Any suggestions? I did write to UKVI but their response was (I assume they did not even look at my query in detail) to submit new application and pay visa fees and IHS fees (seems like a standard response for any queries)

Dear forum members, I am in a confusing situation with regards to IHS. Following might help understand: My wife's partner visa application appointment is on 07-Mar-2016 in Delhi (in the future). I did an application and paid visa fee and IHS fee. I had to cancel this application due to a field that ...

You're probably right. I'll think about this in a bit more detail. However, in case we do decide to wait another month do you know if the application date is when documents are submitted at VFS center or when we submitted the application online (in which case I'll have to go through the painful proc...

Thank-you for responding CR001 however since my current employment is only 5 months old I do not have 6 months payslip and bank statements. So, I'm providing the details of my limited company for the period before that. Do you think this is Ok?

Thanks.

Forgot to mention I have ILR visa.

Hello forum members, My wife came to UK on a visitor visa in Dec-2015 (as we had recently got married and settlement visa takes time so we thought it best for her to join as visitor). She went back to India in Jan-2016 and we are now applying for her settlement visa. I have the following queries: 1....

Thanks CR001

Thanks CR001 for the clarification. Would you by any chance know if the processing times remain same throughout the year or there are times when visas get processed quickly? I tried to look at data for various places but couldn't conclude anything.

Dear All, This forum was really helpful when I was applying for my ILR (that was in 2012) so I'm returning here to get your advice on how best to progress for my fiance's visa. We've got engaged last month in India and the marriage is in November this year. My fiance is in India and has never been t...

Thanks for your responses. I've not made up my mind about naturalisation so as far as the ILR visa has no issues in me returning within 2 years I'm quite Ok.

Also check Returning residents

Thanks iD. Does anyone have an experience of whether they ask for any proof of such absences at the immigration when you return?

Hi, I was granted ILR in Dec-2012 and then had to travel outside UK for work in Feb-2013. Due to my work it looks like I'll be away for atleast a few more months. As per my understanding the rules are that I can stay outside UK for up to 2 years with the ILR without having any issues in returning. H...

Have you received your BRP?

Not yet. Still waiting. Were you expecting yours around same time or was your case approved around same time?

Thanks in advance for your help..

Hi salf27,

I will upload the actual letter later however I have provided the contents of the letter in one of my posts above.

Hi All, My current Visa is work permit from 2007 - 2009 and Tier2 thereafter with the latest one being Tier2 (ICT). Hi sy2012, Can you confirm when was your Tier2 ICT approved? Was it before or after April 2011? I came to UK in Sep 2007 on a Work permit. Since then my visa has been extended twice. ...

Thanks for your reply sy2012. I am unable to understand point 5 , details of work related absence. If this letter state that how many you were present. Can you please explain in details. Is this acceptable to ukba? Probably seniors can comment. 2013 Yes, my letter only provides the details of when ...

Hi sy2012 As your thread titile says ' Tier 2 ICT visa Gap', was there any gap in your visa? I am asking this as I have a gap in my visa and wanted to know if anybody has hpt thier ILR apporved with visa gap ? I have provided the details in the edit section at the end. However for your reference my...

What if there is no gap and applied a new visa in out side of the country before current visa expires, will that be treated as continuous residency? Example: Worked in UK from June 2008 to March 2010 and visa will be expired in April 2010. New visa applied and received in March 2010 out side of the...

I have the similiar case and there is gap in my visa for more than 28 days. The reason due to which I couldnt apply for my next visa to do with my health as I was completele bed rest for 2 months. I am not sure if CW can use his discretion but planning to go for it in janurary. Please let me know i...

Is there any discretion on which this 28 days gap can be ignored ie if I show that my cos was applied within 28 days and I had intention to come back, is there any chance? Not to deter you from pursuing your case but following is the guidance on calculating continuous period in UK for ILR (you can ...
