Thanks for your response. My employer is tier 2 General sponsor in UK. My question is - Do I need to join in UK under Tier 2 ICT or I can join in Tier 2 General.? Thanks. I would highly, HIGHLY recommend pushing your company to do a Tier 2 General if possible. I myself was sponsored on a Tier 2 Gen...

You have to make a choice here. If you think you will get better care in the US and/or your risks are lower, just take next flight to the US. Your health is more important than any application. You have an ILR anyway. So if you end up staying more than 90 days, wait 9 months to reset that counter a...

No. Exceptional circumstances are things that are totally out of your control. Personal decisions for travel are not exceptional circumstances unless you end up in a situation that you cannot travel at all or get stuck somewhere Thank you for your answer Zimba. I actually ended up staying in the UK...

Hello everyone, I just received my ILR in October 2019. I am planning on going for the passport / citizenship later this year, but understand you cannot have been out of the UK for 90 during the year before applying for the passport. I'm a US citizen with all of my family in the US, I am single/alon...

Hi just found out by Calling DX that my delivery is due tomorrow they also gave me the tracking no so what I did is rescheduled the delivery to my work address using the tracking no for tomorrow. So contact DX if your are worried about missing the delivery to get tracking no and find out the delive...

Hi Jonu, what phone number did you use? None of the ones I tried to DX have taken me to a live human.

I’m more than impressed by the super priority service! Being a user of the forum, I would like to make some contribution as well. Below is my case and hope it will be useful for the applicants: ILR Route : tier 2 to ILR Online form submission and payment: 17/10/2019 Biometrics intake appointment - ...

Hi aman90

Just wanted to say today I had my premium appointment and just over 2 and a half hours later I got my application successful email. Thank you SO MUCH for all of your help and advice - really you are a star!

Hi all! I think I might have set a record time for ILR review... my appointment was at 9am today, I was out the door by 9:12am and I just got my 'application successful' email at 11:58am !! Honesty I was losing sleep over this with the Brexit mayhem and uncertainty over the priority appointment avai...

Thanks lhrflyer. Yes, agree - no idea why the site has only the passport listed as “mandatory” - mind you, it’s not only the SS site that does that. When I submitted my application both the form and checklist stated only my passport as mandatory. Of course I uploaded everything else but it’s strange...

Thanks, I'll leave them in colour then. I keep seeing people talking about including original passport photos - I never saw anything about needing passport photos for Tier 2 to ILR...?

1.Whether you write the actual entry date or you write the visa issue date- it will not have any adverse affect. As you were already in the country the only logical answer can be the actual date of entry. 2. No. ILR is based on 5 years continuous residence counting backwards. Only ur absences durin...

Hi venerax88 Congrats on your successful ILR journey! I too have a priority appointment on Tuesday at 9am at Croydon. One question I had is I already spent a considerable amount of time making colour copies of my passport pages (every single page like you, including the blank ones). I'm worried that...

Thank you. I will include a copy of my register as well. I just scanned all 50+ pages of my passport and compiled the pages into one doc. I just realized now that the UKVCAS site asks for black and white to reduce the file size. My files are already well under the 6MB limit - will this be OK, or can...

Hi all, Thought I'd share the current availability for priority appointments if you're based in London (though it showed me options as far as Birmingham). I applied yesterday just after midnight and was able to see the super priority option right away. It wasn't until after paying that I could actua...

Hi don’t worry that just a payment date from worldpay. If you download the application form going back into your account it will show the correct date of 17th. Jonu25, you have absolutely saved my mental sanity. I spent over an hour on panicked calls to the Home Office who advised me to include a c...

Hi guys, I'm really worried here. After days of panic over whether or not I'd be able to see the Super Priority option, I waited till midnight on the day I'm eligible to apply 28 days beforehand (October 17th). At midnight, I took a screenshot of the declaration page. I then hit continue and was imm...

Never-mind, found the answer myself for once It's here on page 21 for other people's reference - looks like this doc was just modified last week with an October 2019 date:

A million thanks again. I will put the Sept 2013 date as that's what logically makes sense.. Now the mystery question I didn't anticipate I'd have trouble with - entering the Life in the UK "unique reference number." I took the test last week - the only number really on the certificate is called "te...

I agree with ur logic. You can answer it as you deem fit. People have answered No and been approved. Said Yes and also been approved. Consensus is to say yes. Thanks again aman90. As predicted... I lied about that being my last question :oops: :? You previously advised me in this thread to put my a...

Thanks again aman90. One final one (hopefully) before the big submit.. (I might have said that before :oops:) The question: Have you previously lived in a country outside the UK including your country of birth? I was born in the US, so I suppose the correct answer is 'yes' - it's odd to put "the dat...

Thanks aman90. So come Friday (the 18th) I see the priority option available and book an appointment on November 1, my application date is Oct 18th (since that's when I submitted and paid) and NOT on Nov 1, my appointment date? Do you know if you can upload your scanned docs anytime before the appoi...

Hi everyone again, I have gotten all my docs together for ILR, and I'm planning on applying this Friday. I am urgently holding out for a priority appointment, so I won't be paying for anything until I see the priority option available. I understand from this board that the date of application is whe...

Thanks!! I hope I get to see her too. I'm one of those weird people who actually entered the UK a couple weeks before the grant of my first visa (Tier 4 general student). Since the year on the student visa doesn't count, and because I was already in the UK when I got my first Tier 2, I'm just counti...
