Can some one please give an idea for the order of these stages: Approval, Allocation, Consideration, Security Checks and With Caseworker etc. This is also been requested by another user here but I think this can be very useful for estimating progress. If possible can someone also tell us what is in...

Thanks Generalisimus,

I sometimes wonder if it would have been any faster with the NCS. However, what is done is done. I hope my application is allocated and aproved soon. Wonder if consideration & security checks have already been carried out.

Thats all right Casa, thanks a lot. I am thankful to everyone for being kind and supportive.

Hi All, Thanks a lot for all the help, I can confirm I was granted ILR at the Croydon PEO. I had an appointment for 9:00 am. I was supposed to reach at 8:30. As usual I was very late. We( myself, wife and daughter) left home at 8:05 am. Unfortunately my 3 yr old daughter was sick in the cab (luckily...

Hi, I was in a very similar situation 2 years ago. My ife was not working and I had become self employed with no payslips to prove steady income. It is understandable that your partner has filed his taxes yet. In my case, I simply sent 1) all the P60 documents of the past 2 years. 2) Bank statements...

Thanks a lot for the reminder, I had it on my table and would certainly have forgotten it had you not reminded me.

Any idea on the form I have attached is the version they are accepting now.

Cheers

Hi Casa, Thanks a lot. I have got everything in order. I have filled the form that I managed to find and I will just go tomorrow with my wife and daughter. Do you think I can request them for a latest form if the one I have filled is an older version without losing my application fee. Just for my pe...

Thanks for your reply Casa. I have managed to find a link through google. It links to a SET(M) form however I am not sure if it is the correct version or if it has been updated. I do not want to loose my fee and then be told it is the wrong form. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applica...

Hi Casa, I have tried doing that it gives me an online version of the form in an editable pdf that has to be submitted on the internet. I have checked the guidance and got all the documents. I could have got the ILR 2 years ago but I was not aware of the need for Life in the UK test. I have passed t...

Hi John, Apologies for the late reply. We have been trying very hard to get some work. I believe in 2 months time things could improve. Now about your questions Muz, your 2nd 2-year spouse visa, it is not just about to expire, is it? Why not delay the ILR application until either your or your wife, ...

The only income we have is 1) £80 Child Benefit 2) £42 Child Tax Credit 3) We have borrowed funds from family. 4) the council has given us Council Tax Credit(My wife made sure it was in her name only) 5) We a...

Hi, I have been married to a British Citizen for nearly 4 years. I could not apply for an ILR at the end of the first 2 years of my Spouse Visa, this was because I did not know in time that a Living in the UK test was needed and I was 2 days away from the expiry of my spouse visa. I applied for anot...
