There is no such thing as renewing ILR. ILR is a permanent status. Renewing the card is NOT renewing ILR status

Indeed, he is renewing the card. Any suggestions please? I was waiting for my friend to come back from office.

Dear Forum members, A friend of mine was arrested 2.5 years ago, but then there was no further action, and nothing happened after. The reason of him being arrested was that the police came to search the house, someone in the house refused to open the door, and the police forced in the house. My fri...

Much thanks.

Dear forum members, I am asking this question on behalf of a friend. He had his citizenship ceremony yesterday and submitted the application for UK passport. His Turkish passport had expired and he has submitted the application for new Turkish passport which is still being processed. To the best of ...

Ditto with me. I was given the Annex 3. They wrote my hands were dry, and the moisturiser they gave did not help. Did not even try a second time to take prints.

Hi, I am on T2 general visa. My first issued BRP shows valid date from 14/04/2017 (I have second BRP issued in 2020), passport 1 month entry clearance date shows valid from 06/05/2017 to 05/06/2017. I entered UK on 14/05/2017. I am not clear which date will be the reference date when counting 28 da...

im in the same boat, its been 4 months and at the time i sent in fingerprints, this verification form was not there. Ive received no email from the home office as of yet. Hopefully someone in the same boat as us can tell us they got their decision approved soon. I did not upload my verification che...

Many thanks Manci. Agreed, both are uploaded , only that one does not match the other which was worrying me.

Dear forum members, I submitted the naturalisation application (10 years + 1 year) and had my UKVCAS appointment yesterday. For the proof of living in the UK for 5 years (applying on my own right) I had submitted travel history for 5 years (passport pages). I realised later that I had uploaded the o...

Thanks a million CR001.

Dear all, My brother is applying for his UK citizenship next week (12 Jan 2022). However, his current passport is expiring in March 2022. Does he first need to apply for his passport and then apply for UK citizenship as application can take up to 6 months to process? In other words, for visas (trave...

Many thanks CR001 for the prompt response. I did feel that there is a major misunderstanding somewhere.

You could apply on 20. September, but if there's a delay then apply on/after 28th. Personally I would avoid any complications and apply when there is no risk of dates clashing - a few days extra is worth it. Reading the posts here, I have a feeling that the rules have become stricter. My questions ...

Dear alterhase58, Prone to overthinking :-). Spot on. Thanks a million. Dear alterhase58, in the application form, they ask a question on current and previous 10 years of employment. Am wondering whether Brexit could effect or has effected the relationship (or new rules have come in) with Republic o...

Dear alterhase58, in the application form, they ask a question on current and previous 10 years of employment. Am wondering whether Brexit could effect or has effected the relationship (or new rules have come in) with Republic of Ireland and that the current employment could be an issue.

Many thanks alterhase58. I am residing in the UK and not travelled anywhere. I was worried as not being able to apply for citizenship would have let me accept the job offer here. Thanks again. Employment (whether for UK or foreign employers) is not a pre-requisite for naturalisation. Homemakers, Stu...

The reason for asking the question is I am getting a job offer in the UK, and need to send my decision. I find myself ethically responsible to the Irish University, as they had agreed that I can work remotely, also I enjoy the job there. Dear esteemed members, I have ILR issued this January (2021) t...

Dear esteemed members, I have ILR issued this January (2021) through the 10 year route. I am working for a Irish University (Republic of Ireland). They allowed me to work remotely as I requested them that I am due for Citizenship in January 2022. I was wondering whether me working for Ireland will i...

Ok, I just read the cover letter which came with the BRP. It says "Please note: your signature will not appear on your BRP".

Thanks Maniani. Generally in all my earlier BRPs the signature used to there in the bottom corner right hand side. This time, at least, in my ILR, it is not there. I cannot find the method to post a picture here, and I feel it is not needed too. There is no signature (neither the word "holder's sign...
