Hi guys, I have a few questions about filling up the application form for the SET(LR) application hoping someone can help - Section C8 - Asks to provide my BRP Number. I took the number on the top right corner from my BRP. The format if which is - AA0000000. This adds up to 9 characters. But in the ...

Thank you for your reply. When I applied for my student visa last year, I had to go back to my country and apply from there - I came back within 2 months but I had to leave because my current visa was about to expire. So, I didn't have any tie with UK so to speak during that time. I had submitted my...

Hello all, I am a bit confused regarding which supporting documents to provide for my ILR long residence application after reading the application guidance and the guidelines for HO staff. My history is - 2007 - 2011 Student Visa (Bachelors Degree) 2011 - 2013 PSW 2013 - 2016 Tier 2 Work Permit 2016...

Thanks for the advice bro - i booked it the next day right after midnight and now waiting for cancellations so I can reschedule

Thanks for sharing your experience. I have also seen new slots open up for 10th October now after midnight. I understand new slots will be opening up everyday at midnight. But is there any possibility to get an earlier date? Is there any chance that an earlier date slot will open? Secondly, If I boo...

Hello everyone, I have put myself in a sticky situation by my shortsighted thinking that ILR premium service appointments are easily available - only now when I went on to book one, I realised the scarcity of it. I was hoping to get an appointment on 11th September - but I see that there are literal...

Thanks a lot for the reply. So, technically speaking, my 10 ILR completion date is 6th October - this means I can apply for ILR using premium service on 8th of September. If my visa is curtailed and the curtailment period ends on 10th of August, I can still overstay until 8th September, submit my ap...

Hi everyone, I have let myself in a bit of a tricky situation and desperately looking for some answers to help me prepare for what's coming. I am planning to apply for my 10 year ILR in October this year. I am currently on a tier 4 student visa doing a masters degree, which expires on January, 2018....

Thank you both for replying. Yes, I will definitely do my best not to get excluded - but I am preparing for the worst - as my long term future is at stake :( Just to clarify a bit further on the 60 days curtailment period. I have seen this in other posts and gov documents about the curtailment perio...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could advise me what what happens if, one gets excluded by their university. Basically, I am currently in UK on a tier 4 student visa. I am doing a masters degree. My degree finishes end of September and my visa expires end of January 2018. My stay in UK will be 10 year...

Hi everyone, I am confused whether or not there is a requirement to have a funding/maintenance when I apply for the ILR - 10 year route. I have read some topics but couldn't find a concrete answer to my situation. Background: I came to UK in 2007, October on student visa. Completed bachelors in 4 ye...

Hi, thank you for your reply wanderer, but the work is not necessarily being done in uK. Online work, website ad revenue - these are obviously done globally and not just in UK. I am physically present in UK, however, the website is designed through outsourcing from other countries, the revenue is ma...

Hi there, I have a bit of a complicated question which I was wondering if anyone can give their 2 cents on as I couldn't find the answer anywhere. I'm in UK on a tier 4 visa. I know that doing business either by owning a company or sole trading is not allowed while you are on tier 4 visa. I am looki...

any advice anyone? Would anyone please direct me to any documentation where I could find some information?

Hi all, I am exactly 1 year away from ILR. I am quite concerned regarding my past immigration history and whether or not this will affect my ILR application. Background: Bachelors degree: 2007 - 2011 PSW: 2011 - 2013 Tier 2: 2013 - 2016(July) Current status : Masters degree, which at the end of it w...

Hi all, Apologies for delay in letting everyone know, My tier 4 student visa was accepted! The case officer informed me at the end of the interview that she will be making the decision by the end of the day. I received my passport within two days (due to postal delays) - with the vignette of uk visa...

If the ECO believes the only reason for applying for a T 4 visa is to solely to gain access to ILR you will be deemed a non genuine student and refused. Given that IS the actual reason for applying you can expect a refusal..... Well, honestly, while the ILR will be a very amazing perk, I am actuall...

Thanks Greenie for all the answers - even though I'm now scared shitless, really appreciate your help. So, just to clarify, they can't refuse me just because of the mere fact that it will complete my 10 year period.. there has to be a reason which will demonstrate I'm not a genuine student - am I ri...

Hi CR001, would you please give me your thoughts on my questions? I know I am asking a lot of questions but having some idea about them will definitely help me in the interview...

Hi Mohammed, what do you mean by JR?

Any reason why you didn't try to find another tier 2 sponsor rather than leave and apply for Tier 4? I did apply for jobs and tried to get another sponsor - but couldn't get any job offer with employer sponsorship. The student visa seemed to be the only route left. I didn't know they made the appli...

Hi, i am currently living in UK under tier 2 employer sponsored visa which is due to expire in August, 2016. However, I am thinking of changing my job with a new employer as I am not happy at my current company. I understand that this requires my new potential employer to be able to sponsor me, assi...
