Hi

I want to write an invitation letter for my parents who are applying for a 2-year visitor visa. What dates should I put as they will be visting multiple times in those 2 years. Is there a template or any guidelines? Any advice and guidance will be helpful

Thanks,
Priya

Are super priority appts open now? how soon are appts available in croydon/southampton? - anyone who has applied recently?

Hi,

My husband initially had a Tier 2 General Visa and he has since received Indefinite Leave to remain (in 2019).

My current visa is a dependant visa on his Tier 2 General visa. Which application form do I need to fill to apply for my ILR application? Is it Set (O) or Set (M)?

Thanks

No as your applications are separate. There is no need to be there together No original document is taken from you Not even my passport and BRP? Correct Hi can someone answer a new question. Should i enter my immigration history and absenses from the period of 5 years or the date I entered the uk o...

Unclear when your visa expires or what service your spouse is using for their ilr. Might be useful to state this. There is no requirement that you must apply at the same time he applies for ilr if you still have sufficient visa validity If you don't pay the required £1200 IHS your application will ...

The visa is issued for the length that is stated in the CoS. So if CoS is for 3 years, it is a 3 year visa. Then a new CoS is needed for X number if years, usually 2 or 3 years, to get an extension. Thank you, this is very helpful. One more Q regarding IHS. My husband is applying for ILR at the sam...

Possible but then an initial visa for 6 years would have been issued and a second extension after 3 years would not have been required.

So does a CoS last for the length of a visa?

It would have been a new cos for the extension, likely the "up to 3 years"

Can one CoS be valid for 6 years?

Hi, On the PBS and Appendix W Dependant Partners form, in the field, "What is the length of your spouse's Certificate of Sponsorship(CoS)?", I am not sure which of the answers I should choose. My husband has been with his company for 6 years, the first CoS was for 3 years. The second time, company a...

i. I'm applying for my ILR online (SET O) and have entered all the dates for absences outside UK on the online form. Should I also attach a spreadsheet detailing the absences along with my application? No ii. My contracted paid annual leaves are 26, but for some years it exceeded 30 days due to tim...

Is this related to the application you (or your wife) asked previously ?

A continuous absences period of more than 180 days breaks the continuous lawful residence in the UK so the ILR will be refused. Discretion is rarely applied when there were exceptional circumstances and no, the 'absences due to work' will not qualify as exceptional circumstances In this guidance (h...

Yes there doesn't seem to be much guidance in the online form. Done filling my husband's ILR form and halfway through mine. The first question it asks when you filled your own pbs extension form is “person you are joining” isnt it?? Yes but I thought that to mean "Person I am joining in the UK" ins...

Thanks for the answer. 1 more question is that I need to provide the main applicant's passport and BRP with my PBS dependant application. How would I do that if both of us get different dates of application, as we have to fill our online forms seperately? The form will tell you which details to pro...

Hi, My husband is due to apply for ILR, and I have to apply for a PBS Dependant extension. 1. How do we connect both applications? PBS extension form will ask about the main applicant’s details you are joining e.g. name, BRP number etc 2. We would like to apply at the same time but seems like we ca...

7 months for work will be living in yes.

Ok thanks, we will add that. And it shouldn't be a problem as it is more than 180 days absence? We are getting a letter from his employer confirming he was away on work.

Please keep all your questions in one thread for proper advice. I am assuming those 7 months were scattered through the 5 year period e.g. 1 month, 3 weeks etc. So then no he was not living there at that time. or was it in one go?? He was still employed by his employer in the UK and was away on wor...

It was in one go.

Hi my husband is applying for ILR. He was seconded to another country for 7 months in the 5 year period by his UK employer, which we have mentioned in the absences from the UK section. Do we also need to mention this country as a country of residence under the section where we are asked, "Have you p...

We would like to apply at the same time but seems like we can't under his SET(O) application. If I start another application (PBS Dependant - Partner), do I need his ...
