I applied on the 12th June 2015 using version 04/15 (old version). I got my approval last month, and have also got my naturalisation certificate.
So, hopefully it should be alright
Goodluck

I think its worth everyone reading the AN Booklet_ June 2015 which points to the following weblink on Page 19 https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/385792/%20Chapter_18_Annex_D_v02_141210_web_version.pdf. On document Chapter_18, read section 8 and 9. Hopefully app...

Just called the HO (three times) this morning to check if we can still use the old (March 2015 version). Two of them gave the same reply about the validity of old form till 19th June 2015. However, when I called the third time, at first the representative said straight No, that the old form will not...

It seems the Passport Office may be having some new staff who do not know many details. I faced an issue to book an appointment for a fast track service for my son's BC (as he was born after my ILR). Finally, I managed to book an appointment this Tuesday (7th April 2015) and it seems they have issue...

Thanks Vinny I spoke with Home Office as well and also got a call back from Liverpool Contact Centre confirming the same. Somehow, there is a general confusion among staff in the Passport Advice Helpline about people in my situation. I have finally managed to get an appointment for the 7th of April....

Dear members This is strange for me, but thought I will seek advise as well. I and my wife got our ILR on 6th May 2014. Our son was born on 19th August 2014. From what I knew, I thought he would be able to apply straight for British passport. So I called to Passpot Advice Line to book a one week fas...

If it's a foreign degree then get a certificate from UKNARIC as proof of comparability

Reading once may or may not be enough. However as suggested in the post above ,do as many mock tests as possible. It is also a good way of learning and remembering. I have posted the question I was given for my LIUK test on 24th April 2014. Also to someone who mentioned about posting a possible pdf ...

Put the start and end date as you have mentioned above and explain the credit of the previous month payment happening on the first of the following month. This should be clear enough. What I did with my application was to stick some clear post-its and number each of my payslip. I also did the same i...

An explanation letter by yourself detailing the absences should be enough. My friend was exactly in the situation you are in and he did the same. I was also unable to get an absence letter from previous employer. So I attached a few things and explained it in a cover letter. 1.Employment history fro...

I am assuming this is for ILR application. If you have unpaid leave then mention it in your cover letters. Include the start dates and end dates ( exit and entry dates for UK).As evidence, point to the stamps in your passport

@silent warrier I can see you have mentioned that u submitted IELTS for your wife which was dated jan 2011.

My ILR (SET (O) application at Croydon PEO for the 6th of May 2014 was successful. I applied with one dependent. Appointment was for 2 pm but arrived by 1:00 pm. Arrived early as I did not want to take any chance of delay with my pregnant wife. The centre was really packed with lots of applicants; m...

Has the UKBA website changed? Cant seem to find the right links anymore. whenever you type ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk, it gets redirected to www.gov.uk.

Any ideas how we can get to the old website?

for the purpose of settlement or nationality applications, UKBA can accept the IELTS certificate, irrespective of when the test was passed, provided the qualification is at B1 level.
So, no you don't have to give IELTS again.

Hello: I am currently on Tier1 General. I am now eligible for ILR. For knowledge of English I need some clarification for me and my wife. a) For my application, can I still use 'degree taught in English' as evidence of English Language which I had successfully used in my previous application for Ti...

Can you share your experience. What documents you sent to UKBA to get qualified with your absence situation

1. Dont need to show marriage certificate again
2. Dont nee to show address proof, but do take a utility bill in case they want to have a proof?

If you read the Tier 1 dependent guidance you will find the answer there. So because you have been in the UK for 5 years, you will have to show £900 + £600 for each dependent.

You get the same points for the 'Age' as that of your initial application.
Also you might want to read on the Tier 1 Policy guidance, as to what you need to show them for previous earnings. Also try using the points calculator
