any update from HO.
