Hi Whilst not a requirement, the UKBA does state in the notes of form Set O that proof of funds may be required ( Please seek professional advice). You can call HMRC to request a letter from them detailing your for the last 5 years. Please read the sticky not *FAQ on this forum. You will find most o...

When I applied in October the latest payslips I had was from August. The rules for teir 1 applicants is simple. You 12 months consecutive payslips from the last 15 months.

If it helps anyone I got my BRP today . It's 14 days later. Emailed the BRP twice. Apparently there was high demand for cards hence it took a while.


Many thanks to the forum for all the advice and best intentions. This forum has restored my faith in people power.

Congratulations again, I am still waiting for mine . Hopefully I will get it in the next couple days

I was too there at around the same time..

Congratulation to u as well. Next stop citizenship.

Hi mziyabo congratulations for your ILr. This is first time I am seeing you have submitted only required documents for ILR (hsmp+tier1 route). However from your another post I knew you took employer letter and P60 everything and you did not submit those. Did CW asked documents from you or you submi...

Hi, mziyabo. Did you have any missing entry / exit stamps in your passport? If so, did you bring any backup to validate the entry / exit dates that you listed on your application form? I simply listed my absences on the form. I had very few absences as I said so there were no issues to highlight or...

Nmm Many thanks. I have a son but not including him in my application as he was born in the UK planning to get citizenship for him post ILR. In terms of funds I have savings account with Nationwide which I will include together with my main application if it is requested. The balance in my current a...

I joined this forum a while ago and I am about to take the plunge myself on the 18th of October in Solihull PEO. I am currently on Tier 1 (general) having previously been on HSMP I focused on the main documents and will have a few bits and pieces as well. My file will be as follows: 1. 2 passports (...

I am not an expert. However from what I see you should be fine. As long as you didn't exceed 90 days out of the country at one go without reason, you will be fine. A lot of people get tripped up on absences from the UK. However this site provides most answers to your questions. Just read and you wil...

I agree with the previous posts. 1. There is no requirement to show maintenance funds for ILR. As long as you can show that you are employed, you should be ok. 2. You can pay using a credit as well. You don't need to rely on debit card if you are so worried. Read the application forms carefully and ...
