Thanks.

I have a quick question. What is the fee for ILR postal for 1 applicant?

Thanks

Hi, I am applying for ILR in November because of being here on an Ancestral visa since November 2007. I would just like to have a template of the letter I must get my employer to write for me. Another question is because I want to submit via postal service should I just use the Post Office special d...

Thanks so much.

For ILR, is it true that you do not count the day you leave the UK and the return day? Also I visited Dublin for 2 days in 2008, do I count these days? My total days out of the country has been 116. Thanks

I will be applying for ILR towards the end of next year and am here on a UK Ancestry visa. I think that my case is not straight forward and they might refuse me. My question is: is it possible to apply for an 5 year extension (because the criteria are different). If they give me the extension to the...

ESTA - for all passengers traveling under the Visa Waiver Program.

Where do I fill in APIS? Thanks for your help thus far.

I have a South African passport with a US 10 year holiday visa in the old passport which I will be carrying with the new passport. I have just purchased a trip to the USA for 2 weeks. The travel agent was telling me about API and ESTA, isn't this only for visa free countries? Surely my 10 year visa ...

I was told that if my case was slightly complicated that a postal application was the best course of action, that if I did it face to face, the person is there to just tick certain boxes and if it was seen to be too complicated it would turn into a postal application anyway... I just want to get a g...

Phone the booking number - it's the only way! And expensive!

Thanks Wanderer

I want to travel to Spain on 17 July for a week. Is it too late to apply for a Schengen visa now? Thanks

Could this be made a sticky please, as there is so little solid information pertaining to Uk Ancestry and when light is shed on this it would be easy to add the new info here.

Could someone clarify one last point for me please. I have read the information from the link provided and see that Ancestry is indeed part of of the Family route to citizenship. But it also says that Ancestry will also fall victim to Probationary Citizenship. is there a benefit in being classed in ...

Are you sure the Ancestral visa will be classified under the Family route?

I have tried to search for information on how UK Ancestry route will be dealt with when Probationary Citizenship comes into play, but have found nothing. Can anyone on this board shed any light on this topic?

What visas did you hold for the 10 years?

I was wondering about something. In the past I have had numerous Schengen visa, some from France. I am now living, for the last 2 years, in the UK on an Ancestry Visa. Anyway would like to visit France for a holiday. My mother's cousin is French and lives in Paris (he has invited me over a few times...

Well done Simon. I hope you don't leave this forum though.

I am curious about something regarding ILR and the definition of 'economic activity'. Does this purely refer to one's earnings in a working capacity or does this also include a wider structure of one's income whether it be in a passive (ie interest on money, shares, rentals) or purely active (earnin...

What happens if one has registered with IRIS and therefore there are no stamps etc?

Thank you so much Vinny, you're a diamond.

Thanks Vinny. Could you please provide me with a link to the Caseworker's rules regarding UK Ancestry and ILR? There used to be a lot more info regarding UK Ancestry on the BIA site and now its thin on the ground.
