do you have life in the uk pass letter without it you can not apply on 2 Dec

i don t think home office will phone the surgery to check your address a GP letter needs to be adressed to your address to be acceptable as supporting document
you can t include any letters from the GP since it doesn t show your address it s not a proof of cohabitation

it is also advisable to make copies of everything you are providing make two big folders 1 of the originals , and 1 of the copies in my case i tried bankers draft unfortunately the bank can not print my full name on it , they just printed first name and half the surname !!!!!!!!i had to cancel banke...

it s 4 th november today the fees still the same , the forms still the same
why this UKBA say it will be changed on the 1 st november ? is it to confuse people ?

you don t need your driving licence if you have a passport

does UKBA check driving licence details when they do police check on the IlR application ?
from my understanding when they do checks they just look for criminal records amd offences they won t see all the details

i think they just check stamps on your passport if you don t have any
they won t know unless they have a huge crystal ball in a big safe somewhere spying on everyone

all what i can say , he is really a heartless ashtray :( as others wrote before , you are not an overstayer and you left the uk within your visa date , so i think the best option is to try to get a visa to uk , once you are in uk it will be very easy to drag his sorry mule in the uk court , take pat...
