Cw most likely coundn't care less about this board. It's best to come back to the point of the thread. It's quite annoying to see that the topic has been updated, only to find out that it's full of irrelevant jokes. I agree to the above comment. I know the jokes are not made with wrong intention, b...

Dear All, I have applied for my naturalization in 31st March 2015 and till to-date I have only received an acknowledgement letter and my fee was deducted. I never received a biometric letter. Is that normal ? I also heard that applicants who applied before 6th April they will not receive bio metric...

Hi all, I got my son's certificate of registration as a British Citizen recently and decided to use the online application form. It clearly asked for both parent's detail in the application. I filled in the application on 24th April so I don't know if they have made these changes recently or not. I ...

We submitted the application on 25th March at Gerrys office. And my family was told not to submit any originals as HO won't return them back. So my family submitted all attested photo copied docs apart from the passport and photos and obviously bank statement original. Got the call from Gerrys on 9...

Hi,

can you confirm if you get the originals back if you attach originals with application along with their copies?

Regards

I recently applied for my mum in Pakistan. I sent all the docs in PDF format via email - even the invitation/declaration letter and the letter from landlord. I had no issues with it - visa granted within 2 weeks. Hi, Thanks for confirming, thats what I had thought as well but got confused after loo...

Hi,

I want to invite my mother in law to visit us here in the UK. I wanted to ask how should I send them my documents? Do I have to send my original bank statements/payslips etc to her or scanned copies of all these documents would suffice?

Thanks

just coming back on this. you said you provided a "A simple spreadsheet telling a summary of all my absences from UK and which passport page they can find the relevant entry/exit stamps". Is there any chance you can provide a template of this spreadsheet please. thanks Hi, sorry for a delayed respo...

Hi, This is a bit tricky I think. I personally feel that I should not have needed to attach the IELTS certificate but so as I had it. I think it is better to send an email to Home Office and confirm if they would need the original or its not needed as you have already proven your skills in previous ...

That link has been superseded by this one from 24th February 2014: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/285139/KoLL_v14.0EXT.pdf The 24th February version does not mention that being granted time restricted leave to remain in a previous application on the basis ...

hi KM, Thanks a lot for your reply. The only difference is that you did get a visa for your second child separately whereas in my case since there were no plans for him to travel outside UK, I did not get dependant visa for him. Is it still Ok to not include him in ILR and directly apply for MN1 on...

Hi, My current Tier1 (G) extension was expiring on 14 May 2014 but our qualifying period started around 10 March as our initial application was granted from 1st April 2009 and I was here in UK on 7th April. So if you take that into account, my 5 years would have completed on 7th April 2014 and 28 da...

hi, Congratulations. You mentioned that you also included your child in the application who was born in UK. Was it your child's first application or did the baby already had dependant visa ? Is it essential to include the child as well? My baby was born after my tier 1 extension and my ILR is in Ma...

Hi, we used the trinity college exam (GESE B1), this is the last exam on the approved tests list. This is probably the easiest exam to take and pass. It costs slightly more than some of the others but definitely recommended if you are in a hurry and don't have much time as you can get dates easily, ...

Hi, I think these should be fine. I have used almost exactly the same set of documents with my application for ILR yesterday and it was successful. I think you only need 6 letters if they are in both person's names. In my opinion, a bank statement is only for one month so if you have attached the st...

Hi All, First of a very big thank you for the members of this forum, specially the highly active moderators and the senior members who have been out there to help all of us without claiming back anything. This forum has been a lot of help and guidance and hopefully will keep on doing that. I had an ...

Hi all, I have an appointment booked for next week at Croydon PEO for myself, spouse and 1 child. I have got another child (2 yrs old) whose appointment we have not booked as he is UK born. Has anyone had any issues taking a child along with them who is not on the appointment list? The Croydon PEO i...

first of all congratulations. If you dont mind me asking, what is the confusion in the ILR approval letter? Just asking as I have an appointment next week and would be good to know about it. I have an application for my UK born son pending the (hopefully successful) result of this appointment so wou...
