@blackbirdssg, thank you

A friend of mine is due to apply for a tier 2 visa (currently on student visa) but was caught driving with a provisional licence. He was given a ticket but the police said his insurance was invalid because he was driving with no experienced driver beside him. As a result, he's going to be taken to c...

Yes i beleive so. i made the application 13days after the refusal

Usually section 3C come into play when application is submitted in timely which despite gets expired afterwards during the process. Check your eligibility by referring to the official guidance. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/841917/lo...

I did post a question on the ILR page some days ago but considering i am now looking to continue as a PBS dependant i though i'd ask my question and seek clarification here instead. To give a bit of a background, i was a PBS dependant for two years and have been married for over 5 years. My partner ...

May i also please ask what effect, if any will this refusal have on my subsequent applications? I am already filling in the online application for tier 2 PBS dependant extension. Is there anything i need to know or take into consideration as a result of this refusal, just want to be forearmed reall...

May i also please ask what effect, if any will this refusal have on my subsequent applications? I am already filling in the online application for tier 2 PBS dependant extension. Is there anything i need to know or take into consideration as a result of this refusal, just want to be forearmed really.

If ILR is refused, you do not get a refund of the fee. Has your visa already expired? Did the refusal letter say anything about 30 months leave to remain and paying IHS etc? Yes my visa has already expired. I applied on the 7th of Nov 2018 and it was due to expire on the 9th of Nov 2018. Refusal le...

You need 5 years as a PBS dependent visa. You only qualify for ILR in March 2021. You cannot combine tier 2 main visa time with tier 2 dependent visa to make up 5 years. Sorry I misread earlier and didn't realise in 2024 you were a main tier 2 visa holder. Thanks for your reply. When a applied, I d...

When did you apply for ILR and when did you get the refusal Which form did you complete for ILR?? Was it form SET(M)??? If yes, were you advised to use this form or did you believe it was correct (which it wasn't)? I applied on the 7th of November 2018 and got a refusal today the 16th of May 2019 I...

PBS Dependant partner application refusal I applied for ILR as a PBS dependant of a settled spouse and it was refused under 319E. It appears our interpretation of the years of marriage and years I should have depended on my spouse is different from that of home office. Here is my journey so far: 20 ...

oh.....just seeing your reply. documents submitted were: 1. Letter from previous employer saying holidays were paid holidays 2. Letter from current employer stating: salary, applicant will still be required for the foreseable future, holidays were paid holidays 3. Current account bank statement show...

Thanks CR001 and GMO for your comments and the links you sent to help clarify my questions. ILR premium application was approved today.

Thanks alot

You can apply no sooner than within 28 days before you qualify counting from the date your tier 2 general visa started OR anytime after that but before your current visa expires. thank you for your reply. i believe we are in order based on what you quoted. Below are the dates BRP CARD DATES start d...

May i also please ask if the qualifying period for 5years been referred to in tier 2 to ILR application can be: a. you have spent a total of 5years from the time you were first issued a tier 2 visa till now b. eligible to apply anyday from 28days before the end date on your BRP The premium day chose...

oh thanks, i mixed things up in my head. you are very correct regarding the 180days. i was actually concerned about the need for a letter from company if the absence isnt related to work. i have read the doc you attached specifically everything under 245 and my understanding still remains that one d...

Thanks for your reply but could you please point me to where this is stated in the document as what i read only says letter is needed if you soend over 180days

i have read a few post on here about absence letter from previous and current employers. My understanding (from home office document) is  that this is only needed if one spent more than 180days outside UK.  For paid annual leave spent within or outside UK, provided its the usual 25 or 28days (depend...

Another adviser we saw was saying we apply again as PBS dependant but asking for discretion and exceptional basis. I am not very optimistic about that as she still doesn't fulfil 319H . I don't know if Home office would grant a refused visa under the same application in an Overstayer situation. We a...

Hi Vinny, No they didn't reply. However, there was an automated response saying they are a small policy team and will generally only answer internal Home Office enquiries about complex family policy. Also said they are not able to answer all external customers enquiries . Dint receive any further co...

Hi Vinny, The adviser said: " your daughter's status will not affect your status because they will be looking at you personally and what you have done. The home office do not refuse based on another person or family member's immigration status. Furthermore, your daughter's citizenship will be based ...

very adviser we have contacted about this have suggested either doing nothing and waiting to apply for british citizenship for her after one of us parents get ILR or reapplying again for her as PBS dependant but asking for it to be and exceptional case and handled with discretion. There isn't any gu...
