Thanks for responses. We've scanned all the pages of passport in colour. Will it be fine or do we need to do it in black&White only? Also for proof of living in UK is passport sufficient? As it contains entry/exit stamps or shall we provide P60 or other similar documents? For proof of freedom from i...

Hi, Would we need to submit the original passport with our application or do we need to just scan it? As passport is the proof for being in the UK for last 3 years, do we need to scan each and every page?

Thanks

Hi, My wife is applying for naturalization and she has just submitted online form and made payment. We booked a free appointment through Sopra Steria. They are asking to upload the documents but it was also mentioned somewhere they provide upload for a fee but we couldn't find that service. It only ...

Hi, Just to update if it is useful for anyone that my wife got her ILR. We applied for her extension using online form and paid fee + IHS fee. At the end they mentioned you can submit your documents in 3-4 weeks time and also enrol for biometric. We didn't submit the documents and not enrolled for b...

Hi, My wife is going to apply for her naturalization and we are stuck at employment question. I've a limited company and my wife is an employee in it. She receives salary and registered for self assessment and my accountant file her return. We are confused a bit that do we need to tick she is self-e...

I think this counts as renting and rent is kind of included as part of her salary. So I think you can write a cover letter explaining that accommodation is included in her remuneration package and employer's letter confirms it. Don't think you need to provide photo id of employer.

Here is what I found from the Immigration Rules Appendix KoLL from link: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration-rules/immigration-rules-appendix-koll I think following applies in our case: iv) the applicant has obtained an academic qualification (not a professional or vocational qualification) whic...

You need EITHER the B1 test OR the UK NARIC UKVI Red Route, ELA at level B1 at the minimum and Comparable Assessment. It costs £150, same as the 10 minute English test. Hi CR001, Thanks for your reply but I can't find any documentation where it says I need NARIC letter for medium of instruction wit...

Hi, My spouse needs to apply for ILR visa and for english language requirement we are thinking of using NARIC letters we've got but wanted to check if they'll be enough for ILR or not?

Hi CR001, Thanks for your reply so it doesn't apply in my case then? Can you please comment for my other post about applying for ILR instead of varying application and ignoring first biometric letter to overcome shortfall?

Thanks, I'll go with the vary application route then. Just out of interest can you please let me know how can they put her to 10 year route?

Hi Guys, One of my friend mentioned that my wife can apply for ILR direct and once biometric letter is received we ignore that and HO will send another letter after 15-20 days that way we will get extra days and her 5 years will complete. According to him HO send biometric letter three times. I wasn...

Thanks. No we would not want to go premium as it is a lot of money and we are not in a hurry to travel anywhere. Can you please also let us know if my wife would need to sit in English exam? Last time for extension application in 2016, we sent NARIC letter of comparability and english language state...

Many thanks thats what I was referring to, that she will complete her 5 years on 13th Feb 2019 as she entered UK on 14th Feb 2014 but her first visa was issued on 20th Aug 2013 hence the shortfall. So that means she can apply 28 days before 13th Feb 2019 yeah? That will mean we will submit extension...

The last one which says the poster can apply within 28 days before completing 5 years period. Or am i missing something?

Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I was looking at the following forum post and advice given there. Is that incorrect?

indefinite-leave-to-remain/5-years-spou ... 56103.html

Thanks both for your replies. I've read the document you specified and I think the leave will be extended under 3C would that mean she can vary application as soon as there are 28 days before her 5 year period completes? Or does she need to wait till 13th Feb when her 5 years will complete? Also the...

Hi, I am in a similar situation. Can you please let me know how the varying application process work? My wife will be applying for extension and then varying to ILR. As we need to submit all original documents with the first application does that mean when we submit the ILR application they'll get a...

Any one?

Hi, I've searched through some of the topics here on the forum and it appears we can apply for ILR if 5 years are completed on the date of decision. Is that right? Or someone suggested we could put an application for extension then vary it to ILR. Can anyone experienced comment on it please? Many Th...
