By the way, just found out from others that to cover for the last 2.5 years, my cohabitation documents must not be more than 4 months gap. For 2022 only: I have February 2022 (Universal Credit Letter for Applicant for Failed Habitual Residence Test) and on December 2022, applicant's NHS letter. Tha...

You will not get any funds Where the Secretary of State varies an application for settlement (Indefinite Leave to Remain) to an application for permission to stay, the fee paid for the ILR application will not be refunded – this includes where permission to stay is rejected due to nonpayment of the ...

Hi Zimba. Hope all is well. I have a question for you. I got a generic email from the Home office about the e-visa system yesterday, literally as I was getting ready to submit my naturalisation application. I have a paper ILR and meet the requirements. The email did not include any specific applica...

TUPE will not magically solve your visa issues at all. TUPE will not erase immigration restrictions at all. As I explained you cannot get ILR as you do not meet the requirements and also any letter issued by your current sponsor will not solve this. Your current employer saying your role will contin...

Hi We paid Priority service(5 Days) for my spouse and my two children ILR application and my elder one just turn to 18. we submitted the application and after 3 days they sent an email and they need letter from school and his bank statement with the same address my wife application mentioned addres...

thanks for the response, I have already read the guidance however not clear to me as the 5 years fets completed even before I am TUPED, and during TUPE I'll not have an active visa so How can a new employer will notify of taking responsibility ? my COS is for 5 years and it will expire before befor...

TUPE is a change of employer so you cannot apply for ILR until the TUPE process is finalised and you are moved to the new licenced sponsor/employer. You do not need to apply for a new visa or a new COS, assuming the new sponsor has a valid sponsor licence. Otherwise, they need to get a license and y...

Mandatory refusal applies only when you are applying for an entry clearance or permission to enter. Paragraph 9.8.7, sets the relevant time period to up to 10 years since the deception. After that, any refusal will be discretionary . For permission to stay on the other hand and as per paragraph 9.8...

Thanks. Yes, we were planning to apply for GTV endorsement and the visa together. Its a relief if we get 14 days window after the rejection decision and can apply for family route within the 14 days after rejection. Just to check is it written somewhere in Gov.uk? if you don't mind, could you pleas...

First of all, the priority visa service has no guarantees. So even if you manage a priority option, it does NOT mean you 100% get a decision within the priority timeframe. Your application can be held if deemed necessary, so you need to keep that in mind. I am not sure what grounds for refusal you a...

I think you should try to get ILR. You do not need to prove much in the ILR process. As long as you visit the UK and do not stay away for more than 24 months, ILR status will be maintained. I suggest applying for ILR

You can apply for the Global Talent visa at the same time as you apply for endorsement, or after you have the endorsement confirmed. If your permission to stay in the UK is about to expire, applying for the visa will extend it until you’ve been given a decision . https://www.gov.uk/global-talent-re...

If you answer yes to 'Do you have any other reasons to stay in the UK', the system will ask you to provide evidence for this and this is the source of your confusion. Ignore this as you do not need to provide any evidence for 'other' reasons to stay in the UK

1. Please see: All you need to know about cohabitation evidence

2. Linking is not required. UKVI can figure this out.

1. All ILR applicants need to have B1 2,3. It is 12 months under the current immigration ROUTE (not just the last visa issued). She should have been under the family route for more than 12 months. So for example, if she has been under the family route for 2 years but just extended her visa last mont...

I noticed that you are applying under the family route rather than private life, so you should see priority options

Net pay is irrelevant. Any refund or benefits given is also excluded. All it matters is the gross pay

Ok gotcha. That means I can still use that payslip for the application right? Because it has gross £300 and net £1k.

Again, gross pay is all that matters.

Net pay is irrelevant. Any refund or benefits given is also excluded. All it matters is the gross pay

That means I can apply for ILR after 10/08/2024 right? Do you think I need to delay my biometrics just in case or am I ok? Apologies for nit picking, I do not want to get this wrong The date you apply is not very important. You better ensure on the date of the decision , you are eligible for ILR. S...

1. Yes. The lower going rate applies to anyone who entered the route before 4 April 2024. See: All you need to know about salary calculations under the Skilled Worker route 2. Yes. Note that the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes assigned to each sponsored role have been simply updated...

Yes, but in this case by only 45 days+ the processing time of 5 days ? This will be better than waiting for 4-6 months if applied using normal service, even though we have to pay extra £1000 for the both of us. Kindly suggest Regards Rahul I do not see how this makes any difference. You can apply e...

Hello, My partner has arrived in UK on skilled workers visa and its been 2.5 years. She is eligible for global talent visa and will be applying for 3 years GTV. I wanted to know if anyone knows if we can use the time spent on SKV towards ILR. So, can she apply for ILR by being 6 months on GTV i.e. ...

1. For your SOC the minimum annual lower going rate is set at £35,300 for a 37.5-hour working week to qualify for ILR. For calculations see: All you need to know about salary calculations under the Skilled Worker route People who used to be under the shortage occupation list only benefit from a lowe...

Technically there is no difference at all. You may apply earlier or you all can apply together later on. The fees will be the same in total. Only your ILR will be delayed

1. When your wife gets ILR approval, your son can be registered.
2. There is no need for your wife to naturalise at all. Your wife may apply to naturalise later if she wishes.
