@Jambo: Many thanks for feedback!

@jaffar: If I were you I would put the relevant details there, and explain your current situation on page 13.

Thanks. So, no box to tick in Sec 3.2?...

If there was (and possibly will be) a part-time employment, shall one also leave Sec.3.3-3.5 blank? Or give there the relevant details with further clarification on page 13?...

Could someone please advise on Sec 3. of the AN form for a person who is currently a full-time university student. Sec. 3.1 (What is your occupation?) is clear -- just write "student (full-time)", and attach the enrolment letter. But then: - What should one indicate in Sec. 3.2 (Are you...), as none...

6 weeks (if booking over the phone, but I reckon the same is with on-line).

I am worried that my changing the company (and going out of UK) would be considered break. Would it be considered ?? No, it wont. To be eligible for ILR, the UKBA must be satisfied that you have spent in the UK a continuous period of 5 years in approved employment. During that period you may change...

Since this absence was less than 90 days, your continuous residence in the UK is not broken, and you should fine (provided that all the other conditions are met).

@ dimsav: So how you then interpret the CW guidelines which giving the 90-days grace period (in CW discretion of course) Precisely as it stands: this is a CW discretion and not the applicant's right . There are few success stories in the forum who got benefit from this guide and all used the Entry ...

My visa is issued on 28 May 2007, entry uk on 18 June 2007, So could u guys tell me when does Home office start counting the 28 days of applying ILR,I have got a PEO appointment on 16 May,is that ok or it is too early? The 5 years clock starts from the date of your first entry , 18 June minus 28 da...

1) Guidance for the from SET(O) available from UKBA is written well, and already contains the checklist. Please do search the forum for further info, as this has already been discussed many times here. 2) The fact that your baby girl has got a WP dependant visa is irrelevant, as this does not affect...

When my father is booking online, what option should we choose? You should get two appointments! One for your father ("family" option if applying with a dependant spouse and children until 18 ) and the other one is for you. Actually, I would suggest getting appointments over phone -- it is easy to ...

Check UKBA Elderly and other dependent relatives.

1) I have not been to the UK for 5 years (only 4 years), but my father did, will I still be able to apply for ILR? Yes, no problems at all, as WP dependants do not have such a residential requirement. 2)We are not allowed to apply for ILR 28 days earlier than finishing the qualification period. doe...

Yes.

Is there any minimum balance requirement in to the recent 3 monthly statements while applying ILR application?

No.

Hello friends I am going to apply for ILR next month after 5 yr work permit with the same employer.

Q- when did you last enter in UK?

what date can be somebody need to put in to answer this question?

Precisely the date "when you last entered in UK". What is your problem with answering this question?..

Unfortunately, the Solicitor that I consulted was wishy-washy on this. His argument was that the most compliant way is to apply from October 8, 2012, but he also stated that it is possible to apply from September 19, 2012 (i.e., 28 days before visa expiry). Your solicitor was right -- you need to a...

You both should be fine -- as discussed in sticky , FPN do not form part of a person's criminal record and ... must therefore be disregarded . The only possible issue is that of multiple penalty notices, particularly over a short period of time . Even then those 2 FPNs are also not an issue here, as...

I was granted my work permit on 1st June 2007 for a job that didn't start until 1st August. I came to England 2 weeks later on 15th June and left 4 days later. I'm over the 180 days, but this would be reduced if I don't count the initial days. So can you tell me if I should put in 1st June, 15th Ju...

while reading on ukba website i could not understand few line written underneath "Period between grant of entry clearance and date of entry uk can be counted towards 5 yrs provided this period was no longer than 3 months."

krishnais, if you'll be applying in person at PEO -- and I'd recommend that -- then the cover letter is not required. According to my experience, a CW will just ask you to provide with necessary docs one by one, so you'll have your chance to explain any "tricky" points... If you are opting for a pos...

I have a very generic query in relation to appling for jobs after ILR. Some job sites (eg: jobserve) ask you to choose your status from one of the following: *UK/EU Citizen *Work Permit *Sponsership Required Clearly, 2nd and 3rd choices are not for you -- as an ILR holder you have the same rights f...

...i did get my WP transferred to the new company, and I have got the WP letter from the home office. I am taking those documents with me.
