PHEW! Finally, 4 famous brown envelopes (for me, my wife and two sons) have brought glad tidings today! I phoned my MP last week and then she wrote a letter to HO. It seems that contact with the MP has worked. Our applications were absolutely straight forward. No points on driving licence! No tax i...

Hi ashwini_k

I submitted my application on 01/04/15 and Hammersmith NCS officer posted my application on 02/04/15.
HO received it on 07/04/15.... but I haven't heard anything from them yet.

I'm assuming that HO will take the payment next week.....fingers crossed!

I'll keep you guys posted.

Cheers

Hi Fwd079 Thanks for sharing HO doc in Vinny's previous post where it clearly states that the date of application is the date when HO receives the application. You're right. It seems interesting, but Hammersmith NCS Officer's statement that they have an arrangement with HO seems confusing and mislea...

Hi CR001 I along with my wife and tŵo under 10 kids applied for naturalisation via Hammersmith NCS yesterday 1/4/15. They told me that they would post my application to UKVI today 2/4/15 and the application would reach Home Office on Tuesday 7/4/15 and Home Office would accept it and take the old fe...

Hi Sak20099 CWs don't collect your file. At the registration desk, one of Home Office members of staff inputs your data into a computer and then asks you to hand in all your paperwork. It's up to you whatever you want to submit. I didn't submit my 5 years P 60s and any HMRC letters. However, I wrote...

Hi Shumaila Thanks. The cohabitation documents I submitted are as follows: 1. Council tax letters under the names of both of us (me and spouse) 2. Joint bank statements 3. Poll Cards (used for voting purposes, though our names appear on the poll cards separately, but it is an official proof of both ...

Hi folks First, thanks to Allah Almighty, and secondly to you guys who always contribute loads of info to this forum. My spouse, two kids and I were granted ILR after 15 minutes. It took the case worker 15 minutes to make a decision. I'll keep things short and sweet. Tier 1 General visa issued = 15 ...

Hi folks

Good news is that B1 certificate has arrived indeed. From now on, I'll be posting queries regarding SET 0 application form completion.

You guys have been awesomely fantastic!

Cheers

Hi Apam

You're absolutely spot on .... a brilliant idea. I'll phone the UKBA and inform you folks of their advice.

Cheers

Hi guys Thanks for your advice. Two more questions: You're right in saying that the English language qualification is a key requirement for the success of an ILR application. However, she was given a Trinity's letter stating that she has passed the B1 test. Q 1: Will the provisional pass result lett...

Thanks for your swift response, mate! Good luck with your ILR application on 31st. Does it mean that decision on the ILR application of all attendees will not be made on the appointment day? Or the case worker will make a decision on the main applicant and kids' applications. Anyone who has been in ...

Hi guys I'm in a difficult situation. I've got my appointment on 31 March 2014 for Tier 1 general . My wife's B1 certificate has not arrived yet. Trinity College London says that the certificate will be delivered on 2 April 2014. My documents along with two kids are ready. I've been trying hard to r...

Hi there

I've rescheduled three times. It's not a problem. However, Croydon and Birmingham are the hardest ones to grab a slot in two weeks' time.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for ur swift reply.

Cheers

Hi guys

Two quick ones:

Q 1:
If I reschedule my PEO appointment, will it cost me extra fee or the existing fee, which I have already paid, applies?

Q 2:
How many times can we reschedule our PEO appointment online?

Thanks

Hi guys, I've just finished booking Tier 1 ILR appointment at Cardiff PEO. While completing the online booking form, I entered my dependent's date of birth wrongly, as I did it in a hurry. I wonder if any one of you can tell me how to correct it. Shall I give a call to Cardiff PEO or Croydon PEO? Th...

Thanks, mate.

Q # 1. Can I apply for ILR before 6 April 2014? Q # 2. Will the new immigration rules a...

If I contribute 6 % of my salary to the pension plan, the employer will contribute 6% to my pension. Breakdown of the contribution is a sfollows: Company’s contr...

Hi folks There was a post by Gringo about the success of ILR at Croydon on 17 Jan 2013 titled Re: ILR success at Croydon 17 Jan 2014 . He had some tax issues, but at the time of ILR he didn't submit his previous tax history documents. All he submitted was 12 months payslips and bank statements. Most...

Hi mate. Sorry to hear that. Could you post more info about the case? 1. Did he show his self-employment or employment earnings or both at ILR time. 2. How much was the difference in amounts he showed to HMRC and HO... Was it a massive difference? Please give the figures if possible. 3. Did he pay l...
