I've used the Glasgow PEO three times and the experience have always been positive. Once in 2003 to apply for permit-free training, got it no probs. Second attendance was in 2004 for the Fresh Talent: Working in Scotland scheme. There was a problem with my paperwork (incomplete evidence), and the ch...
You send all uncancelled passports including the one you entered the UK with and your naturalisation certificate given to you on the day of your ceremony. Does that mean that we have to send our expired passports as well? I came in this country 8 years ago on my 1st passport which got expired to be...

I could be wrong, but after looking at the timeline thread a couple of times, I think there may be three teams dealing with applications: the fast one (finishing a case in about one month time - those who applied in June and have got results in July could have been processed by this team), the medi...
Hope it won't take too long for those still waiting(Nazia88, rnr79 et al.) Mine was received by UKBA on the 27th June and approval given on 26th July. Straightforward application, postal route, and I did a covering letter.

Fabulous and amazing news durian :D You live in Scotland? Now that does make sense as to why your MP was so accommodating. I lived in Scotland for 11 years and my MP very much had a presence so I wouldn't hesitate asking for his support. Actually for a while my MP was Donald Dewar and I lived next ...
I've received a letter from UKBA dated the 25th June saying that a decision has been taken. :shock: :shock: I know that a previous member (osteophytes) had an almost similar timescale but even then I really didn't expect a decision to take only about 1 month! Hope it's a positive outcome. One of th...

Passport with ILR arrived via 2nd class recorded delivery today. The accompanying letter was also dated 25th June, ie they must've processed the ILR same day. I received the letter to say a decision was made yesterday, and the passport today so maybe they were posted on different days? It feels real...

My word. I had no idea... I'm applying under 10 years ILR. One of my colleagues who also came here as a medical student obtained hers in slightly under 3 months, and another one who was on 5 years HSMP/Tier 1 took just over 2 months. I took in good faith that there were genuinely some people here w...

Hi I sat for my KoL in the UK text in 2007 and all I had was the official publication from the Stationery Office. There was a section or two of that guide which I thought was surely needing updating but didn;t think much of it. The exam itself was fine- they don't mean to catch you out and there was...
Hi Jas I had applied for 10 year ILR and there were a few entries into countries which didn't get stamped in my passport. I made a note of this in my covering letter. I think this should be ok. UKBA itself doesn't stamp one's passport when he/she returns to the UK from Ireland, for example! All the ...
Since all our application forms get sent to Durham, does it mean that the Initial Considering Unit is based there? If the applications are allocated to various offices around the country - would this refer to Further Consideration Units? It sounds completely random. Just like how one office may be s...
I fully agree that international students contribute significantly to the local economy. Some of our fees were just exorbitant! They can always say that it was our choice anyway :? My feeling is that 10 year student applications may be more difficult for caseworkers to process because it doesn't 'fi...
Would you mind sharing with us your timescale please?
