UKBA can only refuse if you have a unspent conviction, so if the 5 years is up then u do not need to worry.

My hearty Congrats bash!!

Did you contact your case worker as previously suggested??

I had a reply after several letters and emails, apologising for the delay and saying that the due to the huge volume of backlog plus stating that application is still under consideration. But they still havnt given us a reason as to why the further check was required. Why don't we take this to a nat...

I applied for my wifes ILR at croydon PEO on 18th April. Due to IT issues they kept the documents, then after 4 days I recieved a letter asking for a Original document which I submitted but didn't seem original to them! I managed to get hold of the document from my council and sent it back on the sa...

few people have sent letters and others have tried with thier credit card companies. Yes, you chase it after the approval.

Has any of you guys who were afftected by the IT issues and applied for a refund for the extra amount paid for the premium service managed to haul anything back from UKBA?

I been waiting since 18th APRIL! same story, IT issues popped up after 4hrs of awaiting, kept all documents, but they did send me a letter after 4 days asking for one more document(which I submitted but it didnt seem original enough for them!), I sent the requested document on the same day but no ne...

so why is it taking them 3-4 weeks to process those straightforward applications which has been affected by the IT issue? doesnt it look like they are just shoving all these IT affected applications to a corner and taking on more applications which is causing this delay?

so once the system is back up and running why arent they giving priority to those whos applications have been delayed?? there are a few people on this forum who has been waiting nearly 3 weeks now!! they are spreading this IT issues to other PEO's to make it look like its a genuine problem! disgrace...

Yep! Yet another victim of IT issue! Seems like they are just picking random people, specially the ones without a 'representitive'! I had my appointment at 12pm, my token never got called until 4pm, only to be told 10mins later what I was dreading to hear! It's pretty obvious they cannot cope with t...

ok cheers..

would credit card statements count as an official letter?

thank u chaps..I was just wondering why one would need to explain it all again when its already been dealt with in court. Can I just ak though, do UKBA have the right to refuse the application even though there are no unspent convictions?

anyone? is there any point writing up the whole story? are UKBA interested? I know there are few members who recently got ILR with convictions..any input from you guys would be really greatful!

Hi all, I am in the middle of filling out a set(m) form, just wondering when declaring a conviction do I have to explain in detail what took place on the day or only mention what type of conviction it was?

Thanks for the clarification both...

Hi all, might be a bit daft question but I want this cleared up, I am a British citizen and my wife is here on spouse visa which expires next month, we've booked the appointment online for the premium service. The question is, Can me and our lil 2month old baby go in with her although she's the only...

Nice n simple, I drive buses down there u see :) Come out of East Croydon station, turn right, walk all the way along the tram line past McDonald's, walk round the corner to your right past Barclays bank, you will still be walking along the tram line, past Travelodge, jurys inn..past two bus stops (...

Thank u barker, I was actually going to query this with ukba but since they don't have any clue about it then I won't bother. Application form Was the first thing that came on my mind too..and I havn't heard anyone mention about any other 'official form' to be signed.

thank you,

yes I did get a confirmation mail which I'll be printing off...

did anyone else had the same prob or is it just me?

Hi all, I've just booked an ILR appointment online for next month, after selecting the date and time the next page showed the following, Appointment checklist Print and sign the official form and bring it to your appointment. To do this, click Continue below. Arrive 30 minutes before your appointmen...

I am guessing you hold a spouse visa. If yes then you can apply 28 days before you complete the 2 years stay in the UK, you won't have to wait till your current visa expires. So in your case you should be able to apply for ILR in May/June 2012.

did you do CRB check and was it clean?

"Do not call this number if you wish to make an appointment if your leave is due to expire in more than 4 weeks"

how did u manage to book an appointment which is more than weeks away?
