You can. I just did this morning for Iceland visa with Denmark consulate via VFS Join App Centre. No appointment needed. But as someone said above, processing fees etc are pain. They say visa is free of charge but these VFS guys shoot you with a bill of about £40.70 if am accurate. However, it's dow...

2 years mate, I am in similar position and documents clearly say that.

One of the good ways to find out on your own for your peace of mind is do this quick questionnaire and it will detail you:

1. In the salary section does she put her salary or my salary (she is the only applicant this time)? If it is her salary, then will it matter if it is below required £20,000? > It doesn't matter below/above 20k as it's applicant's information. Her ILR is not granted on the basis of her salary, but y...

you are right about that, it looks like a delay clearly. I applied at the start of may but got it approved roughly within 45-50 days. Best thing is not to worry, there are rare/far less reasons of failure at this stage compared to ILR or Tier1 extension applications. Fingers crossed !

Thanks to one and all for acting as a trusted source/guidance during citizenship process. I remember I posted my reply above today from work and when I checked my post, I found that I have recevied a confirmation letter today asking me to book a ceremony date. Once done, I will be provided with citi...

Congratulations guys! Mine should be on way too...fingers crossed.

Applied on 1/2 May and I have got no news to share.

Not required, original degree cert and life in uk test cert should do.

Hi sc9, Answer to your first question should be exact number of years, date, and days. Don't worry if you are not writing it as 5 years. figure is not important as long as you are eligible. Second one, yes you have spent a continuous period provided you did not stay longer than allowed number of day...

Hi, Apologies if it's s stupid question, i am confused to find out a link defining differences betwee set(o) and set(m) forms. My situation is to submit an application for my partner who's currently living with me on PBS dependant visa. I am ILR holder since last year (mar,2013). So, she is a PBS de...

Has no one applied yet in this month? I haven't got any fee deductions from my account.

My LiUK test cert took 2 weeks to arrive.

Regarding NCS , they will photocopy everything and return you back all the certs. That's what is actually the purpose of NCS to verify your documents and forward everything to UK immigration dept

Starting the May thread. Eligibility criteria: ILR, 2013 based on Tier1 3 years + HSMP 2 years Language /Life criteria met : Life in the UK cert + Language : 1) Original Degree cert 2) Letter from Uni regarding english medium 3) Point based calculator assessment Current nationality: Indian Method of...

If you have ILR and you sufficed your language instruction requirement then, there is no need to worry about it now. See this link: https://contact-ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/britishcitizenship/applying/applicationtypes/naturalisation/supportingdocuments/ and this is the relevant text: Evidence of knowl...

You don't need an external agency unless you decide to part with that much money and can't be bothered to apply. After all external agency is going to ask you for papers/documents anyway that you will be preparing for your own case. I would suggest not going to any agencies and better put that money...

Regarding dual citizenship, you are allowed to have dual citizenship i.e. keep US and UK passports while staying in US.

A number of Caribbean countries are allowed. I have been to Grenada and visa is exempt for common wealth countries.

Let me google that for you...go on the below URL to find a few hints.

We are all like you only mate, none of us are experts but helping each other like this only. Read there and then hopefully you should get some idea:)

Thank you . however couple of more points that I need answering... - Talking about contract jobs...If you are on this visa and for sake of showing high salary, (i.e. fulfilling citizenship requirements) during citizenship application, do we have to pay high taxes as well ? - Usually I see contractor...

Hi, Just wondering about the following to see if it holds any weight. People (including few recruiters) seem to recommend going for contracts only after attaining british citizenship, why is that? I think the reason mainly is for citizenship/ILR you will have to show income and for that you will hav...

As far as am aware, it's a totally separate process with different consulates under different countries' jurisdictions.

Replies please!
