I received the letter for biomets enrollment last Friday and promptly went on Monday to get it done. Unfortunately the only kiosk available in York was down --- I was quite disgusted with the customer service I received; There was no apology, no helpful information dispensed, they (the post office ...

Posted it and very glad to get rid of it. Sent on the 8th and payment debited on the 13th.

Hopefully I'll get this out and done with as soon as possible, hoping to move by June :/

I'll update the timeline thread once the process is complete.

Are you serious? Cos if you are, I am :D x As an Ancestry visa holder, should i tick 12B (Employment not requiring a work permit)? I am providing the letters from my employers and their statements/payslips, but I'm not sure if I should tick it only cos I'm not sure if the ancestry visa doesn't ...

You are overthinking.

*Breathes*

CR001 if there was ever a way to do so, I would send you a thank you card and a giant cake, honestly!

Posting my ILR application in two days :S I have all my documents ready. I suppose my last and only worry, still, is the proof of lineage because my story is complicating. All I have to send are, again, my granddad's and dad's birth/death certificates, and some emails between me and my granddad ...

I've booked a couple of times last week with no problems, the registration email came right after. Check the junk folder and/or call them? x

Well done. Only send what is asked for. Fine to carry a few extra bits in case asked for, but they will want to see the specifid documents per the form/guidance/rules. Yes Ancestry visa is a work visa but there is no requirement that you must have worked for the entire duration of your visa from ...

Not necessary. They will do their own checks.

Thanks, I shall not include it then, I have lots of proof of active community participation but I also don't want to make them look through extra paperwork.

I passed my LiUK test today Yay!

Btw, I'm not sure if I should include any documentation to support a standing of good character? Would it be necessary / help? If it does, I am intending to send in my CRB check docus as I work in the hospital / mental health. I am also including proof that I was volunteering before I found a job ...

Hi everyone, Just want to extend my gratitude for all the help I've received thus far, all of you are a massive help and support in an otherwise potentially mentally-damaging part of my life. :P I'll try to update the timeline and/or success story if any. Now, I suppose, the only thing I'm stuck ...

Hi,
Can you please confirm if UK Ancestry is under the Permitted Employment Category?
Many thanks.

Hiya icarus - I'd like to know the answer to this as well. I've got for a couple of holidays overseas and locally which hasn't gone past the 180days/yr mark.

Thank you, I feel a lot more assured now. It’s such a small window to post so hoping to do it asap....

Thank you so much everyone for the advice and support

Ok I'm going to try and apply by post within the 6-10th March window.

Can I just confirm that I'll be covered under section 3C during the process? Cos my visa will expire on the 10th..

I have, and the earliest available is 17th :/
is the only chance I have left is to apply by post ?

So basically I'm on ancestry visa which expires on the 10/3/18. I am intending to apply for ILR, where my fifth year anniversary for being a UK resident is on 2/4/18. The earliest application booking appointment available (premium, on the day) is 17/3/18. That's after my visa expires, so I'm worried ...

I've read through the forums and I'm understanding some things, but have an issue with the application which I need to clarify. I'm on ancestry visa which expires on the 10/3/18. I am intending to apply for ILR, where my fifth year anniversary for being a UK resident is on 2/4/18. The earliest ...

It's me again! It's February now so I'm writing to clarify something worrying me. This is my question / problem: 10/3/13 - Ancestry visa issued. 10/3/18 - Ancestry visa expiry. 2/4/13 - Physically arrived to the UK. Went for a trip to France for a week from then but otherwise been in the UK all the ...

I will... thank you very much CR001 and everyone for the support
I have been reading too many horror stories about people getting kicked out of the country and it's starting to get to me :S

I am revisiting my own thread because I'm worried sick. The application for ILR draws near

CR001 No worries at all, and thank you for getting back to me on this, really appreciate it.

CR001 You are an angel. Thank you so much.

Yikes, I wasn't aware of that £1000 health surcharge. They're really milking us out aren't they!? Thanks for the heads up!! ILR it is, that was an easy decision. :shock: :| The reason why I wasn't sure about ILR was because I read somewhere that someone suggested re-applying for ancestry visa to ...

Hi CR001, thank you for your reply and the information. You need your fathers birth certificate post adoption and the adoption papers. How did you get an ancestry visa if you don't have these? You don't need the death cert. I have my father's birth certificate, but there are no adoption papers; My ...
