occupation list is published but there is a merely quota of 5k and with 300 each category. One would wonder how will this suffice for the whole world?? I wonder if there is already an application queue of more than 10k per category, how they will prioritise, if the application is received before it ...

I have only got response back from them now that they need to see my original passport and original HO document(not even sure what that is). My fault was that I just send the original birth certificate and not copies of my passport with ILR. I am traveling within a few weeks and now quite in a fix w...
Hi, I have applied for my child's benefit about a couple of months ago and received back a letter from HMRC sending back the child's birth certificate, along with a slip. The slip had a few option, all unticked, meaning I dont need to send anything more. But todate I havent received any money in ban...
Hi All,
apart from sending the original birth certificate and the application form what other documents I am required to send for claiming child benefit? Me and my wife currently have ILR and my child is on Tier1 dependent visa.
The answer is simple... when any parent gets ILR, his/her status changes to settled in the UK... hence any child born in the UK, before or after the parent's ILR will automatically become British regardless of whether the parent is eligible for citizenship or not or whether that parent has British ...
I am in a similar situation, my uk born daughter is only 8 months old and me and my wife have recently got ILR. Should we take the reference from the GP?
Hi John My child's birth certificate was issued in India and in English language. So that is not a problem. Thanks and regards Hi, I am in the same boat and got my ILR last month. My child was born in UK. Do I only need to send the birth certificate along with the application? Also any idea how muc...
Hello Friends and seniors, Can you please confirm what ghummy has said is FALSE. We can indeed exclude the infant's name in our ILR application (if infant is born in UK) and go for his citizenship registration directly via MN1 form after we get our ILR. That way we can save amount on the infant's I...
It's like saying "well yes I gave you some rights but...nah! I changed my mind, I'll take some of it back" Exactly. We are soft target, they can load us with new expenses and new laws without ever being questioned. Also get more votes in election, because of "being hard with immigrants". In future ...
Dear sushdmehta, I looked again and again to the draft instructions "Draft guidance (settlement) from 6 April 2011" It does not mention the Closed employment Categories at all ,It only only mention the rules about Tire1,Tire2 etc But excluded Closed Categories , that means Home office is treating C...
my wife got ILR along with me few days ago and she just converted into my dependent around 15 days ago from our home country. :? If your wife was granted ILR with you then why did she have to become your dependant from your home country (after being granted ILR)? I think he is saying that his wife ...
Usually they just look for last 2 years cohabitation. It can be that in your wife's case, the case worker considered the gap between May09 and September09 is too large. In my case, my wife got ILR along with me few days ago and she just converted into my dependent around 15 days ago from our home co...
Hi All, I have recently got ILR along with my wife and we got a 6 months child. Both me and my wife works(though she is currently on maternity leave).
