My wife acquired an FLR(M) visa on the back of my ILR two years ago. I have now got British Citizenship. What are her options, is it only another FLR(M), or are there any other options now that I am a Citizen? Thanks

[quote="Ocihopeful2017" ]The VFS website mentions a letter from the employer with job description as a mandatory document. Is it really needed? Has anyone been asked for it? [/quote] At the VFS on Goswell Road (London) I was asked to rebook my appointment as I had not taken the employer letter when ...

Was at VFS on Goswell Road today with the above documents and was asked to go back. Was told I needed an employer's letter/ letter from accountant if self-employed.

FYI for others who may be applying for an OCI card at this VFS centre.

Just to confirm that I did miss the window with the first letter and "took the risk" of getting biometrics done only on the second letter. There was no significant delay or issues because of this. I got my citizenship approved within 8 weeks after the biometrics.

I have the same Q, about to apply for OCI. Reply appreciated. Thanks

Good to know, thanks!

I've just applied via the NCS today, and only realised after reading their receipt that there is a call for Biometrics that will happen in the next few weeks. But I'm due to be away for a period of 4 weeks. My partner will be able to check/open my post and let me know - so that's not a problem. Howe...

The number of people on the planet who truly might be considered 'settled' simultaneously in two countries has got to be vanishinigly small when compared with the number of immigrants overall. I doubt the UKBA is going to feel any pressure on this topic for a long long time, if ever. Maybe so but a...

Was at Stansted returning from holiday yesterday. At Passport Control the officer had a trainee with him. The conversation was interesting so thought I would share it here. Officer (to me): How did you become eligible for your ILR sir? Me: 5 years on a Tier-1. Officer (to me): And how long have you ...

I am an Indian national who needs to travel to France on an emergency (friend's medical situation). How can I approach the French Consulate in London for emergency travel? Quick reply much appreciated, thanks

It does not, this is incorrect information. Visiting the UK for short periods does not maintain the status of ILR. The rule is clear, if you have not live (been settled) in the UK for 2 years, ILR is lost. A key word is to remember that ILR = settled in the UK. A visitor is NOT settled in the UK. R...

I will be in a similar situation soon. Can't address your other questions due to my lack of experience but definitely the clock resets after every visit back to the UK. Note that the "clock" is simply informally verified by the officer at the border (immigration at Heathrow), when he asks you, "HOw ...

Looks like you plan to confuse the hell out of your caseworker Pari All the best

I'm glad I found this thread. I have just got my UK ILR, and like ouflak1 and a couple of other members who've posted here I have no intention of giving up my home country's citizenship, but still hope to be able to freely enter and stay in the UK from now on, because, after all, I have been granted...

How do you know for sure what they considered while deciding your case?

Financial Requirement : As Ltd Co director I submitted documents under Category F: - CT600 and HMRC acknowled...

This is indeed the company's financial year, not the april-april tax year. Just had this verified at our FLR(M) PEO appt in Croydon today

Not an expert but I think if it is your own limited company then you need to show all the docs.

Just to update. I took the printout from the PBS calculator with me but didn't submit it on the day. Just submitted degree cert and also ticked the box that said "Have cleared english lang requirement as part of previous tier-1 application". This seemed to suffice, no questions asked about it (it wa...
