Got it, thanks!

Thanks. This clarifies.

Follow-up question - The professional referee can be based outside UK as well (since he can be any nationality), correct?

Hi, I'm a bit confused on the referee requirement. The HO guidance states below: You must ensure that the following requirements are met: The referee must: • have known the (adult) applicant for at least 3 years • a British passport holder and either a professional person or aged over 25 (at least o...

Thanks CR001 for confirming!

Hi,

Quick question - As an ILR holder, can I claim tax-free childcare for my kid? Note that my spouse also have ILR and we both are within the eligible salary bracket.

Thanks!

4- is there any specific max size for the scanned documents?
The site allows max file size of 6 MB per file.

As long as the statement has your name and address and statement date, it should be fine.

if the statement has your name and address and is stamped by the bank, it should be fine. OR you can wait until 24th for your next statement.

2. yes, you will be able to download the application after payment as well. They will provide a link.

1. As far as I recall, I got the option to select the type of service after the Declaration page. Not 100% sure though.

Hi All, I am wondering based on advice from others, as regarding the passport in this post https://www.immigrationboards.com/indefinite-leave-to-remain/indefinite-leave-to-remain-tier-2-ilr-march-2019-detailed-experience-t278124.html it has been mentioned that he just submitted the details page. Di...

Hi Many thanks for your help. Can you please clarify that I can delete the following documents. Accommodation proof for the last 5 years accommodations bills 2) Utility Bills 3) Last five years salary slips 4) p45 for the last 5 years 6) p60 for the last 5 years 7) previous home office case ID numb...

1. Do not provide unnecessary documentation. The 2nd set you have mentioned is not required. You can just add P60 from last year and one utility bill with your current address. That should be sufficient. 1.a. You also need to include all the pages of your current passport and any previous passport i...

Could anyone please kindly help on my questions above. I am planning to submit my application any time now. :) - Do I list the period between visa issue date and date entering the UK as 1 of the absences from the Uk within Section 2 of the application form? No required. UKVI will do that on their s...

1- If I submit my application online and do not find the option for the premium/urgent service, can I go back or the application will be locked? No, it will be locked and you cannot change it. You will have to create a new application in case any updates are required. 2- I am applying with my family...

6a. They are asking for countries "lived" and not "visited". For visit, there is a separate question to list down any absences from UK in last 5 years. Yes, you need to provide exact details from your birth. Your passport should have entry stamps whenever you entered a country, so you can collate it...

1- does parking fine needs to be mentioned in convictions and penalties section Its better to mention it. While it will not impact the outcome, not mentioning may lead UKVI to think that you are hiding facts. 2- does driving in bus lane fine needs to be mentioned also Same as above. 3- i could not f...

1. She can apply for the T2 General visa now. However, even if she gets the visa before 15th July, dont think she can travel before that as per the guideline. 2. Not required to submit the actual BRP. You may need to attach a copy of it since there should be a question in the application form about ...

One of the key requirement for ILR application is a letter from current employer stating that they will need your services in foreseeable future and will continue to employ you. Without such a letter, your ILR application will not go through. In your case, I'm not sure if your employer will give suc...

1. Yes, you need to go back and apply from your home country.

2. if the SOC code which was mentioned while allocating the COS remains the same, and you just move higher in the role with additional responsibilities, no need for a new visa. Employer can update UKVI through the system of such changes.

Thanks. Sure, will do that in future.

@Mods - I am also in the process of applying ILR using 5 year route (T2 General), but I don't recall getting the above question about monthly costs. Any idea what could be the reason?

Note - We are renting currently and that's what I selected in the application.

Great, thanks!

There are 3 consent forms that we are supposed to sign as part of the application. I understand that first one is for me to sign, 2nd one is for my spouse to sign since some of the documentation are in joint name with her. What about the 3rd one? It says it needs to sign by someone who is providing ...

I did it for me. The letter expects the dates you traveled outside UK (both for work as well as on leave). Check this sticky thread for example: https://www.immigrationboards.com/indefinite-leave-to-remain/employer-letter-for-uk-absences-t52143.html You may know cases where folks have got it without...
