I am posting this query on behalf of a friend. She got married to a british citizen 2 years ago. She is currently on a spouse visa ( I think its FLR M). Unfortunately her married life is not going well. I dont want to go in too much details but just want to say that things are so bad that she wants ...

Its business visa. You are NOT allowed to work for anyone else. You can only work for your own business.

To Practice life in the UK test https://www.immigrationboards.com/general-uk-immigration-forum/knowledge-of-life-in-the-uk-kol-lituk-test-t107512.html in above thread go to Practice section--> 2nd website ( as not allowed to put weblink here). In that you see EXAM section, most of the questions com...

Thanks Devin What a relief this one. Now the tug of war for the entrepreneur documents + passports and the money they owe me for fees and IHS!!! The only thing is that I have just realised that since April 2017 when I paid the fees and surcharge to them the card has been expired and now I have a ne...

Hi Everyone, Its confirmed! BRP received! It is ILR!!! As expected until 2024 (the change in bio metric data etc etc) But yes thank God it is ILR. For those who don't know what I am on about please read above as from the letter I was not able to gather 100% that the ILR application has been approve...

Hi Devin Stupid question but it was ILR in the end yes? Haha Haha. Its not a stupid question at all after I saw my letter. I heavnt received my BRP card yet but I think its ILR because the 2nd page refers to ILR. On top it says it does not convey the approval of ILR but under the heading it says yo...

I also received that same letter. Its extremely confusing and does not give any useful information apart from "What to do if BRP does not arrive"

Thank you for the quick response. I will prepare and post it. Hope they will take action asap.

I emailed them as its quicker and easier but post should be fine. Good Luck.

Hi Devin, Congratulations and thanks for sharing your experiences. I posted my ILR application in July 2016 still waiting for the outcome. I am unaware that PAP can be used to expedite the process. I am going to try this. Did you use any legal representative? What you have mentioned in Type of Clai...

Congratulations Devin. I also received my ILR approval letter 2 days before. You received fee and IHS refund? I haven’t mine. What should do for this? Regards Thanks. I have not received the refund yet. Others have reported that it takes a while before they issue it. I think you can email them on t...

Hi COngrats on getting a decision . Can u explain what is PAP ? I applied for ILR in person and I was given a further check letter,it has been a month now and no response . Shall I contact them? Thanks PAP is Pre Action Protocol letter. It is sent before starting Judicial Review. You should definit...

Alhamdo lillah I received my ILR approval today. I applied for Tier 1 Entrepreneur extension in July 2017. Biometric done last week of August and very next day complex letter was issued. No correspondence till December. Varied in December to ILR at Sheffield PSC. After 2 hours case worker gave me fu...

Hi Everyone, A great piece of good news just came in literally 10 mins ago from my solicitor who has received the letter from home office along with the documents that I supplied with my ILR application. The letter says bio metric card will arrive in 7 working days. This confirms the ILR has been a...

Majority of people who varied from Tier 1 Entrepreneur to ILR (LR) have faced longer delay. People switching from other categories have been granted visas fairly quickly. The only logical explanation could be that Tier 1 Entrepreneur is relatively complex catagory. So they want to make sure people w...

Its up to you if you want to vary. There is no issue with that. HO is putting these cases on hold for some reason. Every case is different but many recent posts where people varied their application are waiting for decision for few months. Its becoming a trend.

Most likely they will give you a letter after couple of hours stating that further checks are required. Some people got decision same day but in last few months I have not seen any where it was approved on same day. So 99% chance it will be deferred. They might ask you for documents related to Tier...

Its extremely frustrating but nothing we can do really . I asked case worker if he needs any further documents to speed up the process but he said 'we have everything we need'.

I have not received any refund. I emailed them last week but they said refund will be issued when my ILR application is decided. Its been 5 weeks but no response so far. On appointment day case worker told me that they need to do further checks on my previous Tier 1 Entrepreneur application. I appli...

I also varied in December at Sheffield PSC but no response so far. There are many people on this forum who varied and there applications were held. Most still waiting. Its mainly Tier 1Entrepreneur applications which are being held.

I simply emailed them on public.enquiries@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk

Thank you for your response

Congratulations. Can you please share the email address you used to claim the refund for previous application.

Did you vary by post or did you go for premium service?

You should be able to use your new passport to book the test as long as all the details are correct on your passport. Just ensure details on booking form match your passport.

You can select No for biometric card as you only need one valid photo ID.

There are different formats of RTIs generated by software. Some formats do not show full details of payments such as NI contribution and tax. I think they are probably asking you to provide the details of payments. My application is also in process. I sent them FPS reports for each month, covering a...
