It should be valid on the day you apply and submit your application online

No, you cannot use the initial submission date as that is irrelevant. Your qualifying period starts from the first visa approval date only. You have less than 5 years on your visa as the visa was issued until the end date of the COS. You and your dependants need an extension to cover up the shortfal...

To secure ILR under private life rules for such a child, it should be proven that it is unreasonable to expect the child to leave the UK. However, the case law has shown that when neither parent has independent right to remain in the UK , this requirement often cannot be met: Most notably, a child w...

Thanks for the reply. Yes, child can be registered as British but I don't want to get in to that route to apply for British Citizenship as i am planning to leave UK in another 4 years. As me and wife are in ILR status, i want ILR for our child too. Queries: 1. Which form we need to use for apply IL...

Hi, I am living in UK from Aug04,2019 in Tier 2 visa and am planning to apply ILR soon. My first UK visa entry clearance date is 15/July/2019 and my entry date is 04/Aug/2019. When am I eligible to apply ILR? Is it 28 days before 15/July or the date of entry 04/Aug? Thanks. The date of entry is irr...

Thank you so much Zimba for such a quick response. With reasons, I was referring to the reason section where you fill in your absences with which country/which dates and reason. What would be the best to describe that longer period? You do not need to provide any detailed reasons. Holiday/visit is ...

Also while I told you above that no documents are specified to be provided, it is good to provide some evidence that your child is still dependent on you for support, whatever you have to prove they are not leading an independent life

God bless you, final follow up question: 1) does the bank need to stamp anything or for example issue a letter? or does the electronic bank statment along with the electronic interm statment suffice 2)Do I merge them into one document or two separate files sorry I am just unfamiliar with the best a...

Those answers are OK. They are immaterial to the outcome of the application. Follow what I told you above

You do not need to provide any reasons or letters from previous employers

All you need to know about the sponsor letter for Skilled Worker route

That guide covers ALL the immigration routes and what you quoted does NOT apply to the long residence when you leave the UK with valid leave !!! What you quoted is true for OTHER immigration routes (the long residence is the exception) I showed you where you must look. This is why that example clear...

You are amazing zimba, I have a final urgent query. I received my bank statment from 3rd to 30 May for some reason but my salary gets paid 1st june from barclays. Can I order an interm statment up to today and submit it along with the previous bank statament or what can I do ?

Yes

Part 1 and 2 will be signed by you. Part 3 is ignored

1. I have not seen specific documents that are needed.

2. Only the current BRP is needed for ANY application. This is also true for you and ALL applicants. Old BRPs have no value.

3. The consent form should be signed by the applicant

Please read the advice given in that link again. You do NOT need 5 full years to get ILR

The date of the decision will be considered !

How to apply early and benefit from the date of the ILR decision ?

If you left the UK with a valid visa and returned within 6 months, lawful residence under the long residence is maintained Search for Example 2: specific to Appendix Long Residence Continuous residence guidance: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/66277546d29479e036a7e545/Continuous+resid...

It is correct. Use the previous evidence submitted

Thank you again for your assistance. I have one final query regarding my absence history. There are four stamps missing for a foreign country, as I entered using e-gates during those trips. Since there has been a mixture of e-gate and passport control entries for this specific country, should I men...

Hello Zimba, Thank you for the detailed explanation. Suppose my employer decides to raise my salary to the minimum threshold of £41900, as required for SOC 2124 - how many months of Payslips showing this new salary will be required to be furnished at the time of ILR application? Please advise. You ...

Hi unfortunately we don't have that much money in one bank account so can we can create separate application for my child , hope you understand . One Indian account I'm using to pay and another UK account It seems the UKVI is no longer playing nice and flat-out rejects the application as invalid fo...

Note that the answers on the form should not be treated as full disclosure or it could lead to confusion. If she chooses that their partner is getting PIP, the application system assumes they want to apply via the adequate maintenance route. She better answer NO as it seems she wants to apply under ...

Thanks Zimba for your response. So for the letter should it mention that no unauthorised absence for current employment? or does it need to mention "for current and previous" role? thanks alot

I already answered that above

I contacted each step by step home office before applying my ILR application and they informed me you apply before 28 days when you will be cover 5 years in the UK and I arrived in the UK 25th June 2019 and I done my biometric as per the 28 days calculation on 28th may 2024 with super priority and ...
