Dear experts, Here's my situation: My route: TIer 1 --> ILR --> British Citizen Wife: Tier 1 Dependant entry clearance --> Tier 1 Dependant extension after I got ILR --> extension needed for 6 months to complete 5 years --> ILR Could you please confirm if she can still get extension as a tier1 depen...

Hi foufou, May I ask why your initial application for naturalisation was declined? Hi foufou, Thank for the update. Could you please share what legal advice you've been given - in a generic way of course. Are you going for a judicial review? If so, is this after 90 days have passed since your decisi...

Hi foufou, Thank for the update. Could you please share what legal advice you've been given - in a generic way of course. Are you going for a judicial review? If so, is this after 90 days have passed since your decision? Just interested in knowing how it works. Regards tomorrow will be 3 months sinc...

Thanks for the interpretation Siraj, makes sense. I've noticed they deduced the fees (£80) for reconsideration from my debit card on 23/10/15. Hoping they'll resolve it soon. If not resolved in 8 weeks, will initiate the pre action protocol followed by judicial review if necessary. Hi smacky, I thin...

Hi Obie, Not sure what you're referring to as their policy? Do you mean reconsideration in light of new evidence? I didn't submit this part of my naturalisation application (and many other visas before this) as I expected them to know this being the respondents in the case and having issued a visa b...

Hi Obie, Could you please advise on what a "pre action protocol" is? Is it notification of one's intention to pursue a judicial review to the Home Office through a lawyer? If so, can I send that while the application is under reconsideration assuming the decision won't change? Thanks. You should not...

Hi all, I received correspondence from the Home Office stating that my application has been refused. The reason stated is that in 2008, I was served with an IS151A as I was allegedly seeking to gain leave by deception as a student. As such, the Home Secretary deems I do not meet the good character r...

Hi josekumar,
I'm in a similar situation as you. Could you please advise on what you sent? Is it okay to apply using PBS dependant form even though the main applicant has switched from Tier 1 (General) to ILR? Thanks.

Dear all, I am due for ILR in April but my wife is not. She is currently a PBS dependant (Tier 1 General). 1) Is it possible for me to get a PEO appointment, get my ILR, and then for her to apply for PBS dependant visa extension? Or does she have to apply for FLR once I get my ILR? 2) Our visas expi...

As she is currently a PBS dep then she should extend as a PBS dep (click) as you are applying for ILR as a PBS applicant under paragraph 319C (b) (iii) (1), and she will be eligible for ILR after 5 years as a PBS dep. Thanks Amber. I have a few questions after reading the form: 1) Do the £600 need ...

When did your spouse get leave as a PBS dep and when did she enter the UK.

Thanks for your reply Amber. My wife got her visa stamped on 10/10/12 and she entered the UK 12/11/12.

anyone?

Dear all, I am currently on Tier 1 (General) visa and will be applying for ILR in April 2014. My first question is regarding evidence of absences from the UK. I have only been absent from the UK on paid annual leave from my employers and have not been outside the UK for more than 30 days in any give...

Hi all, I'll be eligible for ILR in May'14 but my wife won't, I intend on applying FLR(M) for her. Appointment: ---------------- When booking a premium PEO appointment online, can I select "family group" and take her with me on the same appointment? I will, ofcourse, use SET(O) for myself and FLR(M)...

Thanks for the reply. As I've switched 3 employers in the past 5 years, it'd be abit hard for me to get letters but I do have employment contracts that state annual leave eligibility of 25 days.
Do you think that'll suffice along with bank statements & payslips?

I'm on Tier1 General and have not been absent for more than 180 days.

All my holidays were paid annual leave. Would my payslips suffice? The payslips don't separately mention holiday pay but the pay is the same as other months during which I haven't been on holiday.
Is that enough evidence?

Hi, If I earn enough to fulfill my points requirement at the time of my initial Tier-1 application in the 12months prior to filing my ILR application, I know I'll get ILR. But if I am unemployed at the time of applying for ILR even though I've earned enough in the past 12 months, would that be an is...

Hi,
I know people who get spouse visas sponsored by their British spouse have to travel by a certain date.. is there any such restriction for Tier 1 (General) dependants? Do they have to travel within 28 days of the visa being issued or can they travel whenever they want?

Thanks.

could you please provide a link to a guide lines to the same effect which i can perhaps refer to along with a covering letter in the application? See the link http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/policyandlaw/immigrationlaw/immigrationrules/appendixe/ Why can't you write a mail to the HO as in the lin...

Hi, I've been working in the UK for 3 years and am going to sponsor my wife from outside the UK. DO I need to show 900+600 = 1500 or just 600 as maintenance funds for the past 90 days? Thanks. I guess you are applying only for your wife. As per rules- 600 pounds ( http://www.immigrationboards.com/v...

You have already said that this is not necessary and yet still intend to provide it. Therefore I don't understand why you are now looking to somehow reduce the burden of undertaking this completely voluntary measure. Let me restate. Would a tenancy agreement under my name for a single room prove in...
