I never vote before as I wasn't interested in it - never ever! However this discussion is interesting. What makes a good party? Depends on what you find important. It seems that you care a lot on the economy, such as the house price. The recent recession is a global disaster. It would happen no mat...
This is an interesting topic in this forum. I never thought "buying property" could be "immigration related". Hee hee... I am not a financial adviser either however we have to think: are we sure the property will go up in the foreseeable future? Say you pay around £10k per year for renting a flat, ...
no it does not count as a gap. Because you sent your application before your visa expired. For example If you were to sent your application on the 12th of december then you would have had 12 days gap (from 30th of Nov until 12 Dec) the date you post your application got to be before your visa expir...
taylondon, it depends on what you meant by "gap". One of my visa expired on 30Nov03 and at that time the university help me to extend my visa by post. The application was sent before 30Nov03 however the new visa was stamped on 16Dec03. Does this count as a gap?

Hi All (especially to Oluwa112 and Rajj and taylondon), I received my passports this morning and I saw the ILR visa on my passport which was issued 19-Nov-09. I didn't have time to read the paper work in the package (Hopefully everything is okay) this morning. I will do tonight and try to give you a...
Oluwa112, sorry to know you were ill. I hope you are fully recovered now. I totally understand how you feel. What they told you is the standard answer which contains no information. If you call 10 times, you will get the same answer for 10 times. Glad to know Rajj, who stands in the same shoes as us...
The good part of UKBA is that they are making ever step to strengthen UK workforce by eliminating people who do not deserve to be the part of UK economy. Comments are welcome. MKI Agreed. This could be part of the function of UKBA. However "strengthen UK workforce" does not have to bring in the lon...
Oluwa112, I see. Thanks for explainations. I was more worried. I call the HO about 3 times a week. The answers are almost identical:" Your application has not been decided. UKBA will contact you in due cause. 95% of the applications are determined within 6 months. The only thing you can do is to wai...
SHMBOO, you applied two years ago? Have I got it right? You must be kidding??!! Two years without passport, meaning that you haven't gone to another country for two years??!! Didn't you complain or something?
oluwa112, I know how you feel... I simply typed "10 years long residence process time" in Google and found the email. It doesn't look fake to me. I have a friend who made her application based on 2yrs spouse Visa - and the processing time was more than 12 months.
Hey everyone! congrats to all the ppl who has recieved their ILR. Well, i applied for ILR on the grounds that ive been in the Uk since the age of nine, and now im nearly 21 years of age (in 2 weeks time), i sent all the supporting evidence of all my studies in the uk, and proof that ive been here c...
Well, I did ask if someone had looked into my case. The answer was yes. When I tried to ask more, he said he's not a case worker and therefore he didn't know. What he could see is the information in the database and therefore he couldn't provide anything more. The rules are not designed by us and th...
I application has been held in the HO for 14 weeks. I called the HO this morning and was tald my application had not been decided. No more information was provided.
>> If she does get her indefinte stay, how to i apply to be her dependant? Sorry just by reading this, I thought you were not her dependent and you would like to be her dependent. If you are her dependent now, your status won't change. If you are not her dependent now and want to be her dependent. A...
That's right. If your wife is applying ILR based on 10yrs long residence, her dependents cannot apply along with her. One way to find the rules: When you download the application form, you will see a guide to be downloaded too. Everything is on the guide. >>If she does get her indefinte stay, how to...
I applied ILR based onthe 10 years long residence too. I only enclosed the following two documents - nothing more. Are those documents (e.g. bank statements, school letters, GP visits) necessary? I don't think they are listed in the guide... I assume they are only for people who has lost their passp...
First of all, I don't think those two teams work in a parallel way. Maybe Team 1 is in charge of Phase 1 and Team 2 is for Phase 2 - or something like that ...
>> for example approx GPB 200 * 120 cases per 4 weeks = GBP24000.
What is the GBP 200 for?
oluwa112, Thanks for your advice.
I checked my Acknowledgement letter today. The signatoury is "UK Border Agency". There isn't a name on the letter I am afraid.
Yesterday and today are the postal strikes in London. I won't be receiving anything until Monday.
