Hi everyone, I'm completing my citizenship application. This is the first year I register for self employment (I registered online in January, and only got the response and tax reference number last month). I have not completed the self assessment yet (deadline Jan 31), but the application is asking ...

1. Convictions and other penalties I had my first speeding fine last year (driving 24mph on 20mph zone). I paid promptly and it did not go to court. I have a CCJ 15 years ago for a gym membership and I forgot to cancel while I was out of the country. I settled it as soon as I was aware of it. Do I ...

The rules set both the criteria as well as the required documents. That does not mean that to meet every criteria you will be needing to provide a document. You are only asked to provide the required evidence. The caseworkers will look at both the required documents you provided as well as other ...

Correct. The dependants are subject to separate rules Hi Zimba, Could you please elaborate if any rules that we might need to be aware of, from my immigration history/documents. My husband and child (under 16) moved to the UK with me when I was on my PhD, before I got the Work Permit visa, and have ...

Hello, Thank you for all your help. I'm just checking through the application a final time before submission. I want to run through it quickly with you, just in case you can spot something that I should be aware of. This is an application for me and my husband and child as dependants. Immigration ...

The question as stated is about the period in UK on which this ILR application is based. Therefore it will be at the earliest from 5years ago so when was this.? I started my PhD more than 10 years ago. I finished my PhD 6 years ago. I started working while on Post Study Work visa, and then ...

@AmazonianX: The problem with declaring "when did you first enter the UK" as the start of my PhD is I have to declare all the periods of absence during my PhD, which includes a whole year maternity leave. So my total declared absence would be way too high, even though the absence while I have Work ...

None of those questions are important at all. Stop overthinking. Just provide an answer as they have no influence over your application

Sorry I can't afford to make a mistake. I'm applying with 2 dependants, it will be costing us nearly 8k. We simply cant afford to not to it right.

@Ticktack Thank you for your reply! 1. During my PhD, I did came back to my home country for a year for maternity leave. I still hold student visa during this period. So do you think the date I entered the UK to start my PhD is still most relevant, and not the date I came back from maternity leave ...

Hi everyone, I'm completing my ILR application (5 year route) and have found some questions to be quite unclear. Hope you can help me with: 1. When did you first enter the UK? This is the date you entered the UK when the period of stay you are basing this application on started. I'm very unsure ...

@CR001: I apologise I dont mean to antagonise you, but clearly there is specific financial requirement for a Tier 2 ILR, as quoted above from government guidance: “You’ll usually need to be paid at least whichever is the highest out of the following: £25,600 per year £10.10 per hour the ‘going rate’ ...

Hi @ywlgy, thanks for your reply. My work document is quite straight forward, so if there's no big risk I will try to apply 5 years route as it is a few months earlier. My partner and daughter will also be applying the same time as me for ILR, is there no financial requirement (if not income, but ...

Hello everyone, Me and my family will be qualified for ILR 5 year route this June, and also 10 year route this October. I'm wondering which route would be better/less complicated to apply for? I have also tried to look into the specifics regarding financial requirement. The only thing I've found is ...
