Today I went to apply for passport of our son who is born 10 days ago. I was asked to register a birth online which I did but my application for passport was not taken and I was asked to get certificate that my son has not applied for British passport. Our background is I am British citizen, my wife...

Really good news guys.. JAJ, mate I owe you a big dinner :) seriously. Your following comment " whilst not settled, is unlikely in the short or medium term to be returnable to his or her country of origin (eg s/he has been granted Discretionary Leave), and there is otherwise no reason to think that ...

Well, For SET(M) she needs to be dependent for 2 years which continuously she is not. She was dependent for initial 3 years than 2 years on HSMP and now 1 year on marriage visa so by the looks of it, I don't think she can apply for SET(M) for another year.. any thoughts?

I did private ceremony yesterday (£60 at barking) and applied for passport today. Let's see how long it takes.

I also do not have much hope. I have wrote a letter to HO, let's see what happens. Another thing, my wife has been living in UK for last 6 years albeit as dependent than on HSMP and since last year on marriage visa. Now that I am citizen can I apply for some sort of "life long" visa for her? She is ...

I applied from Barking NCS

good luck mate! I also applied on 9th and I was told letters are in post. This week you should receive it.

called up ukba this morning. They confirmed that my decision has been made and letters are in post. Hopefully I should get it this week. Following this, will write to HO about my daughter.

Ohh.. I can see some light at the end of tunnel.. the fact is that although the application for me and my daughter was submitted at the same time, they have not made decision on mine but made for my daughter does not seem right to me. If my application was failed and than they refused her that's log...

Also, she was born in India.

NCS or Postal: NCS Barking(myself and my daughter) Nationality: Indian Date of submission : 9th May 2010 Received at HO: 11 March 2010 CRITERIA - 4 years W...

Guys, I been to Liverpool PEO on friday and they have accepted my application but could't process it same day as I did not had employment letters from previous employers. That said, they did not turned me away but kept the application. I am on HSMP since Dec 2007 and prior to that I was on work perm...

Mate, Not that I want to scare you but I did attend an appointment last week with similar situation. i.e. had a work permit from company but did not worked for them for 3 months. I went to liverpool PEO and they asked for a letter from ALL employers. I need to submit that in 14 days otherwise my cas...

Yes. I did phoned the liverpool office and they said that dependant need not be there as biomatric is not requried for ILR applicatant.

I think it's required for married visa but not for ILR.

Thanks for your help guys.

I am sorry to piggy back on your post mate but my situation is so relevant I couldn’t resist. I came to country in May 2004 on 2 year WP and was working on my first WP until Apr 2005. Than I left that company and applied for new employment in May 2nd week. I got my WP for another 3 years but neith...

Hi, I got a quick question. I am applying for ILR after 5 years of WP + HSMP. I live at London and got appointment at Liverpool as there are no appointment available at Croydon. Can someone please confirm that dependant needs to be physically present? It's a 500 mile drive and if my 2 year old can a...

Hi, Life is never easy.. So, I came to UK in May 2004 on WP (and LTR) valid until May 2006 . I worked on WP until Feb 2005 when my employer decided to make me redundant. I than in April 2005, I managed to get sponsor and got WP which said I have 6 month (or before my leave expire) to apply for leave...
