Another update:

I have raise this issues through a few channels - hopefully we will get some response somewhere - local MPs, Migrant Right Network & some media (i.e. BBC)

Will update when I hear anything.

Another quick update on BRP delivery time: The NTL transfer from vignette (old passport) was done at Croydon on Monday - everything was done in less than 1 hour. The BRP surprisingly arrived this morning already - ~ 48hours since I left Croydon... - BRP states - SETTLEMENT - NO TIME LIMIT instead of...

Just a quick update: Went to Croydon today, Home Office seriously need to get all the documents read/foolproof before distributing to all employer... The manager of the day says that it is not compulsory , but I mentioned the contradiction - visa on expired passport NOT VALID (latest May 16th rule)-...

i agree... very poorly constructed document

i.e. immigration officer at airport/port will accept both current & old passport (with visa) - what is the purpose of them letting ppl in based on the ILR sticker on old passport but not allowed to work freely??!

Very contradicting indeed...

Yes, definitely have the vignette on page 25...on old passport...

Wish it was on blank A4 paper now... I only hear one case where ILR is on A4 - due to lack of passport pages..

Thank you. Much appreciated

Thanks, Paperpusher... I saw the the 1st paragraph you mentioned. On the second one - "Also, a page near the end explains that vignette may be in an old passport." - do you mind giving me the exact page. I am actually negotiating with the HR on the need to apply for it. if worse - I dread sending an...

Hi immigrationboards member, It has been 3 yrs since I had the ILR sticker in my passport. I recently renew my passport and the ILR (sticker) - Vignette style is in the old passport. I was in process of switching job and the HR of the new company bring up this new rule which is very contradicting. 1...

Thanks for your reply. re: (2) my application was not late. I submitted 4 weeks (4th Nov) before the expiry (30th Nov) of my visa and money was taken 22 days before (9th Nov) the expiry of visa but new visa (4th Dec) was issued 4 days after the expiry of visa. so as long as i submitted the applicat...

Thanks for the info!

Thanks, sushdmehta!

Not sure how SAR will help with Departure dates as they don't stamp anything (when leaving UK, can only do reverse calculation through stamps on the next country).

Thanks again!

Anyone with any advise? Also, with regards to 4 & 7: Example below useful? Example 3 A person has leave in the UK that expires on 15 September 2008. The person departs the UK on 10 September 2008 (before their leave expired). Whilst the person is abroad they obtain fresh entry clearance and re-enter...

Hello all, The recent activity of the government was worrying, plus by reading this particular thread suddenly re-induce the idea for me to apply the ILR based on 10 yr long residency. Initially, I did ask for advise in another forum about 3 yrs ago, to enquire about ILR (based on 10 yrs, but was pu...

Congrats! ENjoy the new freedom!

Congratulations!

Enjoy the new immigration freedom!

Congratulations!

Mine will be the same situation, i.e. WP + HSMP + Tier 1, but I did switch a couple of employer.... in between!

Many thanks for sharing the experience!
