Hi Sonu, My application was self+dependent. And I booked my appointment around 40/42 days earlier. You need to keep trying to get the slot. The trick is to try it after 12:00 at night. You will definitely get some slots at that time. My first booking was at Croydon. Luckily, next night I found a slo...

I just have a small query. Did you submit any letter from your employer stating number of UK absences (whether work related or not) I had one letter prepared from my current employer but they did not ask for any letters..... :D As I said, if you go to Solihull you dont have the option to submit all...

Hello friends and Gurus, Just got our ILR approved this morning from Solihull PEO. It took only 20 minutes to get the documents checked in the counter and to get a verbal GREEN signal. Then Biometrics were taken as usual... hour and a half wondering around the town.... 12:15 went back and papers wer...

Thanks alanwong I wouldn't be able to prepare my docs in such a way without the help of this forum. I really appreciate the effort of all the members and seniors of this forum to help each other out by sharing individual experiences and knowledge. I just wanted to get some sort of reassurance from t...

Everyone seems really busy or do not want to help me anymore

Life in the UK is the only requirement.

Thank you very much pegakrishna for the correction. Yes in my letter I do have a column mentioning the departure and arrival stamp page number of the passport. I have already contacted the Council to include my wife's name in the council tax bill. And of course tenancy agreement is a good idea to in...

Hi all, This is the only forum helped me out in my last extension. So I am back again with my queries for the upcoming ILR application. My status in brief: Tier1 general: 04 July 2008 for 3 years Got married and brought my wife in UK in October 2010 as dependent. Both applied for extension on June 2...

One form with your dependents detail in the dependent section will be fine.

So in question 6.3 which box shall the person tick? Other ? and write in box below to state that a personal letter is provided as letters from the employer does not cover all the absences OR state any other valid reason for this? Because, if I understand it right, the second option with Letter from ...

It is now clear that Tier1 (G) will also be required to provide letters for all work related absences. Evidence of all work-related absences (including paid annual leave) is required from those applying under Tier 1 (General) Still the question remains, it is asking evidence of all work related abse...

Hi Sheraz7,

I spoke to them on the day of my test and they were unable to do any corrections. Only thing they could do (which they did) is to put a note on the system for UKBA.

Please dont tell me to do the test again as it is changed now completely

Hello mohmedarif,

Thanks for the link. My situation is different than this person. His name was swapped. But in my case the first part (MD) is missing which doesnt match with my passport or BRP card.

I am just a bit tensed as what will happen. would they stop processing my application and send me back the passport to get it re...

Yes, this about in country application.

Hi mvent00 Thanks for your reply. I had a little debate with my friends on this issue. The debate is basically between the first part and the third part. My argument is that the first part should be filled by my wife to say that she is giving consent to the UKBA that she has obtained my permission t...

Hi Just a little bit confused about the section 5 of the PBS Dependent form. As I am the main applicant and I am providing the bank documents for my wife, which part needs to be completed as to give consent to UKBA. I am sure the second part is not for us as we are not holding a joint account, and k...

Hi Just wanted to clarify myself about a point in the tier1 policy guidence. In paragraph 120 it is said that (We consider that payslips and letters from an employer are from the same source and an applicant should therefore not provide a combination of these two types of document.) As some of the p...
