Dear Members, I am applying for naturalisation on 07/Dec/2016 using NCS. This means if everthing goes well, the Application will be delivered on 08/Dec/2016. 5 Years from that date i.e. 09/Dec/2011, I flew out of UK to India on Holiday. There is no stamp for this. I got only stamped on 10-Dec-2011 i...

Thanks CR001. It was helpful.

Thanks a lot O_Relly.

Dear members, I paid IHS fees yesterday evening and was about to post the application by tomorrow (09-Oct-16). Is it necessary to wait for confirmation from UKVI that the IHS fees has been received? If so, can the members share their experiences on how long it took to receive the confirmation? I am ...

Dear members, I am trying to apply for second extension for my wife under Tier 1 PBS Dependant. I am trying to fill Section K of the form and it was confusing. Can the members kindly share their experience for this section K5; Did you have a visa or entry clearance when you came to the UK K6; In whi...

Only the first letter of the Place of birth was a mistake. I have already sent the BRP and Passport with a covering letter as advised by them.

Do you really think that HO is playing some kind of silly game and asking people to send documents to some unknown or wrong address. Why were the post office people perplexed by the address? Do they think that Bristol is a non-existent city? Or does Bristol have no PO Boxes? :lol: Thanks for the re...

Dear all, Recently I and my wife applied for a visa i.e. Leave to Remain. We both received our BRP cards with visa. Unfortunately my wife's BRP had an error in place of birth. Upon writing to UKBA BRP Error team, we received a reply asking us to send back the BRP and Passport with a covering letter ...

Not required (assuming your usual statement generation date is the 24rd of every month), the latest statement should be no older than 1 month before the date of application. So you are good if you are applying any day before the 24rd of December. Thanks O_Relly. That is what I was hoping. I am appl...

I would be careful and present the most recent bank statement, get the bank to print out the statement till date and attest it. Its a bit of the task but usually helps. Cheers, J Thanks Jay. The problem is in getting the bank to attest it. The bank H**C does not attest the electronic statements nor...

Hi, I have a query regarding the bank statements date. For the previous earnings section, is it required to have bank statements covering the entire earnings period? For example, Date of earnings claimed: 01-12-12 to 30-11-13. I have current account statements till 24th November 2013. Is this suffic...

The visa could be checked in India during the immigration clearance. It might be hard to explain there after landing.

I would have to humbly disagree with you. Dependant guidance is one of the most straightforward guidance from UKBA. The requirement is very minimal. The maintenance requirement depends on extent of your stay. If you are here in the UK for more than 12 months, then the dependant needs to show 600 GBP...

This website gives very good info. Of course it is interpreted from the guidelines

The question is confusing. The rules that were applicable to the first grant itself would be applicable to you. Thanks gd_Shepherd for quick reply... what you say is correct as per the rules mentioned in the guidelines.. but I have read 2 cases on this forum where new rules were applied. So I wante...

The question is confusing. The rules that were applicable to the first grant itself would be applicable to you.

Based on above I have below questions. i) Does the bank statement (point no. 1 above) need to have joint account name or my name on it is good enough on the statement for the application? From the PBS Dependant guidance, the bank statement could be in either main applicants name or dependants name ...

HMRC website has good examples to deal with this.

Phone number is provided on the UKBA website as for the email id there is none.

(a) is not applicable as your previous leave was granted in 2011 and not before 6 April 2010. Therefore, (b) must be applicable. Are you not happy? Hi Vinny, I was under the impression that though the last grant was in 2011, it was granted based on rules before 06 April 2010. Therefore the period o...

Thank you zabiela, I had used this for initial application for my wife but totally forgot this time to check that link. Thanks for reminding.

Dear All, I am now in a total panic mode. I called UKBA. The lady on the phone informed that attributes section should be based for 80. I was under the impression that the attribute section never changes from extension to extension. Last time, I cleared for 75. Currently I will not qualify if it is...
