That's calming, so you recommend I apply for ILR straightaway on 3rd june and delay biometrics to 10th July ( even though I will pay for priority decision ) or the other option, which is to vary in order that she applies within 28 days of her 5 year qualifying period? Why July ?? The date of first ...

A marriage certificate is not needed. British children must not be added to the application.
For cohabitation documents see: All you need to know about cohabitation evidence

These still don't address the fact that its wording is totally contradicting the above-mentioned Continuous Residence rule CR2.2A, and the general information page SET(LR). So has the Home Office made a mistake or do you think there are alternative ways to interpret its meaning? Thank you. There ar...

Look at 'Example 2: specific to Appendix Long Residence' in the guide you shared yourself Also paragraph CR4.1(d)(iii) of the immigration rules says: (iii) the application is under Appendix Long Residence, and the applicant had permission when they left the UK and returned to the UK with a valid per...

Information on eVisas as all BPRs will be phased out from 1st Jan 2025

Read the topics pinned to the top of the forum regarding eVisas

For point 2, part 2 of the consent form must be signed by your spouse. Point 4 and 5 refer to BRP

You can but the requirements are very specific. Both sources of income must be ongoing and self-employment requires you to submit the last self-assessment.

Good afternoon. Kindly advise me on the following: If I submit my application on the 5th of April 2025 being the last financial day for 2024.

Hi, I got the curtailment letter from Home office to leave the country dated 10th June. A licensed sponsor ready to provide COS but he doesn't have any allocation at the moment and the priority service is also not helping out(trying out daily). Since days are running, I'm more worried and I would l...

That does NOT apply to the long residence path to ILR. Under the long residence rules, you can leave with a valid visa and return within 6 months without issues.

No. The absence limit is 180 days in any 365-day period.

In cases where the decision cannot be made, UKVI often tells you that an application can take up to 6 months

Your previous posts suggest this application was lodged 4 months ago ! There is...

The earliest date of ILR eligibility is first visa issue date + 5 years - 28 days
