Thanks CR001. So, I need to formally apply online, submit and pay on, say, 15 Sept 2019 (can i be outside UK that time?), which would be the application date. I needed to be in the UK on 15 Sept 2014. And if i visit HO on 25sept 2019, that is ok?
thank you, all noted!CR001 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2019 10:33 pmYou should apply while in the UK as you have to complete accurate absence details. I suggest you apply when you are back in the UK if you plan on traveling.
I have clearly said the date of application that ho counts is the date you submit and pay online. The date of your appointment with UKCVSA (not HO) is irrelevant. It is only a document check and biometric appointment with a third party agent (not HO).

1) Do two referees need to submit any kind of letter/declarations? I have put their details on the form.
Yes. They need to sign a declaration form.. Google it , “referees and identity” or you’ll get the chance to download it after submission.
2) Work over the past 10 years. I have been in the UK for the past 12 years. For the past 10 years, I am not able to remember/find some details and dates for part time jobs dating back over 8 years (kind of zero hours contracts via agency)
Well...that’s a pickle. You could ask HMRC but it’ll take time.
Just try to write as well as you remember.
3) If BRP card is lost right before the application is submitted - should i still submit and indicate as lost?
4) Arrival in the UK: When did you first arrive in the UK? –
The date you actually arrived in UK to potentially make it ur home.
As a background, I was on Entrepreneur visa for 5 years and on 1 year ILR. So if I submit application online on 15 sept 2019, should I indicate date of entry as 15 sept 2014 and the airport of entry (Heathrow)? As this is not when Entrepreneur visa was issued then. Should I choose the date backwards 5 years with actual physical arrival at the airport?
Thank you!

Yes, good friends for long time I mean, that's not a requirement for them to be a more distant relationship.
Distant relation wouldn't know you and your character, this is to testify that applicant holds a good character.

- I have arrived to the UK this morning and got passport stamped at airport with 23 sept date. Can i still apply today (ie will this properly count as in country or should i wait till tomorrow?)
Doesn’t matter..
- I have been physically present in the UK the same date 5 years ago (23 sept 2014 having arrived from holiday on 22 sept 2014).
Fine
- I am well under 450 days absence over past 5 years and under 90 days in the final 12 months on ILR. However i had many trips and they do not all fit on the application form so i will submit additional A4 paper with additional trips to fit them all in the last 5 years. Is that the right approach?
The online form doesn’t have space?!?
You scan and upload all stamped pages of all (relevant, i.e. since your UK arrival date) passports and then take them with you for checking when you attend your biometrics appointment at UKVCAS. You'll keep your passports.Or, should i leave a passport with them? Also, I had it for 2 past years only, and the previous passport for 5 years. Do i leave an older passport with them in that case, or its copy?
You upload both your passports and every page that has stamps on! You no longer give your originals in!!sky_rise wrote: ↑Thu Sep 26, 2019 8:24 pmmany thanks for responses. indeed there is only a limit to first 30 entries, and i have in excess of 50.
a quick question. I have submitted a form online and paid for appointment, no free ones. If as a non-EU i do not need to submit and leave my passport with them, as i keep it, how do they calculate absence days and how does it serve as a proof of being in the UK/absence days? Or, should i leave a passport with them? Also, I had it for 2 past years only, and the previous passport for 5 years. Do i leave an older passport with them in that case, or its copy?
thanks

For BC your qualifying period is the last 5 years only.sky_rise wrote: ↑Thu Sep 26, 2019 9:14 pmthank you for quick responses. wow, all pages that is total 100 pages...i travel a lot for work and had 2 45-pages passports in the last 6 years, both finished, 2 blank pages left.
Just to clarify: i only need passports and their pages corresponding to the last 6 years of stay (citizenship based on tier 1 5 years plus 1 year ilr). i do not need all pages going back to 2006 when i first arrived, right? i have no way to obtain it.
Thank you CR001. I have copied all pages for all passport to be uploaded, fit in 2 single files.

Are there any other documents that might require uploading more than just one page?
I am providing
- UK Bachelors degree certificate 1 page (do not provide transcript and university letter confirming award?)
- LITUK certificate (1 page)
- Marriage certificate 1 page copy Why are you submitting this? Is your spouse British??
- current and previous passport - all pages, 45 each, 2 pdf files
- 1 BRP ILR copy (both sides of BRP scanned on same 1 page).
- copy of application form Not required. You only need to submit the Online form, HO do not require a print out.
- checklist
- appointment booking form
That is all that is required as i see. Anything missed?
thank you!

My wife is not British, but her details were included on the form alongside questions on when and where we got married.CR001 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 27, 2019 10:40 amsky_rise wrote: ↑Fri Sep 27, 2019 10:35 amThank you CR001.
