Hi lovely people, Is A2 English test the right one for the following applicant? 1st Visa granted as: Tier 4 dependent 2nd Visa granted as: discretionary leave, 30 months 3rd visa granted as: 30 months, dependent of a British citizen 4th Visa extension due now Many many thanks for valuable ...
I am in serious problem as my first passport was lost along with all my valuable papers. I ordered replacement certificates to prove English knowledge requirement. I thought UKBA records entry date in their database.
Hello lovely people, I am about to apply for ILR (LR). Since I have been here as student, I did not have to pay council tax or other bills which makes it difficult to prove where I have been living. In fact I have been living with my uncle who is settled here. Can I use his personal reference or ...
"we are not making stuff up", please accept my cordial apology if I have offended you by asking too many questions. I am most certainly aware that moderators here ton of experience which is why I was here at first place. The reason I wanted to show you the email was because response from FOI was ...
Is here anyone (or know someone who has) received/refused ILR after varying application before 10 years qualifying period with 28 days concession rule? For example, date of entry being 20.05.2008, ILR application successful after applying on 23.04.2018. Many thanks
I thought people replying from UKVI at 'whatdotheyknow' website are official staff. Btw, I have received an email from UKVI which I want to share with you. Is it possible to email you?
Many thanks Zimba. All I hope is that someone like Wayne trying to impose their own rule ("Please be advised that under the Immigration Rules, the applicant must have at least 10 years continuous lawful residence in the UK in order to make the application, or have a visa which covers them up to a ...
Many many thanks Zimba. I was confused with the term that says 'existing leave to remain or enter'. I interpreted it as the day visa was granted. You are a life saver
I know and that's where my concern began as someone from the HO replied in 'whatdotheyknow' website with that statement. No wonder why so many their decision overturned once they go in court. And, when does qualifying period start for 10 year LR? Is it the date of entry or date someone was granted ...
Thanks but is the following statement true "The application can be made within the 28 day qualifying period, provided the applicant's visa covers them up to a full 10 years of legal residence in the United Kingdom." This statement seems to be contradictory. Many thanks Zimba
Can an applicant with 3C leave continuing benefit from 28 days concession? In other word, can s/he apply 28 days early before 10 years qualifying period? Please consider giving example too if possible. Many many thanks.
Dear moderator, "it is considered rude and unfair to other posters to tag your questions onto their threads."; the questions I have asked is likely to generate answers relevant to original questions (question no. 2 in particular) asked by the original thread. Regardless, I will shut up myself now ...
It is certainly obvious that you have in-depth knowledge around this area but "Note that (i) refers to either a visa issued outside the UK" needs clarification (English is a wonderful language!). I have gone through the guidance but could not see anywhere explicitly mentioning 'date of entry' rule ...
I read that 90 days rule somewhere but can't remember where exactly. However, as you are saying residency/qualifying period starts from date of entry, can you provide me the relevant source?
Secondly explain me what does "(i) existing leave to enter" mean?
When does qualifying period start? (Correct me if I am wrong) According to 276B i, https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration-rules/immigration-rules-part-7-other-categories (b) “lawful residence” means residence which is continuous residence pursuant to: (i) existing leave to enter or remain; "The lon ...
I was paid 21.50 hours on few occasions in last 1.5 years time whilst on tier 4 visa. That was wholly unintentional. UKBA has curtailed my visa and serving me deportation order. Are there any law regarding this or policy guidance to back up my claim that I did not breach my visa condition deliberate ...
