Hi My wife is going to apply for the ILR next month. She has passed the life in the UK test, but in 2 years ago even before she got the dependent VISA. The reason why she took the exam too early is that I thought she can apply as my dependent 2 years ago when I apply for my own ILR. She wasn't able ...

Sorry. Spell Mistake. I mean Certificate of Naturalisation.

It is the certificate people receive after they attend the Citizenship ceremony. It is a certificate of naturalisation as a British Citizen. It is required when applying for a British passport for naturalized British Citizen.

Hi I am going to apply for the British passport using my Certificate of naturalisation. The envelop IPS provide via Post Office is a half-A4 envelop. If I use that envelop I have to fold my Certificate of naturalisation. I can certainly put it in my own A4 envelop. But I cannot guarantee the certifi...

Hi

THanks for your reply.

But the form specifies if I am self employed, I have to provide the self assessment form. Should I send my application with a cover letter explaning this?

The start date of this visa is June 2005, the date when I got it.

Hi

Thanks for the reply.

I actually changed the VIsa from a student visa to a work visa under work permit arrangement. I got the visa while I am in the UK.

Hi,

I am a Tier 1 Visa holder. I recently moved home. Can anyone let me know if I need to submit the "Change of Circumstance" form to UKBA to let them know my new address?

I understand I need to report police station about the move. Do I need to acknowledge UKBA as well?

Many thanks.

How is the document returned? I didn't enclose a SD envelop. Will they send it by first class recorded?

Hi, I applied Tier 1 (G) on 18th Feb. I phoned the call centre to check my progress. The call representive told me "something has been sent out for you" and gave me a tracking number.

Ref Received: 20th Feb
Documents received: 7th April

Many thanks for your help.

Is today a public holiday (3rd April)? They normally update the waiting time in the evening of Friday. Why did they updated it earlier? Does it mean they are not processing any applications today?

Hi, Thanks for your reply.

The reason is I have already submitted my application.

I submitted one current account and one savings account (HSBC flexible saver).

Hi,

Someone told me that we can only use current account statements as maintenence fund evidence. Because home office thinks that money in the savings account is not something "accessible".

Is this true?

Regards.

Is a printout of the point based calculator result required for in-country application?

Do we need to provide this for in-country applications? I didn't include this in my application package.

Any ideas about what I should do? Should I send a letter to HO to clarify this?
