Thanks for both replies

My wife obtained her ILR in 2021 following 5 years of being in the U.K. as spouse of me, a British citizen from birth. We’re completing the application for British Citizenship and need to provide ‘ Proof of living in the U.K. for [wifes name] for 5 years if applying in your own right or 3 years if a...

Thank you for your replies.

I understood my wife needs to evidence she has been in the UK for 5 years, and thought that would be done with correspondence.

My wife has obtained her ILR (M) following 5 years in the UK as married to a British Citizen. Can she apply for British Citizenship straightaway or does she need to wait 1 year? Also for the application other than her passport showing first entry to UK 5 years ago, is there any correspondence requir...

Hi guys, I have 2 questions. 1. My wife's going to be in the UK for 5 years now in October, 2022. However her BRP card expires in June 2023. Can we apply for ILR in October 2022? Or if we want to, can we apply for the ILR say January 2023 hypothetically? How does this work. If your wife is on the 5...

Thank you Zimba for your reply - I see what you mean as my British passport has biometric page and on the next observations page, so both show on a scan/copy. My wife’s passport is Pakistani and biometric page is on page 1, and 2 pages on 4/5 for observations - so not possible to show these pages to...

I submitted the online application for my wife’s ILR(M) under Super Priority Service and am in the process of uploading documents to the Sopra Steria website prior to the Biometrics Appointment. Today we have received an email from no-reply@mail.ukvcas.co.uk as below. My question is what do they mea...

I believe you only need a letter from the current employer as you have been with them since 2019 ie longer than 6/12 months.

Your current employer needs to provide the letter along with last 6 months payslips and bank statements.

I completed my wife’s ILR(M) application on Sunday and there only option shown as standard. I checked again on Monday but no change. However on Tuesday at 2:30am it also showed Super Priority Service. I wanted to double check the application form so didn’t book then. At 10:00am on the same Tuesday i...

3. Is it mandatory for employer to state annual leave allowance? The checklist from UKVI doesn’t ask for it. But I see few folks on the forum adding this to the letter. As I stated, I’d like to not cause a change to my employer’s draft letter that’s in signature process if this info is not needed. ...

- My wife in on 5 years route spouse of British citizen, came in 10th June, 2016 her five years are completed now. Can i apply ILR SET M now or do i need to apply 28 days before visa expiry date which is 31st Oct? You can apply now as your wife has been in the UK for 5 years. Or you could have appl...

A letter from the employer(s) who issued the payslips confirming 1. the employment; 2. the gross annual salary; 3. how long the employment has been/was held; 4. the period over which the person has been paid the level of salary stated in their application; and 5. the type of employment (permanent, ...

Nice win with the priority service! Would you mind advising how many days you tried to get the priority service and on what times of day? The application date dictates how old the documents can be. So if your application date is 28 June 2021, the last payslip/bank statement cannot be older than 1 Ju...

@farhan, did you submit the application form? If so did you have the option to select priority option?

When uploading the correspondence to evidence my spouse and I live together, do we need to include the first page only showing names/address or also subsequent pages eg some bills have 4-5 pages.

I hope someone can clarify.

It was definitely 3 different sources unless the rules have recently changed.

My wife will of been in the UK for 5 years in mid-June 2021 and we are preparing the ILR application. Her current FLR(M) visa expires in October 2021. The form is stating we require 2.5 years of cohabitation evidence whereas I understood this was only 2 years? Is extra period of 0.5 years for ILR? 6...

Why is the UK born child not automatically British citizen?

After biometrics appointment you don’t need to do anything. This appointment is confirmation the application has been ‘lodged’. All your uploaded documents and biometric details will be reviewed by Home Office. You won’t receive any emails. You will receive a letter in post with the decision in arou...

The P60’s ONLY look at the income that is taxable.

That is not correct.

P60 details all gross income from an employment during the tax year.

It also lists the total amount of tax paid during that same period, taking into account the tax free allowance of around £12k.

You need to scan old passport if that includes the current visa. You also need to scan the current passport. Appointment You need to take applicant passports mentioned above and biometric residence permit. They will scan passport and return it to you. They may also ask for the biometric residence pe...

Yes, definitely.

This looks to be a General Training exam result. Some members have reported visa refusal because they took General Training instead of the list of exams (at the required test centres) per https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/799526/Approved_...

You don’t need those actual stamps on the translation. The translation is of the typed/written words and not the stamps. For example if you went to a UK solicitor, they would use their own stamp on the translation. I’m not sure if you have access to UKVCAS though on an entry visa? Although here is s...
