Hi Experts, I don't know if I am posting this question on the right platform. I have a question: If both parents of a baby have ILR and baby is born overseas. What will be the baby immigration status? Will parents have to apply for a dependent visa for the baby first in order to bring baby to UK? Wh...

Thank you Sushdmehta!

I have found the copies now in my computer backup.

Hi All, I need some advice again please! I sponsored my parents to visit us (me and my family) in the UK. Their visa has been refused by the Entry Clearance Officer(ECO). ECO stated in the refusal letter that because my parents failed to explain fully their financial position so he / she is not sati...

I need your advice about my in laws visit visa. They've got 2 years visit visa today with a max stay condition of 6 months. My questions are: 1)is there any way of extending their stay in the UK after 6 months of their stay? 2)if they have to go out of the UK after 6 months, will they have to go bac...

I won't do that. I would suggest never volunteer information. Once you have got a confirmation from benefit department that your benefits are stopped then you can apply for ILR.

They did apply and got the ILR. But before applying they stopped the benefits. As the question in the ILR application form ask '' are you taking any benefits''. I hope it helps.

Thank you very much for your comments.

I am very much relaxed now.

Thank you

Dear friend, your tale is bit vague. But what I could managed to gather is that you have a regular income coming from your job. You have a house too; for which council pays you into your bank account monthly. But You have a debt of £5000. I guess you are getting good money coming in. My advice to y...

Can you give the exact and full reason?, Did you send a housing report to show you can accommodate them. If you didnt then I have a sneaky feeling they are saying they may not be enough room in your house. Thanks for your reply Batleykhan! I did not send housing report. I do not actually know, what...

Hi, how did you book the appointment? Did you get it oneline or through telephone? Thanks

Taking your dependants with you is not required. But personally I think it is better to take them with you. In my case it helped me to get our passports back with ILR quickly.

Please see below, I have copied this info from UK Border agency website: Your application must include details of two referees. The referees should have known you personally for at least three years. One referee should be of professional standing such as a doctor, minister of religion, civil servant...

Thanks Paperpusher!

Try first thing in the morning on the same number. I think they open at 9.00 am. I have used the same number in the past quite a few times and always got through in the morning. You are right sometimes it does take long but don't give up.....

I did create a spreadsheet of my absences with my passport page numbers references so that visa officer can easily refer to them. But I didn't give it to her as I didn't want to valunteer information. She looked at my absences in the applicatioin form and asked me if I had any more than 90 days abse...

rizcom123, No biometric details were taken as it was the ILR application. I assume that only applies to students and dependants on a marriage visa when they go for extension of stay. Seniors please correct me if I am wrong. Surdy77, 1. In my case, I was with the same employer for the entire 5 years ...
