Thanks

now my husband has his ILR when he is filling in forms and they ask the question ARE YOU SUBJECT TO IMMIGRATION CONTROL does he still need to say yes?

Applied for my husbands ilr on friday at cardiff PEO all went well apart from they had increased the fee from £1250 to £1350 on the 6th april so was a but surprised but had to pay. Very happy with the service but we booked the appointment 3 weeks ago so we should pay the price advertised, we got n...

thanks for the reply, glad i don't have to photocopy the application form, and think i will just photocopy the the doucments they have asked for but not all the back up bank statements as that will cost a fortune!
good luck hjnmalik for the 1st april, let me know how u get on.

ok, i did think i may be going over the top with the bank statements! do we need to make a photocopy of the application form though?

that has put my mind at ease, thanks casa

thanks for the reply, i do have loads of backup documents but have put them in the same file so might seperate them now as i have put in 2 years of bank statements. i guess i am worrying over silly things! Also i know we need to photocopy original documents do they also need a photcopy of the applic...

My husband is applying for his ILR as a spouse and we are going to the cardiff office in person, i am so nervous as his first visa 3 years got turned down and had to go through appeal courts etc does anyone have any epxerinces they could share about going to the cardiff office to apply, were the sta...

Mu husband is applying for his indefinte and we are going to the Cardiff office in person to apply, i have spent a lot of time orgainsing all the documents needed and have put them in a ring binder with an index at the front so the immigration advisor can find everything, however someone told me tha...

Thanks guys, we are applying in april in person at cardiff so will let u know how it goes, I'm so worried and excited just want it over with!

My husband came to uk on a spouse visa, he is now applying for his indefinte. I didn't change my surname to his surname when we got married so our documents have my maiden name on it will this look bad for the application?

i won't be having a legal rep as can't afford one so will be putting the file together myself. where can i get it translated and how much does it cost?
is there anyone you can call from UK Border agency to ask questions about the form?

we will be applying in person so do you think its worth the time and money of getting it translated and taking it with us, i don't really want to take any risks.

just been reading through the application form SET M and unless i have made a mistake it says that you only need to send in your marriage certifficate if you didn't intitally come to the UK on a marriage visa and got married whilst staying here. My husband applied for a spouse visa and is now applyi...

My husband is applying for his ILR in april but our marriage certifficate is in French, how do we get it translated in order to for it to go into the application? and roughly how much does it cost

to fill in the appilcation form do you have to download it from the website and then print it off? or can you fill it online? is there an advantage of appyling in person rather than by post?

im in Plymouth but will give those guys a call. thanks

how do we go about that?

my husband is on a spouse visa and we applied for working tax credits and they said the same thing, that as we are a couple as long as one is British it is ok, however my husbands ILR and we are going to cancel our working tax credits and housing benefit as he was previously refused 2 years ago on t...

another question!
It says to provide our marriage certtifcatte but as we got married in Guinea, Africa it is all in French will they accept this, if not what do i have to do?

cool, thanks

also my husband has 3 points of his license for speeding does he have to put this on the application under crinimal offences and does it make his application look really bad?
thanks for all the advice

thanks for the reply, we have lots of bills and accounts in joint names so thats no problem and we are looking into the life in the UK test which i think costs about £35. But if we want to apply in person how far in advance do you have to make the appointment if you do it on line. im just so scared...
