Many thanks.

I think you need to have been on student visa for a minimum of 10 years to be able to apply for indefinite leave.

Might be a good idea to check with both for advice on how to embark on your urgent trip.

That advice I'm afraid is nonsense. There is no problem travelling on the Indian passport. It may not entirely be nonsense as you put it. Indian does not support dual nationality and I will only advice this person to cross check very well before embrking on such trip with an Indian passport. This l...

Hi, After 7 long years, I finally have British Citizenship! I want to apply for a passport straight away but also need to travel shortly. If I do the Post Office check and send service, will they still send off my passport or check it and send a notified photocopy? Thanks for your help. Good luck i...

Hello All, we voluntarily informed this and stopped the reduction/payment. Hi, I guess other question you need to answer as well is if you have paid back the money you claimed. If this has not been paid back, then it may have some impact on your application. I’m sure other people in this forum wo...

Do we need to submit Tax returns Proof with the TIER 1 Application. I have not read anywhere such kind of requirement but seen people submitting tax returns proof.

Thank you so much, that was very helpful indeed and all my questions answered!

From what I've read all here, it seems the process from application to receiving approval normally take between 4-6 weeks, which seems not bad. My other observation is that money are not debited with the same speed as it is for other application category. Wishing everyne waiting for response all the...
