If she is applying now, will she be considered as Spouse of British Citizen or is she be considered on her own ? ...

Thank you so much.

Hi All, My cousin wants to do his masters here in the UK and already got conditional offer from 2 unis. Can he and his dependents ( wife and son) apply for the visa at the same time as the main applicant ? I couldn't find anything against it in the Tier 4 guidance document. I am asking as one of my ...

Thank you very much for your reply tier1-immigrant...we followed your advice and made sure we were < 10 in the queue. And job got done :). This was in Hounslow. We chose to go to Hounslow as the lady on helpline said they are not accepting any more walk-ins in Goswell road office. I am not sure if ...

Thank you CR001 and others for the replies.

I called them up and got it scheduled a month earlier. It costed me £112 for a Monday - Thursday appointment. For Friday and Saturday, it was £153.

Along with my application, I sent my daughter's British citizenship registration application. It is also approved. can I book a private ceremony to do mine and collect my daughter's registration certificate ?

Do I have pay for collecting my daughter's as well ?

When I called them yesterday, they told me that council will automatically schedule the ceremony. Today afternoon, I got a letter fro...

You don't need to provide evidence, I applied couple of months back and got the approval last week.
I had obtained ILR in 2015 using a Indian degree.

Thank you so much. It definitely helps.

No point calling, the call centre is outsourced. Simply do as the previous poster advised. Thank you CR001 I just want to understand it. Is it a bug in the current online system ? This was the question: Have you met the requirement to qualify for settlement on or after 28th October 2013? Yes I have...

Should I call UKVI up to explain that the check list did not ask for it ? I did check with people in UKVAS and they told me that if it is not mentioned in checklist, then probably not required.

Hi All, I have submitted my application and attended the UKVAS centre. I have not uploaded my UK degree for language requirements. I am an indian national. I have a UK degree. I got ILR on the basis of 5 year on Tier 2. I got ILR on Feb 2, 2018. In the application, it said 'Yes' that I have satisfie...

The check list mentions about a Consent form from the parents of the Child. I was expecting a pre-formatted cons...

Thank you CR001 !

For Online Naturalisation application, what is the date of application ? Date of online payment of fees ?

I was out of the country from 5 March 2014 -10 March 2014. If I take UKVAS appointment between 5 March 2019 -10 March 2019 will that be a problem ?

I got this serious concern about my daughter's professional reference ( Nursery Manager). My daugter is 2.6 years old. The reference section says "know or have known the applicant personally for more than 3 years" Will the referee declaration in the generated forms will have the 3 year clause ? The ...

I am finalising the application and have few more questions. 1. Have you met the requirement to qualify for settlement on or after 28th October 2013? I have answered it as 'Yes' because I had my ILR done in Feb 2018. Is it because of that I have NOT been asked to upload evidence of English language....

Why do you need a letter from the nursery???

Sorry it is not the letter. I meant the details for filling up the referee details. Nursery Manager has agreed to be her referee. Is it OK if I give Manager's official address and email id rather than her personal address ?

I have emailed nursery to get a letter. Meanwhile, I have another question. The online form makes the passport number mandatory. If the referee does not wish to supply it ?Then , how do you go about it?

Also since she goes to a nursery, cant one of the teachers there be a referee ? As they are the ones who have interacted with her. They do ask how you know the referee and can carry out checks so your fathers cousins wife could be considered family as they have not specified or defined the term "re...

The requirement is that the person should have known you for 3 years to qualify as a referee. For the professional reference you can have any manager or senior leadership that you may have worked with for longer, even from your previous employment. Alternatively if any of your friends or family her...
