Hi,

Any updates please?

Thanks,
Karthik

Did you settle as a PBS dep or long residence and did you apply for your spouse a PBS dep extension or flr(m)? I came to the UK in early 2006 with a work permit, swtiched to Tier 2 in early 2010, got my ILR in June 2011. My wife came to the UK in June 2010 with a Tier 2 dependant visa, applied for ...

Hello, I'm looking for some expert advice on my wife's ILR application. My wife came to the UK in June 2010 with a Tier 2 dependant visa. I received my ILR in June 2011. However, we applied for her ILR dependant visa in Feb 2012 and received the visa in Sept 2012. I'm wondering if she is eligible to...

Congrats!! Just one question.. you mention that you had an employement letter from previous employer ''supporting your ILR'' - could you please elaborate on the contents of the letter ? a brief description would be great. Thanks.. Yes, the letter from my previous employer stated that I'd worked for...

may i ask how many of your 220 days absences were business and personal? thanks!

100 days - Business, 120 days - Personal

I wouldn't think it would be an issue. Mine was simply addressed to the UK Border Agency. The subject on the letter was quite clear that the application was towards ILR. Didnt have an issue with my application.

Hi Ken - good luck! I'm in a similar-ish boat. My total absences are 286 days (excluding travel dates) and here is the break-up: 1) Business trips: 193 (have employer letter certifying each trip) 2) Paid Annual vacations: 93 (have an overall employer latter certifying no unpaid absences) 3) Unpaid ...

Thanks.
I was asked for a P60/P45 as an evidence of my previous employment. However, as I already had a letter from my previous employer supporting my ILR, the P60 wasnt required.
P60 was not asked as an evidence for my current employment (though I had taken it with me)

I was on a WP + Tier 2 visa. Came to the UK in early 2006 and worked for 2 employers. Made a successful ILR application today with the Croydon PEO. As it happened... My appointment was at 09:00, hence reached PEO at 08:30. Was asked to see an officer who checked all my docs. The lady asked for my LI...

Finally, received the passport and the T2 dependant visa today
What a relief!

Application submitted at VFS Chennai: 20 May
"Appln under process" message received on 25 May
"Passport couriered" message received on 11 June
Passport received on 12 June.

Gud luck to all!

Anyone out there who had recently got their dependant visa processed from Chennai BHC? Appreciate your feedback.

Thanks Daslimy1. I guess the timelines for all dependent visas (i.e., T1, T2 etc) are all the same. Do kindly update if you hear from the BHC.

Gud luck!

Hi, My wife had applied for her Tier 2 dependant visa on the 20th May 2010 from Chennai. I was of the impression that Tier 2 dependant visas dont take more than a week to get processed. This impression was further affirmed when my friend's wife got her dependant visa within a week (she had applied l...

Hi,
My wife applied for a tier 2 dependant on 20th May and the status is still with status "application under process". My friend's wife had applied in Apr and got it within 5 days. Thought this was the ave processing time... but doesnt look like. Cant wait for the status to change.

Hi, Congratulations !!!!! I am in a similar situation where my visa (work permit) expires in the first week of September and my company is willing to extend my visa under Tier 2 rules. I have few questions and I will appreciate if you can help me with it 1) How sooner can I apply for the extension?...

Yes, you would receive an email from the HO with the BRN the next working day post your online appointment booking. So, give it a day and you should have it.

Thanks!
Though I'm quite relieved now that I've got my visa, I wasn't clear when it came to providing the documentary evidence. Thought this might help someone who is extending their visa using transitional arrangements.

Hi there, For those of you who are looking for information on Transitional Arrangements, the below would be useful. I came to the UK in 2006 and have been working here since then. My WP expired in March 10 and my Visa expires sometime in May 10. Hence, my employer applied for a CoS under transitiona...
