It was extremely helpful when completing all my immigration applications myself - good luck to everyone else! Eligibility criteria: Ancestry visa 5 years + 1 year ILR Language criteria met: Ci...

Thanks David - what info did you give them to identify yourself? I'm assuming full name, DOB, BRP number? Will do it later tonight if I don't have any mail when I get home.
Thanks guys - I was wondering what happens if you miss the biometrics deadline so it's good to know they will send a reminder if the letter has gone astray. Bank holiday may have thrown a spanner in the mix as well.
Hi All, I'm getting a bit anxious that my payment cleared my account on 29 April but I have received no email acknowledgement or letter from the Home Office for the biometrics. Is this a cause for concern given the time limit imposed for providing the biometrics? We have some strange numbering on my...

Just as a followup I submitted my application today with four P60s that covered the period of the stolen passport and a letter from my previous employer confirming I worked for them in London for the period. I also submitted the police report, copy of my previous passport photo page and ancestry vis...
Thanks. I've asked my previous employer for a new letter and will try find my P60s from then. Have a nationality checking appointment with Manchester City Council on the 11th and otherwise my application is very straightforward.
Finally a year on from my ILR and getting my documents ready for my citizenship application and wanted to make sure I understood this correctly. My passport to which I first entered the UK (with visa) 26 April 2010 was stolen in France in November 2013. My nationality qualifying period is from 8 Apr...
It was excel document split by year showing all absenses outside the UK and reason (leisure or business) with total dayss for leisure/business/5year qualifying and last 12 months. They weren't that significant and no proof provided other than current passport and pointing out last passport was stole...
Tiran I used those guys and they were fine. It's all a bit pricey really. HO accepted the translated police report twice (once transfer of stay and second ILR).
Cover letter for the visa? Mine was: SET(0) Application Covering Letter Please find enclosed my SET(O) application under the Ancestry path. I am applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain on the basis that I entered into the UK on 27 April 2010 on my ancestry valid granted on 14 April 2010 and have com...
Also, I assume you have the visa stuck in your passport rather than a biometric card? I only had a biometric permit as I had to get a replacement visa when my passport was stolen 18 months ago. Therefore you can ignore any questions asking for biometric permit details like card number.
I booked appointment on 28 February for 8 April. I took the new SET(O) form, didn't complete the payment pages and was accepted for the old fees I had paid on 28 Feb. There is no issue with this and absolutely no questions from PEO. ILR was granted.
No letter from my employer for the holidays as not required on Ancestry if below the limits. The letter from my employer just stated my address, how long I had been employed, my salary, confirmation of my continuing employment and that I was of good character (it is their standard template). My abse...
Check out my post in in person applications as I was granted on Wednesday. Ancestry to ILR is easy as proof level is low and you can do it yourself and you only need 3 months of payslips and bank statements. I had original birth certificates (me > mother > maternal grandmother)
Just wanted to update to say appointment and grant on Wednesday 8 April and biometric card arrived today Friday 10 April. Great turnaround on the card, even quicker than last time.
Just to confirm, I made my appointment and paid for it on 25 February under the £1,493 fee. I used new form at my appointment today in Croydon HO but was not asked to make additional payment. IRL was approved.
IRL granted today :D 1. Category - ILR through UK Ancestry - 5 year Route (NZ) 2. Number of dependents - None 3. PEO branch - Croydon 4.
