The form you quote in the second link relates ONLY to those on PBS visas as it clearly states and NOT ILR!! This was the link they include on the BRP page (previous link to that). I was confused when it redirected me to a PBS form though, thanks for clarifying. I can not point you to a specific doc...

No, there is no requirement for that except if there are correspondences or documents you are expecting that may necessitate update of address to prevent missing it in the post. Do you know where it states that there is no requirement even if you're not expecting and correspondence? When you go to ...

Great, thanks. Also, just to double check, would I need to provide an additional note on this that I was a dependent? Judging by the responses, it seems like it doesn't matter who applied. I don't know if I'm the only one that has issues with the phrasing of this question but would have been clearer...

Even if you were a dependent on previous applications you need to mention them as they are immigration applications. Thanks for the clarification, in this case, the bit where they ask what name the application was applied under, it would be the name of my parent that did it, correct? Do I also need...

I have seen the following being asked in a few posts and looking for some clarification to the question "Have you made any previous UK immigration applications in the UK or abroad?" How would you answer this question if you were a dependent of a previous UK immigration application? I'm not sure if t...

That's the only hope at this point seagul. Legally speaking I don't think I've got a leg to stand on here. Nothing I've been reading past few days on the matter has given me any positive feeling about the whole process other than playing the waiting game.

Oh no, I just read that priority services are all suspended . So really the 6 month standard application process is all I can do. No way, does this mean that I won't be able to work for potentially 6 months or longer...

I'm really hoping that's a very very rare occurrence. Surely it can't be expected that you get cut off from any employment for that long? Especially if it's as straightforward a I thought NTL would be.

Thanks seagul, although I would meet the criteria, I haven't looked into naturalisation as I thought that process would have taken longer than NTL. As it stands, I'm looking at whichever option would allow me to start working the earliest. It also seems like the premium service is only as good as wh...

Thanks vinny, I just read through all that and I get the answer that there isn't a definite time period when a right to work check could be done. I'm getting slightly worried now since the OP in that thread couldn't be verified by their HR department even after giving biometrics. I was hoping there ...

Thanks for the response seagul. Could you clarify in which document is section 3C in reference to? I understand that I won't be employable without having a BRP as my current ILR is in an expired passport. However, if you see the following GOV UK document: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/gov...

I guess what I'm trying to figure out is how quickly after NTL is submitted will it be enough for a potential employer to run right to work checks and whether I need to pay for the premium service if that is expected to take long?

I've read on the guidelines that an individual does not have to wait until the outcome of the application to work and that the employer can contact HO (Employer Checking Service) to verify that an application for a BRP has been made. Does anyone know how long after submitting the NTL application onl...

Perfect, thanks for all the information CR001, much appreciated!

That's great, thanks for the clarification CR001. Do you know if the new system would cater for situations like this? I.e. accepting deed poll documents? Also, would I still be able to sit the Life in UK Test with my new name using the new passport as ID eventhough the ILR vignette is in the old nam...

Is there a more appropriate sub-forum I should post these questions in? Really not sure what to do with all this.

Anyone able to provide advice on any of the questions?

Hi, I'm not able to find any information regarding name changes (not due to marriage) and how it works on getting citizenship by naturalisation. I know that if you have a BRP card, you are required to update if your name or any other details change. (1) Is this the same case if you have an ILR vigne...

Depending on how urgent it is, you could apply using one of the premium service centres (https://www.gov.uk/ukvi-premium-service-centres). Currently, the cost of the service is £839 (https://www.gov.uk/biometric-residence-permits/replace-visa-brp). I guess this is a matter of opportunity cost, i.e. ...

I'm looking to shorten my super long Sri Lankan name to just a simple First Name Last Name and was wondering if this would complicate anything. I currently hold ILR status (vignette) and have been for over 8 years. My plan is to obtain citizenship by naturalisation. In order to change my name, I wou...
