thanks lucapooka, my landlady pays the council tax and electricity so i am hoping this will not be a problem.

all my P60s and payslips, bank and other bills however are addressed to me personally so i think this should be sufficient, do you agree as well?

hello, i am a a british citizen and i would like to bring my brother here for a week during august, do i use the family member appliaction form VAF1B?

if not which application am i supposed to use?

i am past the 3 months mark which i presume spells trouble.

let's try and figure this out, i have no criminal records or any other trouble whatsoever, there must something in common between us all that is delaying the application.

could it be:

country you're from?
previous martial status?

does it matter where you're from when you are considered for BC?

no one?

mine has taken more than 3 months already, i also thought my application was straight forward.

mind you i am probably the exception here, most people get it approved within two months

please update for those who are waiting for more than 3 months, as mentioned before i have no criminal record and been paying taxes all my time here

does it matter where you're from when you are considered for BC?

hello everyone,

any one wonders why some of us get approved within 6 weeks and others take a lot longer?

if we start sharing the common denominator between those of us who are waiting for more than 3 months then we can start to understand how this process works.

how long have you been here? if you have been in the UK lets say 9 years and you only had one minor offence then i think you have a good chance at appealing. i think it must have looked bad because you didnt pay at the time and not promptly , otherwise they would have ignored. dont lose hope, get ad...

Hi everyone. I will apply for BC in a week, but I have a BIG problem. I can't remember the required details of my ex-marriage.:oops: Her name and place of birth are the only things that I can recall as it was a bad marriage which took place 16 years ago when I was very young and lasted short of one...

"pending security checks" is just a general description of a stage that involves checks from various organisations. It can last several weeks to several months until the case is allocated to a case worker for a decision. Not sure what you are after but if this is an answer to where your application...

hi, i have applied for BC back in October, most of the people here who applied at the same time as me got their approval in December. i called HO last time and they said the application is still pending security checks and hasnt been allocated to a case worker. my case is straight forward, are thes...

so you're thinking it is completely random?! i have applied at the same time as 5 people in this forum and they got theirs before me, i feel left out

hi guys, either the process of applying for BC is completely random or there is some logic behind it, am i correct in thinking that someone from an EU country applying for BC will take less time than if that person was from the middle east? i dont understand why that is especially when we know that ...

I think it's not a question of pattern, it is partly luck but partly the application itself. Things like applicant citizenship, occupation/status (employed, unemployed, on benefits, tax situation...) do matter I think. One may think her/his application is straightforward because she/he meets all th...

The question doesn't actually ask the reason for the 'divorce'. It asks the reason for the marriage ending. In which case, 'divorce' would be sufficient..with the place and date as per the court divorce decree. Another reason could be 'annulment' for example. thanks, but it still doesnt make sense,...

hi all,
i have Permanent Residence stamp which i acquired when i was married to an EEA national, we have now divorced and since i am not an EEA national nor a family member of an EEA national, shall i be ticking 2.4 "Are you an EEA national or a family member of an EEA national" ?

thanks

hi all, i am filling out Form AN and just noticed they want to know the reason for why your previous marriage broke down? why do they need to know that, this is completely irrelevant to the application, there are 5 universal reasons as to why a marriage breaks down and if they need to check they can...

Just wanted to share my experience..if you live near passport office then you can hand in your application form in person rather than posting it. The benefits are that it arrives immediately and you save money!...All the best on your applications do you mean for people holding ILR and PR? where do ...

Hi You wrote "PR" rather than" indefinite leave to remain", so I assume she is married to an EEA national and obtained her PR via the EEA route. This is how I understand it: She obtained her PR status automatically on the fifth anniversary of marriage (provided her spouse was exercising his treaty ...

>>They just need my husband passport, P60 for the last 6 years and our marriage certificate I don't think so. If you obtained permanent residence and have a proof of that as either a stamp in your passport or a sticker in a PR card, they you have already proved the 5 year qualifying period for the ...

hi guys, i am asking on behalf of a good friend. she is a non-eu that had her PR in october 2010, -i hear acquired the earned citizenship has been abandoned, so no cut off data of june 2011, is this true? -she knows that she can apply 1 year after acquiring PR status but she is confused on the docum...
