You can apply after five years of lawful residence, 3 years on visa and 2 years on ILR. The 5+1 scenario is based on getting ILR after five years on visa.

Thanks a million

Hi Folks, First of all, a BIG BIG thanks to this wonderful forum for helping hundreds and thousands during their immigration journey and solving some really complicated cases. Second, a brief about my case. I was on a GTV visa and got my ILR (after 3 years) in 2021. My question is very simple and sh...

Hi Vinny, Thank you for the prompt reply. Could you please give me any reference to the citizenship rule that I cannot apply for citizenship before 5 years? This is rather absurd to know that one cannot apply for citizenship before 5 years when the Home Office is encouraging early ILR based on the e...

Hello Everyone, First of all, I wanted to thank this forum and everyone here, especially the moderators, who have helped me during the visa and ILR process from the beginning. Secondly, here is my case right now. I have received my ILR while on GTV Visa and had an endorsement from the Royal Society...

Hi CR001 Thank you so much for your reply. Just to confirm if I have understood it correctly, My dependents are on PBS Dependent visa at the moment and I am on GTV. So, the link provided in your post is going to extend their current PBS dependent visa or is it going to switch from PBS dependent to G...

Hi fredprvn, I have been posting a few follow up questions to my original post. Following is my query and I would appreciate it if you or manci or CR100 or anyone relevant can clear this for me then I can quickly apply for my dependents extension. My case summary right now is: I am on a GTV visa and...

Hi CR001, gtv007, manci or anyone who is familiar in GTV. It would be really appreciated if you could shed some light on my yesterday's post and I can apply for the extension? Kind regards. 1. You can apply for ilr at any time once you meet the requirements and must apply before your visa expires. 2...

Hi gtv007, CR001, manci and the rest of the experts, Hope you all are doing well. I have a follow-up question, please. My case summary right now is: I am on a GTV visa and will be eligible for ILR in Feb/2022. My Wife and Children are on a T2 Dependent visa and need an extension for another 03 years...

Hi, Yes, IMHO, Sr. Lecturer UK offer letter is 100% acceptable for GTV. Apply for Promised and a week decision and you will get the endorsement. Make sure that the institute is on Royal Society approved list. Rest all will be OK. Best of luck. Hi everyone, I have been offered a new position as a sen...

Thank you CR001, you are a life saver as always :) Regards. 1. You can apply for ilr at any time once you meet the requirements and must apply before your visa expires. 2. Tier 4 student cannot be added She needs 5 years on PBS dependent visa to qualify for ILR. Student visa can only be used for ilr...

Thank you gtv007, I believe I was unable to put my questions forward in a more clearer manner. Let me rephrase them to make it more clear and appreciate if you (manci/fred or anyone who has similar GTV experience) can shed some light please. My current GTV visa is valid till 3/2025. However, I will ...

Hi Manci, Fred and the rest of the Folks, I have a few follow up questions, if you can reply back to me please. My ILR period will be somewhere in December/2021. Do I have to apply for ILR 28 days before completing 3 years continuous residence in December 2021 or I can apply for ILR at a later date?...

Thanks Fred, a million :) Cheers. Is there any working hours per week limit in GTV? Can I work for multiple employers fulltime at the same time? What if I am working fultime with one and also doing freelancing? In this case, do I need to register at HMRC? there are no restriction on work (except for...

Hi manci,

Any pro-tips please?

Hi manci and everyone else, Until now I haven't heard back from them. I have a follow up query about the working conditions on this visa. I have been trying to locate policy documents for this but couldn't find any. Is there any working hours per week limit in GTV? Can I work for multiple employers ...

I have contacted them again. Lets see if they will reply back in time. Thanks manci for your wonderful help. Cheers you need to pursue the question under what circumstances your endorsing body could withdraw its endorsement and whether this may apply to you. Read also the HO Code of Practice, para 3...

Hi manci, Yes, I even sent emails and phoned couple of times but unable to get this information. So, I am really confused at the moment. Although it is written that you can change or stop doing the job, but is this going to effect the endorsement, is my primary concern. What could be the best soluti...

Hi manci or anyone who can shed some light please?

Thanks again

Hi manci and everyone, Hope you all are in good spirit. I got my GTV visa today (thankfully) valid till 31/04/2025. I have a quick follow up query. As the endorsement was from Royal Society was based on the offer which I received, is it really necessary to join the same employer to be eligible for I...

Hi Sudip1985, I just got my decision letter in my inbox. My appointment was on 29th last month. You should hear from them shortly because everything got delayed due to 4 days of easter+bank holiday break. Wish you all the best mate. Hi Sudip1985, Have you received any reply yet? I also applied for p...

Hi Sudip1985, Have you received any reply yet? I also applied for priority service (5 days decision), but haven't heard anything. Sadly, the home office helpline is useless because they are some third party people handling customer support without having access to the Visa Applications. not really, ...

Hi manci, Thank you so much for your continuous help and support. If I will not be working for the same employer who has given me the supporting letter for endorsement at the time of the ILR (or before that), what effect this would make on the ILR application outcome? Leaving the job from the employ...

Hi manci, It will be much appreciated if you could second the following, please? Thanks a million for your wonderful support :) Hi Manci and Everyone, Thanks for your wonderful support. I have decided to take the following route for GTV to cover everything until ILR for myself and for my dependents....

Hi Manci and Everyone, Thanks for your wonderful support. I have decided to take the following route for GTV to cover everything until ILR for myself and for my dependents. Could you please advise if this is good? I will apply to GTV for 4 years starting in 03/2021. My dependents will switch to GTV ...

Hi manci, Thanks for replying back. Is it allowed for my dependents to allow for their extension dependent visa at the same time when I will be applying for my ILR in 12/2021? As there are some 10 months before your dependants' visas expire and you are able to apply for ILR there is plenty of time t...
